Yes you can but the practicality of doing so is very limiting. Hell I ran my own CA for my own internal use and even I found it annoying.

The entire CA ecosystem is terrible and only exists to ensure connections are encrypted at this point. There’s no validation or any sort of authority to say one site is better than another.

My experience with self-hosted apps on my phone are limited. I’ve never used Plex so I never used it’s mobile app.

So thank you for the clarification.

Doesn’t finamp provide music player features?

I wish jellyfin would support downloading music out of the box.

It’s an absolute shit show.

Women have it bad. Honestly I don’t know how how you all have the patience to try to figure out which guy isn’t a psycho.

As a cis het man, I know that alone is enough to make some women say “pass”.

I feel like if men learned more about consent and empathy and stopped listening to assholes like Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, we’d be in a much better state.

He essentially got it for not being Bush.

Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.

That is the fucking point. Just like look at the CDC and FDA.

Their goal was to make science illegitimate. We won’t be able to trust a single thing that comes out of the US government for years if not decades.

They are trying to make chiropractor and physical therapist the same. By bringing chiropractors up while pushing physical therapy down. For the next 10 years you’ll need to ask yourself: did your physical therapist get their degree from a mini mall or from an actual college?

We can resist all we want but we’re reaching a point that no matter what we do, the system is fucked. The only way to fix it will be to completely dismantle it and start from scratch, which, again will make the alt right win. Because that was their goal.

I’d be livid if I wasn’t so damn impressed that Project 2025 authors figured out how to hack our government.

This is their training.

Wait what’s wrong with MariaDB?

It’s FOSS, it’s compatible with MySQL libraries.

tbf IAM is the bastard child of many cloud providers.

It exists to provide CISOs and BROs a level of security that no one person has access to their infrastructure. So if a company decides that system A should no longer have access to system B, they can do that quickly.

IAM is so complex now that it’s a field all in itself.

The point is that it’s not disabled now. They should degoogle themselves.

Or do a PWA so that it can run as a browser app

So…when should we see those apps on FDroid?

Tell me you don’t understand how GPL works without telling me how GPL works.

GPL has been battle tested in court and has the most precedence than any other license. Hell I’d even include proprietary licenses.

Core Android and ChromeOS are FOSS because they have to be. But because Linus Torvalds didn’t want to move Linux to GPL3, we have proprietary bootloaders with free software.

THAT’S how we have corporations profiting from GPL. Not because GPL allows anyone to use it.

Wait…WHAT?!

I don’t want to fact check this. Is this true? Is this what all the memes were about yesterday?!

I’d trust a Lemmy source more than a reddit source.

But that’s just me.

I’m sorry but I have to ask: what is the point of a 50 year mortgage?

It sounds like a dumb way to give banks even more interest.

“Do Not Split”

Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.

If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.

It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.

Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.

You say that…like that changes anything.

He’s already declared martial law by sending in military units to cities. He’s already done it.

What the fuck do we have to lose?

I’m rewatching it and always forget how funny the show is.

Right back at you!

You’re getting down voted right now and I think it’s important to understand why because I had a similar reaction not too long ago. I was curious to understand my own biases and what I think it’s important to share what I learned as a cis male in IT.

Women just want to be women. Some want to wear nail polish and “look pretty” while others want to just rock a T-shirt and jeans. Like men who wear full tux and debug code at 6pm on a Friday (because they aren’t farmers), they want to be what they want to be.

Men have the luxury to wear whatever they want (for the most part) and not get shit for it. Women have to do everything that men do and do it with maturity while handing the shit that men throw their way.

I learned this lesson when I was the sole male STEM counselor at an all girls camp. It was a volunteer gig that my company put together. They had last minute cancellations and I had time on my calendar and so I volunteered. I did not know it was all girls and I certainly did not know I’d be the only guy.

I stayed curious and helped where I could. My job was to be a project manager, help teams understand how to win their competition that had set requirements. So I walked them through all that and looked over their code. There as a dedicated “make up hour” where the girls were encouraged to make their presentations “pretty” with make up, glitter, etc. I personally found it pointless given how far behind we were but I kept my mouth shut.

And I observed.

The fact that these girls could do this and do IT was immensely powerful. You could see their spirits lifted. It rocked my world and made me check my own beliefs. Why not allow them to be pretty? Why not let them take an hour to put glitter and stickers on their board if it made them happy?

Did we win? No. But they enjoyed it.

In my 20+ years in tech, we need more women because they bring perspective in ways I don’t. Not because they want to be pretty because they provide insight in ways I don’t expect. Anything I can do to help make that happen I’ll gladly do.
