You don’t have to say everything on those apps, tho, just do basic stuff and for longer convos request an encrypted chat app.

Yep, can confirm works for my car too. If I press the gas pedal enough I can go faster than set cruise speed (for example, if I want to pass someone). If I lightly tap brakes, it turns kinda immediately.

I hate Jira, I hate how bloated and slow it is, and I fucking despise all the AI shoving up my face. Now they added a unclosable sidebar with all their apps nobody uses, but you can’t get rid of it.

RISC-V’s time to shine! (IIRC it is open source instruction set).

I can vouch for Forgejo, it is pretty easy.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal 5 days ago:
I wouldn’t say it is particularly easy to setup, not easier than using a Docker image at least.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal 6 days ago:
They probably meant purely self hosted. You can self hosted Gitea, Forgejo, GitLab, and probably many others.

How is WG vulnerable to replay attacks? They already address that in their documentation.

Wouldn’t it be detected via initial connection only? WG does not send packets while connected, does it?

I mean anyone can rent a server in Europe and install OpenVPN themselves. Hell, it doesn’t even need to open OpenVPN, Wireguard works just as well and is basically undetectable.
Eat shit, UK government, for real. Idiots think that by speaking the same language as US fascists they can have similarly dumb ideas.

I also love squeaky clean, ad-less internet. In this timeline, I get to enjoy both.
Blessed uBlock.

- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
I’ve setup Hauk for my dad to broadcast his location while delivering. It is only activated when he activates it, but it also works if you want to share location with a specific group of people. It has an app and a website, and can be password protected. It also records history and speed, but history can be turned off.
It is not very robust or particularly well coded, but it is a nice little FOSS app that works.

My whole home automation is using Zigbee devices, they don’t even know what internet is, and it doesnt matter which brand it is as longs it is supported by Zigbee2MQTT. Matter is great, so is Thread.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
It is always “Look, we are actually trying to help the climate” types of government. Helping to build sustainable shit? Put money towards developing open, essy to implement, and easy to service standards? Nah, we will pay a billion dollars towards some bullshit that will be forgotten in a year and 80% (if not more) of the cash will be pocketed by billionaires (to use towards lobbying either against shit that will lose em money or shit that will make em money) because the contract was overpriced.
Fuck humanity, seriously. I just wish we will get a revolution before we burn to a crisp.
- Comment on What should I get my online friend for their birthday? 2 weeks ago:
Daaamn, you are right, I was half-asleep, I have mistaken it with Void Crew.
Raft suggestion still stands tho!
- Comment on What should I get my online friend for their birthday? 2 weeks ago:
Instead of Void Crew (which uses Epic launcher and is not quite done yet) I recommend Raft. Quite replayable, fun, has a nice story.
- Comment on What else should I self-host? 3 weeks ago:
There a million ways, and you will probably find tons of tutorials each different - Docker, Docker Compose, native install, VMWare, Kubernetes, Portainer, etc. I recommend starting with a clean machine - preferably with an attached monitor - and installing your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu is among the easiest), getting Docker and Docker Compose running, and familiarizing yourself with these technologies.
Then you can start with a simple app like Paperless (document digitization), Vikunja (TODOs), BookStack (wiki), or PrivateBin (pastebin), getting it running and persist state over a period of time, then setting up a reverse proxy so you don’t have to use IPs all the time (with just editing your hosts file to point a URL to IP of your machine), and then it is a free world.
Of course, having the whole setup secure, independent, and easily manageable is partially eyperience and partially understanding your needs.
You will probably even find whole ready-to-deploy git repositories that are easily configurable, so you can go with that too.

Depends, the best source for running games is www.protondb.com
For games that are not on Steam, you can try Lutris.

That’s what Chinese propagandists want you to think, there are way more people living in (borderline) poverty (per capita) than in the US.
Social media is being fed with a slice of mainland China, but anything beyond that is people struggling to keep ends meet.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 3 weeks ago:
Also labor price is unmatched. Nobody would work for the wage they give to children in China.
- Comment on Pop it in your calendars 3 weeks ago:
Anything works really. Mint, Gentoo, Fedora, Arch all work - usually just need to install Steam and done, possibly install drivers using your package manager if it doesn’t come pre-installed. Hell, you can even do SteamOS or something like Bazzite or Nobara if i remember correctly.

This 1000x. I am a PHP developer, I found out about two months ago that the AI assistant is included in my Jetbrains subscription (All pack, it was a separate thing before). And recently found about Junie, their AI agent that has deep thinking (or whatever the hell it is called). I tried it the same day to refactor part of my test that had to migrated to stop using a deprecated function call.
To my surprise, it required only very minor changes, but what would’ve taken me about 3 hours was done in half an hour. What I also liked was that it actually asked if it can run a terminal command to verify thr test results and it went back and fixed a broken test or two.
Finally I have faith in AI being useful to programmers.
For a test, I took our dev exam (for potential candidates) and just sent it to see what it does just based on the document, and besides a few mistakes it even used modern tools and not some 5 year old stuff (like PSR standards) and implemented core systems by itself using well known interfaces (from said PSRs). I asked it to change Dependency Injection to use Symfony DI instead of the self-made thing, and it worked flawlessly.
Of course, the code has to be reviewed or heavily specified to make sure it does what it is told to, but all in all it doesn’t look like just a gimmick anymore.

Usually just needs to be set up once. A small price to pay for security.

Easiest method is Docker, but it heavily depends on your network and tech stacks.

Even more secure is having a VPS and self hosting Heascale
