Oh, bullshit. There is nothing that has 1/100th of the effort that goes into gecko, because maintaining a web browser is ridiculously difficult. You're living in a dreamworld if you think any other project is within a lightyear of Firefox.

Make sure to shit on them every fucking time anyone says the name "Mozilla", that'll help us not have anything except Chrome in a couple years.

Most NAS VMs want you to pass them the raw device so they can manage ZFS themselves. For every other VM, I have the VM running on ZFS storage that Proxmox uses and manages, and it will manage the datasets for backup, snapshots, etc.
It is definitely the way to go. The ability to snapshot a VM or CT before updates alone is worth it.

That's not much of a pilot. I run 43kW at my house.

As another commenter mentioned, Lazydocker combines Dockge and Dozzle features, and adds some other things to give you a TUI environment that works over SSH so you don't have to open a web port to use it.

Excellent utility, this covers everything I used Portainer for and works over SSH.

TUI so it's easy to use over SSH. And I think it's a lot more featureful than dockge. You can remove images, get a running log, performance graphs and more environment info.
I put this on all my docker hosts and alias it to lzd, use it all the time.

As a lifelong hunter (for the meat), this shit is disgusting.
I have never seen what the point of dick-measuring trophy hunting is to start with, but at least I can somewhat respect people that go to a ton of effort to find a trophy animal in the wild, tramping up and down a lot of miles of bush to scout long before the season opens. It takes a lot of work to find these animals because there's a reason they've survived long enough to get to trophy size. Those animals don't taste good (I've passed up shots on "trophy" animals because of that) but as long as they use the animal, who am I to say that's wrong.
But paying someone to essentially release a farm-raised trophy animal so it walks in front of you to get shot is a fucking joke, and the people that call that hunting should crawl back under a rock and be ashamed. And these jackasses never keep the meat, at best the guide sells it or donates it, if it doesn't just get tossed to the dogs.
I've made the mistake of talking with a few of this type, and they are invariably completely entitled fuckwads that I wouldn't let in my house.

Well, if users don't the source of the actual work, then none of the forks survive. I don't know what people think are going to happen.
Shitting on Mozilla seems to be a competitor sport around here sometimes, and it's fucking self-defeating. In 5 years, there will only be the Chromium engine, and then Google will shut down the opensource side like they pretty much did with Android. And then we're truly fucked.

What does that even mean? It's not the function of an OS to have passkeys.

Fork, blah, blah, blah.
When one of these forks doesn't depend on Mozilla to do all the heavy lifting of security updates and compatibility fixes, then maybe we can talk seriously about forks. But no fork does fuck-all towards the hard part of maintaining a web browser engine. So forks mean nothing.

