I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

You’re going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can’t tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.

These are fucking kids. They are still learning what devices do and what their appropriate use is. If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush’s computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

It’s not lack of education.

It’s lack of impulse control.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

These are people writing laws about technology. They are absolute idiots.

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It’s in the public record as well if I’m not mistaken.

I’m pretty sure this will break the law of thermodynamics.

Is there anyway we can open source this technology? I’d love to surveil police and politician phones if possible.

So the MPA gives money to ACE to protect their copyright instead of investing it into a sustainable and equitable streaming service.

That just makes me want to pirate harder

Gates has good PR.

The problem is that I don’t want to only read news from one source. I also don’t want to pay 15 different news subscriptions.

If the same organization that shut down this repo would spend the time and money coming out with a joint account that was reasonably priced, people wouldn’t resort to piracy.

But nope. Each paper needs their own subscribers.

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can’t remember its name.

I’ve stopped buying TVs. It’s difficult to find a dumb one nowadays. I watch on my phone or my computer monitor.

In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, it’s better to fail than to be inconsistent.

So I suggest the opposite here. Start out by resolving the site 75% of the time. Then down to 20%, then 100%. Randomly make it not work with no predictably.

The great thing is if he uses his phone on a cellular network, he can’t be sure whether it’s because the site is working or because something hinky is going on in his network.

How “scriptable” is virt-manager?

My biggest issue with VirtualBox is that I have to install OSes as if I’m actually installing them. There aren’t any images (at least that I’m aware of) that can run with a command, like deploying an EC2.

They don’t. Companies regularly abuse DMCA notices because the law REQUIRES a hosting company to take down the information immediately.

It allows 14 days for the same information to be restored after receiving a counter notice.

Do they also suppress left/socialist content?

If they did, then yeah it’s a shit service.

I am by no means defending Nazi content. But if they are allowing any speech, I’d say this is closer to being “free speech” than Twitter currently is.

My company just plain old won’t install Firefox without a good reason.

I’m stuck using chrome or edge. Once the ad block stops working on chrome, I move over.

Even then it should be easy to add an additional field in their ad profile. Like “provide a list of domains your ads will go to.”

And then set up some sort of domain authentication similar to let’s encrypt or SPF records.

In the US, you can sue anyone for any reason, even if it’s frivolous.

You force the other side to respond, making them hire a lawyer to defend you, even if the case is dismissed on its merits.

I very much disagree with lemmy.world’s decision to block the community but I completely understand it. I exercised my right to move to a new instance in response.
