Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • Yeah, but I try and keep as little MS as possible, so my DC is a Linux system, which works fine for LDAP and MS systems joining, but somewhat ironically I've yet to be able to get a Linux system joined to it. They actually have a helper app even outside of sssd but it seems to be poorly maintained. Was trying Bazzite again today based on another comment but no luck so far.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

  • Meep meep!

    What do you expect when the company is run by a loony toon?

  • US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnap of thousands of Ukrainian children

    Jump

  • How does cutting funding end up deleting data? Unless they where hosting this stuff on fed systems they shouldn't have been able to touch it, much less delete it.

    As for the 'maybe it was accidental', I'd laugh if it wasn't so painful to reiterate what kind of sociopath we have running things.

  • User banned by instance mod shows "Banned by moderator" on mine.

    Jump

  • Or maybe something somewhere else, wouldn't matter, if the user is canned from their home instance then they no longer exist to show up on your comm.

  • User banned by instance mod shows "Banned by moderator" on mine.

    Jump

  • I'm not quite clear all the details but lemmy.ml is quite prone to banning people there for activities outside of their house.

    If they where a .ml user and came onto your instance saying Russia/China/NK are bad that could get them the boot on .ml if they find out about it.

  • You would have to think of the user and the comm they post on separately. If a user is prone to spam/trolling then the home instance has every right to not host them, which would then have the knock on effect that they vanish from other places because that user no longer exists. It could be that the home instance got several reports saying the person was an issue.

  • Battle of the dirt-cheap tablets: Amazon Fire HD 8 vs. Walmart Onn 8

    Jump

  • Battle of who do you want to give all your usage data to so they spam you with ads?

    There's a reason why they're cheap, never used Walmart ones but the Amazon tablets required extra fees just to not be a permanent billboard on the lock screen.

  • I see these MFs on a daily basis

    Jump

  • This is part of the annoyance of Nix as a desktop though. With windows you have 64bit and (for whatever reason) x86 versions of apps and it's generally just assumed to work with what your running, unless you have an antique with win98 or something.

    With Nix there are a a whole pile of possible variables and ways to install things. Particularly with people getting so used to phone/tablet app stores the need for easy install, use, removal is needed for mass adoption. Nobody wants to create folder structures and set environment variables to use some app.

  • For server hosting it's the only way to go.

    Gaming has improved significantly, although it's rather frustrating that it's by all these compatibility layers and such rather than native run.

    For desktop, as a workstation and general purpose it's 'ok' with rough edges. Things like (limited tests with a couple common distros like Ubuntu/Mint/Bazzite) the nextcloud app not supporting virtual files that have been available for a while in Windows and domain auth being twitchy where I've tried.

    For the end user a big part is being able to just find an app and use it, no compiling or tweaking of settings needed for it to do what's expected. Package managers help greatly, but with the huge number of distros out there it makes it really hit and miss to say just go for it. The relatively few times you can just download a Linux version of an app from a site (as people are prone to doing if they go read about something on the web) you often would have to go chmod +x it and quite possibly have to run it from a CLI rather than just click the downloaded app.

    So usable yes, but in a place where I could just drop it on someone and say go to town less so...

  • Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn't see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.

  • Judge says dismantling of USAID was unconstitutional, orders Musk to restore access for employees

    Jump

  • I want to see some actual damn teeth here when felon inevitably looks to not comply, throw his ass personally in jail.

  • Are old people usually attracted to other old people?

    Jump

  • I would say maybe a case of what are you referring to as attractive. I'm also iny 40s and would say 20s looks good, BUT, the gap in lived experiences, world views, musical tastes, etc, would get tiresome very quickly.

    I also recognize that I'm not some Hollywood hero pretty myself, so trying to base a relationship on what is physically appealing as the first thought is not going to go far.

  • Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I'd like to maintain that state.

    I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn't seem to work with any of the 'AD compatible' replacements I've tried.

  • Big thing holding me up is domain auth. Someone had decent luck getting something like Bazzite joined to a DC without major manual work?

  • Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind

  • Trump Lawyer Refuses to Answer Judge’s Questions in Deportation Flight Hearing

    Jump

  • Court issues lawful order. Participant defies order. Participant is thrown in lockup for contempt. Trump throws a fit claiming it's unfair. Media and others debate if TrumpCo needs to follow court orders...

    You know, at least Nixon had the good grace to resign rather than being cast out, but we've gotten to a point where there's a major portion of the population who will actively defend blatantly wrong actions just because their camp is the one doing it.

  • The Legend Is Spreading

  • 867-5309 (just a guess)

    My most recent one didn't have a number. Maybe just someone pointing out open sign up instances to banish? Haven't bothered to look too far.

  • Trump tries to undo Biden pardons via social media proclamation

    Jump

  • “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden,” Trump added. “He knew nothing about them..."

    Funny enough we could just ask Biden about this, and even given an outright 'yeah, knew, read, and would do it again' Trump would spin up some other excuse to say it was fake, or a clone, or whatever other madness comes to mind.

  • Alphabet spins off Starlink competitor Taara

    Jump

  • Ah, see that's where not reading is a problem. Just saw star link competitor and remembered something a recently about China looking to launch a similar system.

    Odd they would phrase it as a 'starlink competitor' then though rather than 'a new ISP bid'. Wireless systems with directional antenna relays are not really new, not sure if any use laser particularly but the concept is essentially the same.
