A PHP developer who, in his spare time, plays tabletop and videogames; if the weathers nice I climb rocks, but mostly fall off of indoor bouldering ones.

How is being paid "from pushback to arrival" even vaguely legal?

"...prohibits repair stores from repairing components on the mainboard. Instead, the entire component must be replaced..."

A flagrant disregard for the costs of e-waste on the environment. What a surprise.

Wish this kind of joined up thinking happened in places other than the Nordics.

Data centres and industry exist and dump heat all over the world. Putting it to use is a no brainer.

It seems the majority of the torrents with poor seeder count are in the 1.5TB+ range. I just simply don't have the storage for that. Most everything in the 0-300GB range is pretty well covered.

In theory this is done. There is a Do Not Track (DNT) header that is browser defined. Does anyone use it? Do they fuck.

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It's produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There's no prerecorded sound that would work.

There's a huge amount of it on the fediverse right now. People are working very hard at getting rid, all of them volunteers, and in their own time.

Very first line of the GitHub readme. As a support tool it's mostly useless, endless similar or identical questions answered differently or not at all and none of it indexed by search engines for use on the web.

It's an awful data silo / black hole that increases volunteer load.

I work for the UK government. Everything my organisation does is licensed in either MIT or OGL (https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/)

Developing code in the open really helps ensure you nail down your secure coding practices.

Aside from everyone who's using flutter?

If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.

It's the multiple volumes that are throwing it.

You want to mount the drive at /media/HDD1:/media or something like that and configure Radarr to use /media/movies and /media/downloads as it's storage locations.

Hardlinks only work on the same volume, which technically they are, but the environment inside the container has no way of knowing that.

but humanity is evil too

Emphasis on this. We humans have become Xenophobic Christofascists* turned up to 11. All aliens are bad** and anything against established doctrine is heresy of the highest order. Human labour is essentially free vs the gross expense of materiel so the leadership will think nothing of having entire generations of a planet mine out some toxic substance that kills before you age much past the ability to outbreed it.

In short, anyone who claims humans are the good guys, is misguided at best.

*EmperorFascists as the ruler is the Immortal God Emperor.

** Officially, but there exists means and people who can deal a little more diplomatically than with a gun.

I need sound with this.

This is a 2 and a half (almost) year old article. I figured Tim's thoughts on this were common knowledge at this point?

blocked part of url because I have Kagi rewrite url to redirect to my private Redlib instance

I had no idea this was a thing. Thats going straight on my self-host todo list.

You say that, but you simply have to be using something that isn't Lemmy and that information is there (doubly so if you're an admin on any of these systems)

Activitypub makes it next to impossible to "move" an instance to a new domain.

Every post/comment/and user is uniquely identified using the domain. In the eyes of ActivityPub changing the domain just makes each of those things a completely new thing.

You can set up a new service at your new domain and potentially get most all your users to migrate but they'll be leaving behind their entire histories and as a "new" fediverse user they'll only be discoverable via the historical posts for as long as the original server is reachable.

If only k/mbin federated better - I'd be all over it :(

a lemmy instance can act as a censor and push the biases of their admins,

This is a strength of the federated model. In an ideal world instances are small and a user's values align with those of their instance's admins.

The problem here is that a single instance has grown so large that a decision like this has had such an impact.

But... You literally have ports rules in there. Rules that expose ports.

You don't get to grumble that docker is doing something when you're telling it to do it

Dockers manipulation of nftables is pretty well defined in their documentation. If you dig deep everything is tagged and natted through to the docker internal networks.

As to the usage of the docker socket that is widely advised against unless you really know what you're doing.

Easily doable in docker using the network_mode: "service:VPN_CONTAINER" configuration (assuming your VPN is running as a container)

Immich does support folders?

With this you can store your photos in whatever structure you want.

Just paid £650 out to get my 2007 Astra hatchback through an MOT.

It doesn't get driven much so it makes zero sense to replace it. Even if I'm spending double that in a year to keep it on the road it's still waaaaay cheaper than me paying for a "new" one. It's got bodywork rust now though and it's apparently really hard to find a place that'll do repairs like that :(

All votes are public, they're literally broadcast to the Fediverse writ large. You vote on something on your server, your server then tells the server owning the thing you voted on and that server then tells anyone who is interested (subscribers on other servers). That way everyone knows that this comment was voted on, but that information is indelibly tied to you - an entity on the Fediverse.

Lemmy devs just chose not to a) show that information in a UI (plenty of other software out there does) and b) not inform people that was the case. Which leads to the whole point of the thread, hiding this from users merely gives a false sense of security.

With a small amount of effort and the use of https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher and https://github.com/g3rv4/GetMoarFediverse you can mitigate basically all those issues. It's still not perfect by any means but it results in a perfectly usable single user instance.

The first populates the replies of the home timeline posts you see (as well as profiles of people it finds in those replies) and the second pulls down all the content from instances you select for your followed hashtags (choose mastodon.social and you can guarantee you'll see most all posts with those tags)

Except, if you're using anything other than Lemmy at this point that information is already about. The Likes/Dislikes are considered public information by the protocol. Lemmy devs probably just didn't get around to building out the UI for that before the Reddit APIcolypse.

"For example, if every time I post a new update on BlueSky, if I had to send my post to every single one of my followers’ repositories, that would be extremely inefficent"

Somewhat ironic to have this posted on and activitypub driven fediverse.

I'm reading this scratching my head going "If your unit tests need a database they ain't a unit test".

allows it to make its tokamaks at only two percent of the volume of conventional tokamaks

Strap that into a tank, with - hear me out - legs, and we're golden.

Quite different!

In UK nomenclature being made redundant, rounds of redundancies, and layoffs are used interchangeably. A percentage of the workforce loses their job because of circumstances outside their control.

To be fired/sacked though, that very specifically means you did bad; you failed to do your job.

It's probably similar in Australia?

Hugo can be as simple as installing it, configuring a site with some yaml that points at a really available theme and writing your markdown content.

It gets admittedly more complex if you're wanting to write your own theme though.

But I think this realistically applies to most all static site generators.

He was selling the vaccine passports that he was issued to anti-vaxxers.

There's a lesson to be learned here: don't push a massive update close to the holidays because, ya know, you might break federation and go on vacation for a week.

I mean, no one has forced any admins to deploy a new version. But yeah, this is an annoying one.

Apple has pretty robust parental controls on their devices.

Source: am technical enough to have set them up.

US tech wages are just nuts. In the UK I'm basically maxed out for a non-London based software dev at about £70k (~$87k). Meanwhile I have a friend who has managed to land a job with a London based US tech firm on about £120k (~$150k) which is massive for here but reading this is still a long way off what is possible.
