Not a libertarian if you were referring to me. I envision a system in which we all contribute and take part instead of throwing all the effort on someone already providing you with the space and expecting them to do it all, when you can more easily do it yourself.
Sure, if I want a community about cooking and instead of finding cooking content I find insults and harassment, then I will leave. That's essentially an equivalent of the blocking feature I spoke about.
But I find it hard to believe that such a cooking community would become good by just having a moderator ban all the offenders, when they occupy most of the posts.
On the topic of admjn burnout, I find it ridiculous that we choose to put so much burden on instance and community admins. Why don't people just utilize their block functions instead of expecting admins to clean up bad posts and users as fast as possible?
Not saying admins should do nothing, but it should be sufficient for an admin to only do what's absolutely necessary to keep the instance alive (including removal of illegal content). Anything else should be considered extra credit and no one should be entertained complaining about it.
Is this the first time this happened BTW? Does anyone know of the history of this?
Which Proton version are you using? try using Proton Experimental or trying out other versions to see what works.
About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon
The argument isn't to say its better or good. Rather, it is arguing that all likely alternatives to said politician would show the same homophobia policy. So given a frame of reference of politicians of that time, their LGBT policy doesn't make them worse than realistic alternatives.
Thank you Luigi for freeing me from the chains of capitalism
Oh wait, his CEO killing changed nothing. Okay back to work I guess.
Do new torrents bypass this somehow, or is it just by sheer volume and popularity ?
Upon rereading, it looks like I misunderstood it due to conflating it with some other comments, so you're right. I apologize for the misunderstanding, and will edit my comment accordingly.
With due respect, that's quite different than the claim you explained in the comment I replied to, so I hope you will edit it to clarify that. edit: I seem to have misunderstood the original comment.
As to the point you stated in quotes in this comment (edit: which is what OP originally intended), I don't see how they're related. Criticizing China's crackdown on dissent must not mean you should deny their credit on executing CEOs.
Thank you for your comment. From my skimming of the articles you sent, they seem to argue that the state has a track record of cracking down on dissent and protests.
I'm not sure this proves your initial claim though (that CEO executions were done to combat government criticism), unless there's a detail in these articles that I missed by skimming too fast. Please let me know if I missed it.
While your claim is plausible, it is also equally plausible that they are acting within the defines of their state ideology, and we would need more evidence to prove it is one or the other.
Disclaimer: I only skimmed the articles and did not attempt to verify the evidence they present, as it didn't seem that they are addressing your initial claims.
So it’s planned economy that you’re disputing
No.
My question is very clear, why can't you address it without pretending I asked something else?
Again, you made the claim that CEO executions were made for the reason of seeking more control. Please provide proof that they were done for this reason and not any other reason. I have not asked for planned economy proof or anything else.
If your next comment does not answer my question, then you are being intentionally misleading
So which non-Marxist political economy or sociology defines this elite class? Usually class politics is attributed to Marx
The comment I replied to says:
Working class rebel vs Elite class looking for more control
Notice the part highlighted in bold. I am asking for proof of this. In other words, proof that the Chinese government executed CEOs only because they sought "more control". Surely we are not expected to blindly trust this claim, right?
Please show your work. What is the proof that it was done to consolidate power?
This isn't to mention that your use of the word authority is strange. How exactly do you determine who has more authority between a US house representative vs. a CEO?
On a related, is there a list of good open source strategy games? I'm especially interested in grand strategy.
Ever had a question about Linux but felt too afraid to ask? Well now's your chance, ask any question about Linux, no matter how noob or repeated it is, and I and others will help answer them.

There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.
The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.
I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.
The link is from a pro-Hezbollah source. Summary in my own words below.
-
Hezbollah's leader Hasan Nasrullah addressed in a speech Israel's attack on Beirut, which killed civilians and assassinated Fuad Shukr, hezbollah's most senior military advisor. Shukr is a founding member of Hezbollah.
