As a thought experiment: what would have happened if instead of a public health regulation approach, we dealt with restaurant safety by providing a few safe places and advocating everyone go there if they don’t want salmonella or e-coli poisoning. We’d have people ignorant going to the dangerous places, others misinformed or in denial, and a flood of misinformation that food poisoning is either “fine” or there’s no avoiding it anyway so best not to worry.

Thanks, I like it. The downside is that the VPS can see the content of my services, so it’s no good if you don’t trust the VPS provider, or if the content is too sensitive to allow that. I think it’s a good trade-off for my usage though. Performs well. One of the services I proxy is a rpi serving images downloaded from weather satellites. Connecting directly to the pi is super slow, but the proxy caching makes it 100% faster.

I’ve noticed that more and more, interesting new projects have nix, appimg, pkg, and docker releases. So on Debian, I need to rely on non-native packages or compiling more frequently than before. Not a big issue, but it’s a new awkwardness I wasn’t used to.

I use a $2 VPS in Quebec that proxies my home stuff over Tailscale. It uses Caddy and does the TLS encryption and caching. It has the providers DDOS protection, plus I have configured the firewall to have some further protection.

It could also just directly forward TLS packets over any sort of VPN if you didn’t trust the VPS provider or wanted to reduce cpu load.

Make a big flat pancake of batter and use a cookie-cutter?

The VPS is a $2 instance and very under powered, however it has a dedicated static IP and some Ddos protection. The basement computer is powerfully and capable of providing various services, but I don’t want any trouble with my home IP address. Tailscale let’s the VPS see the home computer securely.

I use both. Caddy on a VPS that reaches into my Tailscale network and proxies services hosted on a computer in my basement.

Seems like a weird contrast between the tone of the article and then mentioning the $175 million over 5 years being invested. What the heck does 35 million a year buy for an international sea port and arctic railway? A fresh coat of paint for a few of the warehouse buildings? Reporters should always put numbers like that in some sort of context. That’s their job.

Either DMZ on the first router, or bridge mode on the second.

There’s a difference between a wake word and general purpose speech recognition. A simple wake word can be done in simple hardware on the device, while general purpose speech processing either requires heavy, relatively constant CPU usage, or heavy network traffic to pipe the audio to a server for processing.

The canned answer is standard-fare in politics because the media has been so happy to play clips of any mis-spoken comment on a loop starting in maybe the 90s?

The problem here is that he should have a goddamned canned response ready for such a soft-ball question. "We don't tolerate that, I've told them if they are not for Canada, they are out!" (crowd cheers, he wins the election, yada yada). He can't even manage that low bar.

Okay, but I hate the reaction guy's reaction video even more than pp's response.

Your opinion is a hard-learned lesson here. I only recently figured that out. The Nextcloud "app store" is just too tempting.

I use both as well. They server different purposes. When my wife wants to take a quick scan of a paper document and archive it instantly, or have pictures auto-upload, or open and edit a document we worked on a year ago, all on her IPhone, the Nextcloud client works great and really has no competition in the iOS world. When I want to keep the files in my home directory, including some big, regularly changing files, instantly synced between computers and hosted VMs, Syncthing is amazing. I also add Syncthing shares as an external source in Nextcloud, so I can open those files via the web. As others have said, Nextcloud works fine, provided you don't start installing all sorts of "apps" you don't need -stick to the basics.

I have a hard time believing he's this dumb. His whole career was as a barking attack dog, and he can't bring himself to say anything particularly negative about Trump or Putin? That's his whole personality, and suddenly he's meek?

This has to go down as the biggest face-plant in Canadian political history. The guy who's entire political career has been as a barking attack dog, and all he had to do was come out swinging when a foreign psychopath started making threats against the literal existence of Canada. Not only that, he had a perfectly good example in Doug Ford of a conservative politician reaping huge rewards for doing exactly that (both in polling and an actual election!), and yet he manages to squander the biggest lead the Conservatives have ever had leading into an election? If the polls bear out on Monday, he should never be allowed to set foot in the Conservative party again. lol.

Any reference to "fleeing" Germany would be referencing the scientists that left before, or early in the war. While they were a minority, they did include some extremely notable examples like Einstein and the Polish scientists that figured out the Enigma machine. After the war, those left were given choices (orders) by the victors, and followed them as cowardly or enthusiastically as they did during the war.

Yes, that’s how I use it. It has access to a read only bind mount of my photo directory. The ML doesn’t write exif data to the images, just keeps that in its database.

The author of archive box makes a very strong case for the need for both decentralized and centralized archives like the internet archive: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-changelog-software-development-open-source/id341623264?i=1000678444105

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, until there is any actual examples of Canada banning images. Even in this case, it’s a loss of public funding rather than blocking. The internet archive is mostly privately funded.

Yes, the trouble with archiving is knowing what will be important in the future, rather than just popular now. We saved a lot of games from the 80’s through 2000’s through piracy, because they were popular to pass around, but we lost a most of the early web because no one thought it would disappear until the internet archive came along.
