#askFedi does anyone know of a list of IPs to block for web scrapers, big tech, and/or anything LLM related? I understand that I won't be able to block them all, and I understand there probably isn't one comprehensive list I can copy, but if any web hosters have a preferred list that blocks a significant amount of non-legitimate bot traffic without blocking humans who just want to use the site, I can take a look at as many lists as I can get a hold of!

Can anyone help me identify a video game?

A family member remembers playing a game, some time ca. 2005–2010. They remember there being a scene in a submarine and a scene at a market where melons or something could be bought, and water was somehow important.

Somewhat sure it wasn't first person, but it might have been some isometric pseudo 3D thing; they say it might have been one of those "you can only walk left or right" things.

Long shot, I know, but if anyone has an inkling, I'd love to hear it.

Would have been running on Windows XP at the time.

For the Loops For You algorithm to work properly, we need data.

It's tricky when it comes to remote video posts because we can't properly track the metrics we use in the algo.

This is why I'm considering limiting the For You feed to videos from Loops only (local or remote), while allowing you to see non-loops videos in your Following feed.

Two different issues yesterday with websites not working correctly (in once case, completely broken) in Librewolf. And it's not a Librewolf issue, it's a Firefox issue as I tested both sites in that browser as well. Changing user agents didn't help either, it's obviously a deeper issue than that. I had to install Chromium (yuck) to get both sites to work. This, combined with the increasingly broken Firefox/Mozilla Sync, is making me begrudgingly look into switching to a Chromium based browser.

I'm NOT going to use Google's account sync for so many obvious reasons, so there's no need to have Google's API available. That opens me up to a bunch of truly FOSS Chromium based options so I'm going to spend some time looking into them. I have to have *BSD compatibility as I spend most of my time in FreeBSD and OpenBSD these days (I'm posting this from a FreeBSD workstation).

With all of that said, any suggestions or advice? And no, I will never use Brave; even if it wasn't a crypto and AI scam disguised as a browser, its founder is a gross misogynist and Christian nationalist. No thank you.

Hi all. I am looking for a generic Zigbee device that can detect water leaks in a basement. We have a really unique situation — I need a water detection device that has long, flexible probes that can fit underneath a flooring substrate.

The zigbee leak detectors out there seem to mostly be bowl-shaped and work through having two contacts being bridged by the water. I need one that has thin, whispy wires that could slip into a 1 inch gap between the ground and flooring.

Je viens de passer prêt de 1h à faire du lait épeautre noisettes dans le presse fruit, même pas un litre, et c'est pas fini. Pas du tout la bonne technique.

— #askfedi: tech edition (boosts appreciated!) —

my dad backs up the family's computers to a hard drive connected to an airport extreme router, which macOS treats as an airport time capsule, even though the airport time capsule is a separate product. either way, the AFP protocol used by airport is being deprecated in the next major macOS update, meaning dad will no longer be able to back up via time machine with his current setup

today, though, the disk used to back up my macbook was almost full, so dad erased it, but as he went to reconnect it, he got an error saying that it required previous backups since it was airport-based

he ordered a 5TB seagate hard drive — the same kind i use for hoarding stuff from the internet — that i'll have to plug into my macbook in order to back up. he has absolutely no experience with any sort of network-attached storage. if we end up replacing the family drive, the router's gonna have to go too, since it only handles AFP backups

so i ask the lovely folks here on fedi, because i know at least one individual here will also have to stop backing up with airport… now what?

Okay, nerds: Help/direction needed.

I went to a lovely nanna's house today for tea. She's downsizing because she can't manage the stairs any longer.

Anyway, she has this gorgeous naval barometer. It was last serviced by the makers in 1981. Between then and now, the glass tube that houses the mercury has cracked. She wants to get it repaired or replaced.

The original manufacturers went into administration and never recovered. So, over to the fedizens: Where can I get a new glass tube made and calibrated for her?

Notes
===

Maker: Yarley Brothers Clock and Barometer Makers
Style: Yard-long hanging naval barometer (mb/⁰F)
Issue: Crack/fracture in glass tube housing mercury (Hg retained in lower portion of glass.

She understands this will cost money; sentimental value high.

Are there any #ornithologists ? I have a dumb question about sparrows (both house sparrow and eurasian tree sparrow).

Near 3 days ago, I saw a lot of sparrows on the streets. Also a lot of them flew to my window to eat some seeds. Despite the air temperature was near 0°C.

But suddenly, after one night all sparrows are disappeared from the streets — I see no one, only another species: crows, wagtails and tits.

First, I thought that all sparrows are migrated somewhere. But from Wikipedia I learned that they may migrate only to nearby rural areas to eat some insects, if there are no food in the city. But (again) in my district are enough bird feeders with food.

So I really have a question — where (and why) are all the sparrows flew? I live at the outskirts of city with a big count of trees and a small forest nearby, so looks like here should be good conditions for birds

I cannot use any of my current drives because they are all encrypted and #Jellyfin needs something with read access (sans password) for every folder in the path. So I'm going for a dedicated external drive.

#selfhosting

Hardware liberators and other #oldcomputers folks, can you give me some advice here?

