I installed LTSC on a device recently. Very little effort for bloat free Windows.

Free Palestine.

The Gaza war is genocide.

Fuck the IDF.

Please prevent me from visiting the genocide loving USA.

This. Some people don't realise how ridiculously easy it is to change a lock when you can open the door with a key.

  1. Put the working key into the lock

  2. Undo this screw

  1. Turn the key slightly back and forth whilst pulling the cylinder out until it starts to come out. Then just pull it all out.

  2. Mark which side was front and back

  3. Measure from the middle locking mechanism of the cylinder to the ends.

  4. Find a lock with the same lengths. It'll be like 60/40 (100mm total length).

6b. Optional: get one with a fixed turnkey on the inside.

  1. Replace lock by reverse.

What the hell that is hilarious

I hear you. I worked for an msp where some customers would refuse to invest in backup solutions and we either declined to renew their contract or they suffered an event and we were then setting up backups.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner. I knew I had good backups at home so the plan was to blow away OVH and restore from backup to Hetzner. This was the mistake.

Mid migration I get an alert from the raid system that a drive has failed and had been marked as offline. I had a spare disk ready, as I planned for this type of event. So I swapped the disk. Mistake number 2.

I pulled the wrong disk. The Adaptec card shit a brick, kicked the whole array out. Couldn't bring it back together. I was too poor to afford recovery. This was my lesson.

Now I only use ZFS or MDRAID, and have multiple copies of data at all times.

I'm lucky enough to run a business that needs a datacenter presence. So most my home-lab (including Lemmy) is actually hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd in the DC. I can then use the small rack I have at home as off-site backups and some local services.

I treat the entirety of /var/lib/docker as expendable. When creating containers, I make sure any persistent data is mounted from a directory made just to host the persistent data. It means docker compose down --rmi all --volumes isn't destructive.

When a container needs a database, I make sure to add an extra read-only user. And all databases have their container and persistent volume directory named so scripts can identify them.

The backup strategy is then to backup all non-database persistent directories and dump all SQL databases, including permissions and user accounts. This gets run 4 times a day and the backup target is an NFS share elsewhere.

This is on top of daily backuppc backups of critical folders, automated Proxmox snapshots for docker hosts every 20 minutes, daily VM backups via Proxmox Backup Server and replication to another PBS at home.

I also try and use S3 where possible (seafile and lemmy are the 2 main uses) which is hosted in a container on a Synology RS2423RP+. Synology HyperBackup then performs a backup overnight to the Synology RS822+ I have at home.

Years ago I fucked up, didn't have backups, and lost all the photos of my sons early years. Backups are super important.

Its embassy in Madrid accused him of "demonizing" Israel, saying Spain was "on the wrong side of history."

Israel are confused.

I'm sure they taste great, but my mind is seeing the science class at college with a shelf full of dead small animals in jars.

Lol says the "reddthat" user. Actually it's a good instance name, but the irony ...

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really?! Okay. I think your troll radar is well off, but it's your opinion so you do you I suppose.

Maybe you are the troll. Like 4D chess level of troll. =D

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Your post history and mod logs are also quite weird.

Lol what does that mean

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The article unfortunately isn't much better when read in it's entirety. A unique identifier is sent along with an encrypted payload. The entire set is then encrypted again in transit. But the author claims the identifier is sent "cleartext".

This coupled with repeated "russian bad" comments peppered throughout. Article is bad.

I used to see this on Reddit, I'm disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.

Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.

Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.

Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn't all as bad as it seems.

 

I just wanted to tell you how great you all are.

I moved to Lemmy shortly before the mass exodus from Reddit in 2023. I eventually created an instance of my own and to begin with, leaving Reddit felt like a mistake.

I could browse Lemmy's equivalent of /r/all top-last-24-hours in about 15 minutes, so my doom-scroll time plummeted. I was better for it. However, I still yearned for the meme laughs and thought provoking comment threads of Reddit. Lemmy had them, but they were much fewer.

Fast forward to today. My instance is hosting a popular up and coming community, of which I'm honoured, even if I'm not welcome. The top-24-hour of all posts is now more than enough to satisfy my needs. I laugh at memes, I get to share posts I found on Lemmy with friends and family, I'm exposed to more cultures than just American which is a real refreshing change.

It isn't mainstream, and I think its better for it. It has its own culture, and we are beginning to get all meta with Lemmy in-jokes which I think is both annoying and awesome at the same time (ie. Hussain memes).

Overall, I am just really happy for Lemmy and am glad to be sharing it with all of you. May the good times continue.

 

The shield is a great device, but I'm starting to notice some considerable lag at times.

Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative?

I have an older Apple TV I'm going to try but I'd prefer to stay Android.

Features I'd want are

  • Android TV
  • Netflix and Jellyfin support
  • Powerful / fast
  • Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I'm not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

I love this guy with every fibre of my being. He is 14yr old and starting to show his age. He has had a great life but I get all teary knowing that I'll out live him.

 
 

I was just thinking. In the UK government every cabinet minister, which are those with specific jobs like head of education, or health, also has an opposite "shadow" person from the other main party whose job is to argue with the other. Imagine you had the job of Shadow head of education. Must be an easy job, you just argue with the other guy. But then your party wins the election and things just got real. You got to do the job for serious now.

Sync grabs images using an option for max length of 1500px, so the super long images are just a smattering of pixels that barely represent the original image.

I can't find a way in the app to get a better quality version. I end up opening a web browser to view.
