You don’t (normally) have to train people to be afraid of bears or heights or loneliness or boredom. You also don’t (normally) have to train people to have empathy or compassion.

So what are you implying about people who don’t experience these?

Yeap.

This invokes the overpopulation myth, the reductive belief that the planet would somehow be “better off” without humans (importantly: how would you make that happen?), and perhaps, projecting the environmental sins of one’s own culture onto all of humanity.

I don’t know if these count as actual eco-fascism when the target is the entire human population, but it’s certainly adjacent.

A blood offering to Molech? Sounds like a good time to me! <3

edit: as I expected, this is a hit with the tumblr mutuals

(Stop trying to get me to use ChatGPT!!! Smh)

Molech, a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice

Ohh, so that’s why specifically that god is mentioned in FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.

That won’t work for me since I have multiple people using this Nextcloud instance, and I also use it to publicly share files. I also have a big network share (currently 5 TB of data) that I would like to better integrate somehow (right now it’s available from Nextcloud read-only in essentially “anonymous mode” with no access to private user files).

Nah. This is some eco-fascist/primitivist type shit. Fuck that.

I want something with a permission model that works the same when accessed over a network share (SMB, ideally NFS) and access over a web interface. Ideally it would have a Mac File Provider sync client and whatever the Windows equivalent is called as well.

Nextcloud is fine but it’s not that.

Oh my god, this seems really good and closer to what I want than anything yet. Been looking for something to replace Nextcloud and found nothing good so I might take a look at this.

Thanks! I’ll take a closer look at both then and see which I like better.

I am running a Matrix homeserver right now and yeah it’s definitely a mess.

Waiter! waiter! more webslop please!

Since you’ve used both, how do ejabberd and prosody compare to another? I was going to go with the former.

I haven’t tried TrueNAS, but I use NixOS for my NAS and my other servers. It’s perfect for servers imo since it’s essentially a Linux system builder that you can customize to add whatever you want to your system.

The downside is that you’ll have to learn a weird functional programming language, especially when you get into writing service modules yourself (for services that don’t have an upstream module). And it’ll take some time to get familiar with it and learn how to effectively write your configuration.

Google’s bot is fine in my book, their crawler doesn’t absolutely blast your server with web requests like other AI crawlers do. (Speaking of, I need to update my list of netblocks and UAs to get iocaine-holed.)

That said, two evil megacorps potentially fighting? I hope they kill each other.

Is this a real screenshot of him crying about the initiative reaching 100%?

This is a way broader phenomenon than just dark patterns or whatever. It exists in open-source as well which generally does not have any incentives to do this sort of stuff.

The database store is in /var/lib/postgres. You can just connect that disk somewhere else and start the database using the same (important!) major release of Postgres. I think the major version number is in the folder name. Then do whatever from there.

Just saw this article linked in a ThePrimeagen video. I didn’t watch the video, but I did read the article, and all of this article is exactly what I’m always saying when I’m complaining about current UI trends and why I’m so picky about the software I use and also the tools I use to write software. I shouldn’t have to be picky, but it seems like developers (professional and hobbyist alike) don’t care anymore and users don’t have standards.

This is why Youtube Music lasted a total of one day of me testing it a while ago (this was when I had Premium for a while and figured might as well test it). Insane to have a scroll view that expands as you scroll down, taking five seconds to load the next 10 items, instead of a fixed-size list.
