@xahteiwi @cliffwade same here - it was the best social network I've ever used, although I'm not at all "social".

I had all the right people in my circles on G+ and enjoyed discussing all the relevant topics with them.

FB-peeps always complained G+ was a "ghost-town", that's because it was very focused "no bullshit" and I preferred it that way. And because of that, I was willing to forgive Google all those little missteps, which were not critical.

I hear that Gmail has recently started objecting to more mail from non-Gmail senders than usual.

So if you use Gmail, it might be a good idea to keep a closer eye than usual on your spam folder. (And mark non-spam as non-spam.)

And if you don’t use Gmail, and you’re waiting an unusually long time for a response to something that you sent to a Gmail user, it might be worth contacting them via other channels to make sure the mail reached them.

@joeyh @alison @elysdir yeah, same here - only have SPF so far and email to Gmail still works.

@alison @joeyh @elysdir someone doesn't seem to know the difference between SPF, DKIM and DMARC... Sigh

@codinghorror kinda sexist... Both sides of any marriage have issues. And dishes, laundry, etc. are not specifically problematic to "men" only...

@technotim is that Samsung 57" 8K? How do you find the curvature - isn't it too curved at 1000R?

I currently use Lenovo 40" 5K with 2500R curvature and I sit at about 2.5-3 feet away. I wonder if 1000R would require much closer position...

Am I crazy, or is there no way to add interfaces to a bond in NetworkManager UI, besides the CLI?

I can tell that a new Ubuntu release is coming because they always add the new ISOs to the mirror health checker before shipping the ISOs themselves, so all our servers get disqualified for not having the files yet.

My first post-new years PG&E rate hike bill posted. $461

Hey, good timing on me just getting solar installed.

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf ouch! why so high? and that's only 100A service?
But definitely great timing with solar install!

I have a couple of open source TRS-80 emulators (sdltrs and xtrs) running on Fedora. They're written in C but they each have dependencies that scare me away from attempting to port them to a microcontroller board. I wonder if there's a wee board that runs enough of a linux distro to make it easy and that can fit inside the tiny TRS-80 case.

@mcdanlj @trevorflowers re: rabbit hole - you can google "tiny linux sbc" and find plenty of other options...

Day one of solar install went well. There's now panels up on the roof.

@kwf any details for the panels, please?

PG&E just issued me the final Permission To Operate for my solar system! Original contract signed in October, install in January, and early April we're done!

3kW of solar on the roof across 8 panels with microinverters, 20kWh/15.3kW of house battery storage across four Enphase 5P batteries, a Microgrid Interconnect Device (transfer switch) so when the utility grid goes down my house can disconnect and keep running on its own, and automatic load shedding of the air conditioning once the batteries drop to 50% SOC so I can still run the AC while off grid without needing to worry about completely draining the system.

Total install cost: $45,800 (not counting the load shed logic that I did myself since my installer had never touched that feature before).

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf thanks, appreciate all the details!

How did you come across the installer? Own research, recommendations, referrals, ads? How many quotes?

I'm in the market for a similar install, but on the East Coast...

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf Nice!

Are all these Enphase boxes rated for outside install? Have you considered it?

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf any tax credits or other incentives to offset the install cost?

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf sorry for all the questions - did you use a local installer or some large national chain? thanks!

I've been on a long journey lately to migrate any and all of useful to me cloud-based services to self-hosted ones...
One of the latest check marks - hundreds of semi-permanently-open browser tabs have finally been moved to a local wallabag instance - https://wallabag.org/
It is a "read-it-later" kind of service to store web pages and such, but local. I'm still testing it with a default SQLite backend, but it can store to MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@mansr heh, bookmarks plus their content (minus ads, popups and other crap) - kind of like Pocket, previously known as Read It Later, or even Web Clipper by Evernote, but not limited to a browser or a device. And instead of storing everything in the cloud, everything is stored locally. There's a Web UI and apps for mobiles and e-readers.

PSA: the Linux "Predictable Network Interface Device Names" concept sometimes is unpredictable!

Upgraded Proxmox VE from 8.1 to 8.2 on Minisforum MS-01 and 10 GigE network interfaces gained a new "npX" suffix -> no network. Get your local consoles ready!

If I'm reading it right, "n<port-num>" specifies "p0" and "p1" ports, so the interface names are now by default:

enp2s0f0 -> enp2s0f0np0
enp2s0f1 -> enp2s0f1np1

I know about udev and hwdb, but the change was unexpected...

Getting my ass handed to me this afternoon trying to run EMT around one lousy corner.

@kwf too much red wire?

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf what about the feeder run? Isn't that the same or better gauge? Or are you all out?

Regardless, everything looks great.

Make sure to re-torque the lugs!

Today on the mailop mailing list: Microsoft unable to deliver to gmail.

The list archive is private, but if you're a member the discussion's at https://list.mailop.org/private/mailop/2024-June/028325.html

You might as well Run Your Own Mail Server.

Which, coincidentally, is the name of my current Kickstarter. Backers get five tech books, and possibly a sixth if y'all break the next stretch goal.

@mwl Microsoft and Google should be declared monopolies. Not just the OS, not just the Web browser, but also their email server business.

You know, running EMT is slightly harder than it looked.

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@kwf Nice! I usually try to use either flexible MC or rigid PVC+liquidtight for electrical wiring where conduit is required - easier to work with... That said, I've never done EMT because it does indeed look hard :)

Friend told that ICQ shuts down soon (26 June). So I logged in. For first time for probably 2 decades.

Contacts list populated with some entries. Everyone "Seen a long time ago". Nothing strange, some of those people managed to die in meantime.

No chat history :(

ICQ was the first IM I ever used. In StrICQ on my Amiga. In the previous millenium.

denix,
@denix@society.oftrolls.com avatar

@hrw ah, ICQ - that brings some fond memories... My first IM as well in mid-90s. I liked it on Windows, but wanted to have a similar experience in Linux, so I started my first 2 major OSS projects in 1998 - icqlib and kicq (portable C library and KDE client). It was in previous life, indeed...

Shame to see it go, but then it kind of lost its appeal long ago, when AOL messed with it a lot (a competitor to their own AIM). Huh, and I didn't even know they sold it to mail.ru in 2010...
