  • Open source, self hosted weather stations?

    Jump

  • I used wview for years, and published a couple of weather stations publically. Sadly that looks to be abandoned now.

    Nowadays I just run Home Assistant and combine an anenometer, a rain tip gauge and about a million different temperature sensors into that, mostly with 8266's running Esphome to collect and forward that data. It's a fun and cheap little hobby if you like collecting data. The gauge and anenometer were off aliexpress for about £5 each, the esps about the same, and temp sensors less than a quid each. All software foss of course, and uses almost no resources so can run on any linux server.

  • This is true. I get insane write speeds when storing data in /dev/null

  • What songs hurt you to hear? Emotionally break you down with their depth/intensity?

    Jump

  • Hero of War also a strong fave of mine. Bleak as fuck. No Bravery by James Blunt is on similar lines.

  • "Boys will be boys" by Stella Donnelly. Best listened to blind, imo, so won't give context.

    Hero of War by Rise Against. An American soldier's view of war.

    Raoui by Souad Moussi (I can't understand arabic so she might be singing a shopping list, but the pain in her voice gives me shivers every time)

    No Bravery by James Blunt. A British soldier's view of war.

    I have a long playlist of stuff like this called "Managed Melancholy" - it's part of my mental health self care to immerse myself in sad sometimes and really feel. (I'm fine btw, and this is part of giving me an outlet)

  • What would you think of a 48/49/50 year old married man with kids(including a 19/20yr old daughter) and grandkids blatantly and consistently flirting with women in their early-mid 20's

  • Some of us gamers have been training for that our whole lives.

  • Best remote control option to support non-techies

    Jump

  • Please, don't expose VNC to the internet, ever. It's a horrendously insecure protocol that uses plaintext passwords of no more than 8 characters and everything that passes over the connection is unencrypted and visible to anyone sniffing the traffic.

    Once it was the only option, but there are dozens of better things out there now which should be used, even on a lan or vpn.

  • EU leaders to clash over ‘Buy European’ push at Belgium summit

    Jump

  • Perhaps the view is changing that free trade doesn't come without hidden costs?

    If the cost of trade agreements means political interference or military threats, it's not really free.

  • Greebo... (Translated)

  • Nah, Greebo's a cat

  • Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs

    Jump

  • Why add age checks?

    I've read this from several sources now and not found anywhere that explains why they're doing this. Are they being threatened with legal action?

  • Debian has always attracted zealots, many of whom were extremely... impolite... during the systemd wars, on both sides of that schism. Sadly, as in most things, the majority of reasonable, quiet, hard working community members get drowned out because, well, they're reasonable, quiet and hardworking.

  • I think RH made a lot of important contributions to the Linux ecosystem and pushed it forward by a lot.

    I agree - and historically they have led innovation in truly groundbreaking ways, but my personal view is that those glory days are a long way in the past now. Whilst they do still do some good work for FOSS, the purchase by IBM has in my view, changed objectives. To me, Red Hat has changed from being a profit making company that existed to support foss projects, to a subsidiary running foss projects to support a profit making company.

    IBM don't buy companies to make the world a better place.

  • VillageSQL, the newest MySQL fork built around the concept of extensions

    Jump

  • Agree. Although Mariadb has drifted significantly (and with very good reason) in terms code, features and SQL - I still mentally parse "Mysql" as "MariaDb". It's one of the best forks I've ever encountered in all my time using foss. I currently maintain around 80 MariaDb servers and have remarkably few problems.

    Much as I like to see variety in software, I do kind of wish more recognition of MariaDb was given, and more support.

  • In appreciation of Linux on Thinkpads

    Jump

  • Just installed debian on a S440 tonight to replace a HP Pavilion that had just ejected its charge port. Doubt the thinkpad will have the same problem, the HPs flex so much I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

    The thinkpad install was flawless, even had the wifi drivers in the installer without needing non-free.