-
Nasrullah also addressed Ismail Haniya's assassination in Iran, who was the head of Hamas, saying "Iran will not remain silent on this".
-
Israel had previously claimed the attack on Beirut is in response to an attack that killed civilians and children in the Golan heights, a territory of syria that Israel occupies, and Israel blamed hezbollah. Nasrullah rejected the claims - "we have the courage to admit if we made a mistake, but we reject the responsibility of this attack". Nasrullah claimed that Israel's attack is part of its war, rather than a response to the alleged attack.
-
Nasrullah vowed to avenge the attack on Beirut, citing that Israel does not know which red lines they have crossed.
-
Nasrullah said that Hezbollah has so far maintained a support front for Gaza, but that this attack has marked a "new phase" of the war.
-
Nasrullah announced that the support front for Gaza against Israel will resume tomorrow, but that is completely separate from the response to the attack on Beirut. Israel must expect this attack anywhere in occupied Palestine, a full and real response rather than a symbolic one, he said.
Was cell seeking out to destroy the earth? Or hurt people?
I know he absorbed people to reach his perfect form. But it seemed that was all he wanted. Was cell planning to do anything evil after reaching perfect form?
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?
Xmpp seems way easier to host, requiring less resources, has many more options for clients, and is simpler and thus easier to manage and reason about when something goes wrong.
So what's the deal?

Whether you're really passionate about RPC, MQTT, Matrix or wayland, tell us more about the protocols or open standards you have strong opinions on!
Given the extistence of technologies like Monero and SimpleX chat, I wonder if it is possible for a truly anonymous content sharing platform to exist? And does it?
Use cases:
- sharing pirated content without a link back to you
- journalists or political activists not wanting to be found or caught by a government
The platform should not allow the following to know the details of what you do on this platform:
- users on the platform: should not know the identity of a poster unless they disclose it
- the host of the platform: should not know which content belongs to who, or be able to deduce it via traffic logs
- Intermediates like the ISP, DNS, or your router should not be able to link any content to you. However it is okay if they know that you use the platform at all, just not what you do with it.
Does something like this exist?
I thought I'll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!
I'll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!
Curious to know the coolest things you achieved by configuring your kernel. I know kernel config can be boring, but I'm hoping someone will have an impressive answer.
For me I have a very lightweight kernel that runs wayland on nvidia without any issues to date.
I'll start with mine. yes part of this was to brag about my somewhat but not too unusual setup. But I also wanna learn from your setups!
Anyways: I primarily use Gentoo Linux.
I have two headless servers: a Raspberry Pi 4B and a Oracle cloud VM (free tier). Both running OpenRC, and both were running mainline kernel with custom config (I recently switched the Pi to PiFoundation kernel due to some issues). The raspberry pi boots from SSD and has no sd card inserted.
Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.
I have a desktop running gentoo and a laptop running arch, but hoping to switch the laptop to gentoo soon.
Both are daily driving wayland (the desktop had nvidia card and used for gaming). The desktop is running a kernel with a minimal config that compiles in 2-3 minutes.
What's your unusual setup like?
My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet.
Lemmy was much smaller back then. I really wanted it go get bigger, and tried to contribute to it. But it was small enough to be unsatisfying, so I would go back and forth between lemmy and Reddit.
After the Reddit fiasco, I shifted more and more towards lemmy and less towards Reddit. I finally abandoned Reddit when third party apps broke. I only go there for specific questions in communities that aren't active on lemmy.
What about you?
I am looking to contribute to striker funds, if possible. I am located in the US, hence why I choose it.
I am hoping for striker funds that would be effective enough to make change. In other words, they may be the last thing a group of workers needed to decide to strike.
I am hoping the fund is efficient in managing its funds, rather than a significant fraction going to administrative costs. Very preferred if the fund's financials are fully transparent.
Any recommendations?
Can anyone recommend cheap laptops that have good build quality and see lightweight?
