- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #15 10 hours ago:
Ghost is what we use (self-hosted) and it supports ActivityPub along side Lemmy (activitypub.ghost.org). I dont believe it yet supports full-article posting, only links, though.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 13 hours ago:
If you use ZFS this becomes easy, because you can do incremental backups at the block level.
I have my home lab server and do snapshots and sends to a server at my fathers house. Then I also have an external drive that I snapshot to as well.
- Comment on Mazda false DMCA takedown notice Home Assistant App 13 hours ago:
Misleading title, though. Not Home Assistant, but a Home Assistant Integration.
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 15 hours ago:
Yup. Or perhaps pay into features, like full-page content inside the post. I.e. offset the revenue of the click. Oddly enough, that model would replace ads, too.
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 20 hours ago:
Because zero-click internet kills the revenue model. It’s unfortunate, but understandable until something better comes along.
Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that’s distributed by percentage.

I hear this one a lot, but the purpose of the “move fast and break things” methodology is to make things better. In some cases, that does work, and it’s usually applied with benefit in mind.
Shock and awe might be more appropriate. Do as many things as possible to stun the population, so only the dedicated will push back.
- Comment on Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source 2 days ago:
Yup, my servers just run bare Debian and ZFS and I have backup scripts that parse the docker compose files for how often to run and keep backups.

- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 3 days ago:
Yea, I guess because they are “selling” vs being compensated for? If the US govt dictates terms to that business under homeland security, GDPR probably wouldn’t matter, but I can only assume since it’s a sale, that’s not the case.
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 4 days ago:
Assuming the data doesn’t include international departures or arrivals (only their domestic counterparts), would GDPR even apply?

The original quote:
In an email to The Post, his father, Errol, said Musk and his younger brother were “interested in motorbikes, computers, basketball and a little about girls. They were not into political nonsense, and we lived in a very well-run, law-abiding country with virtually no crime at all. Actually no crime. We had several black servants who were their friends.”

Probably better to think of in Wh since I’ll be running 24v. About 98Wh of energy to boil, assume *~1.2 for loss so ~118Wh total. Thats ~5Ah at 24V, or ~10Ah at 12V.
I’ll be running pretty large bank, too, so not to concerned on it 😉

- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 6 days ago:
No more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah.
Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 6 days ago:
Yea, big steamer vs iron fan here. This will be for a van. A while back we aquired a mini van and through the magic of DIY it now has no back seats, a couch+bed, fold up kitchen and running water. We are very outdoorsy and like cheap travel, so we are doing some planning for potential next/future stage of life in something that could replace structural living 😉
- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 1 week ago:
Computer science is going to be q commodity job. Prediction of three tiers:
- Tier 1: No education requirement. I write code and build things. Large percentage of developers.
- Tier 3: Science based, high education working on algorithms, physics, and other elements requiring an understanding of matters in deeper education
- Tier 2: Right in between 1 and 3, may require formal education, but definitely experience. Will understand applications of high science, and can both program well and manage teams. Will replace current nontechnical middle management, because who needs that when the market is flooded
We’ve been headed this way for years, AI is just speeding it up.

I’ll be choosing an inverter soon. In the US, but considering a 240v just for the kettle.

- Comment on Here's the scoop 1 week ago:
Yup. On Amazon, always do three things:
- Sort reviews by most recent, go to the end, and make sure the reviews are for the same product snd it wasn’t switched (report it if so)
- Search reviews for the brand name, skip AI garbage and see how many people say it or are Vine reviews
- Read filtered on critical reviews
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 1 week ago:
I run mine in Docker. Three containers: PiHole which resolves using Unbound, and a VPN container for Unbound.
That being said, if you routinely restart that device, or it crashes because of something else you are doing, it gets annoying real quick.
A cheap mini-PC running a low wattage n150 is a good thing to have for essential services in docker.

- Comment on The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes | CNN Business 1 week ago:
Oh I do, it’s where I live. At current costs its about $1.6m(1) per mile, so yea, agreed, probably not much. Will have to check back in 5 years after we see the costs to operate and lawsuits from accidents 😆

Probably could have built a lot of rail for the cost of R&D on self-driving semis…
