  • homepage dashboard custom css

    Jump

  • I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don't have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don't his is more about structure.

    Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can't imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.

    Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it's entertainment so it's next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I'm sure you'll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.

    My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.

    I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it's a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it's your laptop use your phone, if it's your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)

  • how do I use "don't justify, argue, defend or explain" with my dispatcher who acts like a manager?

    Jump

  • You don't! At least not in the sense that I'm aware of the JADE thing:

    JADE is nothing that is a strong work proven topic but came from social media to handle narcissistic people as a peer group.

    Your reactions are hostility and rejection based and how I understand you it's your nerves that you want to preserve.

    For this in a professional work place there are multiple ways to deal with and even all of them at the same time, just from the top of my head:

    • Always go over your manager, make it his problem. "Dispatcher causes work for me by raising false claims/redundant questions - please resolve with their manager"
    • I'd call it business ghosting: answer and questions raised but but don't go into any depth. "Correct, phone was not working due to no wifi."
    • Work on yourself to detach your emotional connection: this is the toughest but also the most valuable one. It's a fucking dispatcher who has his own problems and no other way to handle them then to try to use his environment as catalyst. My personal route is the framing "poor fucker, needs his routine and world to accept himself". But also "this seems to be the only way he can feel important in front of himself" would work for me. Usually when I take pity with people I can't get angry anymore about their behaviors.
    • Figure out what the true impact on your work performance is and handle that separately from the emotional connection. It's absolutely normal to be annoyed and angry by the behavior you've described - detachment of impact and emotion can be a way forward.

    Hope this helps a bit!

  • On Linux, how do I get the VM host/guest experience but with two physical PCs, such as a "guest" laptop and a "host" desktop PC? [SOLVED]

    Jump

  • If I understand you correctly: You want to be able to record one computer with another one on a system level (the BIOS-party that comes before any operating system is loaded).

    Although this is not Linux specific: your best bet is a video capture card as you've suggested already. Anything else would depend on your bios supporting remote access which is not exactly the same (my server bios for example can expose a website where I then can configure it from within a browser.

    The problem with video capture is that you'd still have two controls: one for the client and one for the host.

    Depending on what your final result should be it could be actually easier and cheaper to just get a stand for a smartphone and record it from there and then crop it precisely.

    You then have to only worry about light reflecting.

  • How often are your windows open? What about during Winter? or during Summer? Do you open windows to let in fresh air?

    Jump

  • Haha I feel you!

    Perhaps try to be a bit less extreme in your language in front of your parents - or offer them a bet: if a CO2 monitor is yellow or red at the evening they pay for it and you can air whenever it's getting yellow. If it stays green you pay for it and shut up about the windows!

  • Sometimes I wonder if my older brother and I both were in grave danger, who would my parents save first... 🤔

    Jump

  • As I don't know your parents I can just project from myself: Whoever would be the physically closer one at that precise moment.

    I can't imagine a situation where this could be a rational decision unless one of you fucked them over in a way I can't even begin to fathom.

    This is so deep monked brain territory that it really comes down to pure instinct and that is driven by perceived higher chance.

    If the situation is in a way there it's impossible (for example would have to carry both of you but you're too heavy) chances would be high that we'd all die together - not because of some heroism bullshit but simply because I know my inner monkey quite well and it's self preservation instinct vs kin preservation are ... Let's say not in my favor ad an individual :D

  • How often are your windows open? What about during Winter? or during Summer? Do you open windows to let in fresh air?

    Jump

  • Your parents are right in terms of energy waste, im sorry to say.

    I'm quite similar though and air about five times a day but with a timer so that the air gets circulated completely without cooling out the house itself.

    The breathing struggle is most likely a mix of dust sensitivity and psychology. For me an air cleaner made a huge difference in my comfort level.

    I'd you want to go the scientific approach get a CO2 monitor (the most important element for brain performance when talking about home air) and a PM2.5 sensor for dust levels.

  • Complaining about headlines using "X blasts/slams Y" gives boomer.

    Jump

  • Oh yeah I - at least in part I wanted to go over the top as reply to the "so boomer" phrasing :)

    But honestly, I think I see where you're coming from. My concern is that it's not a change in language but a shift from information to emotion: And there is genuinely something to keep an eye on: Do my news inform me or engage me?

    No matter if Epstein, AI, Ukraine, etc - it's becoming harder and harder for me to create an opinion on my own because more and more of my information channels tell me how I should feel instead of what's going on. I'd rather find that out on my own though.

    It's an interesting thought for me though because I can easily rationalize my opposition against this shift - but it's also rooted in my emotional reaction to emotion-bait which is ... ironic I feel!

  • Complaining about headlines using "X blasts/slams Y" gives boomer.

    Jump

  • Yes, this is an unpopular opinion - and at least for me not for the reason you seem to think!

    "that's the way the world is" has way more "boomer vibe" than you can imagine. Even if you add "now". Why should I give up just because things go to shit? Why should I retire into acceptance and ignorance?

    Your acceptance is surrender, your annoyance a sign that a party of you knows that.

