void_wanderer , in "It has to be Chromium"

Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

@b3nsn0w@pricefield.org avatar

they’re 100% doing dev work at ms, afaik their contributions are public because chromium is an open source project. and i think it would be very beneficial for larger amounts of people to use edge (only if they’re dead set on not using firefox though) because having two different companies compete on that is still better than just having google have a monopoly.

mk7 ,

The Edge team has made a lot of major contributions to Chromium over the past few years.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fitandnatural

Thanks. It’s not exactly porn, but I subbed anyway.

atyaz , in Every bell curve meme

I remember needing to understand some math concept for some reason so I googled it and clicked on the Wikipedia link. When I realized I was too stupid for that I went back and clicked on the “math is fun” link. It explained it perfectly. Thank you math is fun.

henfredemars ,

Next time try Simple English Wikipedia. It’s really great for explaining things where the full version is still too much.

For example, try their article on quantum physics.

IDatedSuccubi ,

Wikipedia is really bad at explaining things, it’s written in a way that you have to deeply know all of the surrounding topics to understand what is going on

I used to think that it’s too hard to set up a suspension on a car because the Wikipedia pages are all weird and undescriptive, but it turns out it’s very simple for something like a double wishbone, there are even visual calculators out there

glassware OP ,

I hear you with this, I’ve ended up doing a distance learning Maths degree just so I can understand all the Wikipedia squiggles

FlyingSquid OP ,

Fran Drescher is president of SAG-AFTRA and leading the strike against, amongst other things, studios wanting to use AI to replace actors and writers.

state_electrician ,

Fran Drescher, the woman on the right, is the spokesperson for the current strike in Hollywood, where writers and actors are trying to force the studios to agree to not use AI in upcoming productions. To clarify, she’s the current head of SAG/AFTRA, which is the screen actors guild (union).

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We should also add that she used to be the star of a sitcom called The Nanny in the 90s and hasn’t been heard of much since, so it was a big surprise to a lot of people (me included) when it turned out she’s been really active behind the scenes.

captainlezbian ,

Yeah a lot of people mostly recognize her for her very distinctive voice and it’s not what you’d expect for a union president who’s going to strike

LeafyBirch ,

It's not her real voice. She got recognized for it, but her actual voice is very regular.

spacedancer ,

I can still hear the nasality in her voice, but yeah she hammed it up for The Nanny. Great speech too.

thesprongler ,

She’s from Flushing, NY, so that’s just kind of a regional accent. Definitely played up on The Nanny.

I knew this would be that video before I clicked on it… In the context of that show, this was so, so funny

I mean I’m not even an IT guy by trade (just by hobby) - I’m a truck driver.

howdy ,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

I am an it guy and mine still goes down… Lol. Your doing great to get an instance going! That setup isn’t exactly non tech friendly.

Mine went down yesterday because my backup job for my docker vols filled up my entire vps.

bdonvr ,

I was starting to run into that until I moved pict-rs to object storage a few days back.

I gzip the backups, keep one local, upload the rest to Backblaze. The local one gets deleted before the next backup starts.

howdy ,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Oh that’s genius, you got any good docs on doing that?

bdonvr ,

On the backups or the object storage?

bdonvr , (edited )

For the backups I have these bash scripts (the pict-rs one takes much less time now that I use object storage so the images aren’t on the server): gist.github.com/…/5d4e56dadcb29de656368a1cb78cc00…

You can look at rclone’s docs on how to hook that into B2 (or wherever you’d like to dump your backups, B2 is jusut cheap). I also set up a crypt in rclone so it encrypts it as it uploads (optional).

Then just put those on cron jobs at different times, I do them every 6 hours. One at <hour>:15 and one at <hour>:45

Then in B2 I set the bucket to keep files for 10 days.

To migrate to object storage check pict-rs docs here: git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs.git#user-content-fi…

Took about 20 minutes for me with 30gb of files, but your instance has to be down for it. I use Cloudflare R2 for pict-rs.

howdy ,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Thank you very much. Seriously, that lays it all out perfectly. I was looking at the pict-rs docs for how to switch but then work called… so I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. 🙌 🍾 🎉 🥂

bdonvr ,

No problem

Oh and for those scripts the user needs paswordless sudo and needs to be part of the docker group, or you could add it to root’s cron tab. Or maybe a systemd task. (Since the default ansible deploy of lemmy makes the pict-rs volume not readable by a normal system user)

howdy ,
@howdy@thesimplecorner.org avatar

Finally got my stuff moved over to object storage. I really appreciate it. It wasn’t hard at all!

It’s a good thing it’s a virtual server. I can’t imagine the issues you would have if you hosted it from the back of your truck.

Hosting from the back of a truck would be a technological marvel in its own right.

It’s possible, but just expensive and unreliable mainly due to internet connection/bandwidth. Depending on where you are you can either go with a sim card or Elon’s space junk but the connection would be unreliable and slow.

bdonvr ,

Lmao I’m home every night now (local)

I do host some things at my house, but just for personal use. I don’t need a public site running on my home network.

awesome, I love technology accessibility

jaschen ,

You’re in the wrong field, my man. I sit at a chair 60 hours a week staring into a empty void that is my monitor. Wait, maybe we are not really that different after all.

bdonvr ,

I just really don’t know how to get in, while living in central Florida, with no degree, while not taking a pay cut which I can’t afford as the sole earner in my household :/

thefury ,

If you’re thinking about shifting careers, I’ve been there. I started as a self-learner with no degree, before the ease of joining a freelance service was a thing. My starting point was a small firm where I did tech support for the coders. I got involved in automation projects and gradually built trust by proving I could deliver what I promised.

I think that the core principles I learned remain valid today: Learn by doing projects, learn in public, and be patient.

If I was starting again, and if I didn’t have a job next to the right people, I’d probably do the following. Start with creating useful projects. Treat these as opportunities to learn and simulate real job conditions. If your work involves coding, share it on GitHub. If it’s about building infrastructure, treat it as Infrastructure as Code and share it on GitHub. If it’s not code-related, or even if it is, document your work and what you’ve learned on a blog.

Regardless of your project’s nature, make sure to record your learnings and pass on your knowledge. It helps reinforce your understanding and it gives you something to point to during interviews.

nosurf ,

With that said, i think it is the hardest it has ever been in this industry to get a job in tech. If im being honest i think a lot of these stories are giving false hope at this point. It may turn around, but right now its tough out here

whereisk ,

It makes sense! Lemmy servers are new and still gaining stability. You’re also not paying (not even with your data) so you can be more forgiving
