What's the quickest way to learn Spanish?
  • You have to completely immerse yourself in Spanish content if you want to learn it quickly. Switch your phone and PC to Spanish. Start only watching Spanish language videos and shows. Read only Spanish language news. Listen to only Spanish language music. The only time you should hear or see English is when you're communicating with someone who doesn't speak Spanish.

    That's the fastest way (without moving to a Spanish speaking country).

  • Is Google Maps getting worse?

    My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

    Infinite energy is easy. Point a flashlight at a solar charger that charges a flashlight pointed at a solar charger that charges the first flashlight.

    And don’t tell me this doesn’t work, it’s how I’ve run my house for the past ten years.

    Donald Trump has fully embraced sharing AI generated images of Kamala Harris.

    Does he realize anyone can make them? Like, for example, an image of him crying on his way to court while protesters throw cheese at him.

    Help remembering a song.

    I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.

    Nephele WebDAV Server now supports deduplicated file storage.

    https://hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/nephele

    In the latest version of Nephele, you can now create a WebDAV server that deduplicates files that you add to it.

    I created this feature because every night at midnight, my Minecraft world that my friends and I play on gets backed up. Our world has grown to about 5 GB, but every night, the same files get backed up over and over. It's a waste of space to store the same files again and again, but I want the ability to roll back our world to any day in the past.

    So with this new feature of Nephele, I can upload the Minecraft backup and only the files that have changed will take up additional space. It's like having infinite incremental backups that never need a full backup after the first time, and can be accessed instantly.

    Nephele will only delete a file from the file storage once all copies that share the same file contents have been deleted, so unlike with most incremental backup solutions, you can delete previous backups easily and regain space.

    Edit: So, I think my post is causing some confusion. I should make it clear that my use case is specific for me. This is a general purpose deduplicating file server. It will take any files you give it and deduplicate them in its storage. It's not a backup system, and it's not a versioning system. My use case is only one of many you can use a deduplicating file server for.

    I wrote this article about grieving as an atheist.

    I talk about my beliefs about what happens during the process of death, and how that can provide comfort as an atheist.

    Recommendations for a bug tracker/forum?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for bug trackers with a forum feature? Basically something where users can report issues, request features, and ask questions, all about a specific service. Preferably, I’d like something that integrates with GitHub issues, but that’s not a requirement. Also I’d like something like a public roadmap or project tracker.

    Question: Best UI to manage VMs and containers?

    At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories.

    I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system.

    What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it.

    I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it.

    What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?

    Nephele WebDAV server for Docker

    After a lot of work (cause I’m new to it), I published my first Docker image!

    Nephele is an open source WebDAV server written by yours truly. I’ve been using it for about a year now on my own home server. It basically acts as my self hosted cloud storage and all of my PCs and my family’s PCs back up to it. It’s FOSS, so use it for your own project. :)