This sounded plausible until she said they poured bleach on the ground. Then it had the smell of bullshit.
I'm not sure if this is related to Night Light (which I don't have enabled) or even just the monitors dimming in power settings, but I constantly have to go and bring my brightness back up from 20% when I sit down at my computer in the AM. I have disabled Sleep as well, and the only thing left is the regular Energy Saving features of dimming after X minutes and Turn Off Monitors after X minutes, but I've set both of those to short timeouts and when it comes back, it's at 100%. Edit: For some reason I was on X11. I've switched to Wayland and will see if that changes anything. Any ideas what's causing this?
Why do the vast majority of these seem to either block off the 40pin header or convert it to female header that's incompatible with further hats? And why are they full sized, despite having minimal circuitry on them? I can appreciate the ones that build in a cooling system, but that doesn't need to block off all the pins that aren't being used by the hat. It seems like all this could be accomplished with a small board that doesn't interfere with everything else one intends to do with a Pi or Pi-clone. In fact, I'm surprised at the lack of built-in POE Pi boards out there.
I need a few of these for rpi's around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.
If I bring up things like mail or a post in a new tab, I have to go into Login/Manage Accounts and choose my account to do anything in that tab.
[Terrible diagram 1](https://i.imgur.com/bnTMhMp.png) I'm trying to figure out how long to make A and B here if I have linear actuator of length C (extended = 2C) in order to tilt my panels from completely horizontal to vertical so they avoid wind and shed snow respectively when I run up the actuator to the extremes respectively based on sensor input. Is there a simple formula I can use to plug the length of whatever actuator I settle on to figure A and B out? I know it will have to be a certain minimum and maximum size to work properly and might have to experiment to get an idea of what works in the end, but I'd like a reasonable start point to purchase an appropriate actuator. I've googled around and decided I'm not smart enough to even come up with the right search criteria, let alone figure this out myself since it's been 35 years since I've used anything except the most basic trig. This isn't really homework except for the fact that I'm trying to make my home work right. Edit: seems like if I select A=.75C and solve for B at horizontal, then it always works out. No idea why, but the couple examples I try seem to agree.
I'm looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don't need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second? What would be a recommended laptop for this scenario? I only want AMD CPU and GPU as I can't be arsed to fight with noVideo and Intel doesn't deserve my business.
I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it. It also lets you do things like Rt-click on it and do the regular operations like Search in Firefox. Spaces aren't preserved unless you specifically select them but search engines seem to be able to sort out the words usually. I post this in case you haven't been part of the 10,000 this day already, like me. Edit: seems to work in Firefox and LibreOffice, but not Kate or Okular. I'd love to see this as a general feature, it's handy as heck.
Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.
Thank you for the great work, Vernor. You'll be missed.
We have our house and a cabin. While I guess I could make an area for the cabin, it has it's own areas that I'd like to manage separately (and copy automations directly). I have purchased a HA Cloud sub but I don't seem to be able to get the cabin to connect to Cloud. Do I need a separate sub for the cabin at full price? This seems a little over the top, not to mention clunky to manage with different Nabu Casa logins. Or am I just going about this wrong? If anyone else manages two properties and integrates it nicely, I'd love to hear your solutions. I'm mainly subbing to Cloud because of the better TTS and STT response. Maybe I just invest in a skookum whisper/piper box instead?
I don't see that there's any sort of integration for writing code to process information from HA entities like Node Red + Companion. Am I missing something and this is more than just an interface for the config files and maybe a git client for those config files?
These things aren't bad, I've got a few that I use sort of successfully, but the speaker and mic aren't very powerful. I was thinking of building one with an ESP32 and i2S (not i2c, that threw me off too) speaker/mic, but I'm wondering if I'd be reinventing the wheel here if there's a better alternative already out there.
Got a young guy that needs a reasonable used laptop, in the $2-300 range. Looking for smooth but not spectacular graphics, and a 15" screen or better. Preferably with 2 drive slots so he can have an NVME or other SSD for the OS and a large rust drive for installing games. It's going to be plugged in when used, and weight isn't a great concern, it's just for travelling with. Any suggestions on what to look for on eBay?
If I pipe in something to `most` that's wider than my terminal width, it'll page it sideways but only single character at a time with an arrow key. I want `most` to behave like `less`, which will scroll sideways with an arrow key almost a full page (60 columns I believe), which `most` will do also if I use Tab/Ctrl-B or ">" and "<" (as gleaned from the man page). But I have no use for single character scrolling, so I'd like arrows to do the same as Tab and <>. Is there a way to change the default behaviour of `most` to the same horizontal scrolling behaviour as `less`? I would just use `less` except it displays the first page of a command like `docker ps` with lines wrapped for some reason (maybe this is some limitation in Dolphin?). If I scroll right the other columns show up right, but for some reason `less` and `more` both mess up the first page. No clue why `most` works correctly. Frankly, if I could fix `less` I'd be happier since my muscle memory makes me want to pipe to `less` all the time anyway, and it's installed by default in most distros I use, unlike `most`. Also, trying to search up help on anything with a name like "most" is next to impossible.
I did send a donation, but I want to make sure the people involved know I appreciates them. I set up an instance and have been using it along with a couple friends. It's fast, private and doesn't have a bunch of algo bullshit wasting our time. I have my subs and I watch them, and then I go and touch grass because I'm not sitting there watching trash that is being pushed at me on the feed. It's like a breath of fresh air.
cross-posted from: https://literature.cafe/post/2164461 I have been keeping an eye on this series over in !BannedBooks@literature.cafe and was intending to link the discussions for SF titles that I saw. The Handmaid's Tale is definitely an SF title that has seen it's share of fans and detractors. It has been banned or attempted to be banned in many jurisdictions including Western ones. What is the communities thoughts on this book, does it unfairly extend Christian philosophy into questionable territory or does it not go far enough? Is it pornography, and if so, why? Let's hear your thoughts. Bonus video: [Margaret Atwood using a flamethrower on the unburnable edition of the book.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpsMsAMY4eM)

I got interested in SF because the librarian in my elementary was a SF lover. There were racks of paperbacks that I gobbled up and it's stuck with me for decades since. It makes me sad to think that kids don't have the same chance I did to get interested at an early age in the most imaginative genre of fiction. We all need to do our part to pass it on. What are your suggestions for getting young people interested in science fiction? A few I remember from that time: Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series Heinlein's juveniles like Podkayne of Mars and Have Spacesuit, Will Travel McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern Niven's Known Space books
Because having to block 2 fanaticus communities every time a game is finished because there's a post in the winning and losing teams community is rapidly getting old, and I have no idea how many teams of how many different sports exist on that server, but it seems like a hell of a lot.
Having set up a couple of communities, there is a setting for language. Are these items showing up in my feed because the community has not set their language, or is something going on with language filtering on All? It seems like there's way more off-language things coming through on All in the last day or two.
