Happy Ten Year Anniversary, Stardew Valley!

So I really enjoyed it, but I think there's a giant prerequisite that you have to like this kind of game to start with.
If it feels like a chore then the core gameplay loop is not your thing and that's ok.
If you like this farming style game, then Stardew Valley offers a lot of depth. Ultimately I can definitely see why some people wouldn't enjoy it, though.

Appreciation Post for KATE

What does the workflow look like for that? Do you run it in the terminal each time, or do you bind it to a keyboard combo or have an icon on your dock/taskbar or something?

Three Docker related questions

Jump

Dave @lemmy.nz 1d ago

You sound like you want to go all in on federated services but there are plenty of other things to do.

I love Nextcloud, works well when set up through the Nextcloud All In One docker setup, but it is a little different to other things so it might not be a starting point depending on your experience. Lots of apps to add for extra functionality. But don't replace your cloud storage with it until you're confident of your backups (and ability). I ran it for years to use for the apps and minor things before I finally went all in.

I think a wiki is a great thing to have. Use it to document what you've done so you can remember.

Then there's media. With the storage I guess TV/movies might be out, but there's Audiobookshelf for Audiobooks, Kavita or Calibre Web for eBooks. I like Jellyfin for music (but using the Finamp app not the Jellyfin one), but others like dedicated music setups like Navidrone.

I buy my music from Bandcamp where available and Qobuz where it's mainstream labels, then I can have my own little Spotify. Finamp even lets you download playlists or your whole library to your device for offline listening. I use Findroid for watching things, which also allows downloading. Last I checked the Jellyfin app didn't have Netflix-like downloading, just downloading the files to your downloads folder.

I guess you might not fit a whole lot with 300GB storage though, especially after you fit the databases of half a dozen federated services.

If you have space, perhaps a photo service like Immich or Photoprosm.

If you have friends maybe a private sharing forum like Zusam.

If you have family then maybe family tree software like webtrees.

I run so many things, they all get used, and I'm always happy to talk about them!

I'm just trying to search for a website...

Dave @lemmy.nz 1d ago

I love that you can rewrite URLs. Reddit seems to block old.reddit.com from being indexed, but I have a URL rewrite in Kagi so you can site: reddit.com (or use a Reddit lense) then when you click links it goes to old.reddit.com

Literally the only case I use this but it's the example Kagi uses so it was probably made specifically for this purpose.

Dear Fediverse, why is my community not visible? and yes it's public...

Jump

Dave @lemmy.nz 1d ago

So posts in communities only go to instances where there is a subscriber. If you make a new community, people on other instances won't see it until someone on their instance searches it up and subscribes.

For new communities, two things to do are to submit on https://lemmy-federate.com/ which will automatically federate it to instances that have signed up for it (I've just done this for you), and to post it in new community sharing communities so people know about it and can subscribe, e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

Haha one thing we learnt from daycare was a cold cloth. Literally just a cloth (e.g. face cloth) run under cold water. Get hurt, put a cold cloth on it. It's itchy, do you want a cold cloth? Fall and hurt your pride? Put a cold cloth on it.

Band aids are hardly ever needed, sorry about hurting the profits.

Depends if you count OEM licences that came with their device as purchases, which would be the vast majority of people.

A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash

Jump

Dave @lemmy.nz 4d ago

That's an interesting proof of concept, but I don't think it shows it's different. That's a server side attack, whoever has control of the server could just have the script download a malicious binary instead and you wouldn't be able to tell from the script.

Dave @lemmy.nz 4d ago

Firstly, it is much, much easier to compromise the website hosting than the binary itself, usually. Distributed binaries are usually signed by multiple keys from multiple servers, resulting in them being highly resistant to tampering. Reproducible builds (two users compiling a program get the same output) make it trivial to detect tampering as well.

Yeah this is a fair call.

But at the same time, I have little confidence in my ability to spot these bugs.

This is the key thing for me. I am not likely to spot any issues even if they were there! I'd only be scanning for external connections or obviously malicious code, which I do when I don't have as much trust in the source.

As a sidenote, docker doesn’t recommend their install script anymore.

Yeah I used it as an example because there are very few times I ever remember piping to bash, but that's probably the most common one I have done in the past.

Is there a blanket "rss" bot block option?

All good, glad you got it sorted!

Dave @lemmy.nz 4d ago

Bots are supposed to be marked as bots on their profiles. Lemmy has the option in your settings to hide bots. But it will hide all bots, not just those ones.

You might need to visit lemmy on a website instead of an app if you can't find the setting in your app.

Jump

Dave @lemmy.nz 4d ago

You can, but to me it seems weird to say it's crazy to pipe to bash when people happily run binaries. If anything, the convenience script is lower risk than the binary since people have probably checked it before you.

I wouldn't pipe a random script to bash though, nothing where I wouldn't trust the people behind it.

Dave @lemmy.nz 4d ago

Yeah I get that, but I would install docker, cloudflared, etc by piping a convenience script to bash without hesitation. I've already decided to install their binary, I don't see why the install script is any higher risk.

I know it's a controversial thing for everyone to make their own call on, I just don't think the risk for a bash script is any higher than a binary.

Ok but not everyone has that skill. And anyway, how is this different to running a binary where you can't check the code?

Is it different from running a bash script you downloaded without checking it? E.g. the installer that you get with GOG games?

Genuine question, I'm no expert.

TIL that Radon is a radioactive substance which can cause cancer. Colorado is full of radon. The average level of radon in Colorado homes is 6.4 pCi/L, which is equivalent to 200 chest X-rays a year

Interestingly, the NZ average data rose from 16 to 23 between the 80s and 2016, I wonder if it's related to the rise in concrete slab houses where raised houses on piles with a crawlspace were previously the primary way houses were built. Granite countertops possibly play a part too.

I guess the most plausible explanation is incompetence, there wouldn't be a reason to do this on purpose (a backdoor), right? Since the company could have easily used different credentials per device that they store anyway?
