And this picture perfectly demonstrates why I'm stuck buying the (usually slightly worse) "S" versions of smart watches.

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.

Someone is having a very bad day

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.

Aside from everyone who's using flutter?

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

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

I need sound with this.

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.

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

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.

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 :(

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)

"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.

Someone wanted the chain to fail, you can't steal concrete slab - it's worthless rubble.

Annoyed that this didn't pull the thumbnail. Boo

Quite different!

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.

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?

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.

I think thats radicale

Each devices encryption keys are unique and non-transferable. Each message in a conversation is encrypted in such a way that every participating device at the time of sending can decrypt it.

New devices (like desktop clients) didn't have their keys used for old messages and so can't decrypt them. There is no way to reencrypt old messages with additional new keys.

It's both annoying as shit, and also the only way to ensure a bad actor can't just add themselves to conversations they weren't a part of.

There's a couple of caveats with it, but I think neither are worse than your proposed flow.

1. After putting things in an album you'll need to manually run the migration job to have immich reorganise into album folders.
2. Images in multiple albums will only be migrated to the path of the newest album.

Some moron has changed the demo users password. Good job.

From the screenshots it looks pretty nice!

but those concerns appeared to have disappeared by the time the Vision Pro and its two screens directly in front of users’ eyes took the (virtual) stage.

Lost me here. The focal distance of those screens is not 2cm. Unlike the phone you hold 25cm from your face, when you're lying in bed at night failing to sleep, they have clever lenses and shit.

For all the same reasons it's dominant in the US?

I got lucky. Back when that privacy scare with Whatsapp made mainstream news my Aunt asked in the extended family chat what alternatives there were. I responded that I use SIgnal with my friends (all 2 of them on Signal at the time) and just like that everybody switched. 2 hours later my entire paternal family are on Signal, and still are.

What Usenet provider/s did you end up using?
