  Is mayonnaise an instrument?

  The same light but in it’s particle era

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a little help for a newbie⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My process has been:

  1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
  2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
  3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
  4. Settle on what service I want to run
  5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

  Hope this helps!

  Oh man that’s good stuff

  I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

  ooh getting aggressive now are we?

  I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

  Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

  At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.

  Congratulations, this is the worst attempt at ridicule I’ve ever seen

  Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is

  Very, assuming the refrigerator in question typically runs on a typical power grid you’d find in the US or Europe (source: am electrical engineer)

  Mainly because most compressors I’m aware of use alternating current (AC) motors, or at a minimum accept AC power. Batteries alone produce direct current (DC). The simplest way to make this work would involve an inverter (converts DC to AC). Cheap ones probably have at least a 10% conversion loss, so you’re looking at an hour or two at most.

  Also assumes that the average fridge runs on 12V 😂

  Real men use Incus NixOS containers for reproducible builds instead of wimpy dockerfiles 😤😤

  /s – for real though, I hope someday you finally remove the stick from where the sun doesn’t shine ;)

  What no love for Incus round these parts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see a lot of love for proxmox in this thread.

  Word of warning from my experience, sometimes PfSense seems to get confused with virtual interfaces. It works flawlessly once it’s up and running, but every time I reboot I have to assign interfaces. It will hang until I do so and will not completely come back online until I manually intervene.

  Oh cool! I didn’t realize pandoc was extensible enough to deal with this kind of conversion. I’ll give it a look!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SilverBullet: the self-hosted notes app for people with a hacker mindset⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With the rise of these .md based personal knowledge database applications it would be amazing to see some conversion software.

  I understand that each has their special sauce. Does anyone know what would be the most difficult part about building a tool like that to copy in Logseq data to SB for example?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radarr: Path: Folder '/data/' is not writable by user 'abc'⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah! I think I see the confusion.

  # /etc/subuid
  privatenoob:100000:65536
  

  This denotes the range of subuids that are available to your user.

  -u 100000:65536

  This part specifies two things ([UID]:[GID]) even though it’s the same syntax as the earlier part that specifies one range :)

  I suspect what you will want to do is use the following:

  # change ownership of the directory to the UID:GID that matches something in your subuid:subgid range, in this case 10000:10000
  podman unshare chown -R 100000:10000 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek/
  

  Then we can specify that the user in the container can match the user (UID) we specified above:

  ExecStart=podman run --name=radarr -u 10000:10000 -p 7878:7878 -v radarr-config:/config -v /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek:/data --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
  

  As a note, if you copy/pasted that ExecStart line, you might have gotten the invalid argument error because you entered 100000 (outside of your subuid range, i.e. >65536) instead of 10000.

  There’s a nice guide that gives a great walkthrough. I’ll dig through my bookmarks and add it here when I get some time.

  Hope this helps!

  There are a few ways around it. The simplest is to add the –privileged option.

  The more secure method with podman is by specifying a user (ex -u 10001:10001) from your extended subuid:subgid range after your full and proper setup of rootless podman :-)

  Then instead of chown you’ll want to use the oddly named podman unshare tool to automatically set the permissions of the host directory. You would then want to start your service with systemctl --user instead of sudo systemctl

  Open Courseware is excellent so far! I’ve done their intro to C (as a refresher) and Intro to Algorithms courses. It’s definitely worth the time.
