You tell them to plug their nose and swallow the medicine because the consequences of not choosing the better of 2 options in a 2 party system is loss of life and rights for innumerable people all over the world.

Counterpoint. This line of thinking is what got me living under an ACTUAL fascist regime right now. People did purity testing with Harris on whatever issue, pick your poison (Gaza, police accountability, etc) and it moved the needle. How much will never be known, but a chunk of people spent so much time listening to talking heads and streamers that they decided to not vote for her. And now we have Trump, destabilizing the world, letting a guy with brain worms decide everyone’s health. Harris would have been the best option by far even if she was not perfect, but fixing good was always a better option than rejecting not-perfect. If framework goes away, good luck getting another right-to-repair first org to build hardware. There has never been a better time to make the point “stop purity testing things, acknowledge when things are the better option, and work to make them even better.” All this “us vs. them” and using language that paints anything as black or white moves the needle on people passively reading comments, and does actual harm. Living in a world without a grey area does actual harm.

Purity testing everything you use means you have to get off Lemmy, if you look at the statements from some of the core devs. It is no way to live and is pretty much incompatible with being on the internet. Framework is clearly doing more good than harm, and while no company is perfect or immune from critique, feedback from customers does more than knee-jerk comments from people with no stakes.

I really dislike this headline. A vulnerability was found, responsibly disclosed, and the vendor was responsive and is planning/pushing a fix. The headline drowns a successful mitigation in flowery language of controversy. The article also shows how this can happen on other vendor devices, but the headline here looks like just Framework messed up, when they’re the only vulnerable vendor with a fix in the pipeline (based on the info in the article). I really hate headline-bait journalism.

This, and he wanted connection from someone of his species, and the first officer of the one ship that can overcome the plot debuff happens to be that species, a species we barely see outside this plot…it’s writing so bad you can’t see the show through it. Emotional stories are appropriate, it’s why Troi was a bridge officer. But this show was constantly setting up unsolvable problems that could only be fixed by this one crew, which breaks immersion. Good trek doesn’t have 50 Galaxy or universe ending threats only fixable by plot-armored main characters, it has ship, person, and planet level threats giving you the space to appreciate the human story. Even DS9 kept the stories on missions while the thread of the war was just a hum with reasonable stakes.

Neo Launcher has development stagnation, but otherwise it’s very feature close and an influx of users might get more dev attention.

What the actual fuck are you on about? This is a technical argument about whether rust should be allowed innthe Linux kernel and the impact of that decision on devs, you absolute troglodyte.

So first, it’s assumed that the transition between matter and energy has evolved to be essentially lossless in the trek canon, and you just have to assume that’s true. This is handled with the “Matter-energy conversion matrix” which is a hand-wavey sci-fi invention like a “Heisenberg Compensator.” See https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Matter-energy_conversion_matrix

Additionally, this process is bidirectional; waste on a starship is converted into energy and stored. This is done with the “bio-matter resequencer” and is referenced a few times, see:

• https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Waste
• https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bio-matter_resequencer
• https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Waste_extraction_system

This is a threat without any risk to MTG. If she does it and beats McBride up, she’ll be a hero to her base and will get pardoned if she catches a charge. If she does it and McBride fights back, her narrative will become “violent trans people” and “a man dressing as a woman beat up a congressperson.” Saying things like this are 100% wins to the psychopath party and their base, and I’m ashamed to share this country with them.

This is a good breakdown. A firehose relay takes TB’s of storage and is not practical for self-hosting, and AppView isn’t hostable yet: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

It’s probably more than you are looking for but if you are already looking at self hosting things connected with NextCloud, use NextCloud Talk. We use it for the family and it is great.

This may not be exactly what you want, but I use Apache guacamole for this. The client becomes a web browser, and a chromium based browser allows seamless bidirectional clipboard. I use Ubuntu VMs with Mate as the DM and with a few keybinds tweaked it is solid. I use tightVNC as my server which supports dynamic resize, and the soon to be released guacamole 1.6 supports sending dynamic resize (since the underlying libraries are now updated to support it; RDP in guac already supports dynamic resize). How performant is it? I have a single proxmox vm which runs 3 Minecraft instances for our server’s 3 bot accounts (which just stand still) and the desktop is still navigable.

I’ve read extensively about that, and this thread was very helpful, and my understanding is that’s still not really a DRS equivalent, but more of a recovery mode: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/ha-cluster-resource-scheduling-filling-in-the-missing-pieces-from-the-docs.139187/

Where do you see the load balancing feature? Searching for exactly that was what got me to ProxLB. I have HA groups and fences, but that’s less resource allocation than failure resolution in my experience. My cluster is 8.2.7.

I posted to the forums, but I got a “YMMV” kind of answer; the docs say it’s technically unsupported: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#_requirements

The hosts have CPUs from the same vendor with similar capabilities. Different vendor might work depending on the actual models and VMs CPU type configured, but it cannot be guaranteed - so please test before deploying such a setup in production.

I’m setting the CPU Type to x86-64-v2-AES which is the highest my westmere CPU’s can do. I have a path to getting all 3 nodes to the 6525 hardware, pending some budget and some decomm’s at work.

I’m battling this right now; it SHOULD work but does not work consistently. Again, homelab, not ideal environment. I’m going from 2 R710’s with Xeons to a 3-node cluster with the 710’s and an EPYC R6525. Sometimes VM’s migrate fine, sometimes they hang and have to be full reset. Ultimately this was fine as I didn’t migrate much, but then I slapped on a DRS-like thing, and I see it more. I’ve been collecting logs and submitting diagnostics; even pegging the VM’s to a common CPU arch didn’t fix it.

To that end, DRS alternatives are still mostly plugins. This was the go-to, but then it was abandoned:

https://github.com/cvk98/Proxmox-load-balancer

And now I’m getting ready to go deeper into this, but I want to resolve the migration hangs first:

I think you are looking at this wrong. Proxmox is not prod ready yet, but it is improving and the market is pushing the incumbent services into crappier service for higher prices. Broadcom is making VMware dip below the RoI threshold, and Hyper-v will not survive when it is dragging customers away from the Azure cash cow. The advantage of proxmox is that it will persist after the traditional incumbents are afterthoughts (think xenserver). That’s why it is a great option for the homelab or lab environment with previous gen hardware . Proxmox is missing huge features…vms hang unpredictably if you migrate vms across hosts with different CPU architectures (Intel -> AMD), there is no cluster-wide startup order, and things like DRS equivalents are still separate plugins. That being said knowing it now and submitting feedback or patches positions you to have a solution when MS and Broadcom price you out of on-prem.

I’m super happy and excited for GIMP 3.0. I hate that this info was presented in a youtube video. I can gleam what I want to know from an article with bullet points (which I could find) but I’m sick of half the information I search for being returned in a video, with a fixed time commitment and imprecise “scrolling” to skip. I feel like in search and link aggregators, more and more content is video instead of text and I’m not here for it.

I totally agree…the best solution for the specific problem. “Cloud” was the buzzword solution to every problem for a few years and it wasn’t great in a lot of cases. High I/O home grown apps to be used from a single campus don’t need to be in the cloud. Bulk archive storage doesn’t need to be in the cloud, things like lecture recordings from 10+ years.

I don’t understand your disbelief here, the 2 major players in online email and account mgmt (for education) are Google and Microsoft and both are 0 cost, but the bait and switch is the limit lowering mid cycle, not even on the academic calendar. Now that exchange on-prem is essentially dead and Google and MS control email via blacklist politics, it’s a captive market.
