Imperative stoneagers getting an old MacBook from somewhere and going "huh, I guess its UNIX" is probably true though

Yeah let's get rid of science communication altogether

I am sure everything will be just fine

I know this is a different game but it reminded me of Galacticcraft moon

I still love mods from that era. New ones are just missing the sandbox experience. Except Create, they know how to make a good sandbox

There was a browser extension which both blocked ads and simulated clicks iirc. That comes with a processing power cost though.

But that only benefits the advertisement agency (eg. google ads) and doesn't do much harm to the advertiser imo

I'm gonna say posting screenshots is kind of parallel to the purpose of this place. Lemmy is an aggregator, a platform where content from other sites is linked/reposted.

Original content is still important, as without them, the website would die in a few weeks. But we should not ignore the value "crossposted" stuff adds to this place. I read a lot of great, original stories under the thread shown in your screenshot.

!science_memes@mander.xyz is a perfect example of this. It is filled with unoriginal content and screenshots but I genuinely learned more stuff in the comment section of that community compared to "serious" science communities in other platforms. That also has something to do with the quality of fediverse users of course, but my point stands

What a tasteful website design

I am a first year student in electronics engineering.

I loved watching fun youtube videos on math (ex. 3blue1brown) but was not fond of high school math, due to the lack of proofs and deeper understanding.

Nowadays the stuff I used to watch for fun turned into my job and I couldn't be happier. Finally getting to do real science feels good.

Unlike high school math, I loved high school physics but that one was mostly due to my way of learning. Which is with lots of visualisations in my head and lots of calculus to prove the formulas they made us memorize.

These days, even though my books give me the proof right away, I sometimes don't look at the proof because I miss the magic of fiddling with calculus for hours to find it myself.

I love computers but I felt like my love would diminish if I picked CS as a major. Mostly due to the monotonous nature of the job environment. But i am pretty sure my love for electronics is undying and unlike computing I have heaps to learn about electronics so I picked it.

That would happen a lot less if they just used the LiDAR + camera combo like a sane person

But who am I to judge? el*n certainly knows better riiiiigghhht?

Show me how you never programmed anything without telling me

Software should be maintained, not built and forgotten about. Windows encourages the latter, which is just straight up bad practice

 

Hello, I am a person who has only used thread based "social media" their whole life. I never liked platforms such as twitter and instagram and preferred aggregators like reddit, and nowadays, lemmy.

I tried joining twitter once, failed, closed my account and went back to reddit. Same with instagram. Kind of glad that I did not use them.

I recently created an instagram account because my friends use it's messaging feature. And because my generation uses instagram handles like phone numbers of old (i am 20).

I really want an active mastodon account. There are really cool people there and there are some thoughts I can't express with the "forum format".

I mostly repost cool stuff I see, but even after joining a reasonable amount of discourse, and trying not to look like a bot, I am yet to get a workable amount of social circle. Whereas I easily fit into places like lemmy.

what am i doing wrong

edit: Just realized the title looks like a "I wanna be famous" post. It really is not

Hi there. I've been trying to set up authelia just as a OIDC provider (no trafeik). I am kind of frustrated due to it's large config file

Could anyone please provide me with a simple configuration.yaml and maybe a docker-compose service entry

I found one example on github but it seems outdated.

 
 

I have 91 flatpaks, and it is my primary way of getting apps. But the (not very shared) dependencies have been bothering me lately.

I was primarily drawn in because Gnome Software has a cool UI and because I wanted the magic of one-click installs. I heard a lot of things about Flatpak and gave it a try.

I have a relatively small 72GB BTRFS root partition with zstd:1 (lowest) enabled. I think disk compression helps with the Flatpak dependency mess, as I only have 60% disk usage currently.

Idk how much extra RAM my flatpaks use, but I don't want 4 versions of the same dependency taking up space in my RAM. Thought about enabling zram to compensate for this. As different versions of the same library in RAM are easy to compress.

I don't think this compression mentality I instinctively adopted is healthy. Make stuff reliable in expense of storage/ram -> compress storage/ram in expense of proc. power

Another thing is slow Flatpak downloads. I have a gigabit connection, and Arch mirrors generally work around 30MB/s with WiFi. Flatpak, on the other hand, hits at max. 5MB/s with its "CDN"

Overall, even though it's kind of ugly, I absolutely love the "don't think about it" mentality of flatpaks. It just works most of the time. I simply use the system package manager for programs that heavily interact with the system (like IDEs, management stuff, and so on)

I am interested in hearing your opinions.

 

i couldn't upload a video so it's a link

 
 

Hi. I am currently using google drive mounted with rsync (encrypted) to stream files over my VPS since my VPS provider charges a lot for extra storage compared to google. I have offline backups of the said data at home

I currently have a 100GB google drive plan and it's working suprisingly great. Also it's cheap in my country due to regional pricing

Now, as I learned, Google keeps your files for 2 years after you cancel your extra storage subscription. It also doesn't allow you to upload anything which locks up Gmail but that doesn't matter if it's an alt account. So, can I just create an alt account, buy a 1 month subscription, upload everything, cancel it, then read it using rclone? Does Google restrict api access (for rclone) on drives with expired subscriptions?

Yeah I know I'm stretching this a bit too far but I just wanna know

 
 

Hi there. My guide is currently hosted at survival.aesistril.com. I wrote some stuff but it's really hard to write every guide by myself.

My goal is to create a easy to follow guides for the average joe and compile every other guide into one web page. I want to be able to link this whenever a relative or a friend asks me how to get rid of x

Name and URL suggestions (under .aesistril.com subdomain) are welcome. I am currently using open source hardware icon because it looks cool

I am using the CGA color palette and I would appreciate if you don't use any other colors. Not a strict restriction though

Source code is here on GitHub. Pull requests, markdown guides, docx, txt, every type of contribution or constructive criticism is appreciated
