- Comment on 'It should have been safe’: twin of woman found under coat in A&E says death avoidable 2 weeks ago:
Long story short the MRI showed no impinging of the cord so we were told to just monitor it. It’s slowly fading.
The long story is that the next day the GP repeated 111’s advice so we bundled up pillows and painkillers and, still very upset, we went back. After an hour the triage nurse told us that all the GP needed to do was a referral by email and we would have been admitted straight to the spinal unit.
She then rang the GP and actually tore them a new one. It was highly satisfying.
We spent the rest of the day in spinal, her on a bed, and got seen by excellent staff who did more explaining about the injury and what to expect than anyone else had done to that point. We were in limbo about the whole thing till then.

Let’s be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They’ll sell if that doesn’t go in their favour.

Fuck.
My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She’d new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.
We get there and are advised it’s a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.
My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can’t happen.
So we leave. What else can we do.
The situation was fucking awful, but I don’t blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.

The fact you got downvoted for someone else’s assumption (that was upvoted) makes me chuckle. There’s some serious Apple hating going on here*.
*sometimes deserved. Not really in this case.
- Comment on Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse 4 weeks ago:
Written by someone who apparently has no understanding of virtual memory. Chrome may claim 500MB per tab but I’ll eat my hat if the majority of that isn’t shared between tabs and paged out.
If I’m misunderstanding then how the fuck is chrome with it’s 35+ open tabs functioning on my 16GB M1 machine (with a full other application load including IDE’s and docker (with 8GB allocated)
- Comment on fucking beautiful. almost a year into the 'verse and its starting to become more functional than that R place... better than i imagined. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve not tried it but have been keep tabs.
The two main problems appear to still be ongoing PRs/issues; magazine/community sidebar content doesn’t update and doesn’t federate out at all to lemmy, and moderation actions don’t federate at all (any of the various types) - which is particularly problematic.

- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 2 months ago:
There’s a couple of caveats with it, but I think neither are worse than your proposed flow.
- After putting things in an album you’ll need to manually run the migration job to have immich reorganise into album folders.
- Images in multiple albums will only be migrated to the path of the newest album.

Immich does support folders?
immich.app/docs/administration/storage-template/
With this you can store your photos in whatever structure you want.

- Comment on PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules, and replaces them with its own. 2 months ago:
Docker will have only exposed container ports if you told it to.
If you used
-p 8080:80
(cli) or- 8080:80
(docker-compose) then docker will have dutifully NAT’d those ports through your firewall. You can either not do either of those if it’s a port you don’t want exposed or as @moonpiedumplings@programming.dev says below you can ensure it’s only mapped to localhost (or an otherwise non-public) IP. - Comment on PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules, and replaces them with its own. 2 months ago:
Documentation people don’t read Too bad people don’t read that advice
Sure, I get it, this stuff should be accessible for all. Easy to use with sane defaults and all that. But at the end of the day anyone wanting to using this stuff is exposing potential/actual vulenerabilites to the internet (via the OS, the software stack, the configuration, … ad nauseum), and the management and ultimate responsibility for that falls on their shoulders.
If they’re not doing the absolute minimum of R’ingTFM for something as complex as Docker then what else has been missed?
People expect, that, like most other services, docker binds to ports/addresses behind the firewall
Unless you tell it otherwise that’s exactly what it does. If you don’t bind ports good luck accessing your NAT’d 172.17.0.x:3001 service from the internet. Podman has the exact same functionality.
- Comment on PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules, and replaces them with its own. 2 months ago:
But… You literally have ports rules in there. Rules that expose ports.
You don’t get to grumble that docker is doing something when you’re telling it to do it
Dockers manipulation of nftables is pretty well defined in their documentation. If you dig deep everything is tagged and natted through to the docker internal networks.
As to the usage of the docker socket that is widely advised against unless you really know what you’re doing.
- Comment on Driver deliberately crashed into cars he thought were being badly driven 2 months ago:
‘She pulled into the middle lane in an attempt to get away from him but he followed her and rammed her again.’
The woman pulled her Tesla into the hard shoulder and the silver BMW ‘got away’.
Meaning she was in the offside overtaking lane and even then still had room to pull into the nearside lane to let overtaking cars past. I don’t condone what he did but fuck people who sit in the overtaking lanes.

Universal Music Group has put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters.

Yeah, cause artists (well, people in general) love getting paid in exposure.

- Comment on queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban 4 months ago:
But, the theory goes, you’re not supposed to be reliant on third parties as you should be in control of your own domain (or within a few degrees of the person who is).
Large instances are what are antithetical to decentralisation.
Of course, the reality of it is that, it just hasn’t worked out like that.
- Comment on queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban 4 months ago:
Activitypub makes it next to impossible to “move” an instance to a new domain.
Every post/comment/and user is uniquely identified using the domain. In the eyes of ActivityPub changing the domain just makes each of those things a completely new thing.
You can set up a new service at your new domain and potentially get most all your users to migrate but they’ll be leaving behind their entire histories and as a “new” fediverse user they’ll only be discoverable via the historical posts for as long as the original server is reachable.

- Comment on How does lemmy feel about instances censoring external community posts? 4 months ago:
a lemmy instance can act as a censor and push the biases of their admins,
This is a strength of the federated model. In an ideal world instances are small and a user’s values align with those of their instance’s admins.
The problem here is that a single instance has grown so large that a decision like this has had such an impact.
- Comment on Especially this meme 4 months ago:
In the UK on the BBC One new year coverage he was the main act. That likely would not have happened this late in his career without the meme.
It was also the song he played immediately following the London fireworks coverage at about 00:10. Probably going for some record number of people rick rolled at once.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
There’s a lesson to be learned here: don’t push a massive update close to the holidays because, ya know, you might break federation and go on vacation for a week.
I mean, no one has forced any admins to deploy a new version. But yeah, this is an annoying one.
- Comment on Retain source IP when proxying through VPS 4 months ago:
So to be clear, you want traffic coming out of your VPS to have a source address that is your home IP?
No that’s not how I read it at all. He wants his VPS to act as a NAT router for email that routes traffic through a wireguard tunnel to the mail server on his home network. His mail server would act as if it was port forwarded using his home router, only it won’t be his home IP, it’ll be the VPS’s
