Cool. You can just add it on the systemsettings.

Your windows disappearing in a flame seems awesome…

It’s a very beautiful moon. Too bad one needs a telescope to see it.

I asked the AI to be sure:

on won what letter does the “AI” start in “IPA”?

The “ai” sound in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) starts with the letter “a” in the combination “aɪ” which represents the diphthong sound like the “long i” in words such as “buy,” “aisle,” and “isle.” The IPA sequence “aɪ” begins with the letter “a” and is followed by the letter “ɪ” to form this diphthong sound. So, the “AI” sound in IPA starts on the letter “a.” This diphthong consists of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable, starting with an open front vowel [a] and gliding to a near-close near-front vowel [ɪ].

So, it’s confirmed. The “AI” is there where “IPA” has an “A” followed by an “I”.

Ouch, I don’t follow him, YT just sends me the videos all the time.

It’s officially about Linux, so I’m not sure I’ve got it right. I think it’s this one:

Oh no, I’ve read your last sentence. The people in one side of that issue are the problem. The issue itself has no sides.

It takes longer to configure a newer slicer than to test if the old one works in wayland :)

When I need something more advanced, like customized supports, I’ll migrate. Didn’t happen yet.

They are using a shitty language that does almost nothing for them and doesn’t guarantee the final binary will do anything close to what the source implies. There’s no sides to this. It’s just reality.

If they aren’t trying to migrate away from it, it’s not good. If they actively insist on harassing the people trying to help them migrate away from it, they are the problem.

Slic3r doesn’t work on it.

No idea of why. (But I suspect it’s about the several monitors thing.) Will probably try again in a year or 5.

There’s a Youtube channel that mostly just follows the wayland bug tracker.

Yes, because I also have a Windows installation and use it at work. So yeah, I do think it’s unreliable.

The added features made it harder to deploy, came with some bugs, and overall traded a simple design for community-oriented features that IMO were a negative value overall.

IMO, the Gogs dev was correct. If you look at that community input and what Gitea became, I was glad to use the version that rejected it.

But I don’t know how it compares with Forgejo.

Not really. The software being proprietary turns support into a monopoly.

The support can still be better, but it will be despite the software being proprietary, not because of it.

(And by the way, single developers on their spare time create proprietary software too.)

it’s always one of the back corners

If it’s always in the same orientation, it also can be caused by cold wind. Look at your enclosure ventilation, or try putting an obstacle there if there isn’t an enclosure.

You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

Many people on lemmy has some ideology that either consider others insufferable, or is considered insufferable by most people.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t organize something on social media, you just need one with freedom of expression (so, no overseeing algorithm), and a clique of people capable of organizing themselves. It may even be possible to get that here.

Mint fixes a lot of the problems with Ubuntu.

It will still break given enough time. But in my experience, it mostly works when recently installed. (I still don’t use it, but it’s better.)

Linux is clearly inferior to Linux. Have you tried Linux? It beats Linux in every single dimension!

Honestly, it has been working perfectly fine to me for a couple of decades. With games and everything. But that’s not the same Linux that everybody uses. Each person that installs it lives in a different universe from everybody else.

But anyway, if we could just stop the Ubuntu propaganda and avoid people starting with that piece of shit, a lot of the problems would disappear.
