Biggest thing so far is “go slow on federation”. Large federated servers are where you get into trouble with resource requirements and needing to spin up workers, etc. Small, private servers are relatively easy.
I’m messaging Facebook users over Matrix via the bridge.
I can try to write some stuff up, it’s not super complex. Core requirement for my setup is Docker + a domain. I recommend Linux host but you can make Docker Desktop work.
Let me write some stuff down this week.
I’m running a Matrix server with a FB Messenger bridge via mautrix-meta and that makes it a clear winner. Half my group chats have migrated entirely since I’ve set my close friends up with accounts in my server and they also use the bridge. The fact that people can slowly migrate chats without losing messages or groups is killer for adoption imo.
Yea I’m gonna do zfs or something when I get set up properly again. I’ve got 2 16TB HDDs and Storage Spaces won’t let me pull a drive out :v
I think I’m gonna have to make a new Storage Space and slowly grow that one and shrink the other as I basically shift the extra storage budget between the two until the data is on just one of my drives without redundancy, and then I’ll pull that drive, dual boot Ubuntu or something, format, get everything prepared, and then mount, copy, start services, and then go back and kill the old storage spaces and then never run Windows for anything meaningful again.
I need to migrate off Docker Desktop for Windows and Storage Spaces but I fear the process will be difficult due to my data volume and the stupidity of Windows. I should never have gone Windows, but I wanted to use Steam Big Picture off the media PC and didn’t want to deal with getting that functional on Linux.
But Docker Desktop for Windows keeps crashing WSL and bricking the network devices randomly, and also continuously grows memory consumption until the machine reboots. Piece of shit.
I… somewhat agree. Job postings are currently at a local minimum, and if you’re intermediate/junior it is pretty rough out there.
But postings are still around 2021 levels overall, which while not amazing, still have jobs available. I got a couple of decent-but-not-amazing offers last year.
Really the biggest trend I’ve noticed is that real seniors are genuinely impossible to find/hire. Hiring has become a spamfest. Companies use LLMs to poorly filter resumes. Candidates use LLMs to shoddily write resumes and cover letters. Filtering through this to find the actual senior vs. the guy who worked at FAANG for 3 years and got a staff title for it is virtually impossible. Getting your resume seen through the cruft is also impossible, so many great candidates never make it into the process in any meaningful way. As soon as we get into an interview, it’s been incredibly obvious who the good candidates are, and we’ve hired most of them. But getting good candidates to the interview stage is nigh impossible for candidate and employer.
I guess from my perspective the job market is there, but the process is absolutely horrendous.
You have the empathy of a snail.
“Your country is so small and weak you might as well have a mayor instead of a real government. We should and will annex you because we can”
“Why are you offended, that seems weird”
“A Lightweight VPN Built on top of IPFS + Libp2p”
Seems like both at a glance
Nifty! I built something similar for my university graduation project. Did a PCB, ESP8266 based as well. Temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, airborne particulate sensor, and some other stuff.
Wrapped a server up in docker for receiving the data, basic dashboard in JS for minor reactivity in components. Never ended up actually doing it cause I didn’t have a consistent host, but maybe I should spin it up again now that I have a home server.
Cool project, looks neat! Anything you were caught off guard by when doing this?
I do the same thing, and I’ve noticed my modem has been absolutely bricked probably 3-4 times this month. I wonder if this is why.
I’ve read this 4 times now hoping I was just missing something, but nope… it’s just entirely incomprehensible.
What the fuck?
My brother in christ you have less than a TB of storage. you’re very far from being a hoarder.
I still have my first 512GB HDD from when I was in high school and I’ve got over 32TB on my latest build, plus my archive of old drives I leave off until I need to access them. Join us, it’s better.
I honestly think it’s the internet as a whole that’s done that to us.
You used to be able to not know things, but now I’m expected to have encyclopedic knowledge of every factor going into any individual choice I make as though I’ve gotta min/max my life. I think the expectation that everyone needs to have an opinion on everything because “the information is available, just Google it!”, combined with the fact that we have a limited rate of knowledge consumption and limited bandwidth has led to people just skimming information. Shortest path to having an “informed” opinion on every topic, because God forbid you don’t know something online.
I think in order to increase our media literacy we must return to partial ignorance.
You’re batting 1 for 4 in sentences there bud.
How the fuck does cheating compare to violence?
Where did I say that?
If women incels talk shit and men incels shoot people, one is clearly worse than the other.
Yeah I agree, but that doesn’t mean that either are relevant to the conversation.
I have no stats to back this up because I’m not terribly interested in this topic
Your apathy is apparent.
However, I do defend my position that men are more likely to commit violence based on my own passive observations of news articles / headlines.
Correct, men are more likely to commit acts of violence. Would love to know where I disagreed with this.
Let me give you a quick recap of the thread so far:
You see the problem here? Black people in the US commit more acts of violence than white people in the US. That doesn’t mean we should use that as justification for being needlessly derogatory towards Black people. Also, you should probably reflect on that whole “I don’t care about this” thing. Have a good one, I’m muting replies.
That’s immaterial to the statement you’re replying to - Women are more likely to cheat in relationships, so I guess it’s fair game now?
