  Just go for the shortest domains, short domain names carry a premium. Or rip through /usr/share/dict/words. Or both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to setup my own home server & make it available to anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can host most basic web apps off a raspberry pi. You just need to:

  1. connect your device to the internet
  2. start your web application
  3. set up port forwarding on your router to forward the port your application is being hosted on
  4. get a domain name
  5. configure ddns
  6. Maybe get some SSL certs
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a big fan of unraid but I will admit it’s overkill for a simple media server.

  A synology NAS should be plenty powerful enough for most streaming needs so long as you’re willing to let your media transcode first and you’re not streaming to too many devices at once.

  I use my unraid NAS to run sonar/radarr/readarr/prowlarr, stable diffusion, myjdownloader, a few vms and at one point even my lemmy instance. But honestly aside from stable diffusion and the VMs a synology NAS should have enough power to run a handful of other apps in addition to plex/jellyfin

  This is confusing. Maybe OP has a point that we should just be forthright about whats going on so people can make informed decisions.

  My initial reaction is that you shouldn’t be sticking your neck out for people you only know in a professional sense.

  My second reaction is that as a community if you receive reports of sexual assault and do not act on them in some way you are sending a message that your community is not a safe space for people who have been sexually assaulted.

  And I’m still hung up on how you are able to ostracize the accused and not the accuser? Is the accusation coming from outside the community?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden topics of hacker communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The latter is fairly rare to happen to accusers, but it’s expected for the accused.

  That’s not true. Kids have been disowned by their families for reporting SA. Ostracization is a real possibility for victims and it’s a very large part of causes rapes to go unreported. Nobody wants to be friends with the person who makes false allegations.

  Not to mention you’re leaving out all the people who will see someone actually convicted and decide not to ostracize the guilty person because “akchually he’s a good guy”.

  The reality is that it is insanely hard to fence-sit on I don’t believe the accusation but I don’t think the accuser is lying either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden topics of hacker communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  or if we do take action (the minimum action you seem to be advocating for is ostracism) against the accused

  Either way someone’s getting ostracized. People who don’t ostracize the accused are going to ostracize the accuser.

  considering they later conclude that progressive speech is allowed you must be right. I was thrown off because in real life the “majority-conforming” opinion is “I do not care what is in your pants”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The forbidden topics of hacker communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Any speech which suggests that the listener may find themselves subject to a non-majority-conforming person in a position of power, or even that of a peer, will have crossed the line; one must speak as a victim seeking the pity and grace of your superiors to be permitted space to air your grievances.

  What possible grievance do you have with intersex people?

  Do people think before they say things anymore or is it just a race to put as many words on the paper as you can?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Both are heavy targets of spamming and take considerable effort to maintain

  If you know an artist who works 40 hours a week at a minimum wage job and then paints for 40 hours a week in their free time then you know an artist that works 80 hours a week

  i mean, how else do you build new skills or gain familiarity without stuff you don’t use at work?

  Woodshedding. I can not learn as fast if I’m weighed down by the idea that every piece of code I check-in needs to be production ready.
