Team? Win? The original Button didn’t have teams or winning. That’s not as good because then there are a chunk of people who are actively incentivized not to press it.
The Button was interesting because teams/button ideologies formed organically.
You might be surprised how little power it’s sipping when sitting idle. Unnecessary disk accesses might be the biggest power use in those hours, but that’s more likely to cost you due to wear and tear and eventual replacement of the drive.
I recommend buying a Kill-a-watt and monitoring your power consumption on the server for a week or two. Then do some math to see how much it’s actually costing your energy bill. If it’s actually considerable, then try using tools like powertop to see if you can determine what’s generating all the activity.
Ok, I misread what you were linking to. Yeah, that’s pretty bad to allow actual streaming of content to unauthed users. I agree they should not be encouraging anyone to set this up to be publicly accessible until those are fixed. Or at least add a warning.
If I say I custom rolled my own crypto and it’s designed to be deployed to the open web, and you inspect it and don’t see anything wrong, should you do it?
Jellyfin is young and still in heavy development. As time goes on, more eyes have seen it, and it’s been battle hardened, the security naturally gets stronger and the risk lower. I don’t agree that no one should ever host a public jellyfin server for all time, but for right now, it should be clear that you’re assuming obvious risk.
Technically there’s no real problem here. Just like with any vulnerability in any service that’s exposed in some way, as long as you update right now you’re (probably) fine. I just don’t want staying on top of it to be a full time job, so I limit my attack surface by using a VPN.
If it’s just for you, then you don’t need to tackle the hardest problem of content moderation.
The second hardest problem is bandwidth. If you post something to a forum that suddenly gets a lot of traffic, without some kind of CDN intermediary, you’ll get a hug of death and/or a huge bill for all the bandwidth.
The third hardest problem is uptime. My assumption is that you want the content to remain valid forever. No one likes seeing dead links in old forum threads. So as you use it over time, anything you’ve posted over the years could get a sudden unexpected viral hug, or you have to let it die (which may not necessarily stop the hug, since everyone would still be trying to ask your server for the content).
Just making sure you appreciate how difficult solving this problem inevitably becomes. Note that discord and Lemmy Posts let you upload images, so you shouldn’t need such a service in those cases. But for random forums, it quickly becomes hard.
I was also intrigued by the introduction of the matter standard, but the reality is there are already a ton of low power, cheap ZigBee devices out there that can operate for years on a battery.
I think I’ve run into one thread/matter compatible device that I was considering, but found a HA forum thread saying their experience with that protocol+device+HA wasn’t as stable. So I didn’t do it. I’m not even sure how cheap and low power thread/matter devices can get.
Up until the 80s-90s, they were virtually mandatory for women. Probably still are in many countries.
Yep, it was in the textbook, but just like the Barthalona lisp, it was basically a bit of trivia we were never expected to actually learn.
Also very windows like, aside from Mount.
I’m fully convinced this meme, and possibly even OP, are the work of Redbull’s marketing dept.
What does “free pass” mean? None, I guess. I like the companies I do because they don’t cross certain lines, why would I then let them cross those lines without adjusting my view of them?
People are saying Valve, and Valve is positioned as THE primary company gamers should never give a “free pass” to (again, whatever that means). I’m not going to allow valve to start running KLA on my machine, I love Proton but the best part are the community forks, I would much rather have an open alternative/competitor to the steam launcher and storefront. The more power valve has, the more I want to see checks on their power, not capitulation from their customer base.
There is no such thing as a free pass to a corporation. All forms of competition are always welcome and encouraged.
It’s already solved: FOSS means I can always fork/build my own package that does what I want. That’s why I mean it’s immune.
What concerns me is the implicit association people will make between him and FOSS, and anything they believe about one will carry to the other.
I have to assume there are already people who hear “Linux” and think “ugh, I wouldn’t touch that with a 10ft pole because I don’t want anything to do with Pewdiepie”. Similarly, if he says something dumb next week, and half his audience abandons him, they’ll likely have a negative outlook on FOSS going forward.
