LOL, at a quick glance one might even be able abuse a scheduled job on free-tier GitHub runner for the data update and host it statically on GitHub pages.

“Serverless for the poor”

Usually you run it on a potato

Never tried it, and IIRC, motd is just a text file - but does that stop you from running a systemd timer to update it every few minutes? Or, if it’s your own server and there’s only a single user (logging in), put a script in your profile that changes the motd for the next login?

Last week I noticed that Lemmy doesn’t like certain characters when posting URLs and silently replaces them - in my case %20 got converted into + which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.

I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…

Check this comment out where I used every possible value from %00 to %FF in URLs. The second half (above %80) gets wild

2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.

Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

Thats the problem. Say, I’m offering you a cloud drive and tell you “your data is end to end encrypted”. You sync data from your PC to my server and from my server to your mobile phone. Would that mean

1. That everything between your devices is encrypted (=I can’t see what you’re saving, neither can “the state”, hackers,…)or
2. That your data is encrypted in transit, but is saved unencrypted on my server (which means everyone with access to my server can see your data) or
3. It’s encrypted in transit and also on my server, but the keys are also ony server, so that everyone with access to my server can in theory decrypt everything and access everything?

1 is what you want, 2 and 3 are often what you get…

Do not look at all those (proprietary) E2EE definitions to closely - you might find several that define TLS as end to end…

Shhhh… Don’t make it even more obvious. The fig leaf covering it is already so flaccid, that it might instantaneously turn into dust at the slightest disturbance.

Depends. Are you from the EU or not?

Oracle Cloud offers 4 ARM cores, 24GB RAM and 200GB storage in their free tier (IIRC you can even divide that into 4 separate VMs). Very useful for cheap testing, if your code/server supports ARM.

Even then, a small underpowered x64 VM for testing purposes is often free on all hyperscalers. Not the fastest server, but depending on the use case?

Looks at it loosely: Well it looks like cool tech, and the first to offer it might have a new market all alone and can earn money and…

puts on tin hat have you looked around lately? Being able to directly access brains and probably inject God knows what signals to maybe be able to alter behavior of people and/or literally brainwash them is a sure way to get funding in late stage capitalism. [They] just want to be on the “correct side” of this. [They] just want control!

Which part is the lie? That he wouldn’t fuck his daughter if she weren’t his daughter or that he would fuck his daughter if she were his daughter?

Then we agree to disagree

Grammar Nazi chiming in:

Too meaning ‘also’

We can use too to mean ‘also’. It is more common than also in informal situations. We normally use it at the end of the clause.

In short answers in informal situations, we normally say me too, not I too.

In more formal situations, we can use too immediately after the subject.

As I said over and over again: my biggest pet peeve with Linux is that there are often several ways to accomplish something but many are somewhat distribution specific and not really standardized.

Who doesn’t love to find a tool that has install instructions like:

Start by installing all required packages with sudo apt get package1, package2,... then clone this repository and…

Just to realize that a) you’re not running anything Debian based and b) you first step is now to find out how these packages are named in your package manager.

Or tutorials that tell you to do X and you only find out, that they’re assuming (but not telling you) you’re using Debian and some old package versions that now have a completely new syntax in their configuration, so that either the tutorial doesn’t work or you maybe even f up something by changing values that you shouldn’t touch.

Best is, of you find help in a distribution specific forum/wiki/… But not all problems can be found there

Wait if that’s the most ridiculous part, then… Does the smartphone even know when it’s switched on or off?

Saw the pic and immediately wanted to suggest a PR at misbrands - but then I read the text. Nice work.

You wouldn’t download a Starbucks,…

You state that you did use the install script, but also that you want to run it with docker. Did you follow the instructions in their docker repository? It’s quite easy to get it running - they included a complete docker-compose, a Caddyfile and all you need.

Edit, I’m dumb, I misread.

You can add alt text in the square brackets, but many apps won’t show it.

This then renders as
