  • Squash, definitely squash.

  • My client is just set to not display nsfw posts. I never see it and I've blocked very few communities.

  • What should have been a tool was designed to be a trap, because greed.

  • Mull works well on android. Firefox login works too.

  • Not entirely. There is LibreWolf (Formerly IceWolf) on desktop. https://librewolf.net

    Mull is apparently an Android option that's also a fork, but I'm just installing it now, and can also say its only on FDroid.

  • .nomedia files are fairly standard across applications on Android and Linux. Nextcloud and other applications will use them to know not to scan that forlder with automation, thumbnail creation, ml, etc. Its a simple and standard signal. It follows the .file convention so it should be hidden when not browsing with hidden files on.

  • It still irks me that the lumen level laws about headlights were circumvented by "unless installed from the dealer"

    Bright lights mean higher contrast between the lights and everything else making it fucking impossible to see anything but the car ahead of you.

  • Yep. Can confirm as well. And a weaker US democracy would create a power vaccuum in NATO that would very likely be exploited with the power dynamics in play on the global scale in recent years.

  • Meanwhile, here in reality land:

    People are downgrading their firmware to ancient versions likely containing old CVEs because fuck HP and their printer cartridge mafia.

  • If you're a user interacting with a terminal => apt

    If you're writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get

    Apt is just a wrapper around apt-get a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.

    Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.

  • There are a lot of bees that look like flies. Check out mason bees.

  • Gee thanks for reporting on the obvious, Jalponik.

    We knew this. And even this whistleblower report is old.

    What a garbage news outlet.

  • Names

  • Religions have been doing this for millenia.

  • It's a mobile game - basically a pay to win cookie clicker. It can be kind of enjoyable if you like cookie clickers.

    But, no voices, minimal effort content in the game and extremely repetitive gameplay. I didn't enjoy it but if you like repetitive cookie clickers the flavour text is occasionally enjoyable. This one example reference looks like a bit of fun.

  • Brand recognition if you're in the market for a job relevant to the contents of your site or if you plan to run a blog.

    Otherwise custom domain is really just vanity.

  • Ah sorry, I'm an SRE/Devops guy professionally so I forget that containers are still way out of folks experience range 😅

  • Yeah fair, I think of them as simple.. Guess I've been in the trenches too long 😂

  • If you are looking for true low maintenance, avoid needing a DB. So I'd stay away from the WordPress suggestions. Not to mention keeping WordPress CVE free is often a full time job and the opposite of low maintenance.

    I'd use one of the many tools out there that takes Markdown and coverts it to HTML, stick that in a basic CI job on Gitlab or Github to build out my HTML and I just write markdown.

    Once that's in place how I would decide if I wanted a custom domain.

    If I don't need a custom domain, then I can just augment the pipeline to publish to Gitlab/Github pages.

    If I want a custom domain then it depends on budget and expected traffic, but I'd likely just put it on an ECS container or in an S3 bucket and shove cloudfront in front of it, because if it's small enough it will likely qualify for free tier AWS. If it's too big for free tier then I'd stick with a container but likely either put it on a cheap cloud node with Apache and letsencrypt and one of the smaller providers like Linode/DO/Vultr

  • Campbell River resident here, the bear situation here is getting bad. City has a bylaw that explicitly permits people to put their garbage out the day before garbage day, directly contradicting the federal laws about securing bear attractants.

    Add to that the complete lack of bylaw enforcement around securing bear attractants and the number of habituated bears in the area is super high. There are at least 4 animals likely needing to be destroyed this year in Campbell River alone there are more if you include the other cities in the area.

    Current council is more concerned with persecution of the homeless and any business that treats them like humans. All bylaw enforcement seems to be 100% focused on that.
