  • xkcd #3253: Sunbeam

    Jump

  • Wow... finally one I don't understand.

    The thing about waether control in funny (or sad - depending on perspective^), but what is the point about knowing in which direction the sun moves? Doesn't everyone learn that in the first years of their life?

  • Systemd v261-rc1 is out with the 'birth date field'

    Jump

  • Wait? Aren't we also boykotting passwd because it has an optional field for your complete real name?

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • Occasionally I need to run an “occ” command after an install to fix some indexes

    That then fails and breaks it (in about 1 out of 3 cases). Which requires rolling back everything, running the commands again pre-update, then updating and praying to not have to do another re-install (~ 1 out of 5).

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • I actually moved away from classical self-hosted cloud storage solutions after trying the usual suspects like opencloud, nextcloud etc.

    And for me the time and effort (also the ressource-hogging if you don't use quite overpowered servers) just weren't worth it. Not when the used interfaces most of the time are open standards anyway and simpler solutions do the job:

    Radicale for contacts and dates via a webdav subset. Webdav concidently being widely supported for integrating online storage into any filesystem (or as the backend for several other things like for example syncing my bookmarks over several devices and browsers). SFTP or the million tools being just a frontend for it.

    One shiny platform like for example Nextcloud to do it all might be nice for a lot of users when they have someone dedicated to maintain it. But for selfhosting (as in: mainly for myself) the constant attention needed to fix stuff was quite tedious.

    When I think of "Google Drive" or "Dropbox" alternatives nowadays it's just a drive hooked up to some low-spec device and accessed via one (or several) already existing open standards.

    (Bonus point: that lost phone is simply cut off by deleting its keys - unlike so many dedicated platform where you have to manage -if you even can- multiple dedicated users and their rights just to easily separate your personal access from your devices that are by design not all equally secure.)

  • Who’s on first

    Yes, he is.

  • Meme

    Jump

  • That sadly only works for the limited number of people with a working brain.

    The amount of idiots that vote far-right to get the left policies the left never in power did thus not deliver is insane. Those people will also scream in your face about fake news or even get aggressive if you read straight from their populist party's programs, because the brain rot they consume says otherwise.

  • Block your ads

    Jump

  • Most ads are gone when your DNS blocks them anyway. Can't you change your DNS on iPhones? Preferably to secure ones, too.

  • Linux 7.2 To Support Realtek RTL8159 10GbE USB Ethernet

    Jump

  • If only there was a difference between out-of-tree and kernel modules for Realtek's network stuff, but the driver quality and performance is most of the time abyssal anyway.

  • Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - CVE similar to Copy Fail

    Jump

  • And already patched in mainline.

    Let's see how many hours it takes for backports to all generally supported versions in common distros.

  • Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - allows any unprivileged local user to gain root access on a vulnerable Linux system - no patch available

    Jump

  • Update: Kernel 7.0.5 just released

    Fixes: cac2661c53f3 ("esp4: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")

    Fixes: 03e2a30f6a27 ("esp6: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")

    Fixes: 7da0dde68486 ("ip, udp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES")

    Fixes: 6d8192bd69bb ("ip6, udp6: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES")

  • Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - allows any unprivileged local user to gain root access on a vulnerable Linux system - no patch available

    Jump

  • That may be true for private machines, but having user access to a machine, yet not be allowed admin rights is not actually a rare setup in the wild (read: servers... where the actual money is, not on that boring thing sitting under your desk)

  • xkcd #3241: Horizontal Stabilizers

    Jump

  • But if you understand how a lever works they can be really useful...

  • GNOME is good, actually [GNOME customization guide]

    Jump

  • Gnome is good for people who like their philosohy and design and opt for less customisation. That's enough.

    Pretending that Gnome is good because you can customise it with just these few tools (that will totally not break with every upgrade) however is stupid and in line with "look Windows is totally okay after you spend 12 hours with tweaking the install with these 3rd party tools".

  • 4 what? Apples? Oranges?

  • Wonder why?

    Jump

  • Yes, but that's entirely missing the point here.

    Drug research and development takes decades until final approval. If there is a decrease in the US (or an increase in China), you need to look for cuts (or additional investments) in the early 2000s.

    The damage this idiot has done will not be visible for quite some time...

  • Proton Experimental now based on Proton 11

    Jump

  • Would be nice to leave all the legacy 32bit stuff behind then...

    But seeing the mess that is the Steam App on Linux, that will probably take another decade.

  • tech never works for long

    Jump

  • Smart locks have got to be at least a slight improvent, right?

    Yes.

    With a heavy focus on "slight"...

  • It's self hosting Sunday! What's up selfhosters? Infrastructure edition

    Jump

  • If it wast just AI, but the idiotic crawlers everywhere are getting worse by the day it feels.

    I still have some ancient RPi running a basic homepage with some reverse proxies. A few weeks ago and after stopping to care about that thing years ago I realized that the access log that was just happily sitting there for years without getting to relevant sizes has suddenly grown by nearly 1GB, most of it in the last 6-8 months because I never bothered to set up logrotate.

    But hey... I wanted to test setting up Anubis for quite some time. So now I can watch them run circles in the (still experimental) honeypot feature reading pages and pages of non-sensical babbling 😂

  • rust blasphemy (added context)

  • So a narrow but clear win for the Rust compiler still...
