I would just extend the table-top for extra work-space or to put the water-kettle, and use the space underneath for storing pickled veggies.
- Comment on LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords 1 day ago:
AFAIK run by Luke Smith, a white supremist YouTube influencer…
And some of the guides are pretty outdated and unhelpful.
- Comment on What could cause Fediseer to fail to send verification messages? 3 days ago:
!fediseer@lemmy.dbzer0.com is probably the better place to ask.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 3 days ago:
They are the org hosting Forgejo development and are well aware of efforts to add federation to it.

In the video he explains how he removed the battery and made a direct power connection.

Neat. Now we need someone to completely jailbreak the Occulus devices so that we can install a custom android rom or GNU Linux on it.
Mainline Linux support for those Qualcomm chips is already not bad.

Domains registered at OVH include this (and 100mb webspace + one 5gb email address) for free.
- Comment on What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup? 5 days ago:
The problem isn’t incoming spam, but rather not being able to send to the larger email providers because of arbitrary spamfiltering on their side.
- Comment on What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup? 5 days ago:
An external email host. Life is too short to deal with frustrating email issues.
- Comment on Millions of Gen Zers are jobless—and unemployment is mainly affecting men 5 days ago:
I am somewhat doubtful of this. It’s not like trades went away… but they are unattractive for other reasons. Here is Europe at least, they are full of old right-wing guys that demand servitude and cultural assimilation from young people joining apprenticeships, and few make it to the grueling end after some years, and even fewer want to continue with the same shop afterwards.
- Comment on A Fediverse Permaculture 5 days ago:
Well, not a bad idea in general, but the problem identification is kinda wrong.
Fediverse instances usually don’t shut down because of a lack of funds / donations, and for those that do, the core issue isn’t the donation side, but rather the expense side with over-engineered and overly expensive cloud services usually at fault.
More commonly Fediverse instances shut down because the original creator lost interest or feels overwhelmed with the day to day reality of managing a community, as opposed to just doing the technical work to keep it running.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 6 days ago:
Yeah, sadly Forgejo is the only one working on it and it seems like the Gitea base code is making it somewhat difficult to implement (aside from the various moderation issues that come with federation that also need to be solved).
- Comment on Self-hosting Odoo ERP for small business - bad idea? 6 days ago:
Odoo is probably overkill, but if you need the POS parts then I am not aware of another option with that easily included.
Odoo itself is a bit of a pain to update across major versions and the (very nice) OCA plugins need to be managend manually. So both factors together make hosting it a bit annoying.
I don’t see a huge difference in hosting from home or a VPS, but of course a managed solution is going to be more hassle free.
I think the most important point will be to talk to your business partner about it, and probably to have a backup plan for paper based ordering in place. The latter is good practice anyway, as recent power outages in Spain and Portugal have shown.
- Comment on Self-host : review appreciated 6 days ago:
Ah, with OpenBSD? That is rather niche…
- Comment on How To: Setup and configure Forgejo with support for Forgejo Actions and more! 1 week ago:
You can try heptapod.net which is a Gitlab CE softfork with added Hg support.
- Comment on Lowering power consumption on Opteron 1 week ago:
Small 2.5" HDDs are quite power efficient, but yes 500mb is kind of the limit where I also start questioning it it is worth to run them.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Anubis is not bad for privacy, but rather the opposite. Server admins explicitly chose it over commonly available alternatives to preserve the privacy of their visitors.
If you don’t like random Javascript execution, just install an allow-list extension in your browser 🤷
And no, it is not a PR slogan, it is the live experience of thousands of server admins (me included) that have been fighting with this for month now and are very grateful that Anubis has provided some (likely only temporary) relief from that.
And I don’t get what the point of an extra button would be when the result is exactly the same 🤷
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Are you seriously complaining about an (entirely false) negative privacy aspect of Anubis and then suggest reCaptcha from Google is better? Are you serious?
Look, no one thinks Anubis is great, but often it is that or the website becoming entirely inaccessible because it is DDOSed to death by the AI scrapers.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
They are much worse for accessibility, and also take longer to solve and are more distruptive for the majority of users.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Obviously I did that, but that just means the site becomes inaccessible even sooner.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Aha, an apologist for AI scraper DDOS, why didn’t you say so directly instead of wasting my time?
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Yes, because Cloudflare routinely blocks entire IP ranges and puts people into endless captcha loops. And it snoops on all traffic and collects a lot of metadata about all your site visitors. And if you let them terminate TLS they will even analyse the passwords that people use to log into the services you run. It’s basically a huge survelliance dragnet and probably a front for the NSA.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Great that this is all theoretical 🤷 My server hardware might not be the newest but it is definitly not broken.
And besides, what good is that you can still barely access the server through ssh, when the cpu is constantly maxed out and site visitors only get a timeout when trying to access the services?
I don’t even get what you are trying to argue here. That the AI scraper DDOS isn’t so bad because in theory it shouldn’t crash the server? Are you even reading what you are writing yourself? 🤡
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
You are right, it is actually worse, it usually just overloads the CPU so badly that it starts to throttle and then I can’t even access the server via SSH anymore. But sometimes it also crashes the server so that it reboots, and yes that can happen on modern CPUs as well.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
Are you explaining my own server to me? 🙄
- Comment on Here is the mockup pic for adding Oauth Scopes in Nextcloud, but how should it actually be implemented? 1 week ago:
The email address scope is usually used as a common identifyer for linking accounts.
- Comment on Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel? 1 week ago:
And it was/is for sure the lesser evil compared to what most others did: put the site behind Cloudflare.
I feel people that complain about Anubis have never had their server overheat and shut down on a almost daily basis because of AI scrapers 🤦
- Comment on I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration 1 week ago:
Ah, you are probably right.
- Comment on I made a Firefox fork with Fediverse integration 1 week ago:
Looks pretty cool on first glance, but I think Opera had a Fediverse integration for some time already, so you are not the first to do so.
