Trans rights are human rights.
@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by “planners”…
@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC Sounds like the problem is cars, not trees.
@sugar_in_your_tea @phoenixz Hi there! If you wouldn’t mind indulging grampa for a minute - I’m a former php4 maintainer for Debian with a story.
One time we found a bug that caused the php interpreter to crash, based on the input passed to a function. We decided it was a security issue, but even that was kind of besides the point. We reported it upstream to the php folks. They (Rasmus!) told us it was not a high priority issue, because apache would simply restart when it crashes - no big deal
@ItJustDonn @486 Hang on, this runs chromium as root? That seems like a _really_ bad idea. And unnecessary, since there’s a hoarder user installed later in the script…

@Coldmoon @Steamymoomilk I mean, a few months ago I bought a 10TB used HGST drive from 2018 (from goharddrive). The bigger issue imo is buying a drive that old and having only a 90 day warranty. The 10TB drive I purchased came with a 5yr warranty.
@sxan @shortrounddev jmp.chat uses XMPP, and it’s a very viable replacement for Google Voice (and generic SIP options like voip.ms), so that’s what got me back on the XMPP train. No one else other than my family is using it with me, though, but it’s still nice to have SMS, (encrypted & decentralized) family chat, and IRC (via biboumi bridge) in one desktop client.
> is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue
Yes, that is a problem. We’re still in a world where you need to manually enable port forwarding in order to get better seeding for bittorrent clients, and if you have CGNAT you’re SOL (short of using a VPN or something to bounce through an external host).
It’s likely because torrent software is older (& in crappier languages), and came about before CGNAT was a thing.
@mesamunefire @cm0002 Voice + Syncthing-fork is what I use. It syncs between an audiobook directory on my laptop and my phone.
@towerful @baatliwala For real though, I use old laptops for self-hosting so that I never have to dig up a monitor & keyboard.
@tuxec @zygo_histo_morpheus Is “soyware” related to the pejorative “soyboy”?
@Shimitar @whysofurious Same. Getting an enclosure that can properly use linux’s uas driver rather than the usb-storage driver is a night-and-day difference. Read the reviews and get a dedicated single-drive enclosure for like $30, and don’t overlook cooling. Sometimes an external usb fan is a better option than an enclosure with built-in fans but poor airflow.
@Sunny Backups are done weekly, using Restic (and with ‘–read-data-subset=9%’ to verify that the backup data is still valid).
But that’s also in addition to doing nightly Snapraid syncs for larger media, and Syncthing for photos & documents (which means I have copies on 2+ machines).
@werefreeatlast I do this with yggdrasil. Every yggdrasil host gets its own unique private IPv6 address (routeable only to other yggdrasil hosts). As long as you have a single yggdrasil host that’s located in public (I use a VPS for this), you can reach any of the yggdrasil hosts from any of the other ones via their IPv6 address. I then map those addresses with DNS, so I don’t have to ever type them.
@ohshit604 @AbidanYre Nah, they are still doing releases, but they’re hidden. You have to combine the past few releases to unlock the url for the latest release.
[I’m joking, of course.]
@sxan @elyviere In particular, there are two gl.inet models that you can install openwrt on: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/best-newcomer-routers-2024/189050/2
The other models run modified openwrt but don’t necessarily allow you to install a stock openwrt release.
@Decipher0771 @victory Neat, I didn’t know keepalived was still active and popular. https://bugs.debian.org/144100
@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC *sigh*
City streets are _not_ specifically for cars. Freeways aren’t even specifically for cars (buses, trucks), but city streets in particular are definitely not just for cars.
Tree roots are a solved problem. Lots of city master plans and similar documents have a list of trees allowed in the public right-of-way that have root systems compatible with sidewalks and roads. Some trees have roots that buckle concrete, others have roots that don’t. Choose wisely.
