Musk Believes in Global Warming. Trump Doesn’t. Will That Change?
  • The thing is, global warming isn’t going to make the whole globe uninhabitable, just large parts of it. And Elon is rich enough that it won’t really affect him. He can move to wherever he wants, and can insulate himself from the displaced refugees. So to himself, it doesn’t really matter whether he believes in it, it probably won’t change his actions.

  • The Fediverse Desperately Needs Sustainable File Hosting
  • Ok, hear me out.

    We find the users with the slowest internet and start sending them all the data. They don’t have to keep anything on disk. Then they send it all back and forth between each other. Any time a user makes a request, we just wait for one of the slow nodes to come across the data and send it out.

    We use the slowest wires for all the storage. It’s fool proof.

  • What are the taboo subjects?
  • There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

    That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

  • What are the taboo subjects?
  • I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

  • Is Google Maps getting worse?

    My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

    Donald Trump has fully embraced sharing AI generated images of Kamala Harris.

    Does he realize anyone can make them? Like, for example, an image of him crying on his way to court while protesters throw cheese at him.

    [Solved] Help remembering a song.

    I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.

    Nephele WebDAV Server now supports deduplicated file storage.

    https://hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/nephele

    In the latest version of Nephele, you can now create a WebDAV server that deduplicates files that you add to it.

    I created this feature because every night at midnight, my Minecraft world that my friends and I play on gets backed up. Our world has grown to about 5 GB, but every night, the same files get backed up over and over. It's a waste of space to store the same files again and again, but I want the ability to roll back our world to any day in the past.

    So with this new feature of Nephele, I can upload the Minecraft backup and only the files that have changed will take up additional space. It's like having infinite incremental backups that never need a full backup after the first time, and can be accessed instantly.

    Nephele will only delete a file from the file storage once all copies that share the same file contents have been deleted, so unlike with most incremental backup solutions, you can delete previous backups easily and regain space.

    Edit: So, I think my post is causing some confusion. I should make it clear that my use case is specific for me. This is a general purpose deduplicating file server. It will take any files you give it and deduplicate them in its storage. It's not a backup system, and it's not a versioning system. My use case is only one of many you can use a deduplicating file server for.

    I wrote this article about grieving as an atheist.

    I talk about my beliefs about what happens during the process of death, and how that can provide comfort as an atheist.

    Recommendations for a bug tracker/forum?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for bug trackers with a forum feature? Basically something where users can report issues, request features, and ask questions, all about a specific service. Preferably, I’d like something that integrates with GitHub issues, but that’s not a requirement. Also I’d like something like a public roadmap or project tracker.

    Question: Best UI to manage VMs and containers?

    At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories.

    I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system.

    What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it.

    I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it.

    What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?

    Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.

    You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

    Nephele WebDAV server for Docker

    After a lot of work (cause I’m new to it), I published my first Docker image!

    Nephele is an open source WebDAV server written by yours truly. I’ve been using it for about a year now on my own home server. It basically acts as my self hosted cloud storage and all of my PCs and my family’s PCs back up to it. It’s FOSS, so use it for your own project. :)

    Don't be that guy.

    When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.

    Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.

    Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.
