Have you ever heard of the great firewall of China? It's always a budget issue, not a technical issue. We can block what we want with the right resources.
That's surely a sign of a healthy economy when people have so much money they don't need to invest, right? Right?? /s
The question is: does it make sense to buy toothpaste with fluoride then or can I buy one without? Just because my kids don't like the peppermint ones and other flavours are most of the times without fluoride
Well, not everyone at the same time, just one at a time! Lol
I understand what you mean, I'm just kidding.
Well, not from the door opening, you are right (pressure difference and such). But he already injured a flight attendant, so I guess he wasn't going to say "oh well it doesn't open, I tried, I'll sit down quietly now".
Debate and arguing are two separate things. Unfortunately on the internet the former usually quickly descend into the latter.
I'm sorry that's your experience, here mother's and father's day are pretty even I guess. Tbh I only see what my kids bring back from school and all the adverts for each day.
I know that men talking about their issues is not welcomed everywhere. If you need to talk and nobody of your friends/family wants to listen it sucks, but you need to reach outside of your inner circle. I've found great people to talk to online on anonymous chats. Simplex.chat has some groups (it's a bit of a pain to find your way through at the beginning and you need to sift through some shit before finding some good people. As in life).
If people around you are shit, change people. It sucks, but you'll be better off in the long run.
Apologies, I didn't mean it as "duh, just download it, stupid, hur hur" to you personally. It was more an opportunity to raise awareness of those tools. (Pretty sure they are well known but it never hurts)
Shiver me timbers!
Help with slidge configuration on Prosody
Hi, I've set up a prosody server. It works, video calls (with Turn) work, file transfers works. So far so good.
I'd like to install slidge with the whatsapp bridge, but the official slidge documentation is... not great in my opinion.
I've added the priviledge module declaration and the whatsapp bridge information. For what I understand I also need to define a pubsub service, but I can't understand where and with what information.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!
static website generator
Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.
I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.
I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.
I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
fermenting buddies
The one on top is my levain starter, bottom is kimchi (first aattempt, fingers crossed!).
I just find it funny that they are in their cozy corner bubbling away together 😄
game with no monsters? solved
Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together.
Thanks!
ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option
only_peaceful_mobs = true
in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2
I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol.
Thanks to @GrappleHat@lemmy.ml for the tip!
XMPP and whatsapp bridge
Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).
My requirements are:
- e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
- audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
- whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.
Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).
So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.
Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
wholemeal sourdough
after a few months of tries this one looks better!
- 200gr wholemeal stoneground flour
- 80gr spelt flour
- 100gr white flour
- 100gr starter
- 250ml water (actually a smidge less than that)
- salt
Folded 5 times every 30 minutes. Let it rest for a 5 hours on the kitchen counter, degassed (well, that's just a fancy word, it just deflated when I poked it lol), then let it rest overnight (12 hours) in the fridge. Cooked in the oven inside dutch oven. Let it cool for 24hours before cutting it.
Taste good, it's not as wet as the previous experiments where I just let it rest overnight in the fridge.
It's "dense", which in a way is good because if the holes were too big the butter/peanut butter would just drip through! But I'd like to have it a just a bit more fluffy I guess. I know the starter is good because when I feed it it grows like crazy (and smells good).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
That's not how kites work
Unless you are in dangerously high winds (like shit-flying-around-winds), when you cut the string on a kite it comes down. Sadly and floppily.
Edit: spelling
Happy sysadmin day!
May the uptime be long and the logs without errors (and not just because logging is broken!)
Self hosting minecraft
Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).
I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA
