I wonder if you could make a self-hostable data poisoning automation utility. Put in a bunch of credentials for various social media sites, and it creates unintelligible usage patterns associated with your online identities. Not so much for poisoning training of generative AI, but for destroying any internal profiles any party might attempt to build on you by correlating your online behaviour.

If everyone else moved, they would too. But no one will, so they won’t. Same as it ever was.

Does this mean lemmy users can’t have the same name as communities? I’d just never noticed.

The issue is that full screen games wouldn’t hold onto the mouse? Are these games running through proton (windows games being launched through steam)? If so, I know there’s an option in protontricks to tweak this behavior per game. “Automatically capture the mouse in full screen windows” in winecfg.

Alternatively, you can try tweaking your steam launch params to use gamescope. Ex.

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- %command%

Where the params denote the resolution and refresh rate of the window. You may need to install gamescope from your package manager.

I have an edge router and switch, and two unifi APs. All accounts running locally. Works fine for my uses, though I think if I had it to do over again I’d investigate pfsense or opnsense. Not sure about hardware tho.

since it uses ZFS I don’t know it would be good for home use

TrueNAS is all I’ve used for my home for the better part of a decade. It’s been fine, what is your concern?

Here’s a good, quick summary. Skip to 13:16.

Predicted…openly by Trump.

If you watch to the end, he explains that the fake ending was so that he could also post a version that doesn’t get “partisan” for the people who want to share the first part about solar to people who may not recieve the second part well. But I don’t think there’s any risk of people not recieving it well here, and I think it’s important that as many people as possible see a typically non-partisan channel break the silence to denounce what is going on. I think if a huge swathe of internet “influencers” were suddenly this vocal, it would wake viewers up, it could change the course of history. It’s when everyone silently continues their regularly scheduled content that democracy silently dissolves.

It was/still is in a bubble. People with a lot of it closed their positions because it was so high. As long as trump continues his same tricks to try and pump the stock market, there’s no reason it won’t go right back up.

I just use gimp, but for the record, someone recently got modern Photoshop working in wine

I feel like if that’s something you’re doing, you’re using containers wrong. At least docker ones. I expect a container to have no state from run to run except what is written to mounted volumes. I should always be able to blow away my containers and images, and rebuild them from scratch. Afaik docker compose always implicitly runs with --rm for this reason.

Just answering the question you asked.

So they could view their cameras while they’re away?

Step 1 is to do everything inside your network with data you don’t care about. Get comfortable starting services, visiting them locally, and playing around with them. See what you like and don’t like. Feel free to completely nuke everything and start from scratch a few times. (Containers like Docker make this super easy).

Step 2 is to start relying on it for things inside your network. Have a NAS, maybe home assistant, or some other services like Immich or Navidrome. Figure out how to give services access to your data without relying on them to not harm it (use read only mounts, permissions, snapshots, etc.)

Step 3 is to figure out how to make services more accessible away from home. Whether that is via a VPN, or something like tailscale, or just carefully opening specific ports to specific secure and up-to-date services. This is the part you’re feeling anxious about, and I think you’ll feel less anxious if you do steps 1 and 2 first and not even think about 3 yet. Consider it its own challenge, and just do one challenge at a time.

Then I can’t share images and albums through Immich :/

Thanks, those are some tricks I didn’t know about.

Thanks, yeah maybe not quite what I was asking for, but it does give me some stuff I didn’t know about that I could consider.

If I had one user that would work, but I have multiple.

What does “laid off” mean if you interpret it literally? Have you ever even thought about it? At least you understand how the the term “redundancy” came about. But what if the words we use to convey concepts are just the words we use to convey concepts, and not an act of malice or compliance?

Yeah, seems like there needs to be a distro made for retrofitting various phones or something with those features. Maybe even using the zune hw.
