From the article: *Large SUVs were particularly affected. According to the police, notes were attached to the cars indicating that they were harmful to the climate. The tyres were not punctured, but merely deflated. The cars were parked in the area between the S-Bahn line and Elbchaussee around Kanzleistraße. *

Personally, I like this protest way more than glueing themselves to the streets, causing traffic jams where cars burn gasoline for hours and ambulances / firefighters / police gets stuck, putting innocent life in danger.

The article is in German. Warning: this link leads to google translate.

Currently kinda controversial, but currently it's still Fedora, the xfce4 version.

I had Debian for some time before, but had my apt packages messed up a couple of times to the point I had to entirely re-install. In stable, I was missing sufficiently recent versions, in testing I had other problems.

With Fedora dnf I had less problems recovering, usually more recent versions.

Xfce4 is just more suitable for my needs than Gnome.

Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)

Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.

I had a Brother printer, the costs were prohibitive. For over a decade now buy discarded office laserjet printers, chunky as hell, but for 100€ you get tens of thousands of pages out of them. And for those 100€, often a duplex unit is included. Am currently on my 2nd printer over 15 years.

Sounds like "screen"? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

I think that's a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)

They could just charge for-profit companies instead.

How? The whole point of the GPL is that they can't.

I think the Ryzen CPU just gives more bang for the buck, as well considering purchase price as energy consumption. That's not Linux related, but I think Linux users generally tend to care less about "market leader", sometimes even as far as consciously supporting the underdog.

As far as I read recently, currently the liquid to provide the cells with nutrition is gathered from slaughtering cattle. I couldn't find the link, will keep looking, but if anyone has information to the contrary, I'd be happy. I love the idea of meat-taste without animal cruelty and I think it is the way we have to go if we as a species want to survive.

EDIT: https://gemeinsam-gegen-die-tierindustrie.org/en/clean-meat-the-solution-to-the-problems/

In any case, it is important to bear in mind that the production process regularly relies on fresh muscle tissue and continuously on growth serum.

The growth serum is usually obtained from the heart of a calf embryo, for which the calves and sometimes the mother cow are slaughtered.9b Some companies state that they have replaced the calf serum with an algae nutrient solution.10 It also remains to be seen whether this alternative will prevail.

As the domain name already suggests ("Together against animal industries"), this article seems heavily biased, however. If tissue of a calf embryo is required for the serum, that's not a calf, but an embryo, which is slaughtered. Just like abortion is not murder.

Nevertheless, I hope the mentioned algea nutrition solution will prove a viable alternative.

 

Shouldn't books be sorted by ISBN? :-)

 

I have my self-hosted instance now, but there are some issues / open questions:

  • When going to my admin-page, I see tons of banned users I never banned myself. Who banned them, why do I need to know about it?
  • Concerned I might have left my instance too open and they might have used my instance for spamming, I tried to look for all users on my instance. By directly accessing postgres:lemmy and checking the user-ids, I saw it's just the expected ones, however, I wasn't able to find the usernames, neither easily in postgres nor on the lemmy admin page. Any ideas?
  • I see timeouts when accessing my lemmy instance, however, the host doesn't show high cpu-, memory- or network-load and I don't see anything immediately suspicious in the logs. According to iftop, there aren't insane amounts of connections, either. Sometimes it seems to help temporarily to restart my apache server. Any ideas, what to look out for?

I started my own instance and do currently not intend to open it for others (besides, maybe, close friends and family).

My intention are

  • to learn more about the concepts
  • evaluate how reliable the replication of comments and posts works
  • maybe create my own pseudo-community just for myself, as kind of a simplified blog

Reading other posts in this sub, I saw it is still seen as offloading the main servers, as the replication of the data is a low load compared to serving the UI. Maybe one of these motivations apply to you, too? Or you find another one? At the end of the day, host your own instance if you want to :-)
