it'll still cause downtime, and they'll probably have a hard time restoring from backup for the first few times it happens, if not for other reason then stress. especially when it updates the wrong moment, or wrong day.

they will leave vulnerable, un-updated containers exposed to the web

that's the point. Services shouldn't be exposed to the web, unless the person really knows what they are doing, took the precautions, and applies updates soon after release.

exposing it to the VPN and to tge LAN should be plenty for most. there's still a risk, but much lower

"backups with Syncthing"

Consider warning the reader that it will not be obvious if backups have stopped, or if a sync folder on the backup pc is in an inconsistent state because of it, as errors are only shown on the web interface or third party tools

that's horrible and funny at the same time.

I will assume they fixed that vuln later

that's probably way too much for any sane Python algorithm. if they can't run it, how do they even know how much is needed?

Probably they should only make a prototype in Python, and then reimplement it in a compiled language. it should reduce the resource usage massively

also competent assholes are less likely to change the world for the better

yeah but it turns out a lot of my lemm.ee links are not actually to content that's originating from there, but lemm.ee-view links for which if I search, there's no result.

Fortunately I also have the title and image permanently loaded for these links, so I can find them with some manual work

nézzenek oda! magyarok az interneten! :)

ok, but where do you discharge that static electricity to? where does it go? or is it more about "dispersing it" so that both you and the case and everything inside have roughly the same amount?

When you shock yourself on a doorknob, notice how you don't get shocked again?

yeah true, probably it is about dispersing it. didn't really think about this much before

but if your interest is to keep the US out of influence, ofc they would do it.

this video just makes 0 sense. they didn't "disable" GPS and they most probably didn't just start using beidou today

but is it enough that way to touch the case frequently? I thought you would need to touch it constantly while touching things inside

how do you know it's working if you can't connect?

if you run the server on your computer, did you set up the port forwarding? does it work if you just connect to localhost, or the local ip of that computer?

Make sure you're grounding yourself by touching the metal case frequently.

the case will only ground you until you disconnect the power, which you probably should do before doing things in there. for your safety, and for when a screw falls to the wrong place

Edit: 🤔 what happens if I try to subscript a superscripted emoji?^

this:

Never thought of ^{super/subscripting_an_emoji_😎_~👽~}

but spaces break the superscript so you have to use something else for it

I guess this way people often just think that higher number is better, even if only subconsciously, and people will more often by a newer phone. but single increments like with the generation don't have the same effect if the numbers are already large, and if they would use the release year maybe that wouldn't have this effect on sales because people know it's just the year. and a change from 2024 to 2025 does not seem to be so big as from 5 to 6

It's mostly not because of instance shutdown though. especially on lemmy, because lots of posts are readable elsewhere after shutdown.

it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don't have the capacity to comply.

this also applies to lemmy, but strictly tech help forums too.

It's not all the lemm.ee posts, just a significant amount of them.

also in the meantime I realized my hundreds of lemm.ee links are not actually links to lemm.ee hosted posts, but just links to the lemm.ee view of them. I was just very often copying the wrong link that still worked, but wasn't the definitive one

invidious still works, but it's a constant battle

hmm that's interesting because I did not have a lemm.ee account! :D just 3 tons of links to it.

edit: I misunderstood it, no I didn't have an account there

also in the meantime I did some research. it turns out I was probably remembering the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher

it can look up posts by their activitypub id, which is the de-facto ID of a post, that is same across all instances. this ID is the url of the content on the original instance. so, the following could be an activitypub id, if the post was actually created on lemm.ee: https://lemm.ee/post/64477597

to look up a post by this, the userscript uses the /api/v3/resolve_object API endpoint.
it searches your local instance, and if you are authenticated it also queries the host in the url, lemm.ee in this example. but of course this remote query does not work anymore.

now here comes the twist. I know I always read lemmy through sh.itjust.works, so whatever I saved should be known by this server. and the link that I save, often does not point to the origin instance, because clients work that way.
so it seems 2 lemm.ee links that I tried to look up were not actually posted there, because bmy server does not know a post that has this ap id, I just somehow got a link that points to the lemm.ee version of that post or comment........

Fortunately the messaging app I misuse for link collection always loads the title and image of the webpage, so by some manual work I should be able to find the actual links to each of them.

speaking of that, there was a userscript that is able to find the same post on other instances, I should look it up, in case it can also work with posts of offline instances

yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.

ok, maybe I wasn't clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don't send you home for it.

folks who need translations

they can point their phones' focused camera on the text they want to translate.

for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.

yes, I'm also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system
