Nice!! Setting up now.

Edit: I’ve installed tempus and connected it to my subsonic server. I have a mix of m4a, MP3, flac and opus.

So far, it looks great.

Any features you want tested?

If you can get it working, pretty bad.

Conky is just a standalone program, you just need to install it and invoke it. It lives in the default repos.

There are some windowing switches you’ll need to get familiar with to make it behave the way you want, but it’s just the one .conkyrc file to change things.

X11 tablet interfaces do exist, but they all use mouse emulation, which is a pretty poor experience.

I can speak to the xfce experience on a surface pro 6.

+1 for afraid.org.

12 years and counting, propagation is sufficiently fast.

Employees can cover them up while working.

I’m obviously talking about face and neck tattoos.

What places are you even talking about?

Have you been to Québec? La place est completement basee sur l’eglise catholique. Si on commence avec les symboles, qu’est-ce qui arrete Roberge de monter une croisade d’annihilation de toute association religieuse? C’est pas mal ce qu’il veut.

Don’t put up religious holiday decorations.

Yeah, that’ll fly.

Look, I’m French Canadian, and I’m all for not having religion involved in professional decisions, but people are human. They show culture. Previous attempts at this kind of “purism” by prohibition have failed for this reason.

I notice you didn’t include the religious holidays.

Incorrect. You said you were curious to know, I’m telling you what the concerns are.

It is very difficult to describe the boundaries of culture, and therefore difficult to enforce evenly across the board.

Culture is built into more than just symbols worn on the body. If Quebec were truly trying for secularism, there wouldn’t be a day off for Easter or Christmas.

This is an attempt at some form of Quebecois “purism”, same as banning signs in English.

The problem with this ban is what constitutes “religion”, and what symbols are included.

• tattoos?
• names of places?
• holiday decorations?

People show their culture. It has historically not worked very well to suppress culture.

You manage your identities and passwords yourself, so that when this happens the damage is more contained.

If you’re on the same subnet, no amount of reverse proxy will help with dodgy apps. It’s more appropriate to put the dodgy iot in a DMZ to control what they can do.

Putting https on these is fine, but it’s not a solution to isolating bad clients.

For two years, yes.

Oh, yeah, I remember that time. Upgrading between major versions isn’t perfect, but it has improved dramatically since about 2017 on both Ubuntu and Debian.

Debian has also just implemented apt v3, which adds many basic http/s quality-of-life improvements to package downloading and installing (like multithread, better config definitions, easier key mgmt, etc)

I don’t know about Ubuntu because I moved from Ubuntu to debian 4 years ago for other reasons, but I’m sure they have aptv3 as well.

Europe can’t, nor will partner with Graphene OS because 1) Graphene OS likely won’t exist in 5 years with android becoming more and more closed, and 2) Graphene OS is still forced to use:

• Google phones
• proprietary android drivers
• proprietary Google services via shared accounts for some services
• manufacturer baseband modems, which are closed and very few people know how much data they send and where

I applaud your initiative and enthusiasm, but there are significantly more hurdles than simply convincing the EU to partner with a few companies.

If you are serious about this, start looking at projects Steam is supporting (like Proton) and figure put how we can get more developer time into existing Linux phone solutions.

How were dist upgrades going bad?

Debian’s footguns are better documented and are generally there for good reason. Ubuntu’s footguns are there because “fuck the user”.

I love 11ty, I build my blog with it.

“Like my fat mama used to say: if you want a box hurled into the sun, you got to do it yourself.”

The bad thing I mentioned is the loss of our individual control on our lives, things that most countries have enshrined in their constitutions: self-determination, the right to relatively good health, the right to control our lives. These things have eroded away in a terrible and malignant way.

You can quite comfortably exist in the digital space and access everything you need via others if you want.

I can, you can, and several others here can… But it is hard fucking work, and it’s a conscious choice we make against the current. Most ppl don’t care.

When you don’t participate in normal activities like Instagram, LinkedIn, etc, you can see the eyerolls.

It galls me very bitterly that I, who once championed Google and other online services, who lived online and used internet services and was at the forefront of technology use, am now forced to actually retreat from these parts of what is now called daily life just so I can live with myself.

The bad thing has happened.

We should not be the ones made to feel out of place for assuming that our data should be ours. We should be more outraged that companies can create apps to control our bed temps and just shut the service down without notice, or go bankrupt and sell the data to someone we don’t know or consent to, or create a new subscription model to heat our fucking car seats.

If there is some ambiguity to you about whether the bad thing has happened, start asking yourself why Signal, the “beacon of privacy” had some services fail during the aws outage.

Yeah, I don’t like the reliance of tailscale on servers and peering points out of my view.

Manual wireguard for me.
