I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.
If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.
This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.
scrutinize the protocol beforehand.
Sorry but that buys into the data miners’ self serving myths. It implies the protocol is ok unless some failure makes it leak more information than was intended. In fact it’s invasive even if it works exactly as hoped. “Tracking” is a misnomer too. It’s hostile surveillance even if it’s at population level. (Any nonconsensual surveillance that produces info to be used by people you don’t like is hostile by definition. And it’s near guaranteed that some of the buyers-advertisers, political campaigns and funders, govt agencies, whatever-will be people you don’t like). So shut it down.
Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.
It’s nice as a dimmable bedside night light. I also used the Anduril flickery candle mode at a birthday event recently.
Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.
This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.
I’d say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS’s.
You mean the blog link? That’s an awful lot of articles. Is there a single sentence somewhere saying what it is?
What is the project anyway? It’s not obvious at all.
There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.
I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.
I’d like the feed to be adjusted so that if there are a bunch of posts from the same community not too far apart from each other chronologically, to group them all together. Alternatively, a way to block communities showing in your front page view without blocking them completely. It’s not just memes, there are a bunch of other topics that also clutter up the front page constantly. Even things like news reports in Dutch, which are perfectly legit except I can’t read them, would be less annoying with this type of feature.
Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.
Yeah, I couldn’t name one either (I’m from the US). The first name that popped into my mind was Jimi Hendrix but he wasn’t British. I guess Othello wasn’t British either, and may not have even been historical. I had heard of Idris Elba but didn’t realize that he was British. No idea about the Spice Girls.
There is a story (maybe apocryphal) that former US Vice President Dan Quayle (famous for malapropisms) once referred to Nelson Mandela as a “great African-American”, fwiw.
Dang, FSF shop temporarily closed. https://shop.fsf.org/
Well what phone is it? There are tons of music playing programs on f-droid. Why not just run one? I’ve been using Vanilla Music. I don’t like it that much, but don’t feel like derping around trying more and more of them. Vanilla is better than some others that I tried.
If you can manage programmers, then yes. Everyone says that’s just like herding cats.
Main thing I want is to override site css. Who cares what the browser itself looks like.
