@PugJesus Britain must develop its own independent mecha capability, and both nations must extend their umbrella of mecha protection to cover all of Europe right up to the border with Russia and Belarus.

Can’t be letting ourselves be outdone by the French.

@GreenKnight23 @theselfhoster Yes. I wouldn’t even question it.

@adespoton @misk I’m surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people I know have installed the NOT_A_NAZI.EXE program.

I mean, it was pretty painfully obvious for multiple decades in-between our repeated attempts to market them where their singular focus lay.

@[email protected] It’s mediocre thinkers of the sort you see embedded in the bowels of every large enterprise elevated into the stewardship of something they don’t understand.

They’re the sort of people locked into the orthodoxy of what others are doing — not looking for the best, simplest, or easiest routes forward but rather the safest routes forward — the same ones everyone else is pursuing.

They squandered Mozilla’s unique position and can’t fathom why they’re locked into this perpetual decline.

@possiblylinux127 @ikidd Something sounds wrong there. I exclusively use LXC containers because I loathe docker and my containers boot basically instantly, and the networking is rock-solid.

@lent9004 @asbestos Holy crap, that looks like an awesome way to use Fresh. Thanks for posting it.

@gedaliyah If you’re not married to managed cloud services, services like rsync.net or a Hetzner storage box work very well. They require more effort, but you have complete control and can do some fun things (like using rclone’s crypt module with them). Plus rsync.net is super useful if your sources use ZFS.

Of the cloud providers, Backblaze is the one that anecdotally seems most popular.

@Lemjukes @Sunny It’s a KVM that you access over IP. It’s physically plugged into a machine’s HDMI and USB ports so, unlike software solutions, it can be used to access the BIOS/UEFI and system functions prior to hitting the desktop (like login managers and recovery consoles), and allows you to boot other operating systems and the like. It can also act as a PXE host for loading disk images, issue Wake On LAN to its connected machine, and likely a bunch of other convenience functions.

@PugJesus I can’t describe in text form how it feels seeing Poland lead the world in demonstrating how to shrug off fascism and rejuvenate their democracy.

Coupled with their incredible military history and current might, it makes me extremely NATOishly erect.

@vga @gravitas_deficiency Adhering to the much-flaunted spending commitments wasn’t ridiculous, but Trump’s framing of it was.

Back when he raised it, he was threatening to withdraw the US from the alliance if other nations didn’t start adhering to it, and as recently as this year he’s said he’ll encourage Putin to do “whatever the hell he wants” to states who don’t meet the spending commitment, directly undermining the collective defence principle of NATO.

@squidspinachfootball @marcos Syncthing syncs. It does one way syncs, but if your workflow is complex and depends on one way syncs that’s probably not what you want.

Sync things between operational systems, then replicate to nonoperational systems, and backup to off site segregated systems.

@cinaed666 @twotone I also have the Forerunner 55.

Something to note is that Garmin watches are Linux-friendly and can be used without signing up to their cloud services. You can access the watch as a USB storage device and manually grab the .FIT files on it, which you can then import into tools of your choice (or convert to .GPX for wider compatibility).

@anteaters @Anaralah_Belore223 I bet there are smart refrigerators out there that run Linux.

@rainpoint @RealAccountNameHere Their venture investment has dried up after they used their last round of ~$250m to more than double their workforce in less than two years in a drive to capitalise on crypto shit. Now they’ve had their valuation roughly halved and are left in a really tricky position, desperately needing to monetise to survive.

Spez was chasing an IPO in all the ways you’d expect of a modern techbro, completely misreading the NFT craze and the impact of enshittification.

@TheColonel @TimTheEnchanter 17 years ago is pretty much exactly when reddit became accessible. You were there from the very beginning.

I’ve been there for 14 years, and this kerfuffle has killed all enthusiasm I had for staying. I’ve switched to using reddit’s RSS feeds for the few subs I can’t give up yet (mainly those related to the Ukraine war) but I expect I’ll stop using it altogether in short order.

On the plus side, it’s furthered my deep distrust of big tech companies.

@MrShelbySan @wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.

@MonkCanatella Oh, this looks good!

My current solution is VSCode with Dendron and Excalidraw self-hosted using coder.com’s code-server. It’s not perfect, but fits well enough for me as a knowledge management system.

If someone repackages AnyType as a web app I can self-host in a similar way, I’ll be over the moon.

@spiritedaway Yep — if you want it to. On initial install you choose the level of integration you want microG to support, as detailed here: https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/

@spiritedaway @Bondrewd It depends on what you mean by ‘modified non standard’ and ‘stock Android’, but banking apps will generally work on a number of custom Android distributions providing they aren’t rooted.

All of my (UK-based) banking apps work on Calyx, for example.