  • The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

    Jump

  • Thanks for the link! I wondered how strong it correlates with other changes on the US education system which makes it tough to estimate the impact on everything happening there.

    After a few minutes reading Sweden seems to be a easy better case study because of fewer other changes and overall a more homogeneous ruleset.

  • everyone hates AI

    Jump

  • You are a prime example for a simple truth: circlejerking ("opinion bubbling") doesn't depend on platform.

    There are a shitload of users. Yet, "everybody"...

    Perhaps in their social circle, AI is the new porn. Who ever would watch that, after all?

    But, more likely, everyone clapped and that was it....

  • In history we used to see fairies etc. But now we don't. Are we insane?

    Jump

  • Then there would still be the possibility for someone to take off the glasses.

    Or invent spectrometers.

    Or make others curious.

    I'd claim that our issue is too much belief and not a lack thereof. Beliefs remove the potential for excourse y for discussions and for admission of being wrong. Believing is the act of removing an item from analysis, from critique and in its final form from thinking about it.

    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you - if that's the case please apologize.

  • In history we used to see fairies etc. But now we don't. Are we insane?

    Jump

  • I don't get it with the body either. No we are not insane as a species and if only because insanity is defined on what we as collective see as normal. But what is "deep history"? And people don't get send to a doctor just because they believe in fairytales, at least where I live.

    Humans seem to have an inert need to have answers and guessing one seems to be better than "I don't know" for many.

  • CLI for codeberg/forgejo?

    Jump

  • Sorry if I use the wrong English terms! I think you are right :) With system I refered to the literal computer system the file is saved on. I'm not a dev of one of those tools but I know several maintainers and developers that's why I'm a bit sensitive there! Thats why I (baldy apparently, apologies!) tried to focus on the developer point of view and ignored the whole cost/benefit aspect which you described very well - thank you for that!

    Back to my point re/ local security because I feel this is the only one where I see a fundamentally different assessment between us: (Fontext: access an unencrypted file on my machine): I'm not aware of a mechanism to read (unencrypted or not) files on a host without a preceding incident. How else could your files be acessed? I don't understand how I might have this backwards.

    You're completely right if course that there are a lot of tools out there one could use - but it would be on the developer to implement support for those. If you support one you can be damn sure users shout for "I want to use Y". And then you would still need a Fallback for anyone not willing to install a supported third party tools.

  • Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative?

    Jump

  • I have my issues with proton because of its CEO and some weird decisions for their product lone and don't use them at all. I.e. I won't defend this company.

    Such a claim without source and explanation or interpretation of assumed implications are pure fear mongering.

    Because of this: my advice is to decouple your privacy concerns and thoughts from politics in the first degree (rhetoric and hearsay). Base it ok policies, observable behavior, audits, laws and so on..your example: exit nodes for VPNs don't have an impact on security at all in neither direction. Hosting infrastructure there would (i.e. it would increase potential access and put the infrastructure under additional legal requirements).

  • CLI for codeberg/forgejo?

    Jump

  • Cybersecurity works inherently with risk scenarios. Your comparison is flawed because you state that there is an absolute security hygiene standard.

    That said: I highly appreciate your approach to the subject, i.e. looking at the code and raising a discussion about something that looks wrong. Thank you for that!

    On the subject itself:

    There are two common ways to implement token management. The most common one I am aware of is actually the text based one. Even a lot of cloud services save passwords as environment variables after a vault got unlocked via IAM. That's because the risk assessment is: If a perpetrator has access to these files the whole system is already corrupted - any encryption that gets decrypted locally is therefore also compromised.

    The second approach is to implement the OS level secret manager and what you're implicitly asking for from my understanding.

    While I agree that this would be the "cleaner" solution it's also destroying cross platform compatibility or increasing maintenance load linear to the amount of platforms used, with a huge jump for the second one: I now need a test pipeline with an OS different than what I'm using.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

    Jump

  • Which are all of them who claim to hear a difference.

  • Have any cities made dedicated bike roads?

    Jump

  • Oh boy, strap in, you're entering a world full of glory but also sadness because it's not your reality :(

    The short: yes and it's even wide spread in some countries. Even in car obsessed Germany it's usual to have either separate bike lanes or walking/biking only areas. Not wide spread or where we need it from my point of view but it does exist.

    And then there's Amsterdam. The only place I'm aware of the has a dedicated Wikipedia page(!) just about it's cycling infrastructure:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_in_Amsterdam

    But this is not only a western thing. From what I've read and heard Singapore for example has an amazing infrastructure for waling and biking as well.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • Agreed - and none of them are a catch-all answer suited for everyone from my point of view.

  • What are some product categories where the mainstream option IS the best option?

    Jump

  • I full heartily disagree because MacBooks are a trap: While I agree with you in terms of production quality it's a point of no return for a lot of use cases which rarely makes it the best option in my opinion.

    It's basically eliminating too many options down the road for it to be a good recommendation for most people for me. There are exceptions of course but i couldn't call it "best" with good conscience.
