- Comment on What do you create? 2 days ago:
Nothing near that impressive. I don’t make the fancy sand, I just move electrons around with fancy sand that someone else made, aka programming.

Nah, there’s no real meaning to my username. It’s just some random letters that are vaguely pronounceable.
- Comment on What do you create? 2 days ago:
Yeah, this one. I just meant programming.
- Comment on What do you create? 2 days ago:
I organize electrons in ways that make fancy sand organize more electrons.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer? 2 days ago:
I’d personally look for a used Prusa i3 MK3[S[+]]. Part of that is personal bias, it’s what I still print with (specifically the MK3S variant, I haven’t bothered to upgrade it to +), but in all the years I’ve had it it’s been an absolute workhorse and has very much thrived on the copious amount of neglect I’ve given it. The only thing I’ve ever done to it is install firmware updates and occasionally smear some grease on the smooth rods with a finger. Still, every time I print with it, it just works.
Prusa just announced a new printer so there might be a little wave of them being put up for sale.
- Comment on which dynamic dns hoster? 9 months ago:
IMO, the best free option is afraid.org. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.
- Comment on Why docker 10 months ago:
Less commercial interest means only hobby level development
Podman is developed by RedHat: github.com/containers/podman/graphs/contributors
- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 11 months ago:
IMO, yes. Docker (or at least OCI containers) aren’t going anywhere. Though one big warning to start with, at a sysadmin, you’re going to be absolutely aghast at the security practices that most docker tutorials suggest. Just know that it’s really not that hard to do things right (for the most part[0]).
I personally suggest using rootless podman with docker-compose via the podman-system-service.
Podman re-implements the docker cli using the system namespacing (etc.) features directly instead of through a daemon that runs as root. (You can run the docker daemon rootless, but it clearly wasn’t designed for it and it just creates way more headaches.) The Podman System Service re-implements the docker daemon’s UDS API which allows real Docker Compose to run without the docker-daemon.
[0] If anyone can tell me how to set SELinux labels such that both a container and a samba server can have access, I could fix my last remaining major headache.
- Comment on Doesn't each community being local to each instance split the audience? 11 months ago:
That’s a problem anywhere with user generated content & user defined communities. The usual example is that when BOTW came out there were at least half a dozen subreddits created and more than one survived, so there were two that were both really popular at the same time and that’s in addiction to multiple Zelda and multiple Nintendo subs that might all get the same links/posts.
- Comment on What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? 11 months ago:
Its a non-powered version of a hot shoe, both of which are the thing you use to mount an external flash that’s on the top of a lot of (all?) full sized cameras.
- Comment on What is the thing that resembles a camera shoe under the handset holder found on telephones with a handset used for? 11 months ago:
It’s for a hook to keep the handset on when the phone is mounted flat on a wall. It can usually be slid/folded down or removed when its not need.

If you have any straight straws, you might want to hold them up to the light. They get pretty grody on the inside.
- Comment on Setting up a Self-Hosted Forgejo Actions Runner 1 year ago:
I tried to get this setup myself awhile ago, but this part is a deal breaker for me:
A volume mounting
/var/run/docker.sockfrom the host into the container so containers can be spawned for running workflowsDoes anyone know of a way to get this setup without giving basically full root access to my system? Ideally with rootless podman containers. I can’t actually remember what the issue was exactly when I was trying to do that.
- Comment on Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ? 1 year ago:
Defense in depth. If something escapes the container it’s limited to only what’s under that user and not the whole system. Having access to the whole system makes it easier for malware to hide itself.
- Comment on Docker vs Podman, which one to choose for a beginner and why ? 1 year ago:
If your distro offers it, rootless podman + podman system service is the best setup, IMO. That will give you a
dockercommand that is 1-to-1 compatible with docker and lets you use tools like docker-compose that expect a docker service socket. Then you can just follow tutorials that only explain things for docker. - Submitted 1 year ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 20 comments
- Comment on Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better? 1 year ago:
Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn’t no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn’t come on any of the test days.
I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they’re not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.

Your thoughts.
(And to a lesser extent your actions, but that gets tougher to define since external factors will apply more there.)
- Comment on In the U.S., what exactly are we supposed to do when an ambulance, with its sirens on, approaches from behind? 1 year ago:
The exact laws vary by state, but it’s always “get the fuck out the way, as quickly as you can while being as predictable as possible.”
I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to not stop (if that’s what you meant), but as far as I know, you’re not required to stop if you’re out of the way and not preventing anyone else from getting out if the way.
- Comment on Just finished wiring the garage to the house - and find that the wire is damaged! Now what? 1 year ago:
I had an AMD Phenom-II era motherboard that claimed it would be able to do that. OP, you might be able to find an old NIC/mobo that could do this for cheap.

- Comment on Communication protocol suggestion for peer-to-peer device network? 1 year ago:
MQTT isn’t peer-to-peer, it requires a centralized broker that all devices connect to.
If OP were looking at network protocols, CoAP would be the right option, but it looks like they don’t even want to bother with IP.
- Comment on What happened to dataterm.digital? 1 year ago:
Oh, right, this is the fediverse. (This is a Lemmy comment, FYI.)
@lucy@corteximplant.com, whatever happened to dataterm.digital? Is it ever coming back?
- Comment on What happened to dataterm.digital? 1 year ago:
This is their meta site: obeythesystem.com It doesn’t seem to list it. Neither does their network status page: biomonitor.cyberwa.re/status/network
I don’t know anything, but that seems to imply to me that it’s probably not coming back.
- Comment on Web Based Static Site Generator? 1 year ago:
Ah, nice. I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!
Though, I think the git forge ‘backend’ + “Static CMS” frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I’m going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.
- Comment on Web Based Static Site Generator? 1 year ago:
I’d personally like to not depend on infra like github, but I hadn’t considered just using the web UI of a code forge. That’s a good idea, I’m going to try that and see if I like it, thanks!
(Still interested in other suggestions if others know of things that are more fit for purpose, tho.)
- Comment on Web Based Static Site Generator? 1 year ago:
Do you just use the gitea web editor for that? (I assume it has one right?) Does it provide a nice markdown-aware editor?
