Didn’t the refactored netscape eventually evolve into Firefox though? Not disputing the poster child status or the fact that it’s a terrible business decision, but the project did not really go stale I think?

What’s IVF in this context?

What kind of drones are these? Sounds like they’re consumed when used, are they basically missiles/rockets with better control?

For private use? Hot take, but Arch. It’s easy to maintain and not easy to break at all. I think I spend zero time on maintenance other than running package updates. I only reinstall when I get a new computer.

(I say for private use only because you’ll be getting weird looks from people if you use arch on a server in a professional setting, and it might break if you try to update it after five years of not doing it since there aren’t any “releases” to group big changes - in practice I run arch on my home server too with no issues)

Just write some content without no soul and not a shred of humanity present. I.e. use the platform as intended.

idk, China is pretty good at providing cheap electronics at least. But certainly would be better if they were more properly leaked.

Good they got caught, good that they leaked important tech from the walled garden of Samsung. All around fantastic news.

This is so cool, first MQTT-based sensor I’ve set up. Already had a broker set up with HA, but how can HA automatically discover which topic to listen to, know the vendor name and how to interpret all the data?

Interesting, so I guess those API-calls are just fetching the cached calendar on my HA Yellow. Wonder why it’s so slow, but I guess there’s not much to do about that then. :(

Not exactly. My main use-case here is for my girlfriend and me to see each both of our calendars in one place, and HA had support for it and is a web portal we both have access to. To do automations on them is secondary.

Currently, whenever I look at the calendar control panel it will load for a bit while pulling all the calendars, and sometimes timeout and not show anything. I believe this to be because it’s pulling from Fastmail / iCloud everytime and might be rate limited or just have a poor connection, this wouldn’t be an issue if the calendars were stored on the instance itself because then it would only miss the latest entries.

The idea that maybe I can self-host an app that does it is that if HA can’t do the caching, then maybe this self-hosted app can and it wouldn’t matter that HA fetches it remotely each time since the remote is on the same local network. Having them as separate calendars is still desirable since that gives some additional information.

A unique fermentation method being piloted in Japan transforms edible leftovers and scraps into sustainable feed for pigs.

You might’ve missed a detail.

They already have something kinda like this. All public wifis require that you sign in with phone number and SMS-verification. It might not be as air-tight as whatever the article is about (like a chad I only read headlines), but in practice it seems pretty darn tight IMO.

Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you’re good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it’s under very active development (#scary).

Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they’d gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Along came streaming. Lo and behold, piracy decreased. Where the fuck do you even go to pirate music anymore? All the big sites have shut down. Video piracy is kinda still going strong, probably mostly due to bullshit concerning exclusives, but it’s way less than it used to be.

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.

Could be difficult. Name is a bit stained.

Why not?

the biggest selling point for me is that I’ll have a mounted folder or two, a shell script for creating the container, and then if I want to move the service to a new computer I just move these files/folders and run the script. it’s awesome. the initial setup is also a lot easier because all dependencies and stuff are bundled with the app.

in short, it’s basically the exe-file of the server world

runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)

that’s true I guess, but for the most part shit’s stuck inside the container anyway so how much does it really matter?

you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it

you kinda can, reading a Dockerfile is pretty much like reading a very basic shell script for the most part. regardless, I do trust most creators of images I use. most of the images I have running are either created by the people who made the app, or official docker images. if I trust them enough to run their apps, why wouldn’t I trust their images?

lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules…)

that’s sort of the point, isn’t it? stuff is isolated

You won’t be able to catch one on camera.

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don’t think it’s a given that something will take its place.

As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.

I get the same all the time. OP reminded me to check today and Jetbrains toolbox had cached a lot of downloads that took up 42 GB in total. yarn folder with 2.3 GB. bazel folder with 15 GB (apparently used for building Anki),7 GB paru clones.

All in all it added up to 82 GB.
