It’s unfortunate that (at least on the Bluesky side) an attempt at following a person doesn’t result in them getting a DM asking for that to be ok.

Which means following a person on Bluesky is not possible unless they’ve already opted in.

All I want to do is follow a couple of authors or content creators but none of them know what bridgy.fed is :(

Yes. On older generation/cheaper ANC this is perceived as increased “pressure”. It doesn’t seem louder but the physical sensation of loudness is there.

“…prohibits repair stores from repairing components on the mainboard. Instead, the entire component must be replaced…”

A flagrant disregard for the costs of e-waste on the environment. What a surprise.

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It’s produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There’s no prerecorded sound that would work.

Let’s be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They’ll sell if that doesn’t go in their favour.

Privately operated ICBM’s. I can’t see how that’ll fly but I look forward to finding out.

Is Yorkshire tea similarly fiddled with? Beats the pants off PG Tips as a general rule.

Sorry, I’ll revise to what I intended (since I also use it). “Does anyone pay attention to it? Do they fuck.”

In theory this is done. There is a Do Not Track (DNT) header that is browser defined. Does anyone use it? Do they fuck.

So to be clear, you want traffic coming out of your VPS to have a source address that is your home IP?

No that’s not how I read it at all. He wants his VPS to act as a NAT router for email that routes traffic through a wireguard tunnel to the mail server on his home network. His mail server would act as if it was port forwarded using his home router, only it won’t be his home IP, it’ll be the VPS’s

Wish this kind of joined up thinking happened in places other than the Nordics.

Data centres and industry exist and dump heat all over the world. Putting it to use is a no brainer.

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

This is a pretty clever solution. Most thieves won’t follow a cable that for all intents looks like a network cable, especially if it disappears into a wall plate or something.

I got lucky. Back when that privacy scare with Whatsapp made mainstream news my Aunt asked in the extended family chat what alternatives there were. I responded that I use SIgnal with my friends (all 2 of them on Signal at the time) and just like that everybody switched. 2 hours later my entire paternal family are on Signal, and still are.

If you’ve got a good network path NFS mounts work great. Don’t forget to also back up your compose files. Then bringing a machine back up is just a case of running them.

US tech wages are just nuts. In the UK I’m basically maxed out for a non-London based software dev at about £70k (~$87k). Meanwhile I have a friend who has managed to land a job with a London based US tech firm on about £120k (~$150k) which is massive for here but reading this is still a long way off what is possible.

Reads nice but your docs are 404’ing so I can’t investigate much :D

EDIT. Found it. You’ve got a ‘.com’ instead of a ‘.io’.

Mastodon doesn’t just use storage for local image uploads. It pulls, thumbnails and saves images from any incoming posts, including the thumbnails you might see on website links (pulled from the opengraph data most websites implement)

It’s possible to set a pretty short timeout for that data though.

I looked into Proxmox briefly but then figured that since 99% of my workload was going to be docker containers and I’d need just a single VM for them it made no sense to run it.

So that’s what I did. Ubuntu + Portainer and a shed load of stacks.

Mmm. The issue in this case is that it appears it’s only beehaw communities that do it. Everything else is working fine.

I’ve unsubbed/subbed quite a few times now. No change :(
