I’m excited for the fun gopher hole you’re gonna go down

Alright folks, in 2025 we’re bringing Gopher back

PiHole and a TailScale exit node so you can use it for DNS whether or not you’re on your home network.

I think who you mean by tech community here is important too. CEOs? Their pay depends in part on them not listening.

Enthusiasts? Engineers? People who use technology more than incidentally? Left-leaning tech circles? Some have heard him, the idea of enshittification has spread well.

Sometimes ideas don’t spread very much until they do in a big way. This feels to me like one where that point exists, and people will take notice when it’s hit.

1. I’ve learned a number of tools I’d never used before, and refreshed my skills from when I used to be a sysadmin back in college. I can also do things other people don’t loudly recommend, but fit my style (Proxmox + Puppet for VMs), which is nice. If you have the right skills, it’s arbitrarily flexible.

2. What electricity costs in my area. $0.32/KWh at the wrong time of day. Pricier hardware could have saved me money in the long run. Bigger drives could also mean fewer, and thus less power consumption.

3. Google, selfhosting communities like this one, and tutorial-oriented YouTubers like NetworkChuck. Get ideas from people, learn enough to make it happen, then tweak it so you understand it. Repeat, and you’ll eventually know a lot.

I don’t think anyone intends public funds to be quite that sticky; public education is itself a public good, and having once attended a public school really has nothing to do with developing a product 20 years down the road.

Also, writing open source code can support a viable business. Not every example has been successful, and some have been sold to hypercapitalist owners who wanted to extract more profit, others have failed to keep up, but Canonical is doing alright with it, Red Hat did for a long time, among others. Plenty of bigger tech companies also employ people to write open source software, despite it not being the company’s main business, React, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and so many other projects. Those engineers definitely aren’t working for free.

The very few artists who do, and have the creative freedom to so do are probably the only ones who could get away with this. Convention Centers don’t seem to have the same density of existing Ticketmaster relationships, and while they’d have to pay to bring in seating at some, I bet they could do it for something similar to Ticketmaster’s middleman fees.

I’m not sure the difference between costs for concert venues and convention centers, but if it’s anywhere near comparable, it could be feasible.

Why are the women doing it? Power imbalance is probably a big factor.

I’m similar except I use Debian, and I just bought a cheap SSD for my gaming computer, knowing that Windows 10 will be well out of service before I retire it. I’ve done a couple of OS transitions before, and I figure not dealing with partition editing or losing files is worth what a 256GB SSD costs in 2024.

I started with Ubuntu, and left because I don’t like how they run things; I think it’s worth trying a few more distros if you haven’t already, to find one you vibe with. Unless you want a project (which some do), finding one that works with your hardware, supports a DE you like, etc is a good time investment imo.

I mean, the problem isn’t the existence/obviation of jobs, but what we do next when it happens. If the people whose jobs are automated away are left out with no money or employment, that’s a serious problem. If we as a society support them in learning something new that puts their skills to good use, and maybe even reduce the expected working hours of a full-time job to 35 or 32 hours a week, that’s an absolute win in my book.

Or does content only die when it’s recycled for the last time?

I’d watch those folders, especially the UPLOAD_LOCATION, when it’s uploading. Are they being written? Do they persist, or are they being deleted? See if you can upload a single image through the web client, and observe that behavior too.

But posts are rising, and comments stable… I think the story is more nuanced than that

Maybe that’s just because 132 is a rude number.

Just like writing it in pure CSS and JavaScript would be showing OP’s ability to use those tools, and showcasing how creative they are. (Or aren’t, I guess.) Everything is built out of something, and the point of a portfolio is to show off what tools the creator is good at using to make things. Whatever it is they want to show off, they should use that skill to make a cool portfolio.

Here at Lemmy we have all three types of community: us politics, nsfw, and furries.

I remember 5 years ago when Linus said he would work to show more restraint in swearing out vendors… and it’s just hit me how well that worked. He didn’t use a single swear word–in English or Finnish–and kept his negative sentiment focused on the implementation, rather than the people who did it, or their intelligence.

No the number is public. The IPv4 addresses allocated to the US are about 1.524 Billion, and there are ~332 million people in the US. Most of those IPv4 addresses are allocated to servers in datacenters, but individual people having a public IP for their house is really common. Yeah, your devices are behind NAT, but you can get one. To their point, in countries like India, people outnumber IPv4 addresses so much this isn’t possible. Just getting people there online in a way they can interact with the IPv4 Internet is tricky to do well.

A dashboard of available services just seems like the correct choice to me, so I use Heimdall
