That you cannot understand technology without understanding the people. And you cannot understand people without understanding politics. Every choice you made has an impact on the world.

As it happens, I had this very conversation with a high school kid yesterday who was in my office on work experience. She said something to the effect of “I’m not political” to which I looked her dead in the eye and said: “You should be. Everything is political”.

Thanks for sharing. It’s always good to see people advocating for Free licensing for the right reasons.

As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?

Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.

Thanks for posting this! I have the same router.

Relevant.

We don’t use X, and we don’t use Facebook, and I’m not even close to feeling sorry."

Love it. Subscribed!

You may want to promote this in /c/solarpunk.

Honestly, this is so much better than those cases when the codebase is an absolute fucking nightmare are the senior dev doesn’t see it. Instead they gaslight you into thinking that this is actually best practice.

This might be fun to write actually. Basically you need a central server you connect to via a websocket that would plot points out on a map (maybe with leaflet?) on receipt of notifications pushed via said socket.

The trouble of course is that with a central server, you tend to incur costs, so you’d have to pay, unless some sort of P2P mesh could be established between participating parties. That’d be a fun problem to solve for sure.

Honestly, after having served on a Very Large Project with Mypy everywhere, I can categorically say that I hate it. Types are great, type checking is great, but applying it to a language designed without types in mind is a recipe for pain.

Very cool trick. I’ve never been comfortable with how Python package installation is effectively arbitrary code execution. It’s also a nice reminder that installing packages into a Docker environment is generally safer than going bare back metal.

Very slick. It looks like a thin wrapper around some pretty powerful tools, and I’m impressed that they’re still useful on such a low-power device.

I wrote an assistant a while back before Whisper was a thing, but now that I see what you’ve done, I’m going to have to go back and refactor.

Heh. We’ve convinced our kids that Paw Patrol and Cocomelon “don’t work on our TV”. All I had to do was let her select it a few times and then kill the network connection when she wasn’t looking. After that, we marked them as “disliked” in Netflix and now they never appear.

It may not last, but I’m doing what I can :-)

They also support genocide.

Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! “Bluey”, “The Owl House”, “Hilda”, and “Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts” are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)

I rather like the FSFe for general Free software stuff, but you may find nicer-looking stuff if you visit merch store for specific projects, like GNOME, KDE, etc.

Mozilla’s VPN is just reselling Mullvad, so you can support Mozilla and use Mullvad at the same time if you like.

You might want to consider just Dockerising everything. That way, the underlying OS really doesn’t matter to the applications running.

I’ve got a few Raspberry Pi’s running Debian, and on top of that, they’re running a kubernetes cluster with K3s. I host a bunch of different services, all in their own containers (effectively their own OS) and I don’t have to care. If I want to change the underlying OS, the containers don’t know either. It’s pretty great.

Revealjs is a pretty great replacement for PowerPoint, but it does require rudimentary HTML skills.
