- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 5 hours ago:
Yes that’s how one satellite can image a lot of area.
- Comment on Docker is not available in RHEL10 13 hours ago:
I don’t know why people ask for help and refuse to listen when it’s given.

You should be able to add the repo and install the packages anyway. If it doesn’t work, give a description of the behavior including errors or logs.
- Comment on Why are people gurgling the switch 2 so hard? 1 day ago:
Why are you trusting the word of random people on the Internet
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 1 day ago:
If you really access them that infrequently, are they actually worth keeping?
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 2 days ago:
Right. Like you might walk by someone with a cold, and inhale a small number of their virus particles. But your immune system can handle that. If you spend a lot of time with them face-to-face, the virus gets a foothold (because of inhaling more viruses, this part isn’t a perfect metaphor) and starts multiplying, it can overwhelm the first line of defense and become an infection.
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 2 days ago:
Not really, no. It’s only really cancer once the cells multiply uncontrollably. Yes, sometimes cells don’t properly perform apoptosis, but there are other mechanisms that will target and kill those precancerous cells. Only once those other mechanisms fail does it become true cancer.
Besides, even if this test did come back positive, they’d still have to identify a tumor and monitor. If you have a teeny-tiny benign tumor that isn’t hurting anything, the best course of action is to just leave it alone and monitor. Any surgical procedure risks spillage, which is basically human-induced metastasis.
- Comment on Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no? 2 days ago:
There are free tiers for some cloud providers, like Oracle (though personally I recommend against using anything Oracle ever).
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 days ago:
Yup. In a regular racing game, if one person knows how to play, they’re going to wreck everyone else, and that’s not fun. Mario Kart is more accessible, and the items, it adds an extra influence element to the game.

- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 3 days ago:
Prove it with data, else you’ll just be blindly throwing money down the drain.
- Comment on Can't get DNS to work on web server 3 days ago:
And you’ve verified that the DNS record has the correct IP address? I would check the web server config to make sure it will respond to that name. See if there is anything in the access or error logs.
- Comment on Can't get DNS to work on web server 3 days ago:
How does it fail exactly? Surely there is some error message.
- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 3 days ago:
I think that would just be a different instance.
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 4 days ago:
Including Lemmy. Especially Lemmy, since it’s so easy to create accounts on different instances, or even host your own.
- Comment on Friendica's marketing is terrible. 4 days ago:
Yes, there’s always time to learn, and code contributions are by far the most valuable!
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Those will migrate.
- Comment on Friendica's marketing is terrible. 4 days ago:
It’s open source. Feel free to contribute.
- Comment on Got any security advice for setting up a locally hosted website/external service? 5 days ago:
Isolate it as much as possible. If you can, put it on a little DMZ subnet with access to nothing else. Don’t run any unnecessary services, and especially expose only the services you need to (HTTP) and none of the ones you don’t (ssh).
- Comment on I've massively improved my home organization with this free and open-source [Self-Hosted] tool [HomeBox] 5 days ago:
Yup, that’s my use case. I set it up in case of theft or loss. Now I just actually need to go around and put my valuable stuff into it…
- Comment on IRS tax filing software released to the people as free software 5 days ago:
It’s definitely not guaranteed to be accurate to the law. In fact, I’m surprised there isn’t a disclaimer to that effect on the GitHub project page. Maybe it’s because they’re the government and if you true to sue over an error, they can tell you to go pound sand.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 6 days ago:
They can take action in other ways, including publishing anticapitalist messages in their game.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 6 days ago:
I’m not going to bother reading the article, because you can both be anti-capitalist and participate in the system as it exists today. The developers can’t pay rent with good vibes.
- Comment on Browsing Photos on Samsung TV with TizenOS 1 week ago:
A quick web search suggests the native Art Mode function is probably the best.

- Comment on What load balancers can do HA (preferably open source, web gui) 1 week ago:
Pretty much all of them.
I didn’t know haproxy had a GUI, but the config files are very simple. I would just modify an example one and call it good.
- Comment on What was Radiant AI, anyway? 1 week ago:
It was a little different, because the quests were procedurally generated. Unfortunately most of them were pretty boring, being either a “fetch the item” or “kill the bandits” quest. I don’t know another major game that did that.
- Comment on Small NAS home server woes 1 week ago:
Check the backplane before you buy drives or an HBA. The N3’s backplane just has SATA ports and molex power, you’d have to swap out the whole backplane and hack something together. The N1 and N2 are probably similar.
- Comment on First server: Buying hardware in a developing country 1 week ago:
I know in the US, local government, schools, universities, etc. will hold surplus sales when they get rid of old equipment. Maybe you can see if they do something similar near you?
You might also compare the price of a local system vs cloud hosting. That might work out to be cheaper.
- Comment on Google Restricts Android Sideloading—What It Means for User Autonomy and the Future of Mobile Freedom – Purism 1 week ago:
Fortunately I haven’t had to do this for anything like my bank app or its multifactor code app, but yeah it would be like that. For apps not published on the play store, they continue working.