I received a cheap Chinese-made laptop whose owner said is "not fast enough anymore." And there's another problem: the keyboard developed a problem where random keys on the built-in keyboard get "pressed" all the time, leading to an unusable system. If you open a terminal on it from a live Linux distro, soon it's littered with "^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J^J" sequences and you can't run any commands on it. Or use GUI apps, since other keys like F-keys, Control, Alt and even arrow keys are pressed as well. If you've bound anything to Ctrl+Alt and a letter, guess what's going to be activated en-masse?

Still, to its credit, the machine has 6GB RAM, a fully working screen, WiFi NIC, hard drive and basically everything else *other* than the keyboard that can still be used well with Linux, so it's not quite yet a basket case. So what I'm planning to do? Nuke that keyboard - in a software way. I'm thinking that there's got to be a kernel module that does the talking to the built-in keyboard and touchpad. If I remove it without removing USB support, then listo - the whole thing might just become usable again.

Now the question: what is the (Linux) kernel module that is responsible for this communication? Am I right to assume that if I un'modprobe it, it will stop receiving built-in keyboard input completely?

Thanks, and boosts appreciated!

I didn't want to make machine player agents, so I was really thinking of servers for online play.

I know there are MMORPG games and Minecraft, but I'm thinking of simpler, more social games. Presumably this would be in-browser.

And it seems like this could exist on the #Fediverse

Is that a thing already? And if not, what do you think about the difficulty of implementing something in that class? Presumably, you'd want a plugin API system so you could add games to the server instance.

Am finally seriously looking at building my Faircamp site. But before I even start I have a basic question. Am I safe to install it on my home server without breaking what is already running so very well?

Ubuntu Server 22.04 (headless)
Nginx 1.18 (only, no Apache)
WordPress (running multi sites)
Nextcloud
Postfix/Dovecote

I own the domain name orchard music.com and that is the master site of the three I host with WordPress. Everything is SSL https by Certbot.

With my squishy ☕-adled brain I forgot which large #FOSS project(s) recently chose for #Forgejo adoption to migrate away from either #Gitlab, #Github, or #Atlassian code forges. Can anyone enlighten me?

@forgejo this may be a good one for delightful forgejo curated list. Add an "Major adopters" section..

Dear #HiveMind, what do people think of Ground News? Keep meaning to look into it, the idea seems interesting.

Anybody using it? Anybody has strong opinions one way or another, preferably well-founded ones?

@Erpel add some hash tags to your toot for more visibility -> #Fairphone #Fairphone6 #AskFedi

I read commentary about 'quote posting' and being 'an ancient' wonder if my understanding of what that means is correct.

Would that mean a function to (one click) boost a toot with one's own added tenpence worth about the original's content?

I won't feel confident about adding any of my own perspective without actually knowing what I'm talking about... A very outdated concept I know!! 😂

Dis-moi tu saurais où on peut récupérer proprement le logiciel LaCie Network Assistant qui permet de connecter ses disques durs ethernet ?
Il semble que ça tourne sous linux mais déjà au moins la version Windows serait bien...

LaCie a été racheté par Seagate mais le site de Seagate ne semble pas le fournir.
https://www.seagate.com/support/kb/lacie/lacie-network-assistant-how-to-mount-and-connect-to-shares-006618en/ ne donne pas de lien de téléchargement, notamment.

On trouve LaCieNA sur Softpedia et d'autres mais comment on vérifie que c'est pas vérolé ?

So in my script Here I use templates

I made my own very basic template system with just a few .replace for variables.

It's nice, it work fine. But I can easily see situation where some kind of if statement or loop would be useful.

But I don't think re-inventing the wheel and creating my own programming language is a good idea.

So is there some nice easy to use template system for Javascript?

I have found something called "mustache". Is it any good?

A serious question regarding #BDS and boycotting The Israel ...

What processors can you buy that aren't The Israeli made or somehow linked to The Israel?

Fellow language learners, if you have ditched Duolingo because they wedged in AI slop (because you care about how they treat their workers and/or the accuracy of the lessons and/or AI impact on the planet, etc.), what are you using for language study now and for which languages?

I ordered some icepacks online, I didn't realise they were empty. The instructions say to fill them with water and freeze them, and I'm wondering whether something else might be better, like alcohol or so. I looked online and the resource I found said 2:1 water to rubbing alcohol mixture, they also said gel although they were less specific about what gel

As it dont blindly trust what's written on the internet all the time, I thought it best to put the question out there

Do you know?

Dear #LazyWeb #AskFedi: is there a secret I-am-not-in-California option to "#docker compose build" to not time out if a build step involving software downloads takes too long (like >5min)? All the waterfowl-wending I have done indicates that this is a widely struck issue often but not always caused by broken DNS, but that at the bottom of the rabbit hole there is a hardcoded limit.

The error I am getting is "context deadline exceeeded" which occurs while my container build is (slowly) fetching a compiler tarball from a CPU vendor.

Edit: If I run the container build on a cloud VM it works, if I run it in my office over the National Bullock-drawn-packet Network, not so much.

Finalists for haircut/dye-job in a couple weeks. All options would likely be done with a sky-blue and blonde combo. I can also do other colors, like pink, but I like how long the blue stayed vivid and it faded into a nice blonde color too (plus I wear a *lot* of pink already).

3, 2, and 6 are my personal favorites. What do y'all think? I'm open to other photos/suggestions too 🩵

Anyone know of a FOSS equivalent to Google’s PageSpeed Insights? I’ve been searching but can’t really find a Lighthouse alternative.
