Voroxpete,

Hold on, you’re right, we should consult someone with actual military experience who handles fully automatic long guns professionally. Preferably someone like a front line soldier with excellent marksmanship credentials.

One sec…

Yeah, my wife said this is dumb and you shouldn’t do it. You’ll just fuck up your barrel. If you want to get good at holding a gun while shooting, hit the range.

Voroxpete,

To be fair, a lot of GOG games are already for CPUs and OS’s that don’t exist. Like, a significant amount of their library was meant to run in DOS on a 486. They’re pretty fucking good at making that not be a problem.

Voroxpete,

No joke, my wife actually owns that helmet and it is so much more ridiculous looking in reality. Like, truly one of the dumbest helmets of all time.

Voroxpete,

So, end capitalism and build a fully automated post-scarcity utopia where machines do all the work and humans spend our lives doing the things we really want to do?

Sounds good bro, let’s do it.

How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub? (docs.github.com)

Just wondering what people are using to meet the 2FA requirement GitHub has been rolling out. I don’t love the idea of having an authenticator app installed on my phone just to log into GitHub. And really don’t want to give them my phone number just to log in....

Voroxpete,

That seems like it defeats the “2” part of 2FA. If your password manager is compromised the attackers now how complete access.

Voroxpete,

That’s still a single point of failure. What happens if someone finds an exploit that bypasses the login process entirely?

Voroxpete, (edited )

I love 1Password, they’re great (I personally use Bitwarden for my passwords, but would happily recommend either of them). But by putting both your authenticator codes and your passwords in the same place, you now have a single point of failure. What happens if someone finds an exploit in 1Password that gives them access to your account? The whole point of 2FA is to not have a single point of failure.

Voroxpete,

This is why concepts like UBI would be so transformative to society.

Imagine a world where no one had to choose between creating and surviving. Where writers and artists and coders and musicians could just make beautiful things and give them to the world for nothing.

Voroxpete,

Saskatchewan is such a fucking great case study in why this shit works, because you have literally identical conditions all around them, excerpt in that one detail, and the price differences are enormous.

Voroxpete,

It won’t be long before they block that too. I really wouldn’t put it past them to just say “Fuck it, no internet, no computer.”

Voroxpete,

Why in God’s name are you running either of those things on windows?

Voroxpete,

Counter-point; if someone is into degradation specifically, wouldn’t they be happy to be kink shamed?

Voroxpete,

In all seriousness, if you’re self hosting anything, please learn your way around Docker and Linux. It’s a small time investment up front for huge payoffs. You’ll get more value out of your hardware, and you’ll have a system that’s much more reliable (Windows was not built for 24/7 uptime).

Voroxpete,

Windows Server isn’t so bad as a server platform, although it comes with a lot of unnecessary overhead, and its container support sucks. Given that containers are really the way to go with self-hosted services now, that makes Windows Server a poor choice.

But realistically, when most people say they’re self hosting on Windows, they mean regular old consumer Windows, which absolutely hates running for extended periods without rebooting. It’s just not built for uptime.

Voroxpete,

WAIT FUCK SHIT FUCKING WHAT HOLY FUCKING FUCK HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS??!!?!

Voroxpete,

Yeah, it has to have certain specific types of CPU. They’re making this a requirement for all Windows 11 machines if you want to keep receiving security updates. It’s going to create a mountain of e-waste.

Voroxpete,

Europe keeps on proving that we can in fact regulate these companies, and it’s fucking pathetic how the US and Canada don’t.

Voroxpete,

A comment that really stuck with me was when someone said “How people treat furries is a great way of finding out what kind of person they really are.”

Furries harm no one. In fact, they bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. At Toronto Pride the furries are one of the highlights of the parade. Kids absolutely love them; all these fun people in their animal costumes just out having a great time.

But it’s considered socially acceptable to mock them. Even among self-proclaimed leftists. And that tells you that those people would mock you too, for being queer, or black, or trans, if not for the fact that they had built an identity for themselves around being “the good guy.”

Find out how someone feels about furries, and you’ll very quickly learn who are the performative progressives, and who are the real ones.

Voroxpete,

I’d watch the shit out of that movie.

Voroxpete,

Yeah, I’ll always give credit where credit is due, and no matter how much I detest Musk, this is a legitimately good move and I fully endorse it.

Does the form factor between 3.5" and 2.5" matter in a NAS server? (slrpnk.net)

Been finding some good deals on 2.5 disks lately, but have never bought one before. Have a couple of 3.5 disks on the other hand in my Unraid server. Wondering how much it matters wether I get a 2.5 or not? What form factor do you prefer/usually go for?

Voroxpete,

For the record, so are a lot of 3.5s. Always read up on your drives before buying.

Voroxpete,

Awsome resource. You win the Internet today.

Voroxpete,

Important note; some WD Reds are still SMR. You have to check which specific type.

What tips or resources would you recommend to someone who knows about Linux and wants to self-host, but has no experience self-hosting?

I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don’t know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I...

Voroxpete,

Get to grips with Docker. OCI containers are the standard method of self hosting basically everything now, so once you’re comfortable with Docker and compose files, literally anything you could want to host is available as a drop in component for your system.

An excellent way of playing around with Docker is to install Dockge. It’s a web UI with some really helpful features. First, it can convert Docker Run commands into compose files for you (once you start to play around with this it’ll be clear why that matters), and second, its very good at pointing out where and how you’ve made errors in your compose files. But most importantly, unlike Portainer (the most popular Docker UI) it works with the Docker command line rather than trying to replace it. With Dockge you know exactly where all of your files are and if any part of your setup breaks you can repair it very easily. It also doesn’t have Portainer’s problem of flashing error messages on the screen for 0.3 seconds then whisking them away. It exposes the entire Docker terminal output so your debugging process is much, much easier.

You’ll also want to learn about reverse proxies (I reccomend Caddy for its unbelievably simple config file; an entire site is three lines). These are really important for serving multiple different services from one source.

For anything that you can’t run in Docker, VMs are an acceptable solution, and LXC containers are a better solution, but one that requires a little more work to get to grips with (fun fact, LXC has its own web UI, which is fantastic, but almost nobody seems to even know it exists). Since you’re already familiar with Linux, you may want to ignore the suggestion to use Proxmox and just set up a server with your preferred flavour and go from there. All of this can be done with any modern Linux distro, so you might as well work in an environment you’re comfortable in.

Voroxpete,

This is really the crazy part; tech is basically operating a stream of bubbles, endlessly collapsing one into the next in the search for infinite growth. It’s gotten to the point where the bubble collapse barely even seems to matter anymore unless you’re one of the suckers going down with it. The industry as a whole has basically embraced perpetual collapse as its fundamental structure.
