I upvoted, but mine’s a sighthound and she don’t care…

wut? I VPN all the time (for niche stuff Lemmy’s not there yet with).

The more people, the better the platform. It’s that easy.

Hard disagree, quality matters as much or perhaps more than quantity. A billion Nazi network is still Nazi, see Xitter for instance.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

Precisely, principle unsound, do your own damn research.

Sweet

Ya, but you’re overlaying all that stuff, codecs, nvidia, etc. ublue works out of the box and updates are quicker due to not having to re-overlay everything. It’s just less friction. Also it comes with automatic updates enabled which is really nice (and safe in an immutable, intrinsically rollbackable environment)

Explicitly denying a list of companies, e.g. Meta for now, is likely more legally defensible and gets around the issue of indie devs (who mayhap have TOS that allow ads, and it’s the eye of the user that sees the ads, still patreon or straight up paid apps are more in keeping with the fediverse IMO). It also makes the point very specific that these assholes are unwelcome. Perhaps the EFF or someone could draft something… Trick would be to update it as new pricks enter the arena, but that doesn’t seem unachievable.

NixOS is the new Arch… (cat, meet pigeons) Unfortunately It doesn’t have as much basic training as Arch did (which archinstall obviates, not that I think this is a bad thing, it’s time is here), which did so much to improve community. Unfortunately NixOS’s doco is woeful, while ArchWiki is gold standard.

I say this as an ex Arch type who moved to Fedora, now ublue-kinoite, waiting for Nix to mature enough to daily (although I do have a T440p with 3 boot drives not doing much, hmm)…

Nah, 'twas a good rant nonetheless ;)

This. Works great.

Kodi will let you switch engines to VLC.

Cheers for that.

How do you feel about having to specify a different file for all of your containers and volumes?

I have made my peace, it’s the price of not giving docker root. I just open a Kate session and it’s all there, nicely broken into sections.

No one ever got fired for using intel nics, it’s worth it for the time it’ll save.

I found Tasker speech to be pretty clunky, inaccurate and minimally supported. If it’s for personal use I have google recorder on a Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS and it’s STT is outstanding. It’ll download the offline engine and then you can kill it’s network and rip out google serices and it works fine (for now). Might be something to explore… If you find something good please reply, I’m thinking alon the same lines, but was just going to send the audio directly and do stt on the server. I know home assistant is planning voice command next year, might be something helpful there. You could also try using the Termux environment to spin up whatever linux engine you like.

Not sure yet, agree it’s not as nice to look at as YAML, but at least it’s prettier than the alternative systemd.service implementation, and it’s been rock solid so far. Time will tell, I’m sure pods will come and it seems to be what redhat sees as their direction. A method for automatically generating them from docker YAML (and hopefully vice-versa) would go a looong way towards speeding adoption.

Anyone able to compare this with your own SearxNG instance ? I recently set one up, bit of pain in that, but being able to blacklist content farms has been really nice (bye fandom) and the list provided really improves coding search. Choosing what search engines I like (and adding new ones) really helps deshittify search results, bangs, pipe it hrough a vpn etc… Haven’t dived that deep and it’s already leaps and bounds better than my previous search experience.

once the containers are running after podman-compose you can use podman-generate-systemd to create a systemd services. Helped me move a rather large compose file to a bunch of services. My notes weren’t the best, sorry, but that’s the gist.It got me moved. I’ve now moved on to .container files for new stuff, which generates them on the fly. Need to move my old services over, but they work and who’s got the time…

Concur, podman doesn’t (have to) have root, and has autoupdate and podman-compose to use docker files. Containers are cool, Docker less so.
