It’s ancient German tradition. They also delivered the know-how and precursor products to Iraq in the 80ies, which was used against Iran and Iraqi Kurds. Germany figured it’s easier to let people be genocided instead of doing it yourself.

I feel you have it the wrong way around. The “average Lemming” is pissed, because private piracy is prosecuted and punished while Meta’s is not.
I, for once, couldn’t care less whether Meta pirates the shit out of all the books if I am allowed to do the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


In recent weeks samba became unstable for using external storage, finally came around this week to use sshfs instead. Seems stable for now, all I could ask for 👌


Well you’re not alone in having that mindset.
Well, a lot of countries do not have this “18 years is the definitive line” ruleset. Which is made to not criminalize sex between e.g. 19 and 17 years old, which is also kind of ridiculous. OTOH it easily leads to the situation where 40 years and 16 years is also legal (in Germany e.g. when there’s no power dynamic between the parties - so 40 yo teacher and his pupil - nono; “random encounter” legal as long as there’s consent). But then again how would the law be written to make it better, like some crazy formula to check for?!


The most basic solution would be a SSH reverse tunnel to a VPS outside. Have a machine in your network establish that tunnel and set it to reconnect automatically. Now you can SSH into one box of your network. If the router acts up and factory resets (as long as it reestablishes the connection), you can SSH back into your network and reconfigure everything from there.


It’s a legal thing. No (real) jurisdiction. In space nobody will shut down Grok generating kiddo porn. It’s basically the precursor for Epstein Island 2.0.


Lifting half a ton…for how long?


Open Office =/= Libre Office
The latter is a long standing fork of the former and considered the “FLOSS standard office suite”. It has a “modern” ribbon UI, but you have to set it like that, it usually comes with the “old layout” by default.
OnlyOffice is another office suite which brings a ribbon UI by default.
While not open source Softmaker Office mimics Microsoft Office the closest (and claims the best available MS file format compatibility, but I cannot say anything about that).


Wait, are his feet as small as his hands, or what?


Here I was hoping to casually siege a castle, but alas, no battering ram to be had ☹️
Guys, Gals…hear me out: I can easily half all the numbers in your calculations: do something about the energy efficiency and get to the same per capita consumption as e.g. France and Germany.
Boom, instant less area consumption.


It’s how we end up with
curl https://some.rando.url/install.sh | sudo bash -cas an acceptable way of installing software. Don’t understand it, don’t question it, don’t look at what that shell script you’re running as root does, just copy / paste / and go! I don’t want to care about the details!
How do you know that people do not read the scripts first and come to the conclusion “that is safe, nice that somebody build a convenience script I just need to read”?
there are dozens of replies like “just use yunohost” or “just rebuild your entire server with unraid”
Same as above. I read those comments as helpful “hey, that worked for me, maybe it does for you, YMMV” instead of “everybody should do it”.
There’s Company of Heroes with realistic units and “order based” real-time combat, alas, it is not very large scale.
Closest I remember to your description is another very old game: Sid Meier’s Gettysburg. But that was limited by the possibilities of its time.
Well permaculture is a thing in gardening ^^
I mean, it’s not “forever” as in “until the end of all things”, but as much set and forget as I would like in a knowledgebase (and in a garden).


Depends highly on the people. I learned that way, to get started with recipes enabled me to get early successes which in turn motivated me.
Down the road I needed different things from my setup, which could not be found in a simple recipe anymore, so I needed to learn the parts of the machine.


You can always freeze excess heat in case you need it later. Just microwave it, when needed!


Yep, preparing a proper search is my use case. Like “how is this special screw called?”. I can describe the screw and tell the model to provide me a list of how that screw could be called.
Then I can search for the terms of that list and one of the terms is the correct one. It’s way better than hoping that somebody described the screw in the same words in some obscure forum.
But, is it worth to burn the planet, make RAM, GPUs, hard drives unaffordable for everybody and probably crash the world economy for a better screw search? I doubt it.
It’s different though, you swipe to get to the other characters instead of clicking the button more often. T9 was awesome in its time, but it also kind of relies on a dictionary, like the swiping on “standard” smartphone keyboards. In ThumbKey you type every single character, but it is fast, if you internalize the layout.
ThumbKey made the difference for me. Completely new way to define touchscreen keyboards, but after some months now, I can type blindly on a touchscreen 👍. Caveat: in the beginning typing will be very, very slow.
What I do: VPS with reverse proxy and ssh reverse tunnels from the homelab.
OG would be to understand IPv6 and use that directly. Depending on the services you plan to expose that could be a good way. Tried it some years ago, was hit and miss and I still don’t get my head around how v6 work…but that would be the most independent, standalone way.
