Man I hate how I barely ever buy anything, makes it impossible to boycott any company

The generated password lenghts can be set in the UI at least. It’s worse when the password form accepts only SOME special symbols (looking at you bank)

Did you see the new ff vertical tabs in nightly firefox labs?

Apart from what everyone already posted:

• Boring RSS - displays an rss icon in address bar with the rss feeds from the current page’s head tag - the cool thing is that unlike other addons like this, this one has only the activeTab permission, rather than “access your data for all sites” - https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/boring-rss

• uBlacklist - hides some pages from search engine search results (I use it to hide reddit) - https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

• Tridactyl - like Surfingkeys, Vimium etc. - more vimlike experience for Firefox - you can also optionally install a native extension to run shell commands in the os from within ff (yeah dangerous): https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Remote work is a lie made up by big white collar to sell less jeans for mining

And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don’t have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP’s that’d be running OpenWRT wouldn’t be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you’re asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you’d run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

• https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/
• https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_standard_all?dataflt[Device+Type*~]=Switch

That way you’d have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you’d always be working with the same system.

This comic strip will keep on giving, you can keep remaking it every 20 years

you’re doing your part in keeping the federation healthy and decentralized o7

My god does anybody else downvote an article if it’s blatant clickbait? How does it have 520 score? You were supposed to be better than r**dit remember?

This is true. I spent 4 months abroad recently and on the 4 month mark I started getting text messages from my operator saying “In the last 4 months you spent more time abroad than in your home country. If your usage doesn’t change, we will begin billing you X.Y/GB”

In Germany’s defense, if you miss a train connection due to delays, you just board the next connection without needing to have your ticket re-issued for another connection, which is cool.

But the joke is real, I was coming back from Spain to Poland by train recently and everything was fine, until my VERY FIRST STATION IN GERMANY where I got my first delay.

Yeah, but it also happens to be a significant instance with many big communities. It’d be ok if it was hosting only leftist comunities that talk only about “.M-L” stuff, but then you end up with communities like privacy@lemmy.ml where the rules seem to be:

1. Talk only about privacy related things
2. (implied) Don’t criticize Xi Jingping (I’m exeggerating for comedic effect)

Best search meta is “searchterm -reddit +forum” anyway

Seconded. When walking around my 60s neighbourhood in Poland I can clearly see that someone sat down and planned how the neighbourhood is going to look, i.e. where there will be a store, where a kindergarten and where a school. Not to mention a huge swath of lawn with playgrounds in the middle of the buildings for the ultimate flex.

Opposite of “ok we’ll sell the land and the free market will figure it out”.

Orgzly Revived on Android, if you’re into emacs org mode. Can sync over git, webdav and dropbox. Probably syncthing too. Samba over Android file protocol with Material Design sadly doesn’t work.

On PC just edit the same org mode notes as in Orgzly, but with Emacs.

Wasn’t there a new generation vaccine for it released this yesr? Wouñd you say that it’s helping?

To me as a layman it immediately brings up a connection to feminism. I don’t think that anybody who will want to get men to think different will get very far using the word “patriarchy”, given men being more right leaning.

There isn’t much substance to my argument than “nuh uh I don’t like that word” but it is what it is. There must be some better approach “marketing wise”, despite patriarchy being technically correct.

Men retire 5 years later than women there as well.
