However you like. Also depends on your conversational partner. Not every man is the same.

Crazy people. Aldi/Lidl here (in Germany) have cans of chopped tomatoes and the standard size is 425ml. Which is pretty much good to make pasta sauce for 2 people?!

I get bored watching other people play sports. So I usually don’t. I’ll watch a bit of the Olympic Winter Games every now and then, but that’s it.

I don’t need any proprietary servers. So I’d vote for dropping the non-free projects. Except maybe Unraid and Plex maybe. I feel that’s (become) part of selfhosting.

And I think all the new accounts advertising Slop-projects are massively annoying. I’d rather talk about other stuff and send them someplace else.

You’re talking to the wrong people. Go ask on Reddit.

You a bot stuck in some post - delete - post again loop?

Well, calling it nonsense was the first thing that came to my mind, so guess we’re all “right” here?!

That’s nonsense. There is no ‘H’ in SSD. The ‘hard’ as in hard disk drive comes from the spinning disks inside being hard. In contrast to the floppy ones inside of a floppy disk… A solid state drive has no spinning disks at all. It’s just computer chips if you open it. So we cross out any ‘H’ and ‘F’s. And you’re left with the ‘D’.

I think it’s basically that. There’s new commits in the conduit repo. But it’s like one minor thing each other month. While other projects have a lot if activity and added a ton of features and MSCs. At the same time they’re equally as stable and possibly easier to use. So… Why not use one of them? You’ll get more features, quicker fixes for annoyances in Matrix. And I always wondered why Matrix doesn’t come with threaded conversations by default. And clients which can do multiple accounts.

Take care. Yeah, some things are really easy. But then at some point it always gets nasty, there’s a million details to learn and you can keep digging down pretty much forever 😆 If you’re at some time in the position to do it as a hobby, there’s ways to make it a bit less time consuming. We have some turnkey solutions. I sometimes recommend https://yunohost.org for people who just want to set up a server without dealing with all the low level stuff… But still, it’s an entire hobby.

Screw electronics. I’ll finally get time to play my 100 board games, pen and paper roleplay games and all the stuff I currently don’t do, because I’m doomscrolling all day. And I might have to ask the neighbour to bring their accordion and sing some Lady Gaga for me until Spotify comes back online. I think I’d be fine.

Just a word of caution, It’ll be dark in the supermarket at that time. The electronic cash terminals cease to work and half the food is going to spoil within a few hours. So get some cash, rice, noodles, oil, ketchup and canned food. And you’ll need some sort of water supply.

Sure, sorry, you’re in the selfhosted community, so I sent some self hosted options 😆 If you own one of the internet/wifi routers with Wireguard built in (FritzBox, MikroTik, etc…) that might be an option as well. Other than that, I never tried any of the more commercial options, so I don’t know much about it.

Google and/or the Arch Wiki should have you covered. For my Dell laptop I just clicked on Settings->Battery and set it to “Preserver Battery Health”. Done.

I’ll go ahead and remove the battery. At least check on it regularly. I’ve had the spicy pillow syndrome in some of my laptops and phones. So better not have that plugged in and trickle charged for half a year.

If Tailscale doesn’t suit you, maybe try one of the alternatives. There’s Pangolin or plain old Wireguard tunnels.

What do you mean by that? Centralization of the internet? And an uptake in capitalism, to a degree that it’s now a handful of companies and providers who do the lion’s share of everything? Sure, that’s been happening since 2010 or so, plus minus a few years.
It’s not one huge server, though. They’ll have datacenters all across the globe.

Yeah, I skipped the more ambiguous ones. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube etc will distribute their content via the web. So they’re kinda webservers. Though the infrastructure which feeds in cable TV aren’t. It’s complicated.

Server is a general term. Webservers are a subset. We have video camera surveillance servers, telephone servers, internal document servers, web servers. They’re all servers. And webservers are one variant of it.

I don’t think we have any support community for WSL. You could try one of the Windows ones. https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=Windows

Or !techsupport@lemmy.world but seems you already found that one.

Googling specific error messages might also help.

I was talking about “Yundera”.

Is this a casaOS fork you need to sign up for, to get it installed? …Why?

I mean you probably want to use Git to solve some kind of problem in your life. The usual use-case is to manage software projects. It’s also good at managing text files of any kind. Whatever you like. A HTML file is text, too. It’s a bit less good with images and other binary formats. But you can use it to manage them as well.

As a beginner, I’d start with small things. And not in a real code repository. Copy a few text files into a directory, and then commit them into version control. Modify them. See how the workflow is. Check if you can go back 2 versions and find out what changed. Do a branch and edit stuff there, then get it into the main branch. See if you can cause a merge conflict and handle it.

If you can do all of that on random placeholder textfiles, you can move on. But we’d need to know which programming languages and software you like to give recommendations.

Yeah, use Armbian. And Debian mainline and Arch Linux (ARM variant) run on the Cubietruck as well. Most of the stuff has been mainlined. I just can’t get graphics acceleration working. Other than that you could just install any regular Linux distribution. If you’re willing to put in the extra effort to deal with u-boot or whatever we use these days and the other effort involved to put Linux on an ARM computer. There’s info on their Wikis. And https://linux-sunxi.org has some information as well. Most of the times general instructions for A20 boards apply.

Maybe try a different bed temperature? And I got some improvement after cleaning the bed with alcohol.

Not sure how easy it is to sample a digital signal that fast. The specs say it’s 350ns - 800ns. So my calculator says that’s about 3MHz. I don’t think noise etc will be an issue. And an opendrain input should be fine and not mess with the bus. You’ll likely have to find a good approach to read at that speed. Or find a suitable peripheral.

The correct tool might be an oscilloscope / logic analyzer.

But maybe have a look at some projects like “micro logic analyzer for RP2040”, seems it’s possible to sample digital signals up to 100MHz. There’s several projects like that out there. But I think the correct search term is “RP2040 logic analyzer”.

I don’t think a lot of people “sniff” some WS2812 bus. You can have a look at other project’s code to generate all sorts of effects.

Yes. Thx, I forgot about that. Especially the insides. You probably want to have a look inside, if the outside already looks that dirty. And the case / outside is probably fine with some light zapping. It went through ESD testing and certification. And should be able to deal with electrostatic discharge in some way. But the (individual) components on the inside are way more delicate and not made to withstand it.

Air blower, Q-Tip, Toothpick? And Isopropanol is the cleaning fluid of choice for electronics. I’ve also used my vacuum on Thinkpads before. But beware the vacuum. If anything is just tucked in, it’ll dislodge it and suck it in. And you get to spend the next 20min trying to find some tiny part in a pile of dust and hairballs.

Hmmh. I’m not entirely satisfied with any of them. Crowdsec is a bit too complex and involved for my taste. And oftentimes there’s no good application config floating around on the internet. Whereas fail2ban is old and eats up way too much resources for what it’s doing. And all of it is a bit too error-prone(?) As far as I remember I had several instances when I thought I had set it up correctly, but it didn’t match anything. Or it was looking for some logfile per default but my program wrote to the SystemD journal. So nowadays, I’ll double-check everything.

I just enable SSH, configure it to run on some non-standard port and enable Fail2ban… Make sure if use a certificate or secure password and also check if fail2ban is actually doing its job. Never had any issues with that setup.
