- Comment on Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose. 1 day ago:
Ah, now I see. It didn’t occure to me at all that shops would be afraid that people steal men’s underware or that having a cashier handle it (when properly packaged) would be an (emotional?) issue for the buyer.

Eww, you don’t wash new underware after buying it?
- Comment on Matrix to XMPP migration 1 day ago:
I think you can’t connect new devices or so and the development has stalled. But I don’t use Signal personally, so not 100% sure. AFAIK the Matrix bridge is currently being rewritten with another backend.
- Comment on Matrix to XMPP migration 2 days ago:
The Prosody docker images are basically snikket.org which is developed by one of the Prosody developers.
But Ejabberd also has good Docker containers.
- Comment on Matrix to XMPP migration 2 days ago:
The Signal gateway has currently issues, due to Signald being broken.
For WhatsApp and Discord therr is Slidge.
IRC works great with Biboumi.
I am not aware of a Google voice bridge, but there are ways to bridge to the regular phone network and sms. The easiest is the jmp.chat service.
- Comment on Matrix to XMPP migration 2 days ago:
Yes there are gatewaxy for xmpp. See for example slidge.im but there are also a few other projects.
It’s maybe a bit less than for Matrix, but the ones that exist tend to work better.

The main Nginx was still up, but the server it redirects to for the Lemmy backend was down. It eventually recovered itself, but it took longer than usual.
- Comment on Anybody else not able to get on slrpnk.net? 2 days ago:
We are having stability issues with the server right now due to what looks like a new memory leak in Lemmy.
I am traveling this weekend, but I hope to find time to properly investigate it later this week.
- Comment on Foldable solar panels 5 days ago:
With silicon based cells this seems unlikely, but with Perovskite based cells it exists already.
- Comment on signald on a pi ? 1 week ago:
Isn’t Signald generally broken right now? I think the Matrix bridge is being rewritten with another backend or so.
- Comment on Nicht vergessen, tchncs.de zu unterstüzen! 1 week ago:
Tchncs ist schon ok, aber das meiste Geld versickert in die völlig überzogenen Hardwarekosten des Matrix Synapse Servers.
Milan sollte sich ernsthaft überlegen den abzuschalten, da es deutlich effizientere Alternativen gibt (XMPP), und Element inzwischen dazu übergegangen ist die hohen Kosten als Verkaufsargument für ihre Synapse Pro Version zu verwenden (das wird also nicht mehr besser werden).
- Comment on The World Has a Serious Coal Problem 1 week ago:
There is nothing inherently preventing these things to be done with electricity from renewable sources (and the carbon for the chemical processes only acts as a cheap oxygen acceptor). It is just that burning coal is still cheaper and has existing infrastructure.
There are many economic areas where replacing fossile fuels is indeed very difficult, and only mining somewhat falls into those. The material processing necessary for solar panel production would be actually more simple and energy efficient with electricity. For example a lot of aluminium ore is already processed with electricity produced from geothermal sources in Europe.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
There are endless examples. Just look up recent delays in the reactor under construction in the UK, or the hugely delayed and overly expensive one recently completed in Finland.
There is no artificial balooning, quite the contrary. These contracts always go to the lowest bidder who then proceeds doing shoddy work and later blackmails the government for more money to complete the works.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
Again you are arguing a strawman. I am talking about costly repairs and cost / time overruns when constructing them. Nuclear reactors are just not making any economic sense 🤷
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
No one talked about Chernobyl like disasters, please don’t argue silly strawmans.
A large part of the French plants had to be recently shut down for very expensive repairs, because their containments developed serious cracks due to shoddy construction.
I am not generally against nuclear reactors, and the ones already running should be kept online for the time being, but building new ones is complete economic nonsense and way better alternatives exist.
- Comment on Sanity check - NAS with backups 1 week ago:
That seems unecessarily complex, but I guess you would need to explain more about your usecase.
P.S.: Samba is horrible 😅
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
Its the current reality in both the US and Europe. And looking at the various serious construction defects that are surfacing in French reactors that were build at a time when the government waived much of the red tape, these extra precautions save a lot of costs over the life time of the reactor.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
It’s the opposite, convincing governments to invest in totally uneconomic nuclear reactors that will take 15-20 years to build, ensures that these countries will continue to depend on fossile fuels for the next 15-20 years.
- Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet? 1 week ago:
This was always propaganda to butter over the fact that the investments into nuclear power only made sense as a basis for a nuclear weapons program. Without that (or the ambition for one) nuclear power has always been an economic black hole and with renewables becoming so cheap it is even harder to argue for it.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 week ago:
Better contribute to Photon, which Tesseract was forked from originally.
- Comment on It's the thing from the thing 2 weeks ago:
Also, TIL the Red Cross is technically supposed to be the enforcer of these conventions.
Enforcing is the wrong term, as it is a humanitarian organisation. But the International Red Cross in partnership with its Palestinian Red Crescent counterpart is very much active in documenting these violations of the Geneva convention and working together with the ICC. Of course with the world being as it is right now the impact will likely not amount to much, but they are at least trying.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
They had plans for it and afaik even got a NLnet grant, but life got in the way, so it is likely not going to happen soon.
- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 2 weeks ago:
There is also KeyOxide with solves part of it via cryptographic verification and I believe some fediverse platforms already support it: codeberg.org/keyoxide
- Comment on need help to make a minecraft server 3 weeks ago:
Is much nicer 👍
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 3 weeks ago:
Sounds quite good, but just use regular Debian, ubuntu isn’t any better and annoying with their Snap BS.
I guess i need some kind of VPN for a secure use?
You can set up a Wireguard VPN.
- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 4 weeks ago:
Well, if you have read it then your cherry picking of minor ways Bluesky is slighly less closed comes accross as pretty bad faith 🤷
- Comment on wanderer v0.17.0 released — Federation support is here 4 weeks ago:
Hmm, did Pocketbase add AP support, or how is this implemented behind the scenes?

- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 4 weeks ago:
Please PM me about it.
- Comment on Cat door in window 4 weeks ago:
Maybe just a hint to get you thinking out of the box, but cat doors really don’t need to be at ground level. They will happily climb somewhere to get in and out.
