- Comment on German police mistakenly shoot soldier on training exercise 6 days ago:
According to German daily Bild, the military police fired practice ammunition at the arriving police officers, believing this was part of the military exercise.
Seems justified for the cop to shoot back, but why didn’t they know about the exercises?
- Comment on Help imaging a IDE drive 1 week ago:
Boot a clonezilla or Linux CD, don’t use your windows install.
- Comment on So admins, hows your instances looking today? 1 week ago:
I don’t think any lemmy instances can afford to run on the big clouds.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
Why would you have to wash your face before eating? Or brush your teeth? You can do it after.
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 3 weeks ago:
We just delete them from minio (our object storage)
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 3 weeks ago:
We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.
We turned on cloudflare’s CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.
- Comment on Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them? 4 weeks ago:
I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don’t want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.
Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc
- Comment on Yes, That Great-Looking 'Star Trek: Voyager' Game Will Let You Spare Tuvix 4 weeks ago:
They stored people in quark’s holosuites in that ds9 episode
- Comment on Steady 5 weeks ago:
They say they’re holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.
They didn’t say they were holding steady at ideal levels.
- Comment on What happened with Sublinks? 5 weeks ago:
Everyone is ok with Python. It’s a reasonable choice that’s well known, well understood and doesn’t have a lot of negatives.
I’ve never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun.
- Comment on What happened with Sublinks? 5 weeks ago:
I have no knowledge, but would guess:
- building an app is harder than people think
- an opinionated community doesn’t generally help
- who wants to build a web app in Java?!
- Comment on Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration 1 month ago:
FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.
- Comment on What is there to know about magnetic storage mediums? 1 month ago:
This guy made his own floppy and managed to write / read from it. It’s an interesting watch.
- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 1 month ago:
I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.
Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I’ve deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear around the world, the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.
- Comment on Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month 1 month ago:
I don’t think signal data is included in system backups unless your device is rooted. You’d have to go into signal and back it up explicitly.
I just turned this feature on.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x09 "Terrarium" 1 month ago:
First good episode of the season IMHO.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" 2 months ago:
Solid ep, but I thought the whole phone line thing was stupid.
I like that they have fun with the show, but I wish they would do it less frequently. It feels too silly at times.

- Comment on Budget small (ish) case for a nas. 2 months ago:
Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.
- Comment on Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds 3 months ago:
Pretty clickbait title to compare a lab speed to average internet. I’m sure it’s several million times faster than average Japanese internet too.
- Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks 3 months ago:
Most of the stuff people print, is crap that will go in the garbage in a week. I get it, I went through that phase when I got my printer too.
If you learn how to design your own stuff, suddenly it becomes a really useful tool.
- Comment on tchncs.de is powered by donations 3 months ago:
cosocial.ca/about does this for their mastodon, it’s an interest concept and one I think worth considering.
- Comment on phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs 3 months ago:
I’d print it on the side, will make it stronger anyways. Less likely to lose layer adhesion

- Comment on Monitoring network devices 4 months ago:
Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.
Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.
- Comment on Be aware that buying electrical items from Ali Express might not be too clever. 4 months ago:
Oddly this doesn’t deter me at all, but I don’t buy mains connected components off aliexpress.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 4 months ago:
That’s called plastic surgery, rather than cosmetic. Cosmetic is specifically to improve your appearance. Plastics include a lot of reconstructive work.
