midas,

Awesome will give this a try

midas,

I’ve been taught to balance between brake and clutch for inclines. Or is that the same thing?

midas,

You give it a bit of gas while letting the clutch pedal go up though. Or a bunch of gas if you lease a car because who gives a shit.

midas,

Assassin’s creed oddysey right here

midas,

I just pay for a quality newspaper now. I went to reddit a while back but it’s just not doing it for me anymore. And not only because the experience has degraded… The content is just not that interesting? There’s so much to do with your time.

Looking for a kanban-ish thing for around the house / chores

I want to be able to keep track of certain things I (or more accurately, we as a family) need to do. E.g. paint the shed, call the people to clean the roof, pack bags for vacation, etc. It will just be shared between me and my partner. My partner is not super technical but is relatively open-minded to me wanting to do things...

midas,

I’m just happy I’m not a frontend developer

midas,

This is a good point imo. They just don’t know the breadth of it yet. Being experienced also means getting a grasp of the amount of stuff you don’t yet know.

midas,

Audiobookshelf can handle podcasts as well

midas,

Polestars look better imo

midas,

First time dipping your toes in Linux with a Nvidia card should be PopOS’s Nvidia image.

midas,

That’s rough… No idea how I’d cope with that. I don’t think I’ve ever had a datacap on any residential connection here in the Netherlands. Currently got 1gbps fiber up and down for 50 euros I think.

TV however is still a huge scam. I just want to watch football but have to have a billion other channels too I think. (Ima see if I can change this now lol)

midas,

Genuinely? Find a friend with a plex server. There’s plenty of us out there with huge libraries and the automations setup but they’re barely utilised. Got any tech-savvy friends or peeps on Lemmy near you?

midas,

Yeah I thought it may even be lower effort since you don’t do any of the administration. But maybe abut of a high threshold to find someone reliable.

midas,

This thread has been the first time I’ve been downvoted for a good faith comment I made lol

midas,

Looks dope! Good job lads

Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

midas,

Yeah I’m completely over to firefox now. I can’t help but notice firefox mobile is still a bit sluggish though but eh

midas,

I’ve never equated libertarians with white supremacists. When I think of libertarians I think of 22 year old techbros (old enough to have money but too young or sheltered to have experienced hardship that adulthood brings) who wanna smoke weed and think the fire department should be a PaaS startup. I get mine and what do you mean it’s not realistic dude

midas,

Isn’t oppressive authoritarianism one of the elements that make up fascism?

midas,

Really don’t feel like going into a supposed gotcha since you have to realize it’s a sliding scale. So it’s not my logic, it’s your logic.

midas, (edited )

Would be pretty sick if they effected us. Like a trans person comes around the corner and suddenly fireworks go off and glowsticks get handed out

midas,

Would also be cool to have like a short questionnaire, like picking your class in Morrowind, but instead you end up on a German industrial metal music instance.

Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?

I’m currently running Arch and it’s great, but I’m noticing I’m not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I’ve been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I’ve got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don’t do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden,...

midas,

Thanks for the config! I’m a developer and that also contributes to my interest - being able to express my configuration like that. Your config is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way, I’ve created a git repo for myself to start off and using yours as a reference since you seem to do a lot of cool shit. Am going to start off with flakes.

Not sure if I’m going to jump in with both feet yet (since apart from my work laptop and servers, this is my only machine) but I am going to journey into writing a conifguration properly and testing it on a VM. Already using nix packages on my Arch install.

midas,

Now you’re just listing assassin’s creed games

midas,

Comparing the Konstaui.com kitchen sinks for ios and android, android looks way better. ios looks like a kids toy

I'm done with NextCloud

Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart...

midas,

I’m using the LSIO docker image and I could not locate the occ file to fire off the reset - but even then - I didn’t need to reset my password anyway…

midas,

I’m giving this a try now - it’s true it still saves the files on disk somewhere right? AFAIK at least so, this fits my requirements.

midas,

I run a separate instance of postgres since I also use it for a lot of other stuff.

it seems like restarting shouldn’t help unless it’s something else.

I’m honestly also baffled

midas,

I’m also a develop and my philosophy is that stack traces are for the developers but they should be translated to informative error messages for the user. Otherwise you’re doing security through obscurity.

midas,

It’s the LSIO image hooked up to seperate (but also docker) postgres db that’s also used for other apps. The data and config directories are bind mounts to the local filesystem. It connects to a samba share via the external storage plugin. It is exposed to the internet through a caddy reverse proxy though (the database isn’t)

midas,

Giving this a shot, importing everything through the CLI now

midas,

No problem! It’s good software but I’ve honestly been burned by applications that only keep this kinda stuff in databases. If you do daily backups/exports it’s probably OK but I don’t trust myself not to fuck it up.

midas,

When I first started selfhosting I put latest on everything AND used watchtower. Quickly learned my lesson.

midas,

Selfhosted

midas,

Yeah - don’t see any evidence of that in the logs + why would it work again after a restart?

midas,

That’s really cool. I’m giving Immich a try now but I saved your comment.

midas,

I honestly don’t see how my issues are related to docker. Sure the occ app was missing (or I just couldn’t find it, but the conclusion was that I didn’t even need it)

I’m running Linux so there’s not really any inefficiencies in regards to resources AFAIK - it’s just namespaces and cgroups.

midas,

Unless there’s a rust application under that hijab I don’t care!

midas,

They’re fascist assholes so good riddance imo

midas,

Fuckin love Erik. Man is an absolute wordsmith

Edit: wow just noticed the downvotes. I guess it’s just people downvoting because of the title? It’s sarcasm all the way down with this guy.

midas,

Weid, I’ve got no issue using fastmail for smtp

midas,

Not sure if I completely understand but I think you want public service 1 accessible on subdomains s1.domain.com and internal service 2 on s2.domain.com?

Just point the A record for s2 to an internal ip address (or a tailscale ip). The only thing dns does is translate a (sub)domain to an ip address. So outside of your network s2.domain.com wouldn’t resolve but inside your network it would.

midas,

Edit: dupe

midas,

A domain is like 10 bucks a year. This is just ego

midas,

I’m personally kinda hoping that we will see less “general” Lemmy instances but more “interest oriented” or “alignment oriented” instances. I applaud the startrek / programming / piracy instances. Even the tankie and altright nut job instances are useful.

Edit: oh I just replied to a 2month old comment my bad
