• Se rendre compte qu'on ne comprend rien à l'informatique
• Se rouler en boule sur le sol et reflechir a ses choix de vie et comment on en est arrivé là.
• Se reconvertir dans l'élevage de chèvres dans le larzac

More systemd shit, sorry... But the more I look at this project the worse it gets.

The reaction to a very balanced, polite, "yeah don't like this PR because [though-through reasons]" comment?

PEH! Who let the plebs in? Lock the thread quickly before any dissent starts!

Seems like it is infested with cunts, honestly...

Alt…

This comment has been minimized. tiagonix last week | strongly object to this PR. This is not a harmless metadata addition. The PR states that birthDate is being added to user records for age verification required by laws such as California AB-1043 and Colorado SB26-051, and it keeps that field readable by applications. That is not a neutral extension of userdb. It is the normalization of a legally compelled age-verification attribute into a core system substrate. systemd userdb should not become the storage layer for an OS-level surveillance and control mechanism disguised as "age verification." Whether the field is birthDate or something softer does not change the category of what is being built. This turns the OS into a policy-enforcement endpoint for third-party software. Please do not merge this. The correct response is not to provide better plumbing for this mechanism, but to reject the premise that systemd should carry it at all. ---- systemd locked as too heated and limited conversation to collaborators last week ---- bluca commented last week This clearly got linked somewhere, so let's lock it for a while to avoid spam

I saw Trump’s interview where he says Ukraine would have been taken in a single day if the U.S. hadn’t helped.

Seriously?

I remember February 2022 very clearly. The whole world wasn’t helping it was watching. The discussion wasn’t “how to save Ukraine,” but “how many days it will last”, three, maybe a week at most.
Many embassies were closing, and politicians openly talked about the inevitable fall of Kyiv.

The first aid, which we could laugh at because it was almost nothing, came only after we had liberated the Kyiv region. Before that, nobody wanted to help us.

And while the world was “assessing the situation,” we were already stopping the advance near Kyiv, holding Kharkiv, going out to protest in occupied cities, and blocking military vehicles with our bare hands.

Sébastien Lecornu essaie par tous les moyens d'empêcher les collectivités locales de protéger leur eau potable de la pollution par les pesticides. Et il ne le fait pas par des voies officielles, de façon à ce que cela ne puisse pas être contesté en justice.

The side of the Earth we’re not used to seeing

The Pacific Ocean covers 32.4% of the planet’s surface (more than all land & ice combined)

The ocean’s widest point is 19,800km. The circumference of the Earth’s equator is 40,075km

Satellite view of Earth showing primarily the Pacific Ocean side, with minimal visible landmasses. The image shows Earth as a blue sphere against the black of space, with a bright rim of atmospheric glow along the edge. This perspective showcases the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, which dominates most of the visible hemisphere, with only small portions of land visible near the edges, likely parts of Antarctica and South America. The ocean appears as various shades of deep blue, with some cloud patterns visible across its surface.

C'est *exactement* ce qu'il me fallait.

Application Android pour partager sa position en temps réel. Logiciel Libre et opensource, aussi bien la partie client (Android) que la partie serveur (php).
Créé une simple URL (limitée dans le temps) qui affiche la position en temps réel sur fond de carte OpenStreetMap.
Partie serveur dead simple à héberger soi-même.
C'est parfait 👌

Les bibliothèques, bibliothèques universitaires et médiathèques :

* sont gratuites
* prêtent des livres, des films, des jeux de société
* proposent des espaces pour travailler
* conservent des ouvrages et des pièces de patrimoine qui ont près de 500 ans

Trente minutes pour faire le backup de tous les conteneurs, avec cinq minutes pour le conteneur le plus actif, celui qui me sert d'instance Fediverse...
pas d'interruption de service, il faudrait faire un test de restauration pour être sur (surtout d'un conteneur avec une base MySQL ou PostgreSQL).

Actuellement une sauvegarde me prend 2G de plus soit 6.33% (pour 6 heures de delta).
Je n'ai pas encore beaucoup de volumétrie ~ 80Go source ~30Go pour le backup initial et il a pris aussi 30 minutes. Comme quoi c'est plus le nombre de fichiers que la volumétrie qui prend de la place).

reste encore un peu de travail :

• backup de l'hôte (sans snapshot, mais bon)
• gestion de la rétention (borg prune à ajouter au script ou a un autre script)
• externalisation (ça va être plus dur, mais pas impossible)

#hackernews

for #selfhosting, it will be enough,i'm confident that my service can endure a powercut, so snapshot will be fine.

i haven't figured out how i will manage off-site backup, maybe export a tar from borg ? or rsync the repo even if it's not advised.

Boosts really, really welcome

I desperately need money. I'm homeless in Germany with a very low income, so I have issues reliably getting food and a roof above my head.

I would feel bad just asking for donations because there's lots of entities in way worse situations with zero income, so instead I want to do work (one-off contract is fine, doesn't have to be an employment contract. Has to be remote tho. Note I do not speak German, only English and Czech.)

Any money helps, I would need about a 900€ a month extra to be able to comfortably eat and have a roof above my head. I am most struggling this February, March, and some of April, maybe May, after that I should be able to get some money. I'll gladly do several one-time contracts.

I live with my girlfriend, who has no income, so my income is housing and feeding both of us.

I do have EU citizenship, but not a German one. I do have residence in the EU, I just cannot reside there for health reasons, but any post for eg. sent to it can be forwarded to me.

There's a decent amount of stuff I have not listed, since I've been writing this for about an hour and I keep remembering more and more things. I've done a large amount of things, and I'm currently in the middle of migrating my temporary infrastructure to run on microvms connected over wireguard to a VPS managed by either Docker or Nix along with setting up SSO, monitoring, log gathering, and other improvements, so the current state of the infra is temporary, however source code some of my projects (not all, only some recent ones) are here: https://gitea.itycodes.org/itycodes/
