Goodbye Reddit, Hello Lemmy
Dieses. Mache ich mittlerweile seit Jahren. Hatte nämlich mal zum Wahlsonntag ne Grippe bekommen und zum Wahllokal schleppen wäre ne Herausforderung und außerdem wollte ich nicht die Omis im Altenheim anstecken. Das Wahllokal war ein Nebenraum des Speisesaals/Aufenthaltsraum und man hätte da an die vorbei gemusst.
Seit dem immer Briefwahl. Da hat man genügend Zeit den Zettel aus zu füllen und zur Post zu bringen. Da kann ich den Sonntag schön entspannen.
Kein Witz, so ähnlich sah es bei einem Kollegen von mir aus. Als guter Freund habe ich ihm Aufräumen geholfen. Depressionen und so. Der komplette Boden war mit Zeug voll und man musste sich erst mit dem Fuß eine freie Fläche zum hintreten frei machen. Ich hab auf dem Boden gepennt, neben Müll. Beim Aufräumen habe ich eine Alditüte entdeckt, mit TK Essen und auf dem Kassenbon stand, dass es da seit nem halben Jahr lag. Ja der war Einkaufen und hat dann sein Essen nicht mehr gefunden. Übrigens ich war noch nie so froh duschen zu können.
Aber ernsthaft: wenn ihr eine solche Situation vorfindet, hat die Person Probleme. Ich kann da jetzt kein perfekten Plan geben, wie man reagieren sollte, aber da ich selber betroffen war und ein Kollege von mir auch, kann ich sagen, man sollte die Person unterstützen und auch durchaus aufzwingen und so tun als ob es einen nicht stört. Jemanden zum Profi zerren ist die falsche Option. Hilfe muss man wollen und wenn man sie nicht will, würde es eher passieren, dass man den Kontakt zu der Person verliert.
Docker is amazing but not needed. You can compare it to a simpler VM. You can take a docker and run it on any machine. You have an environment that is separate from your host and you and the container can only access it via defined points (volumes and ports).
Imagine you need to run a 2nd Mumble Server. I never set on up but its often that a 2nd instance is not that easy. With docker its easy. The only difference is that you need to use different ports, when you have only one network access or you use a reverse proxy. You can create a 2nd instance to test stuff, without interrupting your productive system. Its a security benefit, because its isolated to some degree and you can remove one easily.
I started using it with MSSQL Server, because I hated how invasive it is on a windows machine, especially I just needed it temporarily to do stuff with it. I’m not a microsoft admin and I know that Servers from Microsoft are a different level. Docker allowed me to start and stop it and remove it very easily. After that I started using it for a lot of and brought my NAS on the next level.
Also one thing worth mentioning are Linux Containerx (LXC). They are in Proxmox but I have less knowledge. It feels more like a full VM than docker but uses less resources. This is the reason why containers in general are more popular. They are less resource hungry than a full VM but have some benefits than running everything on one machine. LXC feels more like a full system, than docker. With docker you rarely get into the system. You may execute some commands, like a create user command or a one time job but don’t access it via a shell from the inside (its possible). LXC on the other hand, you use the shell.
Then use a dummy public repo. You don’t get the nice integration. We used Mantis Bugtracker at work for quite some time but switched to Gitea (a selfhosted Github clone) and are trying to get our testers to use it more.
Also you should keep one thing in mind: needing an additional account, might stop people to use it. With Github I contribute for even smaller ideas. When I need to make an account first, I wont do it. Or when they want to use Discord. I do have Discord but come on…
Ach ja immer diese Klugscheißer die meinen sie seien Witzig.
Übrigens wer nicht weiß mit welchen Dokumenten er in anderen Ländern einreisen kann: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/ReiseUndSicherheit/reise-und-sicherheitshinweise
Für die Türkei geht es auch mit Personalausweis, aber der vorläufige Personalausweis wird nicht empfohlen, weil es in der Vergangenheit immer wieder Probleme gab. Man braucht für 90 Tage auch kein Visum (innerhalb von 180 Tagen)
Making an installation script that will work for all, or even most, OSs and processor architectures can be a lot of work. Are you paying the devs to do it?
I do pay for my software, even when its free, when I like the software and the devs. But if the devs/community think they are something better, then no. I had some where they refused a install script and said something along the lines that if you can’t get it running with the docs, you shouldn’t host the software. Yeah I don’t like such devs. Also when they have enough time to write a documentation, they have enough time to write a script. I even had one project, where the dev refused a correction in the docs, even though it was faulty.
Also you don’t need to write a script for every system. You start with the most used ones. I mean just for testing I would get insane, when I have to repeat some steps over and over. At our company I do write scripts for some things that drive me insane. First I got told, it works this way, this costs too much time to do and it doesn’t sell more software. I just did it and now they thank me for that. Even just an internal tool that I wrote for myself, after I drove insane doing stuff manually, now also customers get.
I don’t speak about software where you pull via git, install some prerequisites and run a script. Not shipping prerequisites can have a legal reason and git pull is just a different way of downloading. It also works to download the tagged source code, instead of cloning but this requires more explanation to less skilled users.
Also with docker I came across some projects where they really butchered it. A docker compose file is my preferred way. I have my file + .env and it works for most containers I come across. It looks clean and feels clean. Running one command for creating a user is a understandable step, to avoid default users.
When you like to hammer in a lot of commands into a shell to install something, do it. I prefer my clean, simple and straight forward install scripts. I don’t need a installation doc that goes over every customization that you can make. I want a setup that works for most users and after that, I can dig around every customization there is, to optimize a software how I want it. Not everything is needed right at start and a default value that most users will use, is enough for the start.
