  • A lemmy instance hosted behind Tailscale would be unable to federate, no?

  • I'm not the person you replied to, but they say in their comment they use Get RSS Feed URL.

  • Here's a short blog post that summarizes how to use Full-Text RSS with FreshRSS. It's a bit of a pain to add new feeds but it makes for a smooth experience afterwards.

    Otherwise, you could always just use RSS clients that have the ability to fetch full articles, Read You on Android and Fluent Reader on desktop both can do this.

  • I really don't understand why his base tolerates it.

    Because the relationship between him and his "base" isn't one between citizens and politician, it's a literally a cult following their leader.

  • I feel like TV is inherently a shit medium for news.

    Get ready for their radio and print journalism to go down the shitter as well when PP defunds the CBC 🫠

  • We got a ton of snow today and for some reason my boss decided not to close the café I work at. We served fewer customers today (from 7:30 to 16:30) than we'd serve in an hour on a typical day.

    All day the staff kept looking at him like "None of us wanted to come in and you're just bleeding money, why are we doing this"

  • That's really odd, I bring up piracy in conversation decently often (usually if I'm talking about a show and someone asks me if that's on Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Hulu or whatever and I have to tell them I haven't a clue)

    The reaction had never been judgement, more so curiosity about how I go about my piracy.

    Although I guess that's really more of an indication of the poor, anti-capitalist leftist types I tend to associate with than anything else :P

  • I feel like running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg would probably fix that.

    Disclaimer: I mostly have no idea what I'm talking about.

  • It depends on if you want to access it from anywhere (or give others access), or if you're only accessing your server from specific devices.

    Since I only ever access my server from my phone or my desktop, I use Wireguard via wg-easy. You set it up as a docker container on your server and it gives you a neat web UI (defaults to port 51821) from which to add Wireguard clients. Once connected through Wireguard, you can access your services as if you're on the server's local network.

    Note, you'll of course have to open up a port for Wireguard on your router for this to work, the default being 51820.

  • No, it’s not like stealing a physical item from a store.

    I'd argue stealing physical items from massive corporations is also morally acceptable. If you shoplift from a small mom & pop store, you're actively hurting your community, however, if you shoplift from Wal-Mart, you're actively hurting an entity which is hurting your community, therefore helping your community.

  • The difference is, if the app were open-source someone could continue developing it.

    If it's proprietary, you're shit out of luck.

  • There's many things I dislike about how Mozilla operates, they are however completely outweighed by the massive list of things I dislike about Google.

    Seeing as the only realistic options for browsers use either Blink or Gecko as their engine, I'd much rather use Mozilla's offering than contribute (even if ever so slightly) to Google's monopolizing of the web.

  • though if a sane Arch-based alternative arises (think Manjaro done right)

    If ever you get the Arch itch, check out EndeavourOS. It's basically vanilla Arch but with a GUI installer and basic defaults/programs preconfigured. They use the main Arch repos, so no weirdness with AUR stuff like in Manjaro.

  • I really enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing!

  • The smart crib seems particularly dystopian to me. We don't even need to wait for children to develop enough fine-motor functions to make use of smartphones or tablets, we can start collecting data on them before they even utter their first word!

    How long before the smart cribs have ParentAI attached to them? Let the computer raise your child!

  • I can't for the life of me understand why the NDP and the Greens don't team up and aggressively campaign for electoral reform.

  • I don't know why, but I've been in a particularly good mood this week. My boss is out of town, which definitely helps, and Christmas went relatively okay which is nothing short of a miracle (only one person had a breakdown, and it was at the very end, and it wasn't even me!*)

    In any case, I'm glad to be in better spirits after a really rough November and December, seasonal depression hit hard this year.

    *For anyone curious (and because I feel like oversharing for once); it was my mom after I called her out on her complete lack of effort to gender me correctly. It was an accumulation of various other things going on in her life that triggered the breakdown; her mom's health is rapidly deteriorating and she's dealing with my very depressed younger brother who still lives at home. She took it a bit rough on the spot, but afterwards asked me to send her resources to learn more, she's been listening to a few podcasts hosted by queer people, and she says she looks forward to talking to me more in depth about gender. I'm lucky to have decent parents.

  • How own wife left him

    Well it'd be weird if someone else's wife left him, no?

  • Woah cool, thanks for the heads up on Madari! I've been hoping for something like this for ages.
