@adespoton @misk I’m surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people I know have installed the NOT_A_NAZI.EXE program.

I mean, it was pretty painfully obvious for multiple decades in-between our repeated attempts to market them where their singular focus lay.

@possiblylinux127 @ikidd Something sounds wrong there. I exclusively use LXC containers because I loathe docker and my containers boot basically instantly, and the networking is rock-solid.

@lent9004 @asbestos Holy crap, that looks like an awesome way to use Fresh. Thanks for posting it.

@gedaliyah If you’re not married to managed cloud services, services like rsync.net or a Hetzner storage box work very well. They require more effort, but you have complete control and can do some fun things (like using rclone’s crypt module with them). Plus rsync.net is super useful if your sources use ZFS.

Of the cloud providers, Backblaze is the one that anecdotally seems most popular.

@Lemjukes @Sunny It’s a KVM that you access over IP. It’s physically plugged into a machine’s HDMI and USB ports so, unlike software solutions, it can be used to access the BIOS/UEFI and system functions prior to hitting the desktop (like login managers and recovery consoles), and allows you to boot other operating systems and the like. It can also act as a PXE host for loading disk images, issue Wake On LAN to its connected machine, and likely a bunch of other convenience functions.

@PugJesus I can’t describe in text form how it feels seeing Poland lead the world in demonstrating how to shrug off fascism and rejuvenate their democracy.

Coupled with their incredible military history and current might, it makes me extremely NATOishly erect.

@vga @gravitas_deficiency Adhering to the much-flaunted spending commitments wasn’t ridiculous, but Trump’s framing of it was.

Back when he raised it, he was threatening to withdraw the US from the alliance if other nations didn’t start adhering to it, and as recently as this year he’s said he’ll encourage Putin to do “whatever the hell he wants” to states who don’t meet the spending commitment, directly undermining the collective defence principle of NATO.

@greedytacothief @AmbiguousProps How does Finamp compare?

@zutto @warlaan Searching about, this was Plex banning the use of Plex on Hetzner’s IP block, right? Not a decision made by Hetzner?

@Moneo @SigHunter Networking came to be when there were lots of different implementations of a ‘byte’. The PDP-10 was prevalent at the time the internet was being developed for example, which supported variable byte lengths of up to 36-bits per byte.

Network protocols had to support every device regardless of its byte size, so protocol specifications settled on bits as the lowest common unit size, while referring to 8-bit fields as ‘octets’ before 8-bit became the de facto standard byte length.

@madcaesar @otl It’s a small server running OpenBSD, configured to operate as a router and/or firewall.

Linux and the *BSDs can operate as very good routers and firewalls, usually being much more configurable and enabling you to do more complex than off-the-shelf consumer-level hardware routers. Using them on a small form factor computer with a cheap switch in front of them can give you a better performing and nicer to use alternative.

@squidspinachfootball @marcos Syncthing syncs. It does one way syncs, but if your workflow is complex and depends on one way syncs that’s probably not what you want.

Sync things between operational systems, then replicate to nonoperational systems, and backup to off site segregated systems.

@cinaed666 @twotone I also have the Forerunner 55.

Something to note is that Garmin watches are Linux-friendly and can be used without signing up to their cloud services. You can access the watch as a USB storage device and manually grab the .FIT files on it, which you can then import into tools of your choice (or convert to .GPX for wider compatibility).

@PugJesus I do not know with what weapons the third world war will be fought, but the fourth will be fought with sea urchins, hedgehogs, and porcupines.

@rainpoint @RealAccountNameHere Their venture investment has dried up after they used their last round of ~$250m to more than double their workforce in less than two years in a drive to capitalise on crypto shit. Now they’ve had their valuation roughly halved and are left in a really tricky position, desperately needing to monetise to survive.

Spez was chasing an IPO in all the ways you’d expect of a modern techbro, completely misreading the NFT craze and the impact of enshittification.

@TheColonel @TimTheEnchanter 17 years ago is pretty much exactly when reddit became accessible. You were there from the very beginning.

I’ve been there for 14 years, and this kerfuffle has killed all enthusiasm I had for staying. I’ve switched to using reddit’s RSS feeds for the few subs I can’t give up yet (mainly those related to the Ukraine war) but I expect I’ll stop using it altogether in short order.

On the plus side, it’s furthered my deep distrust of big tech companies.

@MonkCanatella Oh, this looks good!

My current solution is VSCode with Dendron and Excalidraw self-hosted using coder.com’s code-server. It’s not perfect, but fits well enough for me as a knowledge management system.

If someone repackages AnyType as a web app I can self-host in a similar way, I’ll be over the moon.

@MigratingtoLemmy @poVoq exactly what a bot would say 🤔

@railsdev @innercitadel Do you not write your web apps in assembler…?
