    Or, you know, not overproduce.

    Opening the door: Making self-hosting friendly for newcomers

    Jump

  • I think you're right that the community could be more welcoming to newcomers. I also think there is a great point that newbies should be prepared to learn the technical side.

    It is terrific that nontechnical people want to self host, particularly as a way of keeping their data and services under their own control. But a large part of the attraction that corporate services like Google and Microsoft offer is, they remove the entire technical layer from users' view.

    As a result we have a few generations that largely don't know how to even host a basic website, much less rather more complex server software. If you want to admin a server and several services on it, it really is a good idea to know what is required to serve it securely, even only on a local network.

    And I'm coming at this from an end user's perspective, having dappled in home and remote servers for small projects, picking up some limited skills in the process. I have appreciated the GUI offerings that make it easier to set up a home lab or other server for beginners, but at the end of the day, I really think everybody should have (or try to attain) the technical knowledge required to operate or at least maintain the technology we use.

    This is not meant to trash on your Safebox project, but a more general viewpoint.

  • LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 + Root Updating Procedure?

    Jump

  • TIL. Will have to look it up for future updates. Preserving root is really the only drawback of updating LOS/mG.

  • LineageOS for MicroG 22.2 + Root Updating Procedure?

    Jump

  • For updates between minor versions, I just use the LOS updater in settings. I haven't seen any suggestions to uninstall Magisk beforehand, is that device specific perhaps?

    I do usually need to patch and flash a file to get root again after installation.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

    Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that's just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora's box moment if they stick with it.

    Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • It's the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.

    And it's not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It's the decision from above that SNW's sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.

    We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing...?

  • I had similar plans, but I opted for a seedbox instead. It gives me some peace of mind not torrenting on my own IP.

  • Bitcoin man sues Newport council over '£600m fortune lost in tip' - BBC News

  • By now it's probably a really smelly paperweight, and Bitcoin Man would be bugging them endlessly even to regain ownership over that 🤷

    I think we're living the best ending where it's never going to be recovered, and this dude is flailing ever more futilely at courts...

  • Yeah. Someday, in the ruins of the world, you may come across the decrepit remains of a man, held adrift only by the sheer momentum of that one time he was near The Big Win.

    "Come 'ere m'lad," he'll tell you, gesturing vaguely with one rotting arm at the debris of human settlements, "help me dig for my hard drive of lost fortune tokens."

  • housing, food security, climate crisis

    I would never want to rely on corporations' willingness to support those things. Corpos should, however, be heavily taxed so that the actual state would have money for those things.

    In an ideal world (hey, let me dream!) those funds wouldn't instead be siphoned into defense budgets.