I aim to use it for programming, but I connect to my desktop for most hefty work so it doesn't need to have solid performance. 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage are enough for me. a lower grade CPU would still be good; a i3 that's 6 cores is enough.
What's really important to me is build quality, especially the keyboard. I also don't want it to be big. 13" would be enough, but not too picky here.
Any recommendations? And are there any communities that are better to ask this in?
Budget: I am hoping to pay $400 or less, but willing to pay $1000 or even more if it's justified or the value is worthwhile
OS: Linux. I can install it myself.
Tiling window manager users: how exactly do you use yours?
Do you have advanced keybindings for bringing up frequently used programs?
Are there less common layouts you use frequently?
Do you use any advanced or fancy features?
Context
I want to host public-facing applications on a server in my home, without compromising security. I realize containers might be one way to do this, and want to explore that route further.
Requirements
I want to run applications within containers such that they
- Must not be able to interfere with applications running on host
- Must not be able to interfere with other containers or applications inside them
- Must have no access or influence on other devices in the local network, or otherwise compromise the security of the network, but still accessible by devices via ssh.
> Note: all of this within reason. I understand that sometimes there may be occasional vulnerabilities, like in kernel for example, that would eventually get fixed. Risks like this within reason I am willing to accept.
What I found so far
- Running containers in rootless mode: in other words, running the container daemon with an unprivileged host user
- Running applications in container under unprivileged users: the container user under which the container is ran should be unprivileged
- Networking: The container's networking must be restricted. I am still not sure how to do this and shall explore it more, but would appreciate any resources.
Alternative solution
I have seen bubblewrap presented as an alternative, but it seems like it is not intended to be used directly in this manner, and information about using it for this is scarce.
Image Alt Text: "After downloading a 2.5GB movie
Me: Presses play Movie unsupported file" A person is shown with eyes on her laptop punching the wall beside her, causing it to crack.
This is a major escalation that could greatly expand the war and drag hezbollah deeper into the war, which was already involved in skirmishes with Israel in Lebanese regions that Israel occupies.
Note: the verbiage of the article is minimizing the focus on Israel, and they spend half the article justifying the attack as "not an attack on Israel" an effort to minimize how much of an escalation this is.
EDIT: I enabled CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION and that caused it to work. It had nothing to do with the device itself but the partition type on the sd card.
Thank you do much rattking for the help!
Original post:
Hi all, I am using a custom configured linux kernel (Gentoo), with very few things enabled. It has done me very well so far and taught me a bunch, but there's one small issue I have been having lately that is annoying. My SD-card reader (a USB device) is not working, but it works perfectly fine on my arch linux laptop without any kernel configurations.
Is it possible to tell which drivers or kernel configurations I need by looking at the laptop that is working?
More context about the issue
On the machine where it is not working, after plugging the device in, I see this in lsblk output:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sda 8:0 1 59.5G 0 disk nvme0n1 259:0 0 400G 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1G 0 part /boot └─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 400G 0 part /
The device does show sda but no sda/sda1. This is opposite to the laptop, where I do see a sda1 below the sda device, which I can mount using mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/point
What I tried
I tried enabling the following kernel configurations: MMC MMC_BLOCK MMC_SDHCI MMC_SDHCI_PCI MMC_RICOH_MMC MMC_SDHCI_ACPI
Still, this did not change the result.
I tried looking into the logs, but could not find anything interesting. I am using the sysklogd system logger instead of systemd's journalctl
The reader I bought
I bought this a long time ago from amazon: https://algopix.com/products/B08N4N7Q7J-zhoubin-usb-30-sd-card-reader-for-sdxc-sdhc-sd-mmc-rsmmc-micro-sdxc-micro-sd
Yes I know I cheaped out. But it worked for me until I tried it on this one computer, so I wish to make it work.
Final Question
How can I make this work?
West Asia - Communist - international politics - anti-imperialism - software development - Math, science, chemistry, history, sociology, and a lot more.
