  JKR can’t write a consistent world that makes sense either.

  I think it is the shine. Everything is to smooth including the plants in the foreground

  Yeah when they made witcher 1 they didnt think it would be part of a series and realy didnt see it as a canon addition to the books story.

  It makes the most sense to view the story on its own without the existence of Ciri.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how to set up a remote managed node for mom⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  wg-quick creates a systemd service for each wireguard config you have. So if you set up a tunel called wg0, you should be able to run ‘sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0’ This will make your tunnel connect on every boot. I have the same setup on my proxmox, so i can reach certain services of my homelab proxied through a root server (the other end of the wireguard tunnel)

  I am not sure drawing a comparison between your unemployment and the reign of the Nazis is the best move

  Its also probably fairly easy to become an aristocrat if you are immortal. You start as a mercenary to earn money, then you win a decisive battle for your lord and he gives you a noble title and lands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin on rootles docker access to encrypted drive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Decryption is not related to root permission.

  If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.

  If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.

  Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally, Linux Servers are best administered from a command line. At least in the beginning to set everything up. In turn they are faster on lower hardware as they dont even have a graphical desktop at all so need less resources. You could of course install a windows server OS. They can be fully administered through Remote Desktop and a GUI.

  There are multiple projects to make self hosting more accessible (like casaOS). They automate many steps of the setup and then offer you a webUI for further steps. Maybe have a look here github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I discover the Pixelfed content that is out there when so many big instances block exploration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Off topic, but how do you do that on Lemmy? In jerboa there is no option (that I know off) to browse another instance. Do you open your home instance in one browser tab and the one you want to explore in another and once you find a community you like you switch to the other tab and subscribe to it there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to calculate the cipher on paper everything that works on binary will be a huge overhead and basically require you to write stuff down for the calculations. So you need to burn sheets of paper for every en/decryption. So no XOR or anything.

  I would go for a stream-caesar-cipher. Find a mathematical formula that you can calculate in your head and that gives you a numbers between 1-35 (or something similar depending on how many different characters you need). The formula must be pseudo random so f(x)=5, f(x+1)=1, f(x+2)=28, … and not loop for a looooong time. Calculate a new value FOR EVERY LETTER OF YOUR TEXT!!! and use that as your Caesar cipher for that letter only (x is the position of the character in the text)

  You need to keep track which letter in your cipher text was encoded with which x (write the x of the first letter of each page down) and keep the formula a secret. Never ever under any circumstance reuse an x. So you need to keep x going for every page/message and can’t restart at 1 each time.

  If x becomes to large and the calculations to complicated, its better to change the formula than to restart x. Never ever ever ever reuse the same cipher because then you get all the drawbacks of Caesar ciphers (probability of letters, length of words (position of the space character) etc).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you run backups on your system?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It becomes a whole different thing when you yourself are a creator of any kind. Sure you can retorrent TBs of movies. But you can’t retake that video from 3 years ago. I have about 2 TB of photos I took. I classify that as media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the southern hemisphere get colder farther from the pole? Why?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, I’ll look into this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the southern hemisphere get colder farther from the pole? Why?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Europe is a lot warmer than it should be because of the gulf stream that brings warm water from the equator. If you look at the same latitute in north america/Asia the climate will be a lot cooler there.

  South america on the other hand is cooler than it should be simply by latitude because of the humbold current and the Antarctic ocean.

  So you are comparing the warmest point with the coldest one at the same latitude (mirrored on the southern hemisphere)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Subway lovers posted⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really. There was a lawsuit that claimed they contain no tuna. A lab found no tuna DNA, a different lab did. The lawsuit shifted to “does not contain only this type if tuna”.

  Also highly processed food (especially after it was cooked) does not contain any DNA that is identifiable.

  What actually is the “problem”? I see articles talking about trolls and anti-woke but I dont find anything why people are mad.

  They made a character younger… shouldn’t that be what trolls want? Dont they normally complain when female characters are to old?
