Well obviously, seize the means of production?

It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.

TBH i used to alt-tab away from what ever non-work-related thing i was doing, to a terminal emulator when ever my boss walked in.

It was usually showing my latest package upgrade.

I think you mean Cole’s Law

Lots of people have already mentioned Ventoy.

MediCat is Ventoy with a ton of images and a config file. It seems great, although I chose to roll my own as MediCat had a lot of Windows-centric images i have no need for.

No Children - The Mountain Goats

But not in a “fuck you world, I’ll do what I want” kinda way. More of a “I wanna watch it burn” kinda way.

Thanks for the recommendation, stranger. I’m gonna watch that!

My favorite movie is probably Brazil (1985). It’s a dystopian movie, but the population is suppressed by absurd amounts a bureaucracy (also the state surveiling and killing it’s people). You need to fill out a form to fill out a form, and every screen is tiny, but magnified by a lens to be small instead.

But what I really love about it is the the “terrorist” Archibald Tuttle (who, very much, is not the protagonist); a repair man, who risks execution by the state, zip lining around the city fixing things like the protagonist’s air condition.

I think we should all strive to be more like Tuttle in our daily lives.

Cockpit is great.

It’s pretty simplistic. It gives you an overview of your system ressources and handles libvirt VMs and Docker (i think. I used it with Podman, but in this context both should work).

My impression was that the container and VM interfaces were pretty simple, and I wouldn’t have liked it as my main interface for those services, but it would be perfect for getting an overview and restarting them!

Grounded danish plugs don’t fit Schuko sockets, but Schuko plugs fit danish sockets (but aren’t grounded).

This leads to a staggering amount of ungrounded devices in Denmark, as most are imported and making a variant for such a tiny country isn’t profitable.

Fun fact: the danish power plug was created by Lauritz Knudsen, a Danish company who had a monopoly. They are the reason Denmark uses this plug as the only country in the world, and Schuko only became legal to install in houses quite recently, so 99% of houses still use their standard.

LK has since been bought out by Schneider Electric but we are still stuck with our special plug and most imported devices are still ungrounded.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

Node-Red can do dashboards. I don’t know if it does data logging, but I would guess so since it can do dashboards. It also supports MQTT so it should handle ESPHome devices without a problem.

It’s made for automations (and great at it) but it can be a minimalist HA hub too.

Use a passphrase (not a password) and a physical security key, like a yubikey. It also supports TOTP or whatever 2fa Proton uses, you just connect it with a laptop or phone and it gives you a key.

A physical key is much more secure than 2fa from a password manager (although both are probably fine)

Nextcloud doesn’t verify your email and has tons of other nice features as well. ProtonDrive (/ProtonMail as another user suggested) probably doesn’t or you could use your Proton address for that.

You mention allowing weak passwords are a plus. Please use a weak password, especially without email as 2nd factor.

Have you considered using mnemonics for your passphrase?

Generate a number (i would use around 5) of random words (EFF has a wordlist, humans are really bad at randomness) and link them together using silly images. For example:

• sparrow
• window
• automobile

First, you link sparrow to window: imagine a sparrow trying to break through a window, not just flying into it by accident, no, this sparrow is mad and is set to destroy it.

Second, you link window to automobile: imagine an automobile with huge windows. The car is completely normal sized except every window is at least 3 meters tall. It looks absolutely ridiculous and you feel embrassed that youvhave to drive it everywhere.

Repeat this proces for the rest of the words. It helps remembering them if the image makes you feel something, like making you chuckle or feel angry that you have to deal with this stupid contraption (only in your mind, hopefully)

Also, make sure each “link” is distinct. Eg. Don’t make the second link an automobile driving into a window when the sparrow does the same. It will mess up the order and make you jump around between similar mental images.

I only tried running rootless when i set them up several years ago and i was completely green, so it was probably me who was the problem.

Regarding podman-compose, Fedora repos has a a package that aliases podman -> docker and the regular docker-compose package, which i used before migrating to podman+systemd. It worked flawlessly unless i did networking shenanigans because Podman and Docker differs (/differed?) in so some thing simply couldn’t be brought over.

Edit: i found the docker-compose and Podman alias thingies in a Fedora Magazine post.

However, unless you use docker-compose a lot for other stuff, learning to use Podmans systemd integration (also called quadlet) is very much worth it. They’re just a really powerful combo and systemd has a ton of nice features for making stuff run and keep running.

Podman is CLI and API compatible with Docker (except where differences in implementation doesn’t allow it)

Running Podman as root is 99.9% the same as running Docker.

I have been running my homelab with Podman for several years and it is absolutely mature enough for a regular user.

Also, the docs are really good.

No problem! I’m glad you got it working!

I would just pull the first filament away from the bed and the rest usually follows along and you get a little birds nest.

I mean inserting the pause gcode command in the slicer. The idea is that this command is very basic, so every printer supports it, as opposed to a filament change command.

I used Cura and IIRC you could add “move away from the print and move back when unpaused” commands.

I haven’t 3d printed for far too long, so my memory is very blurry. You might be better off looking for a Youtube video or googling for a tutorial, but it wasn’t rocket science once someone on the internet explained it to me.

Edit: maybe try searching for something like “3d printer filament change pause”

You can also just pause it and change filament manually.

Just remember to push through some of the filament until the color comming out is right.

Because they will quickly use up a ton of storage just for showing other instances content, or did i misunderstand you?

That is a good question, but methods like pruning old content from other instances might evolve into a path for solving this (very real problem).

Federation as it stands right now is a terrible system.

I beg to differ. Right now federation is an okay solution. My proof is that it at least works, and that the problem you mention isn’t killing the fediverse (yet).

We should not forget that ActivityPub is a W3C standard, (which itself is a huge milestone for a decentralized internet) and like other similiar standards (eg. HTTP) it can be iterated on and improved when solutions to new or old problems are found.

I believe we are reffering to two different, but related things.

As i understand your comment, you are reffering to “the platform is responsible for what the users upload to it”, or rather whether they are responsible and i am reffering to “(eg.) Torrent sites don’t host copyrighted content, they only link to it”.

My knowledge about the latter is from many years ago, so i might be wholly or partly wrong.

The former i think is a really interesting balancing act, since i believe that huge platforms that earns billions on hosting user content should be forced to use some of that profit to remove dangerous content, but if that obligation was put on small platforms like Lemmy instances or even the initial Twitter or Facebook, right when they lanched, they would be never be able to get up and running, which would cement the current Big Tech monopolies.

I am not very knowledgable about this specific topic, but i believe the European Unions attempts at solving this is distinguishing between the giants and everybody else, which again, is a great balancing act.

Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it’s a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.

Thank you for correcting me. It makes a lot more sense that you can’t just encode something to make it legal.
