Darf ich ehrlich sein? Ich fände das besser, als 4 Jahre gaslighting. Genau so scheiß Politik, aber nicht frustriert immer wieder aufs neue argumentieren müssen dass die kooperieren.

Natürlich hoffe ich trotzdem das keins von beidem passiert. Aber Vertrauen hab ich nicht da rein.

Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.

Wird der die nächsten 4 Jahre nach jeder einzelnen Abstimmung sagen "ich kann nix dafür, dass die afd mit uns gestimmt hat! Wir haben keine offizielle Kooperation! Brandmauer steht! Ist Zufall, dass wir halt der gleichen Meinung sind!"

...ja, oder?

😭

I usually do, I promise. Anyways, that was 6 years ago. We're stil going strong, making the most of life in this universe :)

Sorry, I should have gone more into the actual belief. For her it was less of an "if I make a decision that leads to my death in this universe, there surely is a parallel universe where I did not!", it was "if I die in this universe, thanks to an infinite multiverse, there must be one where I spontaneously start exisitng with all my exact memories from the previous life".

Oof that reminds me...

When my partner and I had already been living together for a while, we had one of those "cuddle on the couch and deeptalk" days, when she confided that, while she was not religious in any traditional sense of the word, she felt immensely comforted by the thought of an infinite multiverse existing.
"If there's an infinite amount of parallel worlds, then I choose to believe that even if I die here, life goes on in another world, so in a sense my being and existence do not simply vanish completely. Same for you! And hey, even if we both die, we'll get to continue living together in some version of the infinite multiverse!"

It was clearly a thought that comforted her a lot, and at the same time a rather intimate belief that she chose to share with me. So, like the idiot I am, I stared her in the face blankly and went "There's an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, and none of them are 2".

I really regret that. She let me know later that that one sentence shattered the belief for her. Which is sad, because it's such an innocent thought. There's no religious behaviors or conditions or rituals attached to it, it's just comforting.

I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it's literally all conspiracy theories, but that's not true, there's also some "sponsored" posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

What a sad joke.

If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same "free speech" benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that's probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim "we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!" does make a great dogwhistle for "you can be a terrible human on here, don't worry"

  • has a dick so utterly ginormous that even the slightest bit of arousal drains a sufficient amount of blood from his system to make him pass out

Yeah "Delicious in Dungeon" makes no sense in the same way "Attack on Titan" makes little sense. HOWEVER.

That narrator going "Mmmmh, Delicious in Dungeon! Ooooohh, delicious in dungeon!" at least once per episode is just absolute perfection and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Ne, im Gegenteil. Viele die mit einem Monitor "geübt" sind könnten mit zwei effizienter sein.

Keine Ahnung, die Diskussion ist echt müßig. Sowohl meinen Code als auch einen Browser gleichzeitig sehen zu können, ohne dass irgendwas abgeschnitten wird oder ich dauernd Fenstern zwischen Workspaces verschieben muss ist enorm angenehm. (Hab zwei im Quasrformat über einander hängen.)

Wenn ich muss, kan ich mit einem Arbeiten. Aber es bietet genau 0 Vorteile, und etliche Nachteile.

Hä, ich auch. Trotzdem sind zwei Bildschirme einfach nötig. Ich bekomme, wenn ich nur mein Laptop zur Verfügung hab, vielleicht 40% so viel erledigt wie am PC mit zwei Monitoren, beide mit Hüperland

 

Schadenfreude 🙂

 

Five years ago, I bought a Supernote A5. It was (and mostly still is) a great device for reading and writing on an eInk display, and it runs plain old linux.

The deciding reason I went for this device instead of the competition is that I was "under the impression" that they were about to enable full SSH access to the device! Awesome!

"Why were you under that impression?", I hear the skeptics ask. Well, their spokesperson has stated that they would do so. Via mail, and on reddit, publicly, multiple times. I was still torn, so sent them a DM, asking if this was ineed factual. "Yes", they said, "the next quarterly update will enable SSH access!".

Great!

Well, it's been 5 years. They did not follow through. A couple updates were published, none contained the promised functionality, the spokesperson stopped answering questions about SSH. The last software update I received is from 2.5yrs ago. Mentions of the original Supernote A5 have largely been scrubbed from their website.

Let me be clear, the device still functions perfectly. But it is in danger of becoming e-waste because it is so needlessly complicated to get stuff on the device. I'm currently in need of an ebook reader with (ideally) OPDS capability, and I am pretty confident I'd be able to get something like koreader running on this, or at least just run a script to sync files over SSH. Also, I frankly feel wounded in my pride having a Linux device in my possession which refuses to do my bidding (I'm joking of course, but also I am 100% serious).

Here's all I know:

  • plugging it in via USB, the device reads as an MTP device, with access only to the documents/books/... stored on it
  • you can place an update.zip file (obtained from the SN website) into the root of that MTP directory, and upon reboot, the device will update. To me, this appears to be the most promising route of gaining access.
  • unfortunately, the zip file is encrypted. The decryption key clearly has to be known to the device, but since I have no access to it,...

I'm a software engineer, but I have zero knowledge of the "dark arts", so to speak. If anyone could help me (or point me into the right direction!), I would really be grateful. I don't want this (generally nice) product to turn into a paperweight instead of a paper replacement :(

 

Basically, the title. After years of inactivty, I'll be taking music (cello) lessons again, with my teacher of yesteryear, from whom I've moved half a country away.

She has suggested Zoom but is open to alternatives. I don't particularly like Zoom, plus I have a feeling better quality can be had through a custom solution - but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what exactly would be a good fit for this project.

Maybe Jitsi? Does someone here have experience with it and could tell me if it's possible to set something like a "target" audio quality?

For hardware, I basically have two options. Both are already in use, for different things, and have sufficient processing capabilities - albeit no GPU:

  • host everything at home. Plus: lowest possible latency from me to the server. Not sure how much that is worth though.
  • root server in the Hetzner cloud: much faster network speed. Again though, not sure how beneficial that is, the ultimate bottleneck will always be my upload speed (40Mbit)

OK, I realize that this post is a but of a random assortment of thoughts. I'd be really happy about suggestions and / or hearing about other's experiences with similar use-cases!

Hi,

not sure where else to post this. For a while now, I've unsuccessfully been trying to get WireGuard to work with Crunchyroll.

Setup is as follows:

  • dedicated server hosts a wg-quick instance in [neighboring country]
  • OPNSense acts as peer on a single IP
  • I have a rule for routing the entire traffic of some source device via that IP

This works just fine. Handshake successful, traffic is routed via the server. traceroute shows the server as the hop immediately after my device's local gateway. The connection is stable, and fast.

...except for Crunchyroll. The site / app itself is fine, but I can not, for the life of me, get a video to play. It just keeps loading forever.

I don't think this is an issue with CR recognizing that I'm not where I say I am - looking online, it seems pretty easy to use CR with a VPN. I've also tried from multiple other devices, all with the same symptom.

If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them 😅

EDIT: ~~It was MTU. Had to manually set it to 1500 on both devices.~~

Nope, still the same issues. I was using the fallback interface there briefly.

EDIT: It WAS MTU related, I had to enable MSS clamping on the OPNSense.
