Seems like another bandaid solution that doesn't fix the actual infrastructure problem. Get ready for the day in court where a victim is asked what they were doing on public roads with a non C-V2X bicycle 🙄

This is what works for me. Tried the ergodox ez, and it made my carpal tunnel much worse. Personally, I didn’t want to put in effort on a DIY solution if it performing worse than store bought was a risk. The kinesis advantage 2 is by far the most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever used. Everyone is different however, Ymmv.

They use the stock android interface. They’re (oversimplification but) basically android with all the proprietary and Google stuff removed.

I know all the tech layoffs lately are due to corporate financial greed, but I can’t help to feel like it’s just a big “fuck you” to everyone enjoying the newfound freedom of remote work, to flood the job market with people desperate enough that they have to take a 100% in office role again.

I’m reading a book atm, Losing Earth, that kind of goes through the history of climate change scientists in the USA as they try to get the country on board with fixing things. Obviously during the Reagan years there was a massive pushback on the progress they were able to gain from the Carter administration, with one exception. When the story of Ozone depletion came out and was directly tied to CFC’s, even conservatives got on board with a CFC ban (as I understand it). But they only got on board this one time, for this one thing. Not for stopping climate change as a whole, obviously.

It makes me wonder if another simple and even more easily visible climate change disaster could spur a similar sort of change in policy. I think, if anything, we would have the increasing summer wildfires in North America (and worldwide) to use in replacement of the Ozone layer story. “Stopping summer wildfires” feels more concrete and “real” than stopping climate change. But I have no idea what, if anything, will convince politicians to act here. Plus, now the issue is infinitely more politicized than it was in the 80s, so who knows if tactics used then will work now. Idk where I’m going with this. Food for thought, I guess.

Woah. This is a game changer. Thank you!

 

Hey lemmy self hosting crew,

I've been setting up the arr suite via docker this week in my downtime and I configured sonarr and qbittorrent in docker containers routed through a gluetun vpn container. However, I mapped my download file location to my NAS, which is not behind a VPN. Alternatively, I could set it to my server machine's ~/Downloads folder, but again, afaik, this is not "within" the container's filesystem, it's just mapped to it via the docker-compose file, right?

Which brings my question, if I'm downloading to either of these locations, can my ISP see this occurring? Thanks everyone!

NixOS is actually what I was considering! I like the immutable aspects of it but the setup will require me to find some downtime in order to get started.

My immediate thoughts as a fedora user: Fedora is looked at as a bleeding edge testing distro for what eventually goes into red hat. By using fedora, I am sort of a beta tester for ibm, and am in some ways contributing to the improvement of a distribution (red hat) that goes against what I believe a Linux distribution should do. Given that, should I distro hop?

Or is my brain just trying to make me distro hop again?

I’ve been a happy fedora user for some time now. Maybe it’s time to start distrohopping again.

One can hope. I read an article recently that said in the US, millennials and gen z should be the largest voting bloc by 2028. The problem is, how many of them are voting? In my anecdotal experience, very few of my millennial peers vote. We’re gonna need a way to fight the doomerism mindset with younger people and make them realize we have the numbers to turn this around.

It looks like the admins at blahaj lemmy have or are working on a tool to implement downvoting, but have the downvotes weighted (the example mentioned on the thread was 5 downvotes = 1 upvote), in order to discourage brigading and other issues with downvoting. Not sure how tough this would be to implement, but it sounded like an interesting enough idea for me to want to bring visibility to it.

Personally, I voted to agree with the majority. I see the benefits of not having downvotes after spending some time here and on Beehaw, but I also think that it makes sense to include the option if most people want it.
