I know something better and it’s solar powered: Trees!

ChrislyBear ,

Initally some local site, then I transferred to GoDaddy, then to OVH (since GD is shit). One is still at Cloudflare (tried to move there, but they don’t support al TLDs that I use, like “.eu”).

For DNS I use Cloudflare. They provide a layer of privacy, i.e. your server IPs don’t get exposed directly.

ChrislyBear ,

Is this possible? I’ve heard, that no matter what you do as an expat you’ll always have to file taxes for the US IRS.

From the point of view of the US, is renouncing citizenship even a thing? For Turkey for example it is not. You just can’t “delete” your Turkish citizenship.

I recently started using github.com/immich-app/immich

It’s basically a self hosted Google Photos and it’s working really well. You can just mount your heap of photos into the container, declare it as external library and you’re good to go.

After a few hours/days of training the face recognition, extracting meta data, generating thumbnails ans possibly transcoding videos you’ll have a very responsive and easily searchable timeline of ALL your pictures and videos.

ChrislyBear ,

Let’s be honest, there are ONLY dudes on Lemmy.

ChrislyBear OP ,

I did the whole “GDPR, delete my stuff dance”. They replied with “you have to delete your posts yourself”. I didn’t budge, gave them the required 30 day ultimatum, but they gave zero fucks.

ChrislyBear OP ,

Will do! Just a moment…

ChrislyBear ,

They do, in the EU. If you fuck up your customer’s data, you’ll face fines consisting of hefty percentages of your yearly revenue!

ChrislyBear ,

This is just “fuck around and find out” on a larger scale. It’s what they wanted on October 7th: Now they have their holy war. Might as well enjoy it; 72 virgins surely are already waiting.

ChrislyBear ,

VPN limiting your bandwidth? Sounds like a CPU issue. You’ll be surprised how much CPU overhead it takes to encrypt and decrypt traffic at such high speeds.

ChrislyBear ,

They LET us KEEP our data… so they’re NOT (yet) using their market power to do what they want?

I think this headline got it wrong: If MS wants to do business with Europe, they have to follow our privacy laws or face hufe fines and ultimately the boot (which would benefit nobody).

ChrislyBear ,

For a meal with a soup as a starter you’d set the table like this:

Fork, plate, knife, spoon

Now take away the plate and you have the, for ne most logical way of putting cutlery into the drawer.

ChrislyBear ,

This asshat is also just beating around the performance bush that doesn’t exist, only to avoid calling the firing a layoff. Disgusting.

ChrislyBear ,

They ALL are on green screen. There isn’t anyone int his video present “in person”!

ChrislyBear ,

to piss time and money away commuting

So much this! Why is it OK for us to waste our most valuable resource, time?? If you waste company time or assets, you’ll be fired.

ChrislyBear ,

Evidence, that something doesn’t exist?

Here: …

You can also use this evidence freely to prove, that you didn’t receive the package that you ordered.

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like [email protected] or [email protected]. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

ChrislyBear ,

Do NOT self-host email! In the long run, you’ll forget a security patch, someone breaches your server, blasts out spam and you’ll end up on every blacklist imaginable with your domain and server.

Buy a domain, DON’T use GoDaddy, they are bastards. I’d suggest OVH for European domains or Cloudflare for international ones.

After you have your domain, register with “Microsoft 365” or “Google Workspace” (I’d avoid Google, they don’t have a stable offering) or any other E-Mail-Provider that allows custom domains.

Follow their instructions on how to connect your domain to their service (a few MX and TXT records usually suffice) and you’re done.

After that, you can spin up a VPS and try out new stuff and connect it also to your domain (A and CNAMR records).

ChrislyBear ,

I mean, they kill services willy nilly. Sure Gmail will probably survive, but the rest drove me away (Reader, Music, …).

Regarding your Android purchases: At the time of my move I went through my list of apps I bought and tallied the ones up, that I still used. It was less than $50 of repurchases.

