    is there a piracy website for Linux?

    Jump

  • Also, isn't the preferred nomenclature actually a 'm'lord'?

    Perhaps I've misunderstood something.

  • What if downvotes actually did something?

    Jump

  • Ignore and move on.

    Literally the solution to every single 'THERE IS SOMETHING I DISLIKE ABOUT LEMMY AND THUS YOU SHOULD ALL ACCOMODATE ME!' post.

    If you don't like someone's shit, block them. There's not a limit of how many people who make you upset you can block, so go hog wild.

  • Anna’s Archive Urges AI Copyright Overhaul to Protect National Security * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • When I was a wee kid, I thought that scene from the Matrix where Morpehus explains that humans destroyed the whole damn planet just to maybe slow down the machines was stupid.

    I mean if you block the sun, we're all going to fucking die, why would you do something that stupid?

    Yeah, well, the last few years has shown that actually at least half the people on the planet would be pro-kill-everything, even if that includes themselves.

    So really, this take isn't remotely shocking anymore.

  • Elon Musk takes aim at Reddit, prepare yourselves for the next wave of Reddit exodus 🤣

    Jump

  • Hey Elon! Do it! You want to! You have the money!

    Buy Reddit!

    (It'd be the funniest damn thing.)

  • Question about what to put on RAID and what to put on NVME

    Jump

  • Oh I wasn't saying to not, I was just saying make sure you're aware of what recovery entails since a lot of raid controllers don't just write bytes to the disk and can, if you don't have spares, make recovery a pain in the ass.

    I'm using MD raid for my boot SSDs and yeah, the install was a complete pain in the ass since the debian installer will let you, but it's very much in the linux sense of 'let you': you can do it, but you're figuring it out on your own.

    Hard drive recommendations

    Jump

  • Buy multiple drives, setup some sort of raid, setup some sort of backup. Then set up a 2nd backup.

    Done.

    All drives from all manufacturers are going to fail at more or less the same rate (see: backblaze's stats) and trying to buy a specific thing to avoid the death which is coming for all drives is, mostly, futile: at the absolute best you might see a single specific model to avoid, but that doesn't mean entire product lines are bad.

    I'm using some WD red drives which are pushing 8 years old, and some Seagate exos drives which are pushing 4, and so far no issues on any of the 7 drives.

  • Question about what to put on RAID and what to put on NVME

    Jump

  • Make sure, if you use hardware RAID, you know what happens if your controller dies.

    Is the data in a format you can access it easily? Do you need a specific raid controller to be able to read it in the future? How are you going to get a new controller if you need it?

    That's a big reason why people nudge you to software raid: if you're using md and doing a mirror, then that'll work on any damn drive controller on earth that linux can talk to, and you don't need to worry about how you're getting your data back if a controller dies on you.

  • The RTX 5080 is Actually an RTX 5070 - Hardware Unboxed

    Jump

  • Yeah. Those Durons were a stupidly good deal at the time since you could overclock the snot out of them and get a CPU on par with a top of the stack one for absolute pennies.

    Unless they caught fire. But that mostly usually didn't hapen all that often sometimes.

  • Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons

    Jump

  • Question: how is LinkedIn useful to you?

    For me it's just a non-stop swarm of recruiters from India who want me to kindly listen to their offer of a job that pays less than I'd make picking up garbage, utter sociopaths dredging up some psychotic hustle culture nonsense, and previous people I've worked with/for asking for favors, which of course means free.

    Is it somehow more useful for an actual business?

  • Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons

    Jump

  • I wouldn't argue with the dude; he's got a clear case of bad-faith-itis. What you did was bad, so you shouldn't have done it, but no I won't tell you how to fix it.

    The absolute best you could have done is cross-posted to a Mastodon/Bluesky/whatever account as well, but you can't just always go around yanking the rug out underneath communities especially if you're in a position where it's not just lazy shitposting and worthless commentary.

    ...that said, you have moved anything you can to being posted somewhere in tandem riiiiiiight?

  • PSA: LetsEncrypt ending expiration notification emails

    Jump

  • As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

    I'd wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that's way less than it'd cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

    Looking at my mail, over the years I've gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there's a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you'd end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it's suddenly a major drain.

  • Lemmy selfhost hints

    Jump

  • Very very little. It's a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

    My personal instance doesn't cache images since I'm the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don't have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.

  • If you randomly cannot sign into portainer and tried to reset the password, remove your browser's cookies for it.

    Jump

  • Huh.

    Usually when I run into that I just bounce the Portainer container and it sorts shit out.

    Maybe that's actually causing the tokens to rotate/expire and thus doing the same shit?

  • Sega launches new Sega Account online system — benefits and rewards for Sega and Atlus titles

    Jump

  • Well, no benefits for you anyway.

    You just know this will end up mandatory.

  • This is super basic but I need to find a better email option

    Jump

  • And frankly, even if he's not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn't trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.

  • I've finally started transitioning to Windows from linux

    Jump

  • Elon Musk admits account-boosting on PoE2 and Diablo 4 but says deal with it: 'What would I be apologizing for?'

    Jump

  • New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.

  • How does Netflix have such poor OPSEC?

    Jump

  • You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.

    Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?

  • What skills are needed to self host without too many headaches?

    Jump

  • To self-host, you do not need to know how to code.

    I agree but also say that learning enough to be able to write simple bash scripts is maybe required.

    There's always going to be stuff you want to automate and knowing enough bash to bang out a script that does what you want that you can drop into cron or systemd timers is probably a useful time investment.
