Little kids..
I am amazed it took this long. Tinker Bell was huge with all the little girls when my kid was in elementary school. I was surprised by hugely popular the character was.
The Washington, DC-based Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) said it tracked posts that explicitly dehumanised, excluded, and incited violence against Muslims from 1 January to 5 March.
On the day the war began, the volume of such posts surged from just under 2,000 per day to more than 6,000, the report said. “Reposts dramatically amplify the visibility of harmful content, allowing it to spread far beyond the original accounts that generated it.”
With reposts included, “the total mention volume of Islamophobic content rises to 279,417, representing an 11-fold amplification of the harmful original posts”.
The content examined by CSOH encompassed a wide swath that included everything from personal hate-fuelled opinions to calls for lawmakers to institute strict anti-Muslim policy, including a “Muslim Exclusion Act” and the deportation of all Muslims.
Do you know what the Muslims in my neighborhood are? Really good people and good neighbors.
Unlike that excretion of South Africa named Musk.
I’m sure some of those posts are made by genuine asshole humans, but I would bet that most of them are either paid for or made by AI. With the endorsement and/or money of Twitter’s owner, of course.
Fuck hate with a sharpened stick.
I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searx, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).
Welcome! Good to meet you.
Hardware: - hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF - i5-8500 - 32 GB RAM - 250 ssd boot disk - 1TB nvme - 2 x 4 TB SSD
I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:
Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.
I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.
The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user
Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)
Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!
Oh shit…I guess it is Tuesday now. I went to bed early on sunday night, but couldn’t sleep much. gave up on trying to sleep and got out of bed at 4:00am and I’ve been awake until now.
No matter how bad my day is, I come home and my cat Scruffy curls up next to me. He will be by my side until I leave for work the next day. 😻
I use fluxcd with helmrelease’s which auto update the helm release. If the helm chart versions specify container versions, then updating the helm chart updates the containers in the deployments.
But for raw deployments, I found this, but not much else.
Interesting. I’m using Argo, there may be something similar for it
Found a new purpose for the unused left-over parts of a magnetic letter game my daughter got.
I am very intrigued at the odd layout.
Coversion project of old US Army housing from the fifties, after the Gl’s had left 30 years ago after Cold War had ended.
Means there are 100s of nearly identical ones in our direct neighbourhood.
So common and unique at the same time :-)
Statistics for Strava is a self-hosted, open-source dashboard for your Strava data.
Features and improvements worth mentioning since we lasted posted here:
As always, thanks for your feedback and I’m looking forward to more feature requests! Stay fit, stay healthy 💪
You may want to look at the supported devices on this project. It’s an app to get data to/from wearables.
Two of the supported devices are bangle.js and bangle.js 2. These are open source smart watches with GNSS and HR, which have different apps available already that I believe can record data without your phone connected, and then sync later, either to your phone or computer (not sure on that one). And you can develop your own apps too of course.
I don’t really know much more than that. I do want to get back into exercising regularly, and would like to track my progress, so I may get one myself at some point.
I’ve already looked into gadgetbridge, but all supported devices unfortunately have fairly limited functionality. I get that it’s the premise with the reverse engineering they do to make things almost work.
The bangle.js models are a fucking ugly apple watch clone, I’d never wear that thing. And I’m not looking to get an actual smartwatch, I have no need for any of that clutter or a desire to charge my watch daily or every other day.
I’ve used a coros pace 2 for a long time, definitely not private but very limited smartwatch bullshit and >week of battery with +1h of daily GPS tracked running. Not supported by gadgetbridge though.
My question is… where did I go so right?
It includes characters like Daxter the Praying Mantis and Kiki the Lunar Moth, among others.
He is creating all the art (and he is damn good) and the dialogue, then his friends will help with the technical stuff.
Sure, it may never see the light of day, but I’m just proud he is doing something this weird.
That’s my boy.
Idk man… a lunar moth? Sounds more like a boo-boo to me
Hello!
I’ve spent a lot of time struggling with Hetzner’s KVM console, there are a lot of problems causing severe issues with settings up passwords and passphrases. I just thought I’d create this “guide” to get things rolling, for everyone who faces the same issues I’ve faced.
Set up a firewall and only open port 22 with your IP (you can look it up using ip.me).
Perform the installation procedure as normal, setting very simple passwords and passphrases for the user accounts and the disk encryption. Set them to something like 123. These will be changed later!
I’m using Debian 13, the steps may or may not be the same for your choice of distribution.
Unmount the ISO and reboot. Enter the console again, log in as root with your simple password. Now, if you have the same problem as me, keys like /, CTRL etc. won’t work, so I used tab completion and vi to to modify the config file.
# cd ../etc/ssh/
# vi sshd<TAB>
Inside vi, press o to create a new line and enter insert mode. Add:
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
Press ESC and then <SHIFT>-yy (so holding shift and pressing y twice). This will save the file and exit vi.
ssh into your VPS. Now you have full keyboard access like usual. Install dropbear-initramfs, which is an SSH server that’s placed in the initial RAM filesystem so that you can ssh into your VPS during start up so you can easily enter your encryption passphrase.
Generate a new key pair and add the public key to /etc/dropbear/initramfs/authorized_keys
Run update-initramfs -u and reboot. You should now be able to ssh into your VPS using the key you just generated. The following command lets you unlock the encrypted disk:
cryptroot-unlock
This will probably disconnect you from the tunnel, simply re-establish the SSH tunnel again.
To change the encryption passphrase:
# cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdXY
# cryptsetup luksRemoveKey
Lock the root user and change the password of your user (don’t forget to add the user to the sudo group!):
# passwd -l root
# passwd user
Done!
At this point you might want to use some other means to access the server, such as Netbird or Tailscale or Wireguard. Regardless of how you decide to access the server, you should revert the changes to sshd_config.
P.S.
I have no idea if this is a secure or good way to do this. Use at your own risk!
They might care if it’s 69420 since the max port number is 2^16 = 65536
You can fire packets as fast as you like, but if my end can’t process them that fast, either they’ll get dropped or you’ll knock me offline. Neither makes a valid scan.
For what it is worth Mad Men takes off after S1, you kind of have to get through S1.
Season 2 has been great so far.
Second the advice to go in blind. Season 1 was a little slow in the middle but we’ll worth it
