zacher_glachl,

On lemmy.ml at least, there’s a very good reason cause the admins are authoritarians. Can’t even say “bitch” without it getting removed.

zacher_glachl,

There are plenty of people who are completely comfortable with their partners being strippers or porn stars.

From a purely logical standpoint, given the number of strippers and porn stars out there, that statement must be true. It’s not quite something I can wrap my head around though.

zacher_glachl,

As a python developer and user of websites, please no. The web is already a slow mess and my laptop is already spinning up fans on some websites that really shouldn’t do anything much more complicated than load text and images from a database and display them. CPython would make it exponentially worse. At least pick a sensible performance focused implementation.

can I be a Free Software advocate but still use non-free software??

I’m asking this because one time, while browsing the GNU website, I noticed that some of the members’ emails had “gmail” on them!! And I asked myself how would that be possible?? And I think other members of the FSF had Gmail too. Why? Richard Stallman is against Gmail, so why would those memberse use it?? Would that...

zacher_glachl,

I mean, ever tried hosting your own email server in ${CURRENT_YEAR}? Might as well write those mails to a thumb drive and throw it out of the window.

zacher_glachl,

Unless you jump through a crazy number of hoops, your domain just gets blacklisted by every spam filter under the sun.

zacher_glachl,

As you say, 25 is not old at all. As long as you keep socializing with friends and coworkers, pursue IRL hobbies ideally social ones, etc. as you mention, I don’t think it matters much if it takes you 6 months or >5 years to reach your fitness goals.

The only people I’d consider “”“lost cases”“” I know personally are shut-ins who have long mentally parted ways with baseline humanity. An inability to have a decent conversation with people is harder to fix than being overweight and becomes more of a problem with each year of age. But you seem to be on the right track there!

zacher_glachl,

I can (and do) just read the ~/ssh/.config file if needed, it’s quite legible. In most cases however zsh autocompletion does all the heavy lifting for me (ssh ser(tab) -> ssh servername).

Still a cool idea for a script, and if it works well for you more power to you, just saying there’s more ergonomic and universally applicable solutions. (Only mentioning this since you said “I couldn’t find a decent solution to this problem”).

zacher_glachl,

Which is a perfect proxy for me.

zacher_glachl,

some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it’s an innate ability to travel and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I’d probably want to check out some questions like “what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?” or “what if someone killed Hitler as a child?” or “what if religion didn’t have such an appeal to people?” (though I suspect I’d be going back to the first universe with the last question).

zacher_glachl,

Eh, I don’t know, I’m not yet convinced mind uploading is philosophically unproblematic. I’d rather get as much use as possible out of the ol’ meat mecha before considering that.

OSS Notetaking App: Notesnook (notesnook.com)

Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I’m surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it’s also...

zacher_glachl,

How is it a “trap” to spend an hour or two configuring a tool to your exact needs, which you will then probably be using literally every day for years.

zacher_glachl,

It will be a cold day in hell when I consider using any software running on Someone Else’s Computers ™ for journalling or note taking. Even less so when there are a number of FOSS, self-hostable, highly configurable and feature-rich solutions out there (I personally am partial to Trilium).

zacher_glachl,

Literally who gives a shit about Twitter at this point.

anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

I’ve tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don’t know what I’m doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don’t understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff....

zacher_glachl,

why linux will never be a viable solution on the desktop

Has been pretty viable for me for the last 7 years or so.

why self hosting will never take off

Literally who cares, the community stands to gain nothing from another few million novice users who don’t even know or care to learn how to formulate a question or usable bug report.

zacher_glachl,

I was recently on holiday where most of the other guests in our hotel were 50-70 year old Germans.

The breakfast buffet at our hotel had a large scale coffee maker which could do some surprisingly good freshly ground coffee. What it could also do is spit instant coffee into your mug and pour hot water on top.

In two weeks I never saw someone (other than me) draw anything but fucking instant coffee from that thing.

zacher_glachl,

If only I knew…

zacher_glachl,

Lemmy core devs found to be left wing extremists, more news at 11.

zacher_glachl,

About 25 min across the city by motorcycle, or ~35 min by subway, twice a week. I enjoy driving so I mostly do the former unless the weather is truly shitty.

What I like about it: splitting lanes in the morning traffic jam. Wheee!

