  • I just got burned by accidental latest tag on a pg container for Nextcloud. They moved some paths internally and it could no longer find the db.

  • This is a reminder for self-hosters to put their apps (and their data) on snapshotting filesystems with automatic, regular snapahots turned on; and fix the app versions to at least the major version, across all containers. This should bring similar disruption to bare minimum and makes recovery always possible, without relying on specific app backup features.

  • You can get it to run at time intervals. E.g. once an hour for 5 minutes. That's not bad on battery for me. I actually have mine once every 24 hours for 30 minutes so it can successfully transfer a few gigs of Signal backups.

  • Welp I guess there's another piece of software I have to setup now.. 😄

  • TIL

  • The way I see (Mozilla) Firefox is a project whose devekopment is funded by its competitor - (Google/Alphabet) Chrome - so that there's plausible deniability against anti-trust enforcement, the kinds of which Microsoft was subjected to some decades ago. I don't think it's a self-sustaining community project like say Debian is. Still use it over Chromium. Funnily, Chromium is a descendent of an organic community project - KHTML - that got extended and eventually taken over by our friendly familiar corporations.

  • Nothing. Still use it to present day. I generally trust the selection of OS software to the distro developers - Debian and Ubuntu for me. We constantly use software that doesn't perfecty fit our requirements or wants.

  • Got. Thanks!

  • What does this active parameters business about? Is it supposed to perform similar to much bigger models at the same RAM usage?

  • Keep talking Alex.

  • Cowon D2 brigade

  • We've played this game with browser engines and we find ourselves in a world with no viable community-controlled browser.

    Read a thread on rust forum about this and my impression is that most folks fall in two ideological categories. Either "No politic here" or some form of libertarianism. I understand where both come from as I've gone through some form of either, and I think both are transitional for many people. I used to roll my eyes hard at people making license arguments. We're past the point where tech corporations were playing nice with people. As they keep shitting on products and take more and more of people's work without returning anything, more and more people from those two camps would come to the realization that everything is political and the social infrastructure of open source - the infrastructure that gets more people to do labour for a project - is what creates and keeps open source alive over the long haul. The excitement that a new language or framewwok creates is fleeting. The GPL-MIT/BSD/Apache/etc divide isn't so much one of exact guarantees and legal rights, it is some of that, but more importantly it's a political statement of intent.

  • Replace a perfectly usable GPL software for MIT? Nope. I used to fall for that ten years ago. The social infrastructure of software is more important than the exact tech used. The license is fundamental to that.

  • Private US corp. Used by various gov'ts around the world, the US included. It's how gov'ts can both "not spy on their citizens" while end up having the ability to do so and use the info - by buying it from a private corpo.

  • At this point any US org or system gathering information on non-cis people might be feeding into Palantir's systems for repression use.

  • I want to do the downvote thing but I can't help but upvote this low reputation comment...
