Doch, aber Nazis sind immer die anderen.

Wer Achmed den Schädel eintritt ist kein Nazi, weil der Achmed uns ja umvolkt, wegen den Nazis in der Regierung und deswegen sind wir quasi ein Volk ohne Raum!

Muss man wissen!!

Es war eine komische Welt, damals in den frühen 2000ern.

Gab's nicht noch so eine Serie mit blauen Menschen/Aliens die in Computern gelebt haben?

And you know what that bundle of sticks is called in Latin? Fascis. That's where the name comes from.

Also, nationalsocialism is just one of plenty forms of fascism. It's an umbrella term. And arguing that a poster warns of the wrong sect of genocidal nationalist dictatorship, is just absolutely beyond any kind brain rot.

Look back at all these events. Which of them seemed permanent?

A recession is bad, but there's a very real hope that it's going away soon. The pandemic was a once in a lifetime event, but even that had hope very very soon - the first rumors of a vaccine made rounds literally within days after the first lockdown.

Today's crises are different. Look at the climate. What you see as a young person is, that the entire world is acknowledging that the world is burning - but nobody is doing anything about it.

Look at the economy. In large parts of the Western world the promise of "work hard and you'll have a good life" simply isn't true anymore. And that's not a fluke, recession, bubble. It's systemic and people know that.

I'm literally in the top 10% income wise here in Germany. And even I would have to pay loans back for 20 years with my partner to afford a house here, and even then it's a thin margin. My parents' generation could buy a house, go on vacations, and have a good life in general with two regular worker's salaries. That's nothing that will blow over in a year or two.

Not for you. And certainly not for the staff working in the shop.

Currently, you're bartering with copious amounts of copium.

... And if the systems you actually interact with go down, you can get fucked as well.

If you want to buy food with Monero and the payment processor for the local shop doesn't work, even if it's a local machine sitting in the back office, you still can't buy anything.

Bitcoin lightning is absolutely hilarious. Your solution to Bitcoins problems is - not using Bitcoin. Wow, galaxy brain move.

The energy cost to maintain the base chain is <1% of global energy use, mostly from renewables

Yeah, that's bullshit. First of all, 1% of energy use for a network that serves a few million transactions per day is really bad. A single 1kW node in Visa's datacenter churns through that in an hour.

Second, it's not renewables. It's everything they can get for cheap. And that's often enough coal, gas, oil. Also, they're driving up power demand as a whole, which means fossil energy is actually needed longer.

Repairability doesn't really matter if you only get two years of software updates.

Yes, there's lineage OS, but whether their support will be better, is doubtful.

We shouldn't support a company that openly says they don't give a crap about their users'safety.

Maybe a shocker to you, but you're not a young adult anymore.

This study is specifically about people in their 20s. Usually in that age you're supposed to be happy and full of hope for the future. Sure, your time maybe sucked, but you're not the average.

Today's youth grows increasingly frustrated and hopeless, because if you look around, there's nothing to hope for. The future is bleak. That wasn't the case 20 years ago.

Isn't that what sovereign citizens believe already happened?

 

I have a public SMB share mainly as a media dump. Everyone can read and write, without any auth - as intended. However, if I copy files via SSH (as a regular user, not the samba user), these files are of course owned by that user and thus not writable for the samba user - so I can't touch these files via SMB.

My config looks like this

[public]
  path = /path/to/samba/public
  guest ok = yes
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes
  create mask = 0664
  directory mask = 0775
  force user = sambapub
  force group = users

I can fix the permissions by simply chown/chmod all files, but that's not really a solution.

 

As the title says, FF seems to selectively forget cookies and thus requires me to constantly re-login.

I've had the exact same issue on two separate machines both running Ubuntu. My best guess is, that snap is at fault here, but I have no idea, why.

To reproduce the issue, I just have to perform the arcane ritual of "closing the app" and whoosh, cookies are gone. Plugins and settings persist, no "delete on close" option whatsoever is active. Vanilla Ubuntu shows exactly this behavior.

 

I'm planning on giving an older machine a small upgrade with an SSD, but since that machine does not have an m.2 port, I was thinking about buying the cheapest PCIe adapter I could find. Besides the obvious stuff like ports, PCIe gen and lane count, is there anything I should look out for? Specifically regarding Linux?

 

I got my hands on an old e-ink price tag and want to repurpose this display.

Unfortunately, I can't really figure out, what this type of connector/bus is called. To me it looks like a standard issue ribbon cable.

There are some "universal" e-paper drivers (for example this one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/353141399922), but I have absolutely no idea, how to find out, if that's the right connector.

The device is made by Imagotag, if that helps.

Edit: I added a picture of the panel: https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/42ee4f60-231a-4c42-9a66-6c369134c49c.jpeg

None of the "markings" returned any results and the QR code couldn't be decoded by my phone.

 

I'm often in longer telephone conferences and like to play relatively uncomplicated, mindless games like 2048 or threes. Both of these are getting pretty boring these days, so I'm looking for new games.

 

Ich hatte mir vor Jahren mal ein gutes Polster von Audible-Guthaben angehäuft, was jetzt langsam leer wird und da ich Amazon ungern weiter unterstützen möchte, suche ich einen neuen Anbieter.

Thalia scheint ein vergleichbares Angebot zu haben, aber zumindest bei oberflächlicher Suche war das Angebot eher mau (Foundation von Asimov existiert zB gar nicht).

Bookbeat fand ich eigentlich auch interessant (10€ für 25h Material finde ich fair), aber dass die Minuten am Ende des Monats verfallen, finde ich frech.

 

I have an HP g3 mini and a Dell Optiplex flying around, both similarly specced. The HP has an i5 6500t and 16gb DDR4 RAM, the Dell has 8gb DDR3l, so nothing too different.

However, the Dell draws around 15W while idle, the HP one 5W.

The only difference I could think of (and that is in my power to change) is the PSU. The Dell has one of those SFF PSU for up to 180W while the HP has an external 65W power brick with a barrel jack.

So my question is: Does anyone have experience with one of those Pico PSUs? I guess they should be more efficient? I'm not planning to put anything power hungry into the optiplex.

 

I'm currently struggling with upgrading some Postgres DBs on my home-k3s and I'm seriously considering throwing it all away since it's such a hassle.

So, how do you handle DBs? K8s? Just a regular daemon?

 

I have a cheap Fujitsu Futro S920 running a bunch of services here, but I noticed, that for some tasks its rather weak (and old) CPU simply can't keep up. The lack of SATA is another weak point.

Is there any machine out there that can compete with its 5W idle power draw and offers better performance for a reasonable price?

ITX boards seem to draw often double what the Futro needs and here in Germany power is rather expensive.

 

A few of my friends experienced the glory of PiHole in my home network and asked, if I could install such a thing in their networks as well.

Which I obviously could, but none of them are interested in updating/maintaining such a device. So I would like to collect some suggestions on how to deploy such a box with (ideally) zero interaction from my side until the end of times.

My hardware platform of choice would be a cheap thin client (Futro s920 or something like that) running Ubuntu with unattended updates enabled.

Pihole itself seem to offer an auto-updater, but I'm not sure how stable that runs in the long run - maybe Docker would be better suited here?
