God how do you get out of bed every day.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

What a silly thing to say.

Every man woman and child thinks they understand how the world works, yet we are all of us burdened by misconceptions.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

It's fine to not like CloudFlare but this isn't really "evidence" of any kind. It's a one-sided rant on sub stack.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Oh my sweet summer child.

We'd all love to live in a socialist utopia where a house to live in is the right of all citizens, but sadly that's just not a reality here on planet earth.

"Shelter" may be a right, as in if you're destitute you'll get food and something to keep the rain off, but a nice house to live in is not a right.

Ultimately landlords are providing capital, which you need to pay for a nice house. Providing said capital is not in itself immoral.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

What a silly thing to say.

Try telling someone who is destitute that money is imaginary and see how they react.

Even if we could collectively decide that it doesn't matter youre still going to need some between now and then.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Landlord lets tenant use their capital in exchange for rent.

The fuck is a crypto entrepreneur?

It sounds a bit like when arbitrage entrepreneurs were hoarding toilet paper during covid.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Do you think it's weird how your own farts smell more engaging than anyone else's?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I don't know much about crypto but this doesn't seem right?

Didnt it hit an all time high recently? All while no one is using it to buy anything anymore?

A coin is worth what someone will pay for it, and people are paying lots because they think it will be worth more later.

It has no inherent value or utility.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I strongly disagree.

I don't think lemmy is necessarily an echochamber per se, rather its just a place where misinformation exists and opinions are manipulated.

Lemmy does use algorithms to show you the most engaging content, and there are absolutely bots and bad actors manipulating which content is prioritised.

The genocide Joe / vote abstinence thing was a very clear example.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

This.

I buy and sell heaps of stuff on Facebook.

We have young kids. It must have saved us thousands buying everything second hand and flipping it later.

Mirror all data on NAS A to NAS B

I'm duplicating my server hardware and moving the second set off site. I want to keep the data live since the whole system will be load balanced with my on site system. I've contemplated tools like syncthing to make a 1 to 1 copy of the data to NAS B but i know there has to be a better way. What have you used successfully?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Finding the right solution will depend entirely on what kind of load you're balancing.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I'm finding it hard to feel any kind of sympathy for someone who thinks they have rights to permanent access on any sort of streaming service.

I say that fully cognisant normies don't spend much time thinking about where there data is and who has the right to it. I just don't think many people would think of movies they've watched on their "telstra TV Box Office" as being in "their' library.

That said, self hosting movies isn't for me. For many people it might be. In my case it just doesn't make any sense to have a server with all the tb. I was catch & release torrenting for several years but more recently stremio. Without any doubt stremio has been the most convenient.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Calling people incels makes you sound childish.

Don't make me tell your mother what you said.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

We live in a capitalist society though.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Honestly it's kind of amazing that microsoft got authentication so wrong.

My circumstance isn't complicated, yet I seem to be relentlessly have trouble getting access to whatever thing because it's confused about my account.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Its not a question of which one is good or bad.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Promoting crypto you say?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

So it's like a VPN-busta-busta?

What if they have a VPN-busta-busta-busta though?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

"Honey there's no way I'm letting you pay $200 for that bookshelf I could build myself, once I buy $150 in materials and $700 in tools"

fine_sandy_bottom ,

That's true, but there's plenty of people like myself who buy heaps of tools with the intention of building all the things but just never get around to it.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Searx instances always seem to be blocked by the engines they rely on though?

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Do any of us still use Google in this way though?

Sure maybe nanna still talks to google like an Oracle... "oh Google what is the best printer of 2024"

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Well yeah I do have appliances, but I don't think I've ever searched for product reviews for household appliances.

I just don't find reviews for this stuff very helpful I guess.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I just evaluate the available products based on price and features.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I don't really follow you sorry.

I can't think of a time I've needed to buy an appliance I didn't know existed nor how it works ?

Even if I didn't really know anything that doesn't really matter. Usually purchases are heavily influenced by my budget. It's not a question of what features I need, it's a question of which product is the most reliable given the amount I want to pay.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I think you're over thinking these things.

There's just no way I would "research" washing machines. They all work in the same way. They all have the same features. The last time I bought one the deciding factor was a 10 year factory guarantee.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I can see that your microwave is important to you, but to me "I don't care" doesn't really capture how little I care about my microwave.

I think the one we have is probably the cheapest available when we bought it 8 years ago. The buying decision probably took less than 1 minute, without hyperbole. I only ever use one button, I just press start n times until the timer says something reasonable.

When buying this stuff I don't really see a risk of being locked into any bullshit because all microwaves can perform their basic function of heating food.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Sorry this just isn't my experience. I've never encountered a microwave which doesn't start when you press start. If I had one that was faulty I would discard it and buy another one for $20.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Yeah you did miss s few things.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I couldn't find a version of this that would work in a VM. The few I tried were "preactivated" and then complained about hardware changes when I tried to install in a VM.

No I'm not asking people to find me a working release. I'm just complaining that I just can't be assed mucking around with unlicensed installations.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

What's the big deal with Windows 11?

I don't use either win 10 nor win 11 much but I do know that I barely notice the difference.

I thought it was just a start menu rearrangement or something.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I didn't say I have no experience.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Yeah I bought some keys a while back.

It never seems to be as easy as "type in this key". They get linked to my Microsoft account or some nonsense.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I guess it depends what you're in to but it doesn't make much sense for me.

Most everything I do on servers now is in docker containers, and I back up the compose files and data from those so they can be deployed to a new server pretty easily.

Migrating between servers only happens once every several years. I feel like managing an ansible config would just be an additional layer of complexity rather than making it easier. Their isn't much configuration outside of docker in my case anyway.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

Cookbooks

ConocoPhillips

I have it!

Edit: they're a gas company?

God this is so weird. "You have to watch and see ads to support content creators!" The fuck I do.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Peertube is an attempt at solving this.

You make content you've watched available to others wanting to watch it.

The basic idea being that everyone provides a similar amount of upstream bandwidth as the amount they consume.

Ofc content creators and some servers will provide a lot more to cover any shortfall.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Meh. Blockchain just has such a stink to it these days.

Odysee uses the LBRY network which is a decentralised content hosting network, which is pretty great really.

LBRY happens to use blockchain tech but lets not talk about that.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I think they all do?

I don't really understand the need for a guide TBH. If you can set your mx then you can do the rest, and your provider will tell you if it's not done.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Friends don't let friends selfhost email.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I recently migrated from fastmail to mxroute.

Fastmail is amazing & beautiful but their pricing is just obnoxious now.

mxroute is perfectly serviceable, if a little clunky, and a fraction of the cost.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I could spend a lifetime setting up my self hosted stuff correctly.

Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I never tried hosting matrix because it was rumoured to be a bitch to host.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

The anti AI license is so lame.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Not really. There's always a skip or cancel button or "sign in another way" prompt somewhere. I think this means they're going to start prompting people more often.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

The actual solution is to pirate Windows 10 LTSC IOT

Awesome. Amazing. Thankyou. This looks great.

That said, the rest of your comment is a bit... arrogant? Especially after complaining that Lemmy users are arrogant. Linux didn't work for you and / or your use case. Fine. Everything else works fine for loads of other people.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

This reminds me of when I was 10.

I thought it was cool to draw the copyright symbol and year on the dumb drawings I made
