Do you have more info regarding that ThinkPad E16?
I’m mostly working with T series laptops and haven’t had the problem, but always good to know if or when an E16 shows up. - Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 4 days ago:
I think it’s quite a good question to be honest - you can keep your phone number private from all your signal contacts and has been able to since early 2024.

Having the motion sensor trigger saving local recordings is an idea that have gotten a positive dev response.
github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/…/289I can’t find any discussions about accessing recordings using ONVIF or the tinycam app and don’t have any cams running personally.
I am planning on using thingino with frigate nvr and network storage later on so thanks for sharing your experience!
- Comment on Open source strategy shooter Unvanquished gets a big new release with SDL3 1 week ago:
Yikes, the game is just as fast as quake 3 if not faster. I found myself relying on a shotgun to hit those pesky aliens because everyone runs fast. I played with bots but I think it would be a great game to startup at a LAN for some fun.

As showcased in our previous blog post Living in the future!, we finally moved to SDL3 and enabled native Wayland support in our downloadable builds of the game!
Oh, that is nice! Makes me curious to give it a test run.

What I like about running a hypervisor and true vms is that I can fool around with some vms in my server without risk of disrupting the others.
I run most of my dockers in one VM, my game servers in another and the Jellyfin instance on a third. That allows me to fool around with my portainer instance or game servers without disrupting Jellyfin and so on.
Part of it is that I’m more used to and comfortable in managing vms and their backup/recovery compared to LXCs and Dockers.

I’ve never tried Arch but my debian server with kvm/qemu/cockpit running mdraid1 and smb/nfs file sharing - works well enough and I enjoy the tinkering and setting it all up. I’m writing this from a virtual Fedora KDE workstation that I’ve setup vfio and pcie passthrough of my dgpu and a usb controller on (both connected to my monitor that acts as a usb hub).
A friend runs a Proxmox VE Community Edition with physical disk passthrough to a virtual Nextcloud server and that seems to work well too.
I guess my answer is no, I don’t look at UnRAID and think “fuck this shit I’m done”, I enjoy the tinkering that makes you frustrated.May I ask what kind of brick walls you’re hitting and what software you run on Arch that makes it so frustrating?
- Comment on The word "antihero" has really lost its meaning 1 week ago:
Shrek is a big mean ogre who wants to get rid of the fairy tale creatures dumped in his swamp and in order to get rid of them he accepts a deal that he first has to rescue a princess.
While I agree he definitely starts out as an antihero I’m not certain I agree that it’s the rough, uncouth or ugly characteristics that makes him one but rather what drives him (“I want my peaceful swamp back!” isn’t exactly an altruistic quest). But then, the definition of what a hero is isn’t exactly clear either which makes defining the antihero all the more difficult.
Scholars have not yet reached a consensus about how heroes should be defined, which hinders theory development, hypothesis- testing, and communication with various target audiences (e.g., Rozin, 2009).
In recent psychological literature, heroes have been described as persons who: are willing to risk and to make sacrifices for others (Becker & Eagly, 2004); resist external pressures of conformity (Zimbardo, 2007); protect and promote the well-being of future generations (McAdams, 2008); persist in the face of failure (Ko, 2007); demonstrate moral will, the desire to do good for others, and moral skill, the capacity to do the right thing in a particular situation (Schwartz, 2009).
These varied definitions evidence a lack of consistency in conceptualizing heroes within psychology. We argue that these definitions, at least at the individual level, lack sufficient rigor and coverage (Gregg, Hart, Sedikides, & Kumashiro, 2008).
[…]
To our knowledge, three studies adopted a free-response format to study conceptions of heroes.
In 1997, Gash and Conway asked 700 children in Ireland and the United States to identify the features of heroes. Participants named their hero and described their hero’s features. The 24 features were: active, beautiful, brilliant, brainy, brave, caring, confident, dresses well, famous, friendly, funny, good, gentle, good-looking, helpful, honest, important, kind, loving, loyal, rich, skillful, strong, and warrior.
Further, Sullivan and Venter (2010) asked American college students to identify one hero and to provide descriptive words to explain why. Participants were provided with an example: “Hero: George Washington, U.S. President; Reasons: Honest, intelligent, great leader, brave” (p. 475). The features that emerged were: intelligent, loving, religious, caring, leader, talented, hardworking, motivated, role-model, and creative. Demand features may be reflected in the results due to use of an example prior to the free-responses.
Allison and Goethals (2011) asked American college students to list the traits that they use to describe heroes. Then, another group of students sorted the traits and revealed eight trait clusters: smart, strong, selfless, caring, charismatic, resilient, reliable, and inspiring.- Zeroing in on Heroes: A Prototype Analysis of Hero Features - page 115

