Take a gander at this
  • To me as a layman it immediately brings up a connection to feminism. I don't think that anybody who will want to get men to think different will get very far using the word "patriarchy", given men being more right leaning.

    There isn't much substance to my argument than "nuh uh I don't like that word" but it is what it is. There must be some better approach "marketing wise", despite patriarchy being technically correct.

    Away from home for months; homelab unreachable; now looking for UPS

    I'm currently traveling for months at a time and my homelab has become unreachable to me over VPN due to a unknown complication after a power outage.

    Just as a learning experience for all, my mistake was that I set-up my VPN very far down the stack - as a wg-easy app inside TrueNAS SCALE's apps ecosystem. My very important reason for doing it was that way was that wg-easy allows for setting up client devices with a QR code...

    Anyway, the NAS is not booting back up nor do the TrueNAS apps. I should've set my VPN up right at the front of the network - on my MikroTik router that also supports Wireguard. The funny thing is I was so happy that my NAS has IPMI and whatnot but now I can't even access it.

    For now the NAS is kept powered on from what I know, it just doesn't boot. This should help prevent bitrot until I'm back. All important files are backed up on a 3rd party service.

    It's a shame my Jellyfin and Navidrome inaccessible, but I'll live.

    ----

    Now I'm thinking about buying an UPS so that this doesn't happen in the future. I'd like the UPS to be fanless and rackmount, so that limits me to ~700VA territory.

    Devices in my homelab pull about 65W idle and spike to say 150W when everything is booting. ISP modem, router, POE+ switch, AP, NAS. I might add another 20W due to a Lenovo M920q in the future.

    I only really care about NUT and graceful shutdown instead of long runtime on battery.

    I was thinking about this: https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/SMT750RMI2U/

    In my country I can get it with new batteries (no front panel) and a network card for NUT for a total of 180 EUR.

    Would that work? Would you be afraid of leaving an UPS (it is kinda like a bomb after all) unattended an leaving your home for 6 months at a time?

  • My god maybe that "open source games" lemmy community got one thing right

    It's just a joke how e.g. tf2 players beg a megacorp to fix their game every year now. I like tf2 but the power dynamic between the publisher and the player is crazy

  • The major Organic Maps June update
  • You can also create an account and just leave a note on the map (a message that other contributors to OSM see) mentioning your observations. It's a good option if editing the map is too overwhelming with all the different tags and how routing algorihms interpret them.

  • During my vegan phase I was counting calories with Cronometer - if you eat unprocessed foods you can count calories using data from food-related institutions. Because of that, the protein data is detailed and is split into the individual amino-acids rather than just saying "you ate 100g of protein today". At the end of the day, my panel was all green (meaning 100% RDA) apart from lysine which was lower. I don't see where my diet was lacking anything crucial protein-wise that necessitates eggs. I can get the micronutrient argument with B12 and dietary cholesterol, but protein?

    The thread poster ridicules "da beans" but is infact "muh eggs" themselves. And I have drawn myself as Chad and them as Wojak to prove it

  • Multi account containers
  • FWIW I recently stopped using the extension due to large resource usage - especially painful if you have many tabs open and FF opens many processes for each container tab, eating up more RAM. I just use FF Nightly for personal stuff and regular FF for work.

  • Here’s what we’re working on in Firefox
  • For context, the part where they talk about AI:

    We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox -- which many, many of you have been asking about -- in the same way. We’re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.

    We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models -- i.e., more private -- to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities.

    I mean, this is not "slapping an LLM on top of the software and calling it AI", it's integrating it into the browser in usable ways.

    One usage of a local model is the local translation feature which was ... kinda nice? Not having to go online to translate? Pretty cool right?

    This is similar here with the alt text, seems like a force for good?

    Feels like they're fulfilling what they said in the first paragraph of the quote.

    Information retention after reading non-fiction

    After reading a non-fiction book, do you beat yourself up over not remembering all that much? This is especially painful if the book took years to complete (e.g. Anne Applebaum's "Gulag").

    It's a bit ridiculous to expect to become an Encyclopedia after reading something in passing too, though.

    I feel as if working with a computer and using the internet daily destroyed my attention span, which is why I'm self concious about this.

    Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

    I've been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I've given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It's unreal how strict the requirements are now.

    1. Give e-mail (ok)
    2. Give phone number (.... eeh, ok)
    3. Use the new account for a while
    4. Account suspended, please upload selfie to continue (no thanks xi). There are also some verification promps where you have to record a video and rotate your face left to right

    If this isn't a message to move to indie web I don't know what is

    Wrote some simple code to prevent saving .json if it doesn't parse

    I was working with NPM package.json files a lot lately and I often found myself saving them in an unparseable state. json-ts-mode highlights syntax errors in yellow but it wasn't enough.

    I didn't want to use flymake-eslint becuase it requires having the jsonlint binary in the PATH and I just wanted a simple Lisp solution.

    The code tries to parse the current buffer on save using Emacs' built-in json-parse-string and moves the cursor to the location of the parsing error if it fails.

    The below code naively assumes that the saved buffer is always the current buffer, which may very well not be the case (e.g. (save-some-buffers)).

    It also probably won't save JSON5 files which have // comments inside because json-parse-string won't handle that. ``` (defun rtz/json-parse-pre () (interactive) (if (eq major-mode 'json-ts-mode) (condition-case err (progn (json-parse-string (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))) nil) (json-parse-error (goto-char (nth 3 err)) (error err)))))

    (setq write-file-functions '(rtz/json-parse-pre)) ```
