Petty pedantry
  • The complaint isn’t about the colon in OP’s image, it’s the colon in OP’s explanation.

    OP complaining about an insignificant capitalization mistake in a Twitter post, while making a far more egregious grammatical error in their explanation is just...*chef's kiss*

  • Why the watt is the most important spec in battery-powered devices
  • I don't understand why everything isn't just rated in Wh or mWh. It gives them a bigger number to advertise and it's voltage-independent. Sure there are load-dependent conversion efficiencies that complicate things a bit, but nobody is going to get up in arms about a 5% deviation from the advertised spec due to less than ideal conversion efficiency. Compared to trying to figure out how many recharge cycles I'll get on my 5000mAh laptop battery from my 20000mAh power bank (what voltage is that laptop battery running at again?) a 5% efficiency drop is a big nothing burger.

  • If only she was out of focus
  • Agreed. Trump needs to go, but assassination would make things even worse. Trump, Musk, and Vance need to die of simultaneous heart attacks while jacking each other off in a K-fueled rager. That’s the only way we get out of this.

  • Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users.
  • Yes, and Bitwarden+SimpleLogin. Bitwarden to keep track of login info including the alias that is used for that site. SimpleLogin is where the aliasing is actually handled, they have a decent UI for enabling/disabling or generating reverse aliases (for outgoing emails) when needed.

    It does take a little more effort to manage it, but it’s worth the payoff. I’ve been using this setup for about 9 months now and I finally got my first spam email a week ago. I looked at the address it was sent to, it was an alias I used at a site I ordered something from about 6 months ago. I sent them a message letting them know that either someone at their company is selling customer info to scammers or their database has been leaked, then I shut off the alias. No more spam.

  • 800K Oklahomans stressing over Social Security — as insiders warn of ‘system collapse’ within 90 days
  • I wasn’t using boomer as an insult, I was specifically referring to the generation that is currently either retired or in the process of retiring and is most affected by SS cuts. Like it or not, that generation voted overwhelmingly for Trump, especially in Oklahoma.

  • 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties
  • it gives people the option to use an alternate app store if they want but it doesn’t force anyone to.

    That argument sounds great in theory, but would break down after a month or less, when companies start moving their apps off of Apple’s App Store and onto a 3rd party store that allows all the spyware Apple has forced them to remove if they want to have an iOS market. This move DOES force people to use alternate app stores when companies start moving (not copying, moving) their apps over to said stores to take advantage of the drop in oversight.

  • Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all?
  • Same, I don't let Docker manage volumes for anything. If I need it to be persistent I bind mount it to a subdirectory of the container itself. It makes backups so much easier as well since you can just stop all containers, backup everything in ~/docker or wherever you put all of your compose files and volumes, and then restart them all.

    It also means you can go hog wild with docker system prune -af --volumes and there's no risk of losing any of your data.

  • How best to store a media library in proxmox?
  • I would separate the media and the Jellyfin image into different pools. Media would be a normal ZFS pool full of media files that gets mounted into any VM that needs it, like Jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent, etc. (preferably read-only mounted in Jellyfin if you’re going to expose Jellyfin to the internet).

  • Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?
  • As far as networking, from what I could see the only real change casaos was doing was mapping its dashboard to port 80, but not much more. Is there anything more I should be aware in general?

    It depends on how you have things set up. If you’re just doing normal docker compose networking with port forwards then there shouldn’t be much to change, but if you’re doing anything more advanced like macvlan then you might have to set up taps on the host to be able to communicate with the container (not sure if CasaOS handles that automatically).

  • Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?
  • The nice thing about docker is all you need to do is backup your compose file, .env file, and mapped volumes, and you can easily restore on any other system. I don’t know much about CasaOS, but presumably you have the ability to stop your containers and access the filesystem to copy their config and mapped volumes elsewhere? If so this should be pretty easy. You might have some networking stuff to work out, but I suspect the rest should go smoothly and IMO would be a good move.

    When self-hosting, the more you know about how things actually work, the easier it is to fix when something is acting up, and the easier it is to make known good backups and restore them.

  • What search engine(s) besides DuckDuck have !bangs?
  • Yes it’s paid, but the quality is worlds above Bing, DDG, or Google. The best description I can make is that it’s what Google Search was about 15 years ago, back when there were no AI results, no ads, no artificially promoted results, and you could vote on results and block domains from appearing in your searches. Back when Google Search was actually good.

    So it doesn’t do anything new or groundbreaking, it’s just what a search engine is supposed to be, in a time when every other option has abandoned that goal in the endless search for more revenue.

  • MAGA influencer and Fox News guest indicted on child sex abuse charges
  • It’s because they exclusively get their news from places that refuse to report on those things. Then when they do hear about them, they dismiss it as fake news because if it was true then surely their super awesome news source would have told them about it.

  • Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically
  • While true, and I have a lot of DRM-free music that I’ve bought from Apple, the difference is that getting music purchased from Apple onto your computer in a usable format is a bit of a pain, and it’s all lossy. Music from Qobuz can be downloaded directly from their site after purchasing, in lossless FLAC format, and many of their albums are available in high-res 24-bit and/or 96 kHz format as well.
