  • Oh nooooo

    Jump

  • I got the impression the first half is Watts proper and the second half is ai to put a modern spin on it. I didn't hate it tbh. Provoked emotion from me as it really hits the nail.

  • Yeah, if you tried to hold a cat like that they would not be impressed.

  • [solved] Has anyone set up a RaspberryPi with Alpine Linux as a headless system?

    Jump

  • also asked AI and it said that by default Alpine uses dropbear for ssh instead of openssh and the latter could be more strict when it comes to permissions. I’m not so familiar with the workings of ssh

    I'd stick to Raspbian if you're struggling.

  • Proton has handed over 32,076 users' data to governments since 2017. Their own transparency report states a 94% compliance rate in 2024.

    Jump

  • I'm not buying 'they need data cos they offer more products'. The companies have made different choices in how they build their software.

  • Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car?

    Jump

  • I find this a bit misleasing, especially when (in the uk) electricity is only ~50% renewables apparently.

    https://www.zemo.org.uk/assets/workingdocuments/MC-P-11-15a%20Lifecycle%20emissions%20report.pdf

    For example, a typical medium sized family car will create around 24 tonnes of CO2 during its life cycle, while an electric vehicle (EV) will produce around 18 tonnes over its life. For a battery EV, 46% of its total carbon footprint is generated at the factory.

    So EVs are a small improvement. Since I enjoy older cars and my privacy a lot more, I'm gonna keep enjoying them and not let manafacturers ram EVs down my throat, especially when a lot of them are hideous SUVs.

  • International Shitpost Wednesday!

  • Stoned turtle.

  • Leaked Car Industry Paper: Carmakers’ EU Demands Would Cut EV Sales In Half

    Jump

  • Why is allowing vehicles running on alternative fuels that have 0 emmissions a bad thing? Why are we all hell bent on pursuing EVs, inisisting that's the solution and just ignoring all their downsides?

  • What do you do when you're walking and someone you know is in front of you?

    Jump

  • Attempt to avoid, fail to avoid, blurt out "heyhowareyouyeahgoodthankshowareyou", walk away and think about that interaction for the rest of the day.

    [Question] alternatives to systemd

    Jump

  • I read up a little about why people dislike systemD

    I feel like this isn't the right way to research something. Is there any reasons it doesn't work for your needs?

  • Well I kinda am

    Jump

  • What are your stories like?

    Jump

  • But then it wouldn't be funny. I don't think this is meant to be taken too literally.

  • Gaza genocide

    Jump

  • Badly. And I don't look at news at all. I'm constantly back and forth ignoring it and wanting to do something. On one hand it's a war on the other side if the world, it doesn't directly impact me. On the other my government are actively involved and it's 2025, everyone is connected. I think maybe I can just donate, but that's a massive rabbit hole because apparently aid isn't getting through, and all the usual questions about charities and where my money is going. Then I think I'll give directly to families through GoFundMe or something, then I think how do I know they're real and not rich con artists sat in America or somewhere. Then I get overwhelmed and ignore it all. Then my goverment does something stupid again and the cycle begins again.

  • From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it...

    Jump

  • If you're genuinely interested then fair enough. Just saying it's not the only option, as a lot of people seem to think these days, and for personal projects I think it's bonkers.

  • Jury shown CCTV of alleged assault on police at Manchester Airport

    Jump

  • Looks to me like they go in unneccesarily heavy handed to begin with too.

    Not condoning anything the guy in blue does, but he's facing a ticket machine and is grabbed by 3 cops and has his neck shoved down.

    I am looking for a new sports watch/replacement for my Garmin fenix 6 Pro

    Jump

  • I've had a Polar Pace Pro for 2 years now, pretty happy with it in general though it does have a few minor flaws. In relation to what you're after:

    • It's fairly robust, I've managed to scratch the screen a little recently, but I have whacked it a fair few times.
    • Heart rate is pretty accurate, though sometimes it doesn't detect properly during a workout and shows 80odd when I know that's not true. Needs a twist or tightening then shows correctly, but can be annoying.
    • Sleep analysis is good. It's helped me realise how much even 1 drink hinders sleep. HRV, heart rate, breathing rate etc.
    • I charge about once a week with 3/4 workouts.
    • No drinking tracker that I'm aware of, but you could set alarms up.
    • Pedometer seems good, though doesn't cancel during a workout, so after a cycle it tells me I've done 20k steps.

    I had a Garmin before too and I'm happy with the switch.

  • Know before you buy: starting today, EU’s new labels shake up the smartphone market

    Jump

  • I genuinely can't figure this out. I found an iPhone label with 1000x, which seems obvious. So what the hell is XY00? Everything else in the image is an example value.

    Edit: right reading through this thread it seems its 100x the value, so XY represents a number, e.g. 15, then it would be 1500 cycles. The iPhone label I found must be from an earlier test or something. I like the rest but this seems unclear.

  • I bought a new teeth brush - this time from the EU!

    Jump

  • That seems debatable, and in my cynical mind probably influenced by manafacturers.

    I got so bored of throwing out ones when the battery had gone. My dentist didn't have any complaints last time I went, but guess we'll see in a few years if it was the right decision!
