I’m not unsympathetic to their cause, but I do expect that each and every one of these protesters then also boycotts all of Microsoft’s products; otherwise it would be hypocritical. In the end, that, if done en masse, will hit them harder than some banners…

Haha :) All that sand can be ruinous for keyboards, so definitely a not-safe-for-work environment ;)

Thanks! Right, it’s indeed a bit bland around the yaw, I could have continued there.

Very nice one! I like the hand behind the head. Poor Sisyphus, his life’s purpose’s gone!

Nice! I like the tiny format and how the hand and foot leave the frame, nice style.

My city! Nice photo! This reminds me of some old photos from about the same perspective that can be found on eindhoveninbeeld.com … it’s interesting to see how things changed around the lichttoren, which has been around longest. Here’s one I found from 1971:

And 1945:

Yes, it’s just sway

I’ve been using RSS feeds for youtube channels for a few years. I don’t visit the site if I can help it, I don’t login, I don’t “like & subscribe”, I don’t see any clickbait thumbnails and most important: I don’t see any ads. Just newsboat & mpv.

Good recommendation indeed, the zones of thought are awesome. One of my all time favourites!

I’d go for Alpine Linux in such case.

I’ll interpret non-US a bit broader as non-English. English is hugely dominant in scifi so it’s often hard to find good books in other languages. I’d also love to hear the recommendations of others too! A few I read:

• (German)
  • “Die Welten der Skiir” trilogy (by Dirk van den Boom): https://bookwyrm.social/book/593373/s/die-welten-der-skiir-1 is really great . He also wrote another trilogy (Die Reise der Scythe) which is also quite nice.
  • “3517 Anno Domini: Wir waren Götter” by Raik Thorstad. Note that his is a primarily an M/M romance, but it has a nice dystopian scifi setting.
• (Spanish)
  • “En un lugar llamado tierra” - I read this long ago, don’t remember much: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979935/s/en-un-lugar-llamado-tierra
  • La señal - https://bookwyrm.social/book/979918/s/la-senal
• (French) The works by Jules Verne should probably be mentioned here, despite being written well a century ago. “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”, as already mentioned in another comment, is a must-read classic.
  • “Helstrid” - I have this one on my e-reader for a while but haven’t properly started it yet: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1289177/s/helstrid , so I can’t say if it’s any good.
• (Dutch) Long ago as a teen I once read “Coriolis, de stormplaneet” and liked it: https://bookwyrm.social/book/979934/s/coriolis-de-stormplaneet

I’m using todo.txt, which is a basic plain text file following a simple syntax. I added various extensions to work with this: todo.txt-more, which does things like:

• make things accessible through a simple menu (dmenu/bemenu/rofi) system.
• time tracking functions
• synchronisation with github issues and/or e-mail

Done! Please join https://lemmy.world/c/kooikerhondje and post more photos ;)

Yep, people are enthusiastic about self hosting and like talking about what they host :)

When I am sending? Well, once things are set up properly I’m pretty confident that things arrive (though nobody can ever be 100% sure of course). I also tend to mail to the same recipient domains a lot, like for work and hobby projects, so once those are tested you get pretty confident.

Unnoticed downtime is usually quickly noticed, I depend on my server for a lot of things. Senders are often resilient enough to keep things in their queue and try a few times. There’s also a fallback MX registry at my (3rd party) DNS host which will queue stuff in case the primary MX goes down.

Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn’t even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn’t heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.

I’ve been self-hosting e-mail for over 15 years and hope to continue doing so. Although it’s being made increasingly difficult by big tech players. I wrote about it here: https://proycon.anaproy.nl/posts/rant-against-centralising-e-mail/

To answer my own question:

• E-mail (postfix, dovecot, rspamd, clamav)
• Web (nginx), various small websites including my homepage
• Fediverse Microblogging (Mastodon)
• Matrix Chat (synapse)
• XMPP Chat (prosody)
• Music streaming (mpd, snapcast)
• Home automation (home assistant and my own lighthome stuff, mqtt)
• IRC bouncer (znc)

And the basics of course:

• SSH (openssh)
• NFS

All running on an Ubuntu Linux server, but everything is containerised into mostly Alpine Linux podman (rootless) containers (and a few lxc containers which I’m phasing out).

Nice, you must be into deep learning with such a setup, any particular reason the deep deep learning models and GPU run in your server rather than in a powerful desktop system? Maybe you’re actively offering AI services to the outside world?