Good thing that there is a ton of software and I can pick the ones where I like their philosophy and support them. That is what I do.
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? I’m not speaking of this project but in general. Other projects where they does this, not this one.
I hate when the installation takes like 20 steps. Never heard of an installation script and a interactive installation? I’ve installed far more complex software, that gets this but your shitty programm can’t do it?
And they wonder why nearly nobody uses Linux. In Windows nearly all software comes as an executable. Imagine offering a software under windows, where you need to do the setup manually in a shell.
Danke für den Tipp. Ich muss sowieso bei einigen Probesitzen. Besonders beim Gurt muss ich aufpassen. Hab schon ein paar gehabt, wo ich als Beifahrer diesen schon komplett ausgereizt habe. Und sich da wie bei einem Sportwagen raus schälen muss ich auch nicht haben.
Wenn es soweit ist, muss ich mich halt intensiv damit befassen. Ich muss da auch durchrechnen wo sich sparen lohnt und wo nicht. Hab ja gesehen, wenn ich zu sehr an der Sicherheitsausstattung spare, zahle ich am Ende mehr in die Versicherung.
Da ich bald mein Führerschein mache (bin 30) und da gucke ich mir schon Autos an, die mir gefallen könnten und der Mercedes sieht zumindest so aus, als ob ich bequem drin sitzen könnte. Ist mir auch einige male in den Portalen aufgefallen. Wäre jetzt nicht der Mercedes den man fahren will, wenn man Mercedes fahren will, aber unabhängig der Marke, sieht es zumindest bequem aus. Bin halt groß und fett und da will ich was haben, was bequem ist. Sollte auch als erstes Auto nicht so viel kosten, falls ich durch die Unerfahrenheit mal was mitnehme. Schadensklasse kann ja eh nicht sinken und Schäden an anderen, zahlt ja die Haftpflicht.
Except no. First issue it’s messured wrong. You messure a full package and then an empty one in the factory. Losses during shipping and so on is the problem of the customer. Especially meat looses a lot of water. People don’t weigh the water in the cloth.
Also the little e (estimated sign, 76/211/EEC) besides the package does specially allow variations. Only the entire batch must be correct on average. But there is a limit on how much variations is allowed. And big companies are closely watched.
Except that there exist multiple physical layouts and then keys can be missing and some keys are shaped different.
I program like I learned it? I use my German QWERTZ layout. A lot of keys are different, yes, but I grew up with this layout and I’m used to it. Imagine giving me a US QWERTY layout and I would misstype every time. I even hate it when Windows swtiches my keyboard layout, even though I removed the shortcuts to it and I misstype constantly. Heck even Visual Studio switched my shortcuts and it sucked.
After some time I realized that (Game) Devs suck, because they forget that other layouts exist. Its not a big deal, but at some point I realized that the Chats on T, Y, U makes much more sense on a QWERTY Layout. Also Markdown with ` kinda sucks. For a codeblock, I need to hold shift and press the key that is left of backspace 3 times and then one space, because when I press it once, nothing happens but pressing it a second time, 2 appear. Pressing space let it appear directly. Or I type 4 and remove one.
But this it what I’m used to. And if I ever would work outside Germany, I will bring my own QWERTZ keyboard and require them to install the German Keyboard. I don’t need a German UI. I have all programming related software in English, because its easier to google stuff.
So far so good. The URL is correct, because its the external address. You also don’t need to publish both http and https ports. I only map external https to internal http but you can do https to https. No serious modern browser tries http first and because I always force https anyways, it doesn’t need to be public. Only the reverse proxy may need it, for Let’s Encrypt.
Both UDP aren’t needed for public access. I only have mapped 8096 to my reverse proxy and it works.
Audible + OpenAudible. OpenAudible does “stuff” and you end up with audio files, that you can listen on most devices. Don’t know and care how they do this. Its not free but so is Audible.
When you have an active Audible subscription, you also have access to free Audiobooks. You can download and convert them too. But be aware, that Audible is rate limited. Had downloaded a ton of free audiobooks and after a short limit (maybe 1 hour), I got a long limit for around 24 hours. But I still use Audible. I just have it as a backup and this way I can give my family access to the books I have. But so far my mother only listen to the ones I got for free. I like Science Fiction a lot but my mother not.
A college who I recommended Audiobookshelf, has a subscription from a German only site (Thalia), where apparently the Audiobooks can be downloaded as MP3s. So far I prefer Audible, even with DRM, just because the availability. Not all books I listen to, are available on that site or much later.
Ich frage mich ob das ganze auch geheimer geht. Ich will ja nicht gleich meinen Server zeigen und ggf. für irgendwas rechtfertigen müssen. So nach dem Motto warum man Instanz XY verknüpft hat bzw. warum man XY nicht blockiert hat, weil die was ganz böses macht und man selber keinen Plan hat, weil man die sich nie angeguckt hat.
We Germans had this a few years ago. Sky Ticket was more expensive than Sky Q and offered less. I went with an IPTV Sky Box in year 2, because Sky Ticket was cheaper in the first year. The IPTV Box does kinda suck though. I get Free TV in HD for free but no ability to record and no 4K and HDR option, though it even got announced a while back.
To be fair, Sky has some exclusive series or at least exclusive for a year or so, so its not a total waste. And you still get ads (I don’t speak about the sponsors on track). At least not during a race but right after the race during the inlap.
