Was that an answer from ChatGPT?

Yes, I’ve set WATCHTOWER_RUN_ONCE and run it manually (letting it download and automatically apply the updates) when I find time. In the rare case something breaks, I can fix it immediately or roll back the broken container by setting the label to the previous version.

How does it compare to Adminer?

I’ve just set WatchTower to one-shot runs and whenever I have some time to fix eventual issues, I start the WatchTower container, it’ll pull any updates and stop again. No need to mess with my compose files (all set to latest) and no need for pull requests or similar.

Got my Steam Deck a month ago, got Citron working yesterday and might put my (unpatched) Switch into storage soon…

UberSpace. Managed hosts, but you get SSH access and they have a manual for the basics as well as user-contributed guides for specifics.

It’s ran by nerds and the only limit is your allotted disk space (10GB by default). Unlimited email accounts, unlimited aliases, etc.

“Pay what you can afford” model starting at 5€/month.

Yeah, but if your dream second hand laptop has everything but USB-C charging, you can easily get such adapter and basically make it USB-C charging capable. 😉

About the last bit: There are these now. Available for all usual laptop plugs and voltages. Much easier to carry with you than a separate AC brick.

Exactly! I add a random string to each email address, too, so you can’t just guess other addresses. So, it’s usually something similar to lemmy-r4nd0m@mydomain.me. And, whenever a breach happens, I’ll generate a new random part and set that as my email address and invalidate the old one. Until the next breach. (Looking at you, LinkedIn…)

Be aware that some countries make you liable for what people post on your forum.

Also, have you looked at Discourse? There are some nice apps that work with it and make the experience on mobile slightly better.

Uh, The Outer Worlds is quite different to Outer Wilds.

My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.

The accounts for all the websites and services (with their specific email address) are in a KeePass database and they all have random passwords, too.

The only small issue is when you have to contact support of some service. Then, I have to configure the specific email address in my client so they can match that to my account with them. But most email clients allow multiple sender addresses without having to fiddle with the rest of the settings.

I don’t remember whether it was some news article or a discussion thread. But other people also suggested this might help during therapy and/or rehab. And they had the same argument in that nobody gets harmed in creating these.

As for uses outside of controlled therapy, I’d be afraid it might make people want the “real thing” at some point. And, as others already pointed out: Good luck proving to your local police that those photos on your laptop are all “fake”.

After I really enjoyed “The Outer Worlds” on my Switch, the first games I’m playing on my (only recently bought) Steam Deck are the Fallout FPS games. Finished Fallout 3 last week and am currently enjoying New Vegas.

This vulnerability made it possible to collect user data simply by knowing someone’s email address or phone number.

Another example of where it pays off to have separate email addresses/aliases for every website/service you use.

If I interpret this toot correctly, there wasn’t a direct commit from a sanctioned region, but one developer was in one of those regions for a short while quite some time ago. And he may have been flagged because of this.

That’s why I self-host SearXNG. And have enabled several other “underdog” search engines like Mojeek and Marginalia. On my devices I’m using Redirect Web for Safari to send any search request to Ecosia (configured in my Safaris) to my SearXNG instance. Works great for me!

If you have battery drain, make sure you’ve disabled the option to regularly wake up and do some background processing (check for emails, sync photos, etc.). Settings → Battery → Options… → Wake for network access. (Or search for “Power Nap” in the System Sertings dialog.)

No need to use pmset for that.

Ubuntu. Or, get a Mac - which is even more “boring”.

Try to enable “Game Mode” or “PC Mode” on your TV for that HDMI input. Also check the audio settings for supported formats and play around with the settings.

Also, what dock are you using?
