Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
That's why we need two ssds for dual boot in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

It's relatively quick and easy to fix if you have a live boot Linux usb stick ...and probably a second machine so you can Google what to do. It's just also rather worrying at the time.

I really wish Excel would work on wine. It's the only reason I do occasionally fire up windows on my duel boot. (And no the open source / browser based spreadsheet options don't always suffice, brilliant as they are).

Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] Teppic@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

My main issue is I'm not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.

xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument in c/xkcd@lemmy.world

You've got me there, but by logical extension you are now saying the celestial body the ISS orbits is ...the moon?

You seem to be saying that the earth-moon barycente can be logically referred to as just 'the moon' ?

Is there a downvote bot on lemmy or something that downvotes a post regardless of the content ? If there is a downvote bot what can we do about it ? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Teppic@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Some people use apps which hide posts they have interacted with. A downvote counts as interaction so people in turn then liberally downvote nearly everything. Yes it's unhelpful and dumb. Solution, use kbin and at least you can see who downvoted you! (Except I don't think downvotes are federated).

They seem to have resolved their supply chain issues for now. I could buy a Pi 5 and have it dispatched tomorrow, and I did buy a Pi 4b recently, no issues with delays or lead times.

Large majority of EU countries will hit 2030 solar targets ahead of schedule, according to new data.

Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin (kbin.social)
 

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots.

Kbin let's you have a curated feed of posts from the fediverse (including Mastodon toots) which is sorted by new, hot, top etc.

Steps:

  1. First, if you are subscribed to the https://kbin.social/m/Random magazine, I'd suggest you unsubscribe - kbin drops everything which it can't allocate to a magazine into here, which for the Microblog stuff is a lot of noise.

  2. Do make sure you've subscribed to a few magazines, but also you can subscribe to domains like https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc

  3. Follow people (I'm not sure of they will show up, but can't harm)

...now look at "Subscribed", and then choose the Microblog section (on desktop it's a tab at the top, on mobile you'll need to scroll to the bottom of Page 1 to find the Microblog button).

You should find this Microblog has stuff linked to the magazines you subscribe to, this is due to hastags being linked to those magazines, and also included posts from domains you've subscribed too. I'm not actually sure if people you've followed show up here(?)

Better still you can now sort and filter this list, New, Hot, Top / 3h, 6h, 12h, day, week etc.
This is sorting based on boots and upvotes.

In summary you've now got a custom curated feed of fediverse posts, and you can sort this feed by the posts which are most popular.

...I don't think Mastodon let's you sort your feed like this - this is power!

Edit: Fixed the hyperlink to Random

Very exciting start to the Tour De France today. Great seeing the Yates brothers battling it out, and a well earned result for Adam.
