Personally, I’ve been enjoying cozy games like Dorfromantik, Rail Route, or even Transport Fever 2 (I just play with unlimited money and build great transit networks that I wish existed in my home country.)

The laptops are manufactured in Taiwan. There’s so much unpredictability in the tariffs so they’re delaying until it settles down. Tariffs are going to impact US companies and US residents.

Back in early 2024, I got a survey asking me why I chose to cancel my prime membership and I gave them multiple reasons.

The companion post, I Went To SQL Injection Court, goes into detail about the court process and witness testimony. One of the interesting things is just how different computer people think about security vs lawyers. Somebody might say that having a schema would help a malicious actor a small amount, and a lawyer will jump on that to deny the request. The idea that the schema would help a malicious actor is the same as a map helping a bank robber. The vault security and security guards are the relevant factors for this, not the map.

I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’m an expert witness in a computer case (based on this, I hope I’m not.)

In this context, SKU refers to a variant of this product. That is the correct acronym as I understand

Have you tried a packet capture with Wireshark or tcpdump to see what it’s doing? It might give better clues than a general error message.

I’m working on adding ActivityPub to my Hugo blog right now. I support RSS, but I figured AP support means that you can get it into your Mastodon feed or even Lemmy feed making it easy to follow. Additionally, commenting (assuming it doesn’t get taken over by spammers.)

Not all filtering is the same. Client side filtering requires more data to passed over the network that then just gets dropped. It also means rules that are not shared across devices.

Most importantly, these use CSS filters which are computationally more expensive because it has to take an entire DOM element, serialize it to text, string search it vs a server side filter that can just look at a one or two field variables. Even if it’s not filtered in SQL on Lemmy’s side I’d say it’s still more efficient overall.

You do what you want, but adding extra work on the client side is not what I’d want for my users. Of course, if your Lemmy instance does not supporting filtering, then this is moot.

And it’ll be faster and more efficient to do it server side as opposed to making uBlock Origin handle it.

I tried self hosting Pixelfed but gave up because it wouldn’t work. I’m used to Docker containers that are able to just start up by themselves, but the guide didn’t work for me. Maybe it’s time to try again.

This is a good idea. It’s a lot easier to incentivize a maintainer who is already familiar with a project and invested in it with some money than it is to get a person who is unfamiliar with a project.

How much you should donate and how likely they are to agree depends on how complex your request is, whether they feel it fits in with the project for other people, and how busy they are.

No, the cable isn’t going to implement the protocol. You need endpoints that are able to talk that protocol. That might be done with a firmware update or require new hardware.

I just saw this one mention endurain, a fitness tracker. I’ve been looking for something to self host data about my health, fitness, etc. Has anyone tried this or anything else in the self-hosted or open source fitness space?

Those countries are Belarus, Bolivia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.

Monthly active users. A metric to show the number of users who are considered active at least once per month.

I could connect a smart plug and disconnect it if below -15, if that would help

If you didn’t know already, many smart plugs are not rated for the amount of power that fridges and other compressor based appliances. They can overlosd the plugs and cause failures or fires. Also shutting off a compressor mid cycle increases the wear.

These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.

CDs have an advantage over USB drives in that they can’t actually secretly be USB HID devices like a fake keyboard or mouse that runs a bunch of commands when it plugs in. It’s only a storage device.

A super secure environment might then lock down all USB devices to ones known by them and then epoxy all ports and devices.

Great if only my family would even believe this as opposed to just saying something about FEMA using DEW and HAARP and space lasers to actually create hurricanes to be able to extract lithium or something.

ICANN specifically set aside all two character TLDs to be for country specific codes. There’s only a few cases where they kept ex countries TLDs around and phased them out over several years. It would be an entirely new precedent if they did keep it. So I wouldn’t depend on it
