For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.

  • Buying your own domain.You can then use whatever provider, or host your email service... but at least you don't need to change addresses when switching anymore.

  • HellsBelle isn't even trolling here.The RCMP does exist in Québec, but the vast majority of enforcement is done by the SQ.Here, an arrest like the one in the OP would most likely be done by the SQ and not by the RCMP.

  • Recycling isn't perfect and recycling alone can't be the only solution.But that's still less plastics than making these with new plastics.Recycling is the last of the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle.

  • Report the DM. These go to both instance admins involved (sender's and recipient's instances)

  • For a sec I thought he'd replaced it with Warhammer models.

  • Kinda like people complaining Rage Against the Machine becoming political.Always has been.

  • I'm on the couch, literally reading this comment laterally.

  • Well that's annoying.You could probably read the file where it writes the leases instead. Although that isn't event based unless you do your own wrapper to check it every second instead of cronus minutes

  • No taxation without representation or something.

  • Mount Rushmore already sucks ass but it could always suck more.

  • TIL half the people at my workplace have been reading this book for the last 2 decades.

  • Guantanamo should not exist

  • The shopping/dressing part, imho, is whatever, maybe even cute.Kids being wary of parental embarrassment is as old as time.

    That last message though is really the big one: how to behave and what to say.

    Disclaimer: I know nothing about your daughter, the following isn't meant as advice.

    On one hand, she wants you to be part of this.On the other hand, it seems like covering up who you are is (mostly?) to cover up who poeple there might think she is?It's like she's worried that people there will think she doesn't belong if it is made evident that you don't. I think she's worried about not fitting in herself and you bringing attention to that fact.Asking you to play a role is kinda wack... but then it may be that she's been thinking all this time that she has to be playing the part too. Idk if cute or sad or both. Impostor syndrome in a relationship maybe, idk.

    Honey, just hire actors at this point.

    Me? I'd go all in.Full-on wizard staff and pipe, or the old monopoly monocle look.If I'm about to dress up and play a role, I might as well play as someone from the wait staff or go all out medieval bourgeois and convince people I'm a noble from a far off land that no one there has heard about, like Earl of Canada.

    Sorry we're late, customs was being picky about sword lengths and I had to leave another trebuchet to one of them meddlesome varlets.A den of savages.We couldn't find the stables, my dear, if you'd be so kind as to have one of your footmen help the stable boy.

  • Also, if you're using anything with a static IP, monitoring the DHCP obviously won't work.If you got any of those, I'd recommend doing a static DHCP reservation, where the host is still using DHCP, but always gets the same IP.I'm not sure how these are handled in regards to the commits hook though.Maybe monitoring the ARP table can be useful to you depending on your use case, but then that's back to a "polling" scenario instead of being event based.Actually you could have multiple triggers:

    • Event based hook from the DHCP
    • Polling the ARP table or even pinging a specific static host that isn't DHCP compatible
    • microphone based detection: When someone in your household yells that it doesn't work again, bring it up.

    Anyway, calling it from the hook or cronjob kinda becomes an "or" condition for bringing it up: Any one host brings it up, regardless of how you detect them.

    But then you likely still need an "and" condition when bringing it down: All conditions/hosts must be down for a period of time to bring it down.

    Also consider future troubleshooting. Maybe having some sort of toggle to force it up (and disable the wgdown scripts) if only for confirming an hypothesis during a future problem.

    Have fun

  • That and loading children comments.. but only from a single thread, load more, lpad more, show all comments or context or whatever.The UI became garbage along the way.

  • There's plenty of bans to go around, but mostly spam and the odd pathetic bigot.

    When I discovered lemmy... I thought it was nice just being able to browse and not be immediately assaulted by several popups to login, cookies, or the classic "download our app" bullshit.I know people love their apps, but the web UI works. Browsers have great features already like tabs, bookmarks, adblockers, etc.

  • The thing with a cron job is that it would likely be every minute at best.If I connect at 20:25:01 and I have to wait 59 seconds for the next cron pass, it'll probably be noticeable and annoying.

    I haven't done pfsense in a while but it shouldn't be too complicated.I think they still use ISC DHCP? If so, I vaguely remember you could use hooks or something event based instead of checking for leases every x time.Something like this in dhcpd.conf:

     
        
    on commit {
      execute("/path/to/wg-up.sh")
    
      

    Now... bringing it down is generally less "urgent" and a cron job that checks the number of leases would be fine. Being more instantaneous in bringing it up but taking your time to bring in down would be beneficial and introduce some sort of hysteresis so it flaps less.

  • What year is it? 1999?
