I could never get mastodon to work with an app without using SSL.

I much prefer setting up a VPN and reverse proxy without having to deal with SSL. So it was really annoying not being able to use an app on the phone to connect to it.

We tried it and didn’t like the clunky UI.

We also tried Lemmy but it was a bit of a nuisance to maintain.

In the end we settled on a forum with a wiki.

We tried a few forums but in the end Flarum was the nicest, Just a bit of a pain to set the domain to be dynamic but it can be done with some PHP, alternatively, just use a reverse proxy with dnsmasq and wireguard pointing to that DNS.

As for a Wiki We have tried mediawiki, WikiJS And a couple others. I would recommend dokuwiki. (I hear good things about bookstack too).

Yeah, you don’t need to bleed the brakes here.

Changing the fluid is different from changing the pads.

And if you’re changing the fluid you can just put a one way valve over the nipples and pump it out whilst the misses pours the new stuff in.

You definitely don’t need to bleed the brakes.

Take the old pads out and put the new ones in. It’s painless.

You wouldn’t even need to bleed the brakes if you were doing the fluid, Just use a one-way valve over the nipple.

On motorcycles I tend to pop out the piston and wipe all the crap off it then bleed the brakes. That’s because the brakes get sticky and it’s a bit of a nuisance, but other than that you wouldn’t often need to bleed the brakes on a car unless you fuck something up.

I found reading through the rust book was a nice walkthrough of problems one can hit and how that language elected to solve them.

In terms of practice:

• Write a vim config
  • Shell out to python if you’d like
• Learn a bit of elisp and org-mode
• Rewrite all your shell scripts into a python CLI
• Write a pyqt6 GUI for tasks and notes on the exact way you’ve always wanted it to work
• Write an AI tool to auto-format links etc with phi3
  • Very exciting how much these smaller models can do!

This. Alternatively, 401K depending on a variety of factors.

How does it compare with Immich?

It is incredibly good. Cheese and chalk good. Using it with Aider really highlights how much the Dev space is about to change.

It depends how you run it etc. You may have not been using a quantized model.

As others have said. I left photoprism for immich and it’s much better

They are not taken seriously by law enforcement. They are advertised to be taken seriously.

It’s awful but that’s the way it is. If your experience working with a victim in your jurisdiction has been a positive one I’m really glad to hear that and I would love to know what things made it work so we’ll.

In my experience supporting a victim, there’s no ramifications for the perpetrator, no appetite for investigation and no support for the victim outside the private system (the support hotlines are particularly useless).

Police simply are not there to protect and support victims of personal violence offences.

You can call bullshit all you want, but this is my lived experience in a western country and I have nothing to gain by being deceptive 🤷.

Based on my experience with how the law deals with victims of child sexual assault, I think all we have is vigilantism.

This would happen multiple times before it’s stopped and this is only challenged by the power position of the assailant.

It’s not great, but, in my experience, sexual assault is not taken very seriously, unfortunately.

I love this discussion because it’s a complex issue.

I suppose I stand on the side that maybe she should have just delivered them. It’s just words and individuals can throw garbage in the bin pretty easily. I sure as shit wouldn’t want anybody filtering my mail.

OTOH, “got a job to do” is a weak justification for unethical behaviour.

Put me down 3:2 in favour of delivering the things I guess.

Typically modal refers to insert/normal mode.

Mode in terms of the file type is fairly standard across all editors.

So Emacs, VScode, Vim and Pycharm are the obvious choices.

Geany and Kate are options but they’re not as nice to use.

See generally helix and zed.

Yeah that’s been my least favourite experience with Lemmy.

Many replies are hostile and highly opinionated.

I don’t have an answer for your question but it was a good question and it made me curious.

I’m in favour of domestic production but I would always want more information about it.

I don’t think the poster was speaking in the context of pedestrian safety?

Also, typically pedestrians aren’t anywhere near highways and other high-speed roadways. So not really a concern in this context.

Yeah gotta back Arch here. It’s relatively stable and a good compromise between the two extremes of non-modular highly configured and DIY.

The only moving part with arch is installing a couple packages.

Pick a rolling release distribution with a limited number of opinionated choices. Arch is a good one. Void is another (although far less main stream).

Ubuntu is very non-modular and highly opinionated, probably avoid that.

I recommend XFCE over LXDE, it’s probably a better compromise in terms of what you’re looking for.

So, my advice:

1. Install endeavourOS (or arch directly if so inclined)
2. Choose xfce at install time
   • you may install gnome and then xfce over the top of you like
   • you may also like KDE plasma, but try to avoid a mix and match with gnome/xfce and KDE, you’ll find some theming etc will be a nuisance
3. Keep it up to date.

Consistent with the notion that man was made in the image of God based on my experience with humanity.

Yeah I love this Train of thought because it’s an interesting thing to consider.
