Who knew their answer would be “the cloud”!

YurkshireLad ,

I’ve been using Debian with Cinnamon desktop for a while. I tried XFCE but it didn’t click and I really disliked how you added an app launcher to the dock. Cinnamon gets out of my and just works for the little that I need.

Are they now flashing targeted ads in Morse code while you wait?

YurkshireLad OP ,

Not quite. I’m trying to setup a group to let all users access the same folder. I created a folder called Family (I think it set its path to /Family. I’m away from the pc so I’ll grab it later). Then I created a group called Family and mounted the folder in it. But I wasn’t sure what paths to use for the group.

YurkshireLad OP ,

Ah thanks!! I hadn’t set the group home dir properly. I guess I don’t understand what that’s supposed to represent. I assumed it would include the group name somehow, but I set it to. /srv/sftpgo/data/%username% and it works.

YurkshireLad OP ,

I created another group and hit the same problem. I had to restart the docker container before it worked. Odd.

YurkshireLad OP ,

Haha! When I first learned about SFTPGo it took me a while to not include a “2”!

It wouldn’t have happened if everyone present had been armed with an AK-47 and a bazooka.

YurkshireLad ,

Clippy: it looks like you are trying to prevent a nuclear meltdown….

Oh yes, what could go wrong. Windows can’t even run an advertising board without blue screening…

“The core is about to melt down! Hit the shutdown button!!” “I can’t, it’s installing updates!!!”

YurkshireLad ,

Damn, RIP

YurkshireLad ,

Waiting for the follow up story…

I want to visit Iceland some day and I’d rather pay their tax than pay to visit a tourist clogged Venice. So I’m not put off. Unless it’s incredibly expensive.

YurkshireLad ,

Minimum wage is simply the lowest full time salary a company can legally get away with paying. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’m primarily talking about large corporations that make millions and billions, yet claim they can’t afford to pay more than minimum wage.

Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot (www.businessinsider.com)

Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It’s putting those people in an awkward spot::Big Tech wants to bring back some of the workers it laid off. The decision might come down to how a company handled the layoffs.

YurkshireLad ,

If they no longer wanted you because investors told them to get rid of you, why would they care about you if you rejoined?

YurkshireLad ,

I learned Lisp at uni and hated it. Thankfully that was long enough ago that I’ve forgotten everything I learned about it.

YurkshireLad ,

F**k’s sake, what is happening to people?

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...

YurkshireLad ,

I ordered online and picked up in store at best buy without their app. I showed them the email they sent with the info. No problems at all.

YurkshireLad ,

That’s why I use the browser for pretty much everything.

YurkshireLad ,

My goodness, you’re right! 😁

I thought all best buys had the same policies for everything? Or do they differ between Canada and the US?

YurkshireLad ,

Also hosted on… GitHub! 😀

The CEO will probably sell the company and walk away with a ton of cash.

[Question] Am I the only dummy who likes Seafile?

Its stupid fast, reliable, and rarely has any conflicts. If it does it seems to work them out without intervention. I’ve tried Nextcloud including the AIO image and its just so clunky and slow. I was getting sync errors just on the simple Notes apps. Repeatedly. I mean I get why people like it, it can do way more than Seafile....

YurkshireLad ,

Damn, I didn’t know about this. I was about to install it this weekend to check it out.

Are there any alternatives (excluding NextCloud as I don’t need it’s 1000 features) that provide mobile apps?

YurkshireLad ,

It’s like the start of a terrifying science fiction movie where things are about to go horribly, horribly wrong.

Your cat has that “don’t…. say…… a…… single…. word….” look.

When $98B revenue isn’t enough….

The loss of dark skies is so painful, astronomers coined a new term for it (www.space.com)

Given the harmful effects of light pollution, a pair of astronomers has coined a new term to help focus efforts to combat it. Their term, as reported in a brief paper in the preprint database arXiv and a letter to the journal Science, is “noctalgia.” In general, it means “sky grief,” and it captures the collective pain...

YurkshireLad ,

It’s shocking how many lights are left on during the night in a city or a built up area. Does a big box store need to keep its logo lit all night? We’re so desperate to shut out the beauty of the planet and blind ourselves with human made ugliness.

YurkshireLad ,

Did he also update his resume, book a moving company and buy a first class plane ticket?

YurkshireLad ,

Isn’t that what executives usually do?

YurkshireLad ,

That would be nice, especially if it were by a lake or ocean, but I’d have to hire someone to mow the lawn.

YurkshireLad ,

You know you’re a bad human being when Putin praises you.

YurkshireLad OP ,

Thanks all. The shift+F10 trick worked, despite my attempts at mistyping the command.

YurkshireLad OP ,

Fair point but my games only run on windows.

YurkshireLad OP ,

I’ll probably install a second SSD for Linux so I can dual boot for development.

YurkshireLad ,

I’ve been trying to get compensation from AC for over a month for a suitcase that was lost for our whole trip. No one will reply. I’ll have to open a report with CTA.

YurkshireLad ,

So he’s going to sue google then?

YurkshireLad ,

Just like google promised to not be evil?

YurkshireLad ,

Nope, google home assistant thingy still listens and saves things you talk about. My wife and I occasionally have conversations, and the next time she uses her android phone, it shows her ads for whatever it ismwenwere talking about. When this happens, her phone isn’t in the room, though I’m sure that may also listen.

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...

YurkshireLad ,

The best advice of keeping moving has already been suggested, but buy a real book, and maybe a crossword or other such like. Avoid technology.

YurkshireLad ,

I started listening to the Self Hosted show last week, really enjoying it.

Push To Strip Fox’s Broadcast License Over Election Lies Gains New Momentum (abovethelaw.com)

Last July, we noted how media reform activists had petitioned the FCC to revoke Fox News’ local broadcast license in Philadelphia. More specifically, the group argued that Fox News’ rampant election fraud propaganda technically violated the “character clause” embedded in the Communications Act the FCC is supposed to use...

YurkshireLad ,

Republicans will claim this is further proof they’re being illegally silenced, their supporters will lap it up and rage hate online. And the divide will ever grow wider.

Reddit users are reporting Christian websites for violating Virginia's new porn identification law, citing vulgar passages in the Bible (www.insider.com)

As more and more states pass laws targeting "pornographic material" in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

YurkshireLad ,

You definitely win the internet with this comment.

In all fairness, my cheap Brother laser printer hasn’t let me down at all. Unlike the HP inkjets of the past.

I’m pretty sure he can log in with his school account. He should be able to access everything he needs. My daughter has my old Chromebook and she logs in with her school account or personal account.

Silicon Valley elites revealed as buyers of $800m of land to build utopian city (www.theguardian.com)

After weeks of local speculation, the purchasers of 55,000 acres of northern California land have been revealed. The group Flannery Associates – backed by a cohort of Silicon Valley investors – has quietly purchased $800m worth of agricultural and empty land, the New York Times has reported. Their goal is to build a utopian...

YurkshireLad ,

Ah thanks, I missed that fact.

YurkshireLad ,

Definitely the content of each request, otherwise you won’t know why your server is being hit. Use wireshark if necessary. Or there’s a command line utility to do the same thing but I can’t remember it’s name right now.

YurkshireLad OP ,

It would be 2 or 3 people max.
