Damn, we’ve let working conditions slip so bad, paid overtime was for a long time a given (thanks unions), now it’s a perk.

The top consideration around finding a role with work-life balance according to this year’s survey was getting time off work in lieu of any additional hours worked.

So normal pay, not just giving it away for free, as has become way too normal for the ‘salaryman’. Tellingly, “paid overtime” is only in the title as clickbait. Also, “fare compensation”, hire an editor SBS, or at least a grammar plugin.

This sounds like thinking I had as carer for my mother with dementia/Alzheimer’s. If so, I found introducing new things to be not useful, it will be soon forgotten, (If not, good, and ignore this, but XY-Problem indeed). What I found actually useful was remote video monitoring on my phone (using a few RasPi’s, I’m sure there are better solutions, but I was poor, and it worked) allowing me to go out in necessity. The other thing I wish I’d done earlier is reach out to any and all available support earlier rather than later, it’s a marathon and every edge you can get will allow you to do better for all concerned, not least yourself.

That said, watches with automatic fall monitoring, with SMS alert to you would be useful. Ideally, something like Alexa (but preferably not as privacy invading, still, needs must as the devil drives) or whatever allowing her to just call out “help” and get a call to you on a speaker / microphone is probably achievable now, perhaps someone can chime in, or you can go searching. Best of luck!

You realise KDE’s had tiling for years, right? (Bismuth and then native)

Fair cop, a matter of definition of good enough, I guess.

Try setting it explicitly to be sure, and make sure you’ve mapped the port in gluetun.

Probably unenforceable, like so much of EULAs, but enough to deter the small guys who can’t afford the lawyers to defend themselves. Bully tactics. Shame, because an open playing field would benefit everyone but nvidia, also a shame that AMD, who probably could defend themselves, dropped financial support for ZLUDA.

Australia, the testing ground for bad privacy invading policy for the five (/thirteen/whatever we’re up to now) eyes. Also run by technical morons (“The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia”). ASSAct etc.

Isn’t there a 8x oculink in dev (3rd Party?) that fit in the GPU slot, such a keen idea…

I do this, along with pamusb, so I don’t need a password for sudo etc. (which allows a longer more secure password than I might otherwise use). Depending on the threat model, I think it’s fine to just leave it in. One day I’ll get it to shutdown --now on ripping out the key drive without dismounting first, sort of a break glass in emergency thing. Same thing can be achieved with pulling the key and holding the power button though (even if it’s a bit rude to the filesystem)

But now it’s a meme. I’m good with that.

If you’re going to be crazy, do it unique. Roddenberry was an ass (not asshole), but an interesting one, and mildly immortal.

You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it! Einstein?

Radicale has been so good I’d forgotton it existed, carddav and caldav sorted. Unix principle at its best, do one thing well (or microservices for the newbies). Why are you dogwhistling for a closed source marginal replacement for syncthing ?

wut ?, get two hat (ish), and chicken man means daniel no neck? I need a vowel…

Thankyou for the explain, makes little sense to me (never watched the Office (US)) and I was overthinking two-hat. Be well.

Noice!

Why wouldn’t NVIDIA want its drivers made for free, gotta wonder… (might have to do with artificial segmentation, which is getting more redundant as game GPUs go through the roof)

I heartily approve, without much help to offer. Points of thought…

-Calibre web server good, mirror Annas Archive best, practically somehow getting everyone’s downloaded books into a community Calibre would rock.

  • You’re going to need a bigger NAS (Jaws pun, but seriously, this will be at least / more important than your server, redundancy is king)
  • Probably something lighter / easier too maintain than Nextcloud for simple filesharing, Seafile perhaps?
  • Honestly, this is the sort of initiative that could drive local Mesh adoption.
  • What security are you using, most govs/corps don’t like private internets, how vulnerable are you to CSAM etc.

I’m aware of a fair amount of local sneaker net approaches (HDD swapping etc), which mostly avoids the security issues. I too would love to hear about successful use cases.

If I just happen to get the bad module that craps out after 6 months, the positive reviews are not that helpful.

That’s what RAID(5) is for, if a drive craps out you just shrug and get a new one (or warranty), no data loss. Easy enough to cobble together with a PCIe card and 4ish smaller drives, faster too…

MalReynolds,
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

Yep, as can happen easily if you buy in a batch. Just like ransom (related, no?), non-sequential serial numbers please.

Fine, can’t see said rules and thread’s dead Fred…

Might choose otherwise.

God tier VPN solution (if your provider is covered), have two running, one outs in Singapore for *arrs and a localish one for my SearxNG. So much versatility for something so solid…

If manipulating reddit isn’t already a betting sport, it’s not far away. Guessing it is in Russia (or at least a drinking game), just like the rest of the big ‘social’ netwerks. Enjoy your next election. Wherever you are :)

No, given the explanation of RAF is a smile, it’s sort of obvious…
