Sounds a lot like alcoholism.

.... And they're able to make chips good enough for their military.

Russia's military is in large parts only slightly refurbished soviet gear. For a T72 or even T90, a 90s era chip is still good enough.

Why do you think they dismantled all those washing machines? The microcontrollers in there aren't high tech at all.

Paying 420€ per month at most for comprehensive healthcare and 49€ per month for regional/urban public transportation nationwide is really a chore.

And additionally, I even have to live with the burden of getting my master's degree almost for free! It's horrible over here! I can barely enjoy my 30 vacation days thinking about the situation!

I mean, hardly anyone complaining about Java does so because of JVM bytecode.

I'm not sure, where the wasm hate is coming from.

Sad but true.

This country is desperate for workers and too stubborn and racist to actually let people work here.

No, it has to be from the silicon valley, otherwise it's just sparkling oppression.

Thing is, you have to measure from the user base on the underside, this graphic obviously uses the wrong method.

They probably cost next to nothing to produce, so even a small audience will make them profitable.

I wonder, if you could just cycle through the same 5 movies without anyone noticing.

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.

Energy prices are higher than in many other countries here, but not super high - especially not for businesses.

The real problem is that Germany is an gerontocracy that got complacent. Literally every change, whatsoever, will find at least 50 people arguing against it, because it could slighty affect their bottom line or their view. The result is a country that ground to a halt.

This is true in the business world, politics, science, administration. There are just too many old people that are afraid to lose anything.

Our car manufacturers straight ignored anything electric until Tesla built a factory literally on their door steps, our politicians willfully sabotaged wind and solar power (where we were world leading, at the time!) in favor of coal, because coal workers are somehow 10x more important than anyone else, our administration is still using paper everywhere, everything takes tons of useless paperwork, just because fucking Annegret thinks computers are a fad, our immigration system is almost nonexistant, since "we're not an immigration country" despite something like 25% of the people here migrated, we don't let refugees work, despite having literally too few workers to stock shelves at Aldi for 15% above minimum wage.

As a young German, I have to say, I'm afraid this country is fucked. But not because of any grand economical failure, but because the Germans as a people are idiots - luckily we're only killing ourselves this time.

There's also the infamous gender of "Taucher", for the non-germans: in German forms, the "diverse" gender is written "divers", which was auto-translated to "Taucher", which is a guy in a diving suit.

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.

Die Menschen sind halt auch dumm wie scheiße, das ist "Wasch mir den Pelz, aber mach mich nicht nass" in Reinform. Wenn man mal aus seiner Blase rauskommt bzw. ein bisschen mehr rumfragt, kriegt man das mit.

Beispiel aus dem echten Leben: meine Mutter lebt am Rand einer größeren Stadt, ist aber vom ÖPNV quasi abgeschnitten, die Stadt plant eine neue Bus oder Bahnlinie, um genau dieses Viertel anzuschließen. Die Bürger beschweren sich, dass der Bus zu laut ist und durch die Straßenbahn Parkplätze verloren gehen. Und jetzt wird gegen die örtlichen Grünen gehetzt.

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?
