  Yeah, hopefully we can just buy cheap panels and put it together how we want. If that also opened up options for hackers to build entirely new display applications, or in new ways, that would be the dream.

  For this use case, using an alternative like Redlib, libreddit etc is probably a better experience than being able to access Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They won the Battle of Britain with invisible military tech, so it’s not that surprising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s the thing: televisions are complex and can be very difficult to repair, so what do you do when you can’t buy a dumb replacement anymore? I have the same issue with cars. I would like to replace ours with an EV, but they are a privacy nightmare whereas my car’s peak technology is FM radio.

  I was thinking earlier today about how much technology waste there is because old stuff is superseded so quickly. Maybe in future we will treasure the tech we had before it all went to shit.

  All I want is to be able to go back to previous acts. Basically to potter about discovering things after finishing the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I should wash my hair.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to try to remember what I did while I was spacing out so I don’t wash myself three times.

  Clearly it’s time to convert that WinXP partition into a virtual disk file and run it in a VM.

  In fact, a good pihole will speed things up.

  Hopefully, when it’s all broken and nobody’s getting their social security payments, maybe some of them will wake up.

  If Grok’s still being trained on the Internet, it’ll be self-reinforcing too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole point of a walled garden is to stop people (their wallets, really) leaving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also those of us who like some Apple products but do not buy them because of the walled garden. The EU might improve choices for us too.

  Agreed, they are and will be relentless. We’ll need to be comfortable ‘missing out’ on popular sites e.g., Lemmy instead of Reddit.

  And for parents, there are some good blocklists at oisd.nl including NSFW blocklists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, stay away from combustion exhaust. Of course there’s a scale: hydrogen = OK, wood = not good, burn pit = fucked up.

  That is acceptable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker in LXC vs VM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  1. I’m backing up LXCs, like I’d back up a VM. I don’t back up Docker containers, just their config and volumes.
  2. I don’t think anyone is doing that. We’re talking about installing Docker in LXC. One of the Proxmox rules you can live by is to not install software on the host. I don’t see the problem with installing Docker in an LXC for that reason.
  3. I’ll snapshot a container before running things like a dist-upgrade, or testing something that might break things. It’s very easy, so why not?
  4. I back up my LXC that has Docker installed because that way it’s easy to restore everything, including local volumes, to various points in time.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker in LXC vs VM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also create a single LXC for Docker and run multiple Docker containers on it. The VM argument is for security as it’s harder to escalate to the host from a VM than from an LXC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker in LXC vs VM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do that, Docker is stuck on that host. If it’s in an LXC it can move to another host. Plus, backing up and snapshotting are easier IMO.

  The amount of hours I’ve spent looking for non-plastic options for regular items is so stupid. I’m glad to have non-plastic options, so I can vote with my wallet.
