Very first line of the GitHub readme. As a support tool it’s mostly useless, endless similar or identical questions answered differently or not at all and none of it indexed by search engines for use on the web.

It’s an awful data silo / black hole that increases volunteer load.

allows it to make its tokamaks at only two percent of the volume of conventional tokamaks

Strap that into a tank, with - hear me out - legs, and we’re golden.

Easily doable in docker using the network_mode: "service:VPN_CONTAINER" configuration (assuming your VPN is running as a container)

The Punch Escrow is a great pulpy book along the same lines.

This is a 2 and a half (almost) year old article. I figured Tim’s thoughts on this were common knowledge at this point?

It’s unfortunate that (at least on the Bluesky side) an attempt at following a person doesn’t result in them getting a DM asking for that to be ok.

Which means following a person on Bluesky is not possible unless they’ve already opted in.

All I want to do is follow a couple of authors or content creators but none of them know what bridgy.fed is :(

I’ve not used dockge so it may be great but at least for this case portainer puts all the stack (docker-compose) files on disk. It’s very easy to grab them if the app is unavailable.

I use a single Portainer service to manage 5 servers, 3 local and 2 VPS. I didn’t have to relearn anything beyond my management tool of choice (compose, swarm, k8s etc)

Without a pet-tax image I’m not sure I can upvote.

With a small amount of effort and the use of https://github.com/nanos/FediFetcher and https://github.com/g3rv4/GetMoarFediverse you can mitigate basically all those issues. It’s still not perfect by any means but it results in a perfectly usable single user instance.

The first populates the replies of the home timeline posts you see (as well as profiles of people it finds in those replies) and the second pulls down all the content from instances you select for your followed hashtags (choose mastodon.social and you can guarantee you’ll see most all posts with those tags)

Appropriate username.

Not that I disagree right now though.

Yes. On older generation/cheaper ANC this is perceived as increased “pressure”. It doesn’t seem louder but the physical sensation of loudness is there.

“…prohibits repair stores from repairing components on the mainboard. Instead, the entire component must be replaced…”

A flagrant disregard for the costs of e-waste on the environment. What a surprise.

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It’s produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There’s no prerecorded sound that would work.

How is being paid “from pushback to arrival” even vaguely legal?

On Linux the anti-cheat does not run at kernel level.

But knowing Sony they’re going to decide to disallow Linux.

Aside from everyone who’s using flutter?

Long story short the MRI showed no impinging of the cord so we were told to just monitor it. It’s slowly fading.

The long story is that the next day the GP repeated 111’s advice so we bundled up pillows and painkillers and, still very upset, we went back. After an hour the triage nurse told us that all the GP needed to do was a referral by email and we would have been admitted straight to the spinal unit.

She then rang the GP and actually tore them a new one. It was highly satisfying.

We spent the rest of the day in spinal, her on a bed, and got seen by excellent staff who did more explaining about the injury and what to expect than anyone else had done to that point. We were in limbo about the whole thing till then.

Let’s be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They’ll sell if that doesn’t go in their favour.

Fuck.

My wife and I were in this A&E 3 days later. She’d new lower body numbness appear some months into a broken back recovery. 101 said go straight there, this is a no fuck around situation.

We get there and are advised it’s a 12 hour wait, the place is rammed, ambulances are queuing and the corridors are full of gurneys and paramedics.

My wife at this point is in tears. The broken back means sitting for an hour on a shit waiting room chair is hard work. 12 literally can’t happen.

So we leave. What else can we do.

The situation was fucking awful, but I don’t blame the staff. I felt genuinely bad for all of them - there was just a complete lack of hope on any of their faces.

IIRC your data would live on your chosen pod server - which does not have to be a fediverse instance.
