Servers are terrible for homelab use. They’re unwieldy, consume way too much power and as you’ve found they’re very noisy. My vote goes to selling the thing and getting a mini PC, an (old) laptop or building something quiet and frugal yourself. In the last case you might be able to reuse some parts you already have. But if cost is important almost nothing beats second hand mini PC’s in value for money.

SnapRAID offers an additional benefit over real RAID-like systems: it functions as a short-term backup. If you sync it daily like I do, that means that if you accidentally delete a bunch of files (old enough to have been synced, I.e. older than one day in my case) you can restore them from the SnapRAID parity.

The reverse is also true of course: if you lose a disk you also lose today’s changes to that data. So it’s most suited to large collections of rarely changing stuff like photos and videos and music IMHO.

Official Podman Quadlet files? Me likey!

Well, not shooting them down should probably count as a service these days.

I’ve been using IPv6 for more than 20 years, and I can’t say that about nuclear fusion.

Depends. There are a few things I update by hand, but as long as you have proper backups it’s generally safer to run the latest versions of things automatically if you don’t mind the possibility of breakage (which is very rare in my experience). This is in the context of self-hosting of course, not a business environment.

Yeah only for :latest containers, that’s true. It automatically runs a daily service to check whether there are newer images available. You can turn it off per container if you don’t want it.

One of the nice things about it is that I have containers running under several different users (for security reasons) so that saves me a lot of effort switching to all these users all the time.

Podman automatically updates my containers for me.

I don’t think most European countries have juries. Judging should be done by people who are qualified to do so, i.e. judges.

While Belgium does have mandatory voting, most other countries do not.

A recommendation for Moonrise Kingdom based on Mickey 17? The genres might match, but those are totally different movies.

They all have, most comments in here misunderstand the situation. This is about cleaning up the mess afterwards.

Contrary to what the other comments seem to suggest all the big European truck makers have good electric truck options that are already being sold and used. This isn’t about innovation, it’s about price. The Chinese trucks aren’t better, they’re cheaper. In fact, the Windrose truck seems very much worse than the European options for the truck driver, as it’s useability isn’t great. But that’s because it’s designed to be cheap, with the drivers seat in the middle for example, so they can sell the same model in right hand drive and left hand drive markets. So this isn’t about truck makers who have been sleeping, it’s about truck makers suddenly being confronted with prices they simply can’t compete with.

The point is signaling to other people that it’s not worth their time. I sort by new so I often see these slop posts as well, but other readers very quickly downvote it into oblivion so if a post is older than say 15 minutes I generally will know not to read it even if it sounds interesting at first glance. A mod will come by later to actually delete it if that’s warranted, but until then downvotes suffice.

Tl;dw is that sure, the US could withhold software updates and sure, NL could do their own software thing, but there is a whole intelligence software thing too that makes it harder. And ultimately if the US stops supplying new parts the existing planes are quickly dead in the water anyway. So it’s a short-term solution at best.

It does, I’m posting from Thunder right now, and there are more. But it’s not at the same number of apps as Lemmy yet.

Yes, those go to the “unsubscribe” folder, so I read them less often than my normal mail.

Regardless of which e-mail service you end up using, I find that an incredible simple rule to filter all e-mail with the word “unsubscribe” in it’s body to another folder saves your sanity. It’s still a folder you should go through a few times a week to read all the newsletters and shit you’re subscribed to, and sometimes the occasional false positive, but your inbox will mostly contain e-mail you actually want to read. I have another rule that filters mail from specific senders that I want to read immediately to my Inbox before it hits the unsubscribe rule, but those exceptions are uncommon enough (I only have 7 after years of doing this) to not take much work.

Right wingers have already lost most of the gains they made in most EU countries. There is a pattern where right wing parties gain enough votes to get into parliament, fuck it up massively and then lose again in the next election. So far only Meloni in Italy seems to be doing well. So they can scream all they want, but that doesn’t mean they’ll get anywhere.

Brexit was a pretty good example of how incredibly dumb that is. Efforts in other EU countries to garner similar sentiments have largely failed IMHO, so I don’t think this is a credible threat.

Obviously fuckheads are responsible for their own degenerate behaviour. But there’s a lot more to this then just some random fuckheads being fuckheads. The reason this night was worse than any other we’ve had in history was because the perfect circumstances were created for maximum fuckery. And those circumstances were created by our government. They were warned countless times by many different groups that this was the worst possible way to go about doing things and they stuck their heads in the sand and did it anyway.

The whole existence of fuckheads is one of the reasons we have a government in the first place. It’s their job to keep our society functioning as best as possible even though fuckheads exists. And they definitely failed to do their job this time.