Don’t let those old purchases hold you back. Cut this old baggage loose.

ChrislyBear ,

I did as well, but then I went Microsoft and never looked back. Google’s platform still feels like a shitty startup with missing stuff everywhere, compared to Azure (or AWS).

The only thing I’m missing is Google Photos, but there are self-hosted alternatives out, that I’ll try soon.

ChrislyBear ,

One warning, though: After moving, you’ll probably need another Google account again, to use the Play Store… it sucks.

ChrislyBear ,

So if I look at a painting study it and then emulate the original painter’s artstyle, then I’m in breach of their copyright?

Or if I read a lot of fantasy like GRRM or JK Rowling and I also write a fantasy book and say, that they were my Inspiration, I’m breaching their copyright??

That’s not how it works, and if it is, it shouldn’t be!

Sure, if a start reproducing work, i.e. plagiarizing the work of others, then I’m doing sth wrong.

And to spin this further: If I raise a child on children’s books by a specific author, am I breaching copyright, when my child enters the workforce and starts to earn money??? Stupid, yes! But so are the copyright claims against LLMs, in my opinion.

ChrislyBear ,

A self-hostes RSS reader? Probably the ability to read your stuff from anywhere without installing something. Like on your work PC… ;)

ChrislyBear ,

Media Server? No content backup at all.

If you lose everything, just download new stuff you want to watch, or redownload a few TV series/movies.

Music? There are streaming services.

Only backup configurations and maybe application data, so that the reinstall will be easy. Those few kB/MB could sit anywhere. I’m using GitLab for this purpose.

Edit: Images! If you have your photos on there, back them up! They can’t be replaced!

USA Will Invest in High-Speed ​​Train to Fight Climate Change (www.raillynews.com)

USA Will Invest in High-Speed ​​Train to Fight Climate Change::The USA Will Invest in High-Speed ​​Train to Fight Climate Change - US President Joe Biden announced in a speech on December 9, 2023 that they are carrying out the first high-speed train projects in US history. These projects are across America

ChrislyBear ,

What about rails? You need rails first. Who is providing the land where rails will be built on?

But yeah, trains it is!

ChrislyBear ,

If a woman showed interest (lolol), I’d unironically be inclined to ask her who she works for…

There’s no hope for me anymore.

ChrislyBear ,

Not at all. I’m in bed and what I’m wearing is destined for the laundry basket.

ChrislyBear ,

Do you run your PiHole on top of Docker? There’s an issue with docker and Raspberry Pis which makes the network crap out periodically. So if your PuHole becomes unavailable until you restart your Pi it might be this:

github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4092/

Solution is to add “denyinterfaces veth*” to the dhcpd.conf

ChrislyBear ,

Hahaha! I’m keeping this typo 😂

ChrislyBear ,

I have had this issue for about a year, while trying different monitoring and logging solutions to try and find out what’s going on.

This was such a bitch! Now I’m spreading the word, so that other won’t suffer as long as I have.

ChrislyBear ,

Yes, in the EU, they have to comply within a month. If they don’t you’ll take it to your countries data protection ombudsman.

ChrislyBear ,

That’s voice chat, i.e. chat rooms and group conversations.

The “calling” feature is missing though. You can’t get the attention of someone who isn’t currently active on the server.

ChrislyBear ,

Wow so dumb! Yes, fuck progress and fuck nuclear energy! Let’s burn coal again like in the dark ages!

ChrislyBear ,

Yes! I have read OPs comment and just thought to myself: “No filter, either 0% or 100% engagement, nothing in-between… sounds like ADHD”

OP, get yourself checked out, there’s medication that helps you dialing down your “participation”. You always go full throttle, and these pills probably help to find those “thottle values” between all-the-way and isolation.

ChrislyBear ,

LOL

I’m not sure why it’s a hassle?

