Watch out for direct injected cars, which is virtually all of them now except for electrics. Many don't have traditional fuel injectors in the intake manifold anymore, and because of poor PCV systems, oil vapor carbonizes on the intake valves, causing problems. This is generally around the 40k-50k mile mark, potentially sooner if people don't drive their cars on the freeway for extended periods after startup. Some newer cars have addresses this by adding supplemental fuel injectors in the intake (some audis, some Toyotas) but it's not a widespread practice, of it will ever be.

Systems with exposed SSHd, but also properly configured, are also not at risk.

Install Ubuntu and be done. I'm able to print to my brother network printer with no special drivers. I installed a gnome tweaks package to do some minor tweaks in gnome, and I did rip out the Firefox snap thing to install Firefox from a package so I could use my kpxc plugin, but that's the only major change I made. Hell, Dell (laptop) even provides firmware updates via the package manager so your bios gets updated properly. Best Linux desktop experience I've ever had over the past 5 years and I've been daily driving Ubuntu since 2004.

OS/2 was the first multitasking operating system I ever used. Ran my RemoteAcces BBS on it. I might have to do a site backup just to be nostalgic.

I was thinking more along the lines of Megasquirt, but for a printer.

[-] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

We need a properly-open sourced printer at this point.

Not enough info. Those are two different things.

It's an entirely closed source, proprietary codebase, run by a for-profit company where you have little control over anything. These corporations don't care about actual users and they will leave you high and dry. There is a reason people still use IRC - it's open, easy to connect to and has been around for literal decades. Remember CompuServe? AOL? AIM? ICQ? Google Chat shutting it's doors to xmpp? If so, you understand the pattern. It's about walled gardens and blocking interoperability. The industry doesn't need more of that. We are chatting on an open source link aggregation site because bean counters at Reddit decided to shut off APIs to existing apps arbitrarily.

The matrix stack solves most of those problems by providing an open source codebase and protocol, easy to connect to solution that is akin to Slack. I am fortunate enough to not have to use discord much beyond checking on a class schedule and downloading some sheet music, so I will never be a discord power user. Maybe some there is crazy awesome feature that discord provides that no open source platform does, but I have some serious doubts about that.

[-] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Matrix stack would be the 21st century equivalent. Discord is just another Skype - entirely a proprietary product that you don't operate yourself. Fine for corporate use where people don't care about longevity because it's not their problem or interest, but trash for everything else.

We do it for animals but we hesitate for humans. Truly pathetic.

Watched my mom die from terminal cancer of the liver and she suffered terribly. Looked like she was ready to give birth when her heart finally stopped. My sibling is a hardcore Christian and when my mom asked about assisted suicide, sibling expressed her uselessly ignorant point of view, explaining that she wouldn't be able to be there to "inject" her. Needless to say, that's not how it happens.

People shouldn't be made to suffer, and fuck religious people that push that horseshit dogma on others. Had to hear my mom cry, questioning her faith that if God existed, why would he make people suffer like this. It was terrible.

That goes for some oncologists, too. My mother's liver was completely destroyed (that they somehow didn't notice while she was in chemo for her breast cancer) and the oncologist wanted to continue treating her. Another doctor, who broke the news to us and showed us the images of her liver, came to our defense and tore that oncologist a new one. That was already after the first round of chemo had started and Mom was basically incoherent. I had watched her handle chemo the first time around like a champion. This time, it practically killed her. Had she kept doing chemo, she would have died much faster and it would have been terrible.

I don't know what else to say. Fuck cancer, fuck religious dogma and fuck physicians that don't keep the patients best interests at heart.

What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?

I currently leave my nextcloud exposed to the Internet. It runs in a VM behind an nginx reverse proxy on the VM itself, and then my OPNSense router runs nginx with WAF rules. I enforce 2fa and don't allow sign-ups.

My goal is protecting against ransomware and zerodays (as much as possible). I don't do random clicking on links in emails or anything like that, but I'm not sure how people get hit with ransomware. I keep nextcloud updated (subscribed to RSS update feed) frequently and the VM updates everyday and reboots when necessary. I'm running the latest php-fpm and that just comes from repos so it gets updated too. HTTPS on the lan with certificates maintained by my router, and LE certs for the Internet side.

Beside hiding this thing behind a VPN (which I'm not prepared to do currently), is there anything else I'm overlooking?

I have a P400 in my storage server which currently also runs some media containers like Plex, sonarr-sma, radarr-sma, Jellyfin, exploring Immich, etc. I have the GPU surfaced via docker and added it to each of the containers that needed access to the GPU for hardware acceleration needs. Is it possible to be able to leverage the Nvidia gpu container remotely (over the lan) without having the containers access it (pseudo) directly? I want to move the media handling containers to a Turing Pi 2 and keep just the GPU access on the storage server.

Anyone done this? Got a set of repeatable instructions? My understanding is that the root docker image needs to switch from alpine to ubuntu and that hasn't happened yet.

How do you configure your webfingers to support multiple subdomains that host AP services?

I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com. However, I also run mastodon.example.com. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have your webfingers setup when you run multiple activitypub-based services?

Edit: I should also add that I'm trying to tie my mastodon account to user@domain.tld, not specific to the mastodon subdomain, but specific to my user email identity. My mastodon domain would be sometime like mastodon.domain.com, which would normally make my user user@mastodon.domain.com.

I do see this as a potential solution - I could route the specific service based on user agent to the correct webfinger: https://serverfault.com/questions/775463/nginx-redirect-based-on-user-agent#825725

So here is the issue on github:

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3563

If folks have GitHub accounts, could you please bump this/thumbs up?

My background is backend development with Java and Kotlin for the last decade. I have a little bit of HTML/JS experience but I'm not a pro. I would like to build a modern Sierra game, of sorts.

I have no problem investing the time, it just seems overwhelming to jump into and while I've looked at a couple of tutorials, I still seem a bit mystified by the process.

I'm interested in multiplayer design and function twofold, as I'm intrigued at both how to make it work efficiently and the reasons some game companies claim their game servers cost millions a month to run and have to shut them off (looking at you, Gun Media).

Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

  • Discoverability?
  • Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
  • Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
  • Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)

I have some metal film 1/2w 2.2ohm resistors in some car wiring. I'm concerned about the durability of this install and am seeking advice on how to protect the resistor once it's soldered in place. The obvious is heat shrink tubing, but it's there anything more substantial?

I'll be using these resistors in a custom pigtail that will plug into the car wiring. 3D printed housing? I have tried searching and I haven't found anything like that.

How does this work? How do you host pixelfed.domain.com and mastodon.domain.com together in the same domain, with queries for "@user@domain.com" to the webfinger host path?

I'm other words, how does the querying application know which resource it needs? How do you know that a pixelfed instance will get the pixelfed resource versus the mastodon resource?
