julianh , to nostupidquestions in Is there something like launchers for windows?

Because android focuses on one app per screen, having a main launcher makes sense. But for windows, that idea doesn’t really translate. You can download programs to replace or change certain aspects, like rain meter or classic shell, but I don’t think anything exists that bothers to overhaul everything.

There is a similar thing to launchers on Linux though, called desktop environments. These will change the behavior and ui of the entire desktop experience.

Haha nice work! Reminds me of when I got my little brother his first computer (a Raspberry Pi setup)

@AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl avatar

One very good point I heard once is this: You have nothing to hide NOW, but what if a government raises that somehow views you as a menace? What if you don’t agree.

What if something that you can’t change about yourself, say your religion, your sexual preference etc. This has happened before and is happening right now in some countries.

When the child killer knocks on the door and asks where the kids are, you don’t tell him the truth.

kava ,

Yeah I bring this up. We are installing the mechanisms for which some crazy future totalitarian government can exercise absolute control over the population.

With the technology we have today, we can make 1984 a reality. In fact, Orwell would be surprised at just how effective we could be. We’re even working on the mind reading at this point.

darganon , to showerthoughts in I wonder where police cars get their gasoline from?

They have fleet fueling stations where we’re at. Car dealerships use them as well as cops and anyone else that needs it.

CloverSi , to piracy in What are your thoughts on piracy related stickers on cars?

Wow, people here really hate bumper stickers. I think of them as a fun little bit of self expression that reminds me there are other humans in the road. I really don’t think the risk of getting your car keyed because of one is nearly as high as it’s being made out to be, and police using a bumper sticker as any sort of evidence seems pretty unlikely too. Do whatever you’re comfortable with of course, but I wouldn’t be too worried.

@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

What counters it is the fact that you might not have anything to hide now but you might have to hide something in the future. Circumstances might change, your country might turn into an authoritarian dictatorship over time, that declares a quality or behavior of yours to be illegal. They can and will use all your data against you to prosecute you.

Jordan_the_hutt ,

This is a very real possibility for pretty much every country in the world right now. Authoritarianism is on the rise

Blaze , to nostupidquestions in Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?

Can’t wait for a Fediverse alternative to launch to be honest

nitefox OP ,

I don’t think it would fix any of its faults tho

NightOwl ,

Yeah, I feel anything connected to real IDs is destined to end up turning into a self promotion, advertising, product placement, influencer platform.

Blaze ,

It is, but at least you would be able to filter chronologically and not whatever LinkedIn uses these days

banana_meccanica , (edited ) to reddit in Nuking old Reddit accounts

Honestly I think there is an overvalutatin on what was shared. Do you really think to popping gold by comments? I mean, at best you probably have 3 or 4 moments in one year. This hostage situation is all inside the head so far.

w00tabaga OP ,

It’s not so much that I think my content was such a great and big addition to the site on why I want to delete. In fact, it’s not that at all.

I just like the idea of Reddit being riddled with posts with comment threads that don’t offer much as a whole as most stuff has been removed. I’m just trying to do my part, and if it makes a few people aware of Lemmy, all the better.

brickfrog ,

Eh it depends. When we had one of our subs locked there in protest we constantly received modmail from random google searchers asking to be let in so they can read random posts they found via google. The funny thing is many of those posts were things I had commented answers in. Makes me wonder how many of those google searches are now dead ends after the comment answer was deleted.

On the other side, back when I was a mod there I used to point people to earlier posts that discussed whatever question was being asked & sometimes people would complain that the earlier posts were useless since other people deleted their own comment answers in them. Even before Reddit protests people would routinely wipe their Reddit history, as a mod it was easy to see it happen in real time.

So overall people deleting their own comments does have some effect on making searches pointing to Reddit, or within Reddit, kind of useless.

banana_meccanica ,

I get this but still feeling in debt looks bad. This feel of begin necessary that makes impossible to delete and go on. I know sometimes reddit comments offert good Info’s, still this can’t be mean that a single website as to be the repository of all knowage, expeccialy if that website is corrupted. That is the check to avoid.

This is more of a support question, please see the sidebar for suggestions on communities where you could better ask this question. Removing under rule #3.

freeman , to selfhosted in Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?

Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server

Probably more.

ratz OP ,

Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?

freeman ,

Straight up wsus with a nightly script to keep it from fucking itself up.

Fergie434 ,

AD and wsus? Do you need a paid license to run that?

freeman , (edited )

My job pays for a visual studio dev kit that gets windows server keys. Though I may move to samba 4 And just drop wsus entirely

silver , to selfhosted in Caddy with Cloudflare DNS fails to solve acme challenge

It’s been a while since I use caddy but I use the dns for nginx, make sure you are using the correct api key, it does not like using a too permissive one.
So a zone token instead of an account token.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Already done that. The permissions of the API are Zone:Read & DNS:Edit That was what was stated in the Caddy github page.