Continues to explain how it is a hassle (syncthing, fork, raspberry pi, …)

Btw. there’s pretty good autotype for Bitwarden/Valutwarden and I find it at least on par with the KeePass feature. You don’t even need to install the full blown client for it to work! github.com/anonymous1184/bitwarden-autotype

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to...

ChrislyBear ,

And furthermore: Most of these shitty apps are nothing more than overblown API clients. Which means they didn’t want to build a website and operate a webserver, so instead you provide the processing power for the UI yourself. These apps usually can’t do anything on their own, if you are offline, becaue all the value is generated remotely by the actual server.

The modern software experience sucks much!

ChrislyBear ,

So as a driver I have now a filter for better rape and murder victims? Nice!

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

ChrislyBear ,

4 days on-site, same pay, same 40 hours per week? No. I don’t work 10hrs a day + 2hrs of driving. So 5 days remote in this case!

4 days on-site, same pay, 32 hours per week? Sure, why not? I’ll use the driving time with audio books or reading during a train commute.

ChrislyBear ,

“claw back the raises”??

What? How? At least in my country an employer cannot unilaterally worsen a contract for the employee. You don’t have to agree to less pay and they’ll be bound by the original agreement. Sure an employer could “fire and rehire” you, but you also don’t have to agree to the rehiring.

If they do that you’ll get full unemployment, probably some severance and they are instantly a worker short.

ChrislyBear , (edited )

Really? I don’t think so!

In absolute values, sure, but They didn’t adjust for the difference in purchasing power between India and the US. Yes, the purported INR 6,150,000,000.- can be converted directly into USD 74,400,732.- using the current exchange rate of INR 82.66 for USD 1.

BUT, if you take into account the difference in purchasing power of the two economies and use a conversion rate that eliminates the differences in price levels between countries (data.oecd.org/…/purchasing-power-parities-ppp.htm, 24.059 between India and US in 2022) then INR 6,150,000,000.- come out to be equal to USD 255,621,597! This value you can now compare to the production cost of movies in the US etc.

But what can you expect from those young “journalists” from the independent… they should be ashamed of themselves.

Edit: You could also take the Big mac index and compare it (www.economist.com/big-mac-index) and the 75 million would become about 165 million.

ChrislyBear ,

Purchasing power refers to how much goods you can buy with your currency. As you can imagine you can buy less with 100$ in the US than in India, where everything is cheaper. If you take purchasing power into account you convert everything into a “standard amount of stuff”. And using a conversion based on “the same stuff” you’ll get a different currency conversion factor.

India achieves their goal still very economically, but it’s not 75mil, it’s 255mil. The equivalent amount of stuff that costs INR 6.15billion if you buy it in India costs USD 255million if you buy it in the US.

ChrislyBear ,

Yes, exactly.

ChrislyBear ,

I think it was Tetris on the GameBoy, then Super Mario Land 2 and Kirby’s Dreamland.

After the mandatory army service I stopped, studied and began gaming again with Portal 1&2.

ChrislyBear ,

The old fish costs $3.92 per 100g, the new fish $5. That’s a price increase of (255/200 - 1) = 27.5%. The difference per gram (which isn’t of interest to anybody) is 5-3.92, i.e. ¢1.08. Which also equates to a (5/3.92 - 1) = 27.5% increase.

Not sure what you were calculating, but every result was wrong.

ChrislyBear ,

In pieces, sure. But the old pack contained 255g of fish and the new one contains 200g ;)

ChrislyBear ,

Yes, I’m going to tell you about the 4-5 girls, that were/will be interested in you but you were/will be to dumb to notice. Stay calm, be yourself and take a little initiative. It’ll be alright!

ChrislyBear ,

One option would be to allow the migrated users to setup a mail forwarder for free. If you don’t pay you can only access the forwarder configuration, which would be enough for most use cases.

ChrislyBear ,

It’s not the art that you buy, it’s the “original URL” that belongs to you. You buy a treasure map leading to a princess. It’s your princess, that’s what is says on the napkin, but everyone can fuck her.
