  • Do you know a remote NAS backup solution without Tailscale?

    Jump

  • So Tailscale connection instability is not common? I don't like debugging this, since the NAS is remote and I don't have much time going to the family member again and again for this. It definitely is something on the remote site, since the tailscale connections at my home are stable.

    I will definitely have a look at Kopia. I was in search of a good open source backup solution, since borg also has its flaws. I will check it out, when I setup the remote NAS again (as I also want to put bigger disks in it)

  • Why are all services centralised?

    Jump

  • A server is measured by its availability. To read content from it, it has to be available. While everyone could use a dedicated always-on device, thats not really the situation you are describing. So you would run the software on your phone/notebook/PC. Those are not always available on the internet.

    If you post something to your 50 recipients (as you stated in another comment), they can only read it, if both of you are online. For asynchronous communication (like a post typically is), that is a lot to ask. Especially, if you want to have features like comments, that all your recipients can see.

    If you move away from the typical social media principle, then you can have truly decentralized messengers. I think, that already exists.

    Another problem with any decentralized approach is how to handle content moderation. It is necessary, since humans are messy. The more decentralized a system is, the harder it becomes to moderate. For example: How would you stop CSAM to be proliferated through it? Or even stop it to being send to you? If the software has some automatic replication feature to enhance availability, then this problem gets worse. Lemmy has had its own attacks with CSAM being posted to many servers. That can get you into legal trouble very fast.

  • Why do American authors who advocate for noble causes keep their books behind paywalls instead of releasing them online for free?

    Jump

  • I don't know how libraries work in the US. In germany most libraries are part of a network. They can get you any book, that one of the other libraries in the network have. You are not limited to what is available at the specific library. If its available in one of the many other libraries (like one of the big public state libraries) then you can get it. Though you might need to wait a bit.

  • Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm

    Jump

  • Ah, ok. That exlains it. It's really a shitty move. I guess no CEO or other high up manager in the US would do this differently. What a shit

  • Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm

    Jump

  • That's not union busting, is it? I understand the leadership problems, but we were talking about union busting specifically

  • I was speaking of union bustion actions in WMF. I already know about these law firms

  • Wikimedia Foundation refuses voluntary union recognition, hires union-busting law firm

  • including those laid off, since some are still hoping to find jobs elsewhere at the WMF, and others are depending on severance pay

    Am I too european to understand this? If they "get jobs elsewhere at the WMF" this is not a layoff, is it? I know the US has nearly no worker protections, so maybe that makes it a layoff. Do they need to interview for these positions again?

    If this were something other than Community Tech, maybe I could convince myself it's all just a coincidence. But the WMF has been on a generally upward trajectory at avoiding decisions that will piss off the entire community. "Don't disband CommTech" might as well be the "don't mess with the pancreas"of WMF governance. The only explanation for the WMF doing this—not just reörganizing but outright laying off the team—is that they are so determined to prevent the union from becoming official that they are willing to risk the massive community blowback (which, from a corporate-brain point of view, is a greater downside than the five people left jobless).

    That paragraph I don't understand. Why is union busting the only explanation?

    From one of the comments of that Reddit thread:

    the union was apparently formed exactly 90 days prior to the layoff announcement; under california state law (where they are located) “a termination within 90 days of protected union activity creates a rebuttable presumption that the termination was illegal retaliation”

    I think that is an interesting detail here, though I have not bothered to go through the sources for this.

  • Where they actually fired? From skimming your linked article it was more of a restructuring, moving them to different positions. The restructuring might be ill advised, though I could not find real information about any connection to the union topic, besides someone from the community claming that, without further information on that connection.

  • Do we have any direct signs of union busting? It seems these law firms do other things for WMF.

  • Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13?

    Jump

  • For proxmox on a VPS beware: Some hosters are using a kind of virtualization, that is more like a container instead of a VM. This means, that if you need kernel access (like changing active modules) you will fail. Proxmox probably won't run on such a VPS.

    Also: A VPS is already virtualized. Running nested VMs (some VMs on your Proxmos VM/VPS) will hurt the performance. Better stick to containers on a VPS.

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

  • Not federating at all would be a shame IMO. I'm really exited on this feature for git forges

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • Being able to self host a git forge was always possible, even before forgejo. Besides the gitea controversy I thought the federation to be the real killer feature.

    So I guess I have to wait a bit more for the federation.

  • [AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

    Jump

  • OOTL Wasn't there something about forgejos capabilities to federate? I had the impression, that it would go the fediverse route with many interacting instances. Then everyone can make their own rules. There are many reason to moderate repos. So why is this such a big thing (if forgejo federates as I remembered from the back of my head)?

  • This is not mandated at EU level afaik. Though I found this compare page. Though I'm not sure, what these number include. For example germany is listed as free, though you pay I think between 300 and 400€ per semester. Though that includes a public transport ticket for all of germany (Deutschlandticket). And of course no housing included.

  • Is it me or does Lemmy have a propaganda problem?

    Jump

  • Also often they would not need to pay anyone. Especially for cases like china or the US there are already enough people, that are so deep in the ideology, that they will do it in their free time. Lots of of such people everywhere.

  • What actual damage do you secure your servers against? Whats the attack vector?

    Jump

  • So, ever heard of the botnets based on thousands of private IoT devices, which executed severe DDOS attacks on many sites on the web?

    While we are all making compromises and secure our systems to different degrees, saying that a compromised system is not a disaster is way out there.

  • What books are your favourite and what are you reading now?

  • Oh, my SO also reads dark romance, but I want check that out. From what she told me about the dark romance books, that she reads, I really don't want to read them myself XD Just like I don't read splater or True Crime stories. I'm really at unease with all these dark stories women seem to like