Either way, I don’t believe FOSS’ staying power comes from meteoric rises following a fad, it comes from a natural immunity to enshittification over time. On the scale of a few of decades, FOSS seems like it’s struggling against proprietary solutions. But just like the general concept of political democracy, I think on the scale of centuries it will become the clear, time-tested, least-bad option. But I digress.
For an actual answer, it looks like WD has something called wdckit that is available on request.
I see a corresponding AUR entry that looks like it’s grabbing some zip from a personal Russian CDN. Super sketchy looking tbh.
But it’s possible this tool has whatever functionality the windows WD Utility uses to toggle the light in the drive’s firmware.
IMO, it’s not worth it. I’d just go the electrical tape route and maybe ask WD Customer Support if there’s a way, and if not, ask that they support Linux better in the future.
I think it makes total sense from their POV if I’m not posting my shit publicly and they want to be able to view it in the future. I will gladly make a copy of their photos of the trip for my own record, but I will store it in a way that only I have access.
I’ve run into this issue with obsidian, but for whatever reason I haven’t had any issues with keepassdx.
When opening an existing keepass vault, on the left there’s an “Open From” pullout menu. You should be able to select your nextcloud from there. Then find your keepass file and it’ll just work.
I don’t know why, but obsidian doesn’t have the same file picker. There’s no “open from” menu. So you just have to drill into the filesystem, find the folder nextcloud is using, and choose your notes vault you’ve sync’ed in there. And for whatever reason, that seems to be the method that breaks Two-Way Sync.
I use Nextcloud + KeepassDX on android and KeepassXC on PC. Have never had an issue. Changes on desktop/phone are propagated virtually immediately across devices.
I want to share my photos of our trip with you, but I don’t want you to upload them to Google, or apple, or amazon, or meta, or any social media.
If it’s a pic of you, fine, do whatever you want. But please don’t take my whole album and store it in your google photos.
Edit: to maybe disambiguate, I go on a trip with someone else, we both take photos/videos using our own devices, and then afterwards we are exchanging what we took. Not like, me sharing photos with someone who didn’t even go on the trip.
Everything is always optional for power users on linux. What I’m saying is they shouldn’t have made a GUI checkbox that’s also easy enough for non power users to check.
Let’s be clear, getting rid of trump doesn’t stop anything. If anything, they WANT someone to target trump, because that gives them justification to be more tyrannical. What you are advocating for is called a Civil War, and if we started one now, Trump would win.
Like all countries, we have a system of government in place. When it comes to removing the president (executive branch) over objectionable behaviour, we have a process: it falls on the judicial and legislative branches to conclude that the behaviour was objectionable and that the president should be forcibly removed (a process in the system called impeachment). Trying to remove the president using means outside this system is literally saying, “the system doesn’t work, we need to throw it out, take matters into our own hands, and start from scratch”, i.e. a civil war.
For now we continue to try to take steps within the system, but it is now abundantly clear to most Americans that the Republicans in Congress have been colluding to allow the president to do whatever objectionable thing he wants. SCOTUS seems to be doing something similar. Unfortunately, that is their prerogative in the system we have.
If a group of states said, “that’s it, we’re done, the system doesn’t work, we don’t acknowledge you as the president, and we’re going to try to stop you” then within the system, it is the job of the US military to put a stop to that. Their job within the system is to ensure the system keeps working as the law dictates. And the US military is the most funded military in the world, so the rebellion would lose almost instantly.
This fall will be the real decider because of midterms. Trump is polling very poorly. A record number of Republican congress-people have announced they will not seek reelection. Democrats are winning in red states for the first time in close to a century. Trump is desperately trying to rig elections, and there’s a possibility he’ll attempt to cancel elections entirely. The result will be one of two things:
Ideally it’s option 1, but there’s a very real chance it’s option 2, in which case the US military is obligated to stop him. If they don’t, then we will cross the bridge you’re describing, and it won’t be pretty.