- Comment on Unifying the Fediverse 1 week ago:
Yeah, with the way the ActivityPub works right now I imagine the only working solution would be a UI Wrapper that allows you to login at all the different instances you wanna use and get a somewhat unified UI for them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it would end up about as unified as the Microsoft 365 admin centres though. (That is, not very).The other option I can think about is if someone designs a backend database that can be used to unify multiple services run by the same admin to allow the same login for all fediverse services hosted by that admin (f.e. mastodon.world, lemmy.world, friendica.world using the same user database and requiring only a single sign on) but that wouldn’t truly solve it either if we talk about a consistent UI.
- Comment on The word "antihero" has really lost its meaning 1 week ago:
I know you wanted to focus on comics, but if we step out of that genre for a second we’ll find that “a bad guy doing good things” is the original usage of the term, minted in 1714
For me personally I’ve always thought of the antihero as either someone who does good but for the wrong reasons or someone who strives for a goal that is good, but uses means that isn’t.
I’d say the Punisher fits the first definition well and Dexter Morgan more the second. - Comment on Security camera recommendations? 1 week ago:

sopuli.xyz/post/34092514?scrollToComments=true - Comment on Unifying the Fediverse 1 week ago:
I remember using Trillian to unify my ICQ, IRC and MSN Messenger chats into one application back in the days and once the fediverse matures I wouldn’t be surprised if an alternate front end that let’s you login at multiple fediverse services and interact with them all appears.
I mean it seems to be the default way things go - “GOG, Epic, Prime? No no, Heroic!”, “You’re not booking your hotel room at the hotels website are you? You get a better price by using <site that lists a ton of hotels> instead.” and so on. - Comment on How do you get over a really good manga or webcomic you've read that you want to read more of but you've caught up with all the current updates? 1 week ago:

Find a VPS Service that allows you to handle your own rdns and then set it up as a reverse proxy for your e-cloud server.
Or skip the reverse proxy and use the VPS for your e-cloud server. - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I used to say that if someone went through Naruto and removed all the shitty fillers and cut out some of the endless repetitions that made every fight take three to four episodes it’d be much better.
I enjoyed the manga more. - Comment on Self hosted family archive 2 weeks ago:
Which ones have you looked at?
First hit on my search was www.bookstackapp.com which seems to be a nice FOSS wiki with MIT licensing.
- Comment on Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social web 2 weeks ago:
I honestly would’ve preferred a referral program where you could get a pre-configured vps at your chosen vps provider (where the end user can choose from vps providers such as Hetzner, Glesys and so on), and that the referrer (mastodon, friendica, piefed, lemmy or mbin) gets a small cut out of every monthly payment.
Though I’m not sure how to make that an intriguing deal for the vps providers.Centralizing the decentralized web at one provider sounds counter productive.

- Comment on FOSS App to Edit videos ? 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t tried it myself but there’s f-droid.org/…/io.github.devhyper.openvideoeditor/
Open Video Editor lets you edit your videos. It supports HDR and allows to apply filters. With this app you also can trim, scale, and rotate your videos or even grayscale them. It is also possible to use this app to extract audio from a video, to convert a HDR video to SDR, or to convert it to a different format.
- Comment on Docker dashboards: choice overload 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t fulfil all your use cases by far but cockpit has an application for docker that has real time monitoring of CPU and memory and some simple management. It is MIT licensed and still very bare bones so it could be a quicker way than starting from scratch.

I find setting up an openvpn server with self-signed certificates + username and password login works well. You can even run it on tcp/443 instead of tcp/1194 if you want to make it less likely to be blocked.
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
Unless you wanna expose services to others my recommendation is always to hide your services behind a vpn connection.
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
I prefer running true vms too, but it is resource intensive.
Playing with lxcs and docker could allow one to run more services on a little beelink. - Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
A VM is properly isolated and has it’s own OS and kernel. This improves security at the cost of overhead.
If you are starved for hardware resources then running lxcs instead of vms could give you more bang for the buck. - Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
I remember trying both back when my server was new but missing something in dockge, can’t remember what right now.
- Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t use RAID on USB.
If you only got 2x m.2 slots then I would probably prioritize disk space over RAID1 and ensure you got a backup up and running. There are m.2 to sata adapters but your Bee-link doesn’t have a suitable psu for that. - Comment on Getting Started with Proxmox 4 weeks ago:
I would start with one VM running portainer and once that is up and running I would recommend learning how to backup and restore the VM. If you have enough disks I would look into ZFS RAID 1 for redundancy.
pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux
Learning the redundancy and backup systems before having too many services active allows you to screw up and redo. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
