  • I agree that it's probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it's too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.

    It's cherry picking, but I'll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump's door step surely?

    In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.

  • There's a huge variety in condiments.

    Mayo is egg, vinegar, and oil.

    Fats (oil) are super complicated. Some are very bad for you like canola oil (but they're also cheap) while some are very good for you like olive oil (EVOO) (but it's very expensive).

    Some Mayo varieties will have these three ingredients and an emulsifier to help it stay nice on the shelf.

    Others will have heaps of sugar and bullshit flavours.

    The difference in nutritional value is huge.

  • You've seen the headlines about telsa sales tanking right? In some markets by 50% or 60%. That's a big deal.

    First movers do enjoy a special privilege but I'm not sure how sticky that will be in this case. Musk's political views are at odds with people that are environmentally conscious.

    Those views are now indefeasible from the brand and this kind of "vandalism" (provided it doesn't significantly damage the vehicle) is a great way to reinforce that connection.

  • As someone who's out of the loop may I ask what the story is?

    What I'm getting is that he's a wealthy has been who has some unmedicated mental health problems which manifest in these spectacular public brain farts.

    Is that all there is to it or is there some explanation for the antisemitism?

  • Yeah. You see it all the time around here. It's usually some smart ass kid doing it to their mum's car or whatever.

    However, that's still "vandalism" by your definition.

    Just gonna be honest... you seem a bit uptight about this.

  • If you define "vandalism" to include "writing in dust" then yes, some types of "vandalism" are ok on any type of vehicle what so ever.

    Sometimes people write "wash me" in the dust on someone's window. Who cares.

  • That doesn't mean that reprisals are a realistic possibility.

    People manage all sorts of risks every day.

    It's not a question of whether some infinitesimal risk exists, it's a question of whether removing names is an appropriate mitigation.

    Obviously you think that it is, but I think most people value transparency and accountability. The elephant in the room here is that anonymity would hypothetically allow service members to act with impunity.

    I'm sure you can see the risks in having service members escort detainees with no accountability for their actions.

  • It's not "too hard", it just completely unreasonable to expect people in general to self host as a way to "fight against tech billionaires".

    I can assure you that most people would find the amount of effort required to learn, implement, and maintain self hosted services to be unpractical.

  • I don't "get you" because your argument is non-sensical.

    You're saying that you want a legal system where everyone receives the same treatment but then in the same breath arguing that an exception should be made for Luigi because Trump hasn't been punished.

  • I'm not really sure what you're getting at?

    I've been self hosting for many years. Including mission critical data for my consultancy.

    It's a great hobby and I'd encourage anyone who's interested to get involved.

    That said, for people looking for a way to "fight against tech billionaires", migrating their google drive to a self hosted nextcloud instance from a cold start with no experience in self hosting is inadvisable.

  • The top level comment says it's not legal.

    The comment you replied to is saying that's not true, and that hyperbole doesn't help.

    Your comment says that legality is not morality.

    Settle down, take a deep breath, and think about what you're saying.

    Fan & thermostat for cabinet cooling

    I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

    I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

    I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

    I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

    With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

    unverified email

    I was invited to sign up this morning.

    I attempted to do so. When I try to sign in I see an "unverified email" toast error. I haven't received an email asking me to verify.

    IP Block Lists & Docker Networking

    Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.

    IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.

    The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.

    The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn't great and I think I'm more likely to mess something up than to have any success.

    The thing is, I'm sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I'm sure there must be an easier way.

    The great rewiring: is social media really behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness? The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety.

    Install MicroG on rooted Galaxy S20+

    If anyone could point me to some information or guide about this I'd really appreciate that.

    I think the official com.android.gsm and friends need to be uninstalled first. I've tried that with adb, console reports "success", Google Play Services is no longer listed in Settings > Apps.

    But... if I try to install MicroG via Fdroid or Droid-ify it goes through the install process, there's no error, but MicroG Core is not shown as "installed". If I try to install the apk with adb it says the currently installed version is newer than the one I'm trying to install?

    microg.org seems to just assume you know how to install.

    I read something about signature spoofing but I thought that was only for older devices.

    Any insights / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: I think this is the answer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

    rsync.net's warrant canary

    rsync.net Warrant Canary

    Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records.

    Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as rsync.net.

    rsync.net and its principals and employees will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy.

    rsync.net will also make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following:

    • a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place
    • a cut and paste headline from a major news source, establishing date

    Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or are removed from this page.

    The current message is here:

    Organise Google Takeout Files

    I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.

    The folder structure is an absolute mess.

    It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven't been able to think of an easy way to do that.

    I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I've never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It's just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.

    Any insights much appreciated.

    Gerbera v2.0.0

    Gerbera is a UPnP media server. I've used it (and it's predecessor mediatomb) for many years. Rock solid. Works well with VLC.
