One of the things I heard Musk say was that it shouldn’t be possible for a non-profit to just be converted into for-profit. Have to agree with him on that.
- Comment on big list of selfhosted chat apps to meet all your friends on a real "server" 1 day ago:
I’m in the process of getting this going in my lab. I appreciate these efforts to find alternatives.
That being said, can I get some opinions so I can pare down the list?
Would be great to have E2EE and audio. Video bonus. I don’t think I’ve got much in the way of preferences beyond that.
My latest leaning is hosting the Matrix protocol.
Also the only friends I have that would be willing to move off the easy corporate software are tech literate, so I have the option to distribute VPN confs and the like. Has anyone hosted chat over their own VPN, or does that just become a mess because STUN/TURN needs to be “free”?
(Sorry I’m still learning a lot here)

Interac isn’t too bad right? I agree with you that sort of service should be public, but I heard (years ago) that Interac is non-profit.

Not sure if this will help you in your personal life, but I’ve been in your position and I’ve found I can be a “translator” in the workplace. You should be a PM of developers or something!

No mobile app…at least not iOS. Did you find one for Android?
I just place a bookmark to the web interface on my home screen to trick me into the “app feel”.
- Comment on Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? 6 days ago:
I don’t think you should switch away from Immich, this was just an “embedded in Nextcloud” suggestion. Sometimes nice to quickly glance at my photo library from the mobile app, esp if confirming uploads went through.
I’ve never experienced that bug, glad you were backed up. Also got HEIC working, I think it involved adding a line to the PreviewGenerator php conf.

Just curious, did you end up removing enough material to observe any mold growth? I’m always wondering how bad these things actually get behind the scenes.
- Comment on Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? 6 days ago:
Memories has come a long way.
I don’t think it has the specific features you requested, sorry. But I like it as something that’s baked into my Nextcloud container (esp. as I haven’t had the time to set up Immich yet).

Pfft that’s why you’re supposed to smoke after sex.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 1 week ago:
Let’s try not to fight over the false dichotomy a headline is designed to produce.
It’s bad if we have no choice but to work like peasants to survive.
It’s good if you enjoy working with your hands and probably most people would benefit from doing that more, even if you don’t want to do so full time.
The important takeaway from the article is “Fuck that guy”

So great, signed your guestbook!
Random question, why is index.html just a pointer to home.html?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I don’t disagree that people venting about F can get overzealous. I still think there’s a significant improvement with C though. Not saying it’ll make American scientists better, I believe you that they do fine with it. But that’s also contingent on the rest of the units being imperial.
I often see conversion constants with the unit conversion baked into them, so you lose info on what was the empirically derived constant and what’s just there to allow you to multiply temperature in F against other thermo quantities that rely on relation back to Kelvin.

I think I see what you’re getting at, but you could just memorize 40, 35, or even 30 as “watch out, pretty close to human body temperature”. Three anchors in the scale beats two.

- Comment on Where to start with backups? 3 weeks ago:
That’s impressive, I’ll have to give borg a go. Thanks for pulling that up.
I didn’t know it worked like that, so I was thinking file types matter. Like diff (often used with git) has magic based on code-like text files but wouldn’t be efficient at incrementally backing up an encrypted file.
I’m curious how they handle “frame shift” like if a file has a few bytes added in the front, middle, or end. I guess the first time a file appears, Borg indexes the chunks or something.

- Comment on Where to start with backups? 3 weeks ago:
Right makes sense. I’ve been using rdiff-backup for that. I should compare how the two perform. Do you get the impression borg is good at getting the diffs of a lot of different file types?
- Comment on Where to start with backups? 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t rsync do incremental? I keep hearing about borg but not sure I want to commit to learning a new app

Even if the claim is true, it does make you think. How do we trust historical records as we move into the future? The tech to fake things is advancing. Is a counteracting tech available, or is this a lopsided problem?
