Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it's not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn't blocked - that's a clear sign that you haven't presented you data in an easy to review format.

Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.

The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.

Chrono Trigger.

Yeah. And you can also develop skills in jail - doesn't mean we should be throwing people in jail indiscriminately and then argue it's for their own benefit so they can learn new skills.

Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it's a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It's blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you're planning on using containers). I've been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought "man, I wish it was debian instead".

Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter 'n' :)

They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally "God gave", the "Joh" part meaning "God", and "Nathan" meaning "gave".

Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could've done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn't blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

What's happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.

No, it absolutely uses a Linux kernel.

And that is why in some places in the world, service fee is illegal.

Is this about the PWA rotating when auto rotation is set to off? Sounds like a bug on the device, as it's not happening to me.

Exactly. The issue is with the source of electricity, not with the AC itself. Not to mention that leading by example is nice, but it's not always the best course of action. An individual avoiding AC is a drop in the water, and not going to save the planet, while suffering immensely. Hell, even if every single individual stopped using AC at home (which isn't even close to reality), that wouldn't have a significant effect, compared to what corporations, factories, etc. are doing.

That is a complete overkill. You don't need a cluster of Proxmox nodes for personal hosting. And you certainly don't need a 24-port switch.

And the oceans are too cold for them, so they are pushing us towards global warming, right?

That's a really nice setup! I run most of my things on a docker swarm (the docker hosts are VMs running on Proxmox hosts), though that was an overkill in retrospect, and causes more problems with no practical advantages.

The range of services I run is similar to yours, but I also have a bunch of services for personal finance (beancont/fava, as well as automatic importers and such), a more extensive media setup (with qBitTorrent and *arr apps), a gitea server, and a vaultwarden instance.

Chrome Remote Desktop works well and doesn't require a monitor (at least not one that's turned on).

I have a Weber grill. It's about 8 years old. I realized there are some issues with the model (it's a Q) shortly after buying it - mainly, the heat is not consistent all around, so you have to know where to put each piece of meat. And the heat output overall is lower than I would like. But it just won't die. It just works, and works, and works, without any issues whatsoever. I don't bother covering it up in the winter, and it doesn't rust. I'm stuck with it's downsides forever.

Not necessarily demanding, but Uncharted is a very pretty game, and fun, too.

A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I'd like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I'm also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I've been mostly kicking that ball down the street.

Ah, the sweet sweet taste of anti-Israel propaganda... How long have you been drinking that?

Proxmox backs up the VMs -> backups are uploaded to the cloud.

I'm on Android 13 with Firefox, and haven't noticed the issue. Tried specifically to disable the autorotation, rotate the phone while kbin was running - and nothing (it does rotate when autorotation is on). I installed the PWA about a week ago.

I see. I guess Firefox works correctly.

Look at the video posted by no other than Al Jazeera (find it yourself, so you don't say I'm providing you with fake videos). You can clearly see a rocket launched, exploding in mid-air, and the explosion at the hospital, located underneath, shortly thereafter.

That awesomebudget looks nice! I'm more of a beancont/fava guy, and too invested in my setup to try something vastly different - but it sure looks like a cool option for people starting out.

What about kbin?

Not sure what Linux ISOs are, but it's pretty rare that something is only available with Dolby Vision and not HDR10. Have you verified that HDR10 gives you trouble? 4K HDR is also usually HDR10, unless specifically marked as DV, in my experience.

Anyway, another option, if you don't care for HDR, is to transcode/tonemap everything in the background. This way, you don't have to worry about performance during playback.

Android TV should handle HDR automatically (and tonemap it if needed).

Green and pink tint sounds like the source is Dolby Vision, not HDR10. So, 2 questions:

  1. Why do you need HDR sources if your displays don't support HDR?
  2. Assuming the answer to (1) is that you're future-proofing, why not just get HDR10 files instead of Dolby Vision?

Hear me out. Why don't we create a paywalled API for 3rd party apps (like Threads), that will end up costing, say, $20 million annually to use at Meta's rate... And then use the proceeds to keep all the instances running, and for other shenanigan.

Try punching 2 holes in your tire, and demand to pay for at most 1 puncture repair, let's see how far that 0 or 1 hole argument gets you :)

Depends what you’re transcoding to… show me a CPU (without a built in encoder like recent ones) that can handle a 4K HDR transcode…

Ah. Sarcasm is difficult to see in text based communication.

The story here is very selectively presented to suit the points made by OP. So either OP is creating propaganda, or creating new propaganda. So are you, when you are talking about "well documented atrocities" out of context.

I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

As for musl, I haven't mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn't matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.

Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we'll stop seeing this... For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something's gotta give.

I mean, one side targets civilians and sees civilian casualties as achievements. Another side targets military infrastructure located inside civilian territory, and sees civilian casualties as collateral damage. Saying both sides are the same is either ignorance, or malicious misinformation.

Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news... It's thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.

So, basically: people performed atrocities. Are they evil? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, the BBC has no idea whether it is evil to perform atrocities. Right.