What I hate about it: Nothing, but I’d prefer 25 min across the countryside instead of the city

zacher_glachl, (edited )

and an industry grade internet connection if you plan on sharing your library with a few friends. Otherwise, fully agreed

edit: if you have mostly full HD stuff it might be pretty feasible with regular internet

zacher_glachl,

Agreed, as long as you handle the HTTPS or VPN setup, and set up any automatic media downloading ( jellyseer, sonarr and radarr and jackett) the end product is certifiably wife approved and works nicely out of the box

zacher_glachl, (edited )

I have a Chromecast Ultra connected by ethernet to my network. There’s an android app with a cast functionality which we both use with our respective accounts. I also hear good things about the Android TV and roku clients (but have neither myself)

zacher_glachl,

Of course, it’s forbidden, that’s definitely a more parsimonious explanation than people simply not being interested in reading rape allegations on a tech news aggregator, a technical mailing list or a Github issues page, of all places.

edit: or the Lemmy programming community.

zacher_glachl,

To clarify, I am alleging that a lot of this “censorship” is just mods deleting posts which have been sufficiently downvoted by people like me who are not particularly interested in the alleged sexual crimes or social justice plights of people, especially when we actually want to read about tech. Give me a way to filter this out a priori or use dedicated channels to discuss it and I won’t have to downvote it.

To use your analogy, write your warnings to stderr which I can easily redirect to /dev/null while still consuming the program output, and we’re golden.

zacher_glachl,

That’s all too bad and obviously I’d rather everyone was well behaved and happy. But I’m sorry to say I still don’t care enough to want to constantly read about this stuff in spaces that are supposed to be about technology (in the case of technical mailing lists and Github issues, literally exclusively) instead of people.

I don’t know what your exact issue with Hackernews is, I rarely visit it.

zacher_glachl,

I don’t have any problems and I don’t want to read about others’ problems constantly while browsing a fucking tech news aggregator.

zacher_glachl,

I do agree, filtering would be a better solution for sure.

zacher_glachl,

Sucks for them. When I want to read about it I open a newspaper.

zacher_glachl,

Sure, by all means, as I said, in that case I’ll just continue downvoting and not being sad when mods take action to keep the discussion on topic.

zacher_glachl,

100% of my dreams have about as much meaning as any other biological process.

zacher_glachl,

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made me realize the fundamental wisdom of the saying “Speak softly and carry a big stick”. A country without the means to defend itself isn’t “peaceful”, it’s just that, defenseless.

zacher_glachl,

inb4 zoomers unironically want this

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

zacher_glachl,

No need to overcomplicate things, just write a small shell script or even just an alias. I use this daily:

alias get-rekt=“sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && flatpak update -y && flatpak remove --unused --delete-data -y”

adjust accordingly for Fedora and/or snaps. Obviously doesn’t work for appimages or manually compiled stuff which should be a last resort if there’s no other sensible way to install stuff.

edit: voyager shat the bed with the code block but you get the point

zacher_glachl,

How is that a complicated alias? Seems pretty straightforward to me. But again, if you prefer a shell script which does the same thing but separated line by line, also fine

Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the...

zacher_glachl,

My justification: nobody has stopped me yet🤷

zacher_glachl,

Yeah, RIP German piracy community. Always a huge PITA to find German movies online. I wasn’t aware one company is driving most of those lawsuits though, what a wild story. Can’t fault them for finding a great business model though

zacher_glachl,

Do you really wanna make a species close to self annihilation multiplanetary though? It’s probably pretty easy to nudge a few asteroids the wrong way given the right drive technology…so not sure space colonies would change the likelihood of doom.

zacher_glachl,

The range is just a number. Name another number. From my experience, chances are if they want you for the job they’ll make a counteroffer, not outright reject jou if your offer is too high.

zacher_glachl,

Oh my god this makes so much more sense

zacher_glachl,

Great question which is not at all a promotion!

zacher_glachl,

TIL it’s now illegal to be a racist twat in private.

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

zacher_glachl, (edited )

I have a 25 min commute by subway and I enjoy banter with my colleagues. Due to covid I also know that I devolve into a troglodyte on full WFH so :shrug:

zacher_glachl,

Not if I have good reason to believe I won’t get another one like the old any time soon.

zacher_glachl,

I don’t think a civilization which would destroy their home with the single-minded goal of spreading throughout the universe in the blink of an eye should be allowed to spread beyond their local star system at all. Maybe re-evaluate after giving them a few centuries to mature.

zacher_glachl, (edited )

Is every second person on this fucking website suicidal? I guess the “lemmings” checks out.

As for me, it would have to be a number of people that, by their sudden absence, manifestly affects the life of people I do know and care about. Like, at least a billion or so if randomly chosen

edit: and that means possibly fewer if not random and more focused on my geographical location. If 100 mio die on my continent alone then the rest is still pretty screwed.

zacher_glachl,

In my country you collect 14 salaries. So yearly salary is just the only sensible way to compare internationally.

zacher_glachl,

My bad, I didn’t get notified someone replied to my comment and only just checked. As mentioned below in this thread, I meant we get 14 monthly salary payments, where “months” 13 and 14 are less taxed and are tacked onto a summer and winter month as a holiday and christmas bonus, respectively.
