- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 7 hours ago:
How does Bazzite fare when I want to do something a bit different. Install docker, Python, PHP, sqlite, etc. I’d normally just install them, but does this work for Bazzite and other atomic/immutable distros?

Not even going to try to hide it?

Hmm what was on the video?
- Comment on World Backup Day 4 days ago:
Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.

No, they removed that clause some 2 or 3 years back.
- Comment on Best Back Up Solution For Multiple Servers 6 days ago:
I use Borgmatic for my scheduled backups, and sync to Backblaze B2 with Rclone. Works great!
My data doesn’t compress as well as yours though.

How much does McDonald’s in Indonesia pay?
I doubt it’s enough to buy a 25000 euro house. And if you’re talking about McDonald’s in the US then I’m guessing not much is left over after food and rent in order to save the 25k.
- Comment on Napster to become a music-marketing metaverse firm after $207M acquisition 1 week ago:
Holy hell, Napster is a (legal) subscription music streaming service! Crazy times we live in.
- Comment on Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? 1 week ago:
Docker wants you to use volumes. That data is persistent too. They say volumes are much easier to backup. I disagree, I much prefer the bind mounts, especially when it comes to selective backups.
- Comment on Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? 1 week ago:
Yes that’s what I do too!
Overnight cron to stop containers, run borgmatic, then start the containers again.
- Comment on Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? 1 week ago:
I occasionally have had permissions issues but I tend to be able to fix them. Normally it’s just a matter of deleting the files on the host and letting the container create them, though it doesn’t always work it usually does.
- Comment on Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? 1 week ago:
I don’t know if this is naughty but I use bind mounts for everything, and docker compose to keep it all together.
You can map directories or even individual files to directories/files on the host computer.
Normally I make a directory for the service then map all volumes inside a ./data directory or something like that. But you could easily bind to different directories. For example for photoprism I mount my photos from a data drive for it to access, mount the main data/database to a directory that gets backed up, and mount the cache to a directory that doesn’t get backed up.

He wasn’t even a landlord, he was an employee that worked for the owner of the land (the Wikipedia page calls this a land agent).

This has some nice Daniel Tiger’s Tiger Cake vibes.
- Comment on Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives. 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what can be done at the free tier. There is a switch to turn on AI not blocking, and it breaks federation.
You can’t whitelist domains because federation could come from and domain. Maybe you could somehow whitelist /inbox for the ActivityPub communication, but I’m not sure how to do that in Cloudflare.
- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 2 weeks ago:
Yeah Bandcamp is great. They also do Bandcamp Friday events where all the revenue goes to the artist.
The problem is it’s really hard to find any mainstream bands on there. Presumably most of them sign away those rights when they get a label.
- Comment on Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives. 2 weeks ago:
In terms of Lemmy instances, if your instance is behind cloudflare and you turn on AI protection, federation breaks. So their tools are not very helpful for fighting the AI scraping.

Ah interesting, I didn’t realise Apple Music was available on Android.
For the life of me I cannot find an Apple Music website that lets you buy and download songs. I keep getting directed to download iTunes.
- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 2 weeks ago:
I know Apple has a music store. But if I use Android and Linux, how do I access it?
- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 2 weeks ago:
My favourite thing about Qobuz is they have a store where you pay money and they give you audio files, like in the old days. So you can pay for your music then keep it without an ongoing subscription.

I’m a purest. If you’re gonna euthanise me with a roller coaster, it needs to be exactly how the Great Creator intended.
- Comment on I can make my own decisions! 4 weeks ago:
It seems the coaster is supposed to be 500m high at it’s peak. The tallest coaster in the world is 112m high (with a planned one almost 200m high). Might need some engineers on our project if we are going to reach 500m.

That’s a good reason. I guess when I’m directly writing SQL the queries are point in time and not part of some enduring codebase.
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 4 weeks ago:
More specifically I meant when I am writing in the language.
I don’t write “SELECT * FROM users;”, I write “select * from users;”
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 4 weeks ago:
Not sure if joking but I meant the language not the acronym.

A person is unlikely to read it but they will be looking for trends. I hope you used lots of good keywords.
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 4 weeks ago:
Do people actually write SQL in all caps? Ever since I was a boy I’ve always written SQL (and HTML) in lower case.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 4 weeks ago:
Mozilla collects and shares some data with partners to keep Firefox commercially viable
How hard is it to be specific? People are concerned about this, can they not tell us the exact data they share and with whom, or is doing so going to make people more concerned so they are avoiding telling us?

Everyone knows you don’t upgrade to a X.0 release. Got to wait for X.1 at least.
