“Everything will be fine with Steiner’s attack Farage’s government”

The main concern with old hardware is probably powerdraw/efficiency, depending on how old your PC is, it might not be the best choice. But remember: companies are getting rid of old hardware fairly quickly, they can be a good choice and might be available for dirt cheap or even free.

I recently replaced my old Synology NAS from 2011 with an old Dell Optiplex 3050 workstation that companies threw away. The system draws almost twice the power (25W) compared to my old synology NAS (which only drew 13W, both with 2 spinning drives), but increase in processing power and flexibility using TrueNAS is very noticable, it allowed me to also replace an old raspberry pi (6W) that only ran pihole.

So overall, my new home-server is close in power draw to the two devices it replaced, but with an immense increase in performance.

Would you be interested in contributing a short guide on the setup?

I am not confident enough in my knowledge of TrueNAS apps myself to judge if my setup process is how you’re supposed to do custom apps, tbh, so i’d rather not try to contribute a guide that could potentially have other users run into trouble 😅

still, they will try and park their car in there:

I bookmarked this post a few days ago, but only just had the time to set it up today. Installing it as a custom app on TrueNAS was very easy, if only I had known it would just be a 3 minute job :D

I am running TrueNAS as well, and I keep snapshots for about a week. When I set up snapshots, I noticed the same issue as you: On a Linux client there seems to be no convenient way to browse these snapshots using the file manager (like “previous versions” on windows), and the only way I was able to browse snapshots was using ssh into the TrueNAS system.

While inconvenient, I figured that’s good enough for me, I don’t really tend to accidentally delete files off my system and on the rare occasion that I do, I can just use the command line. So far, I didn’t have the need to access an earlier snapshot.

But having a convenient way to browse the snapshots using a webUI is great, Thank you for creating this application, so far it works great as a custom application on TrueNAS, I was able to successfully browse and download files from previous snapshots :)

Some things that can be useful, although I don’t know how easily they can be implemented:

• When viewing a snapshot, highlight files (and possibly folders) that differ from the current state (deleted files in red, modified files in yellow, for example)
• Downloading entire folders, that would probably require timeship to zip them up beforehand, though.

I mean, that’s how I read it, too. It’s going to be the default for any urban area, cities of millions, towns of dozens.
But that doesn’t stop rural towns from increasing the speed limit by posting a 50kph sign, either where it is reasonable, or overall. When you enter any town/city-limits by car, you need to slow down to 30kph, unless there is a speed sign allowing for higher or lower speeds.
This is literally all a town needs to say “the 30kph limit is nice, but we don’t want that”:

I am so fucking fed up with every right wing numbnut calling it a combustion engine ban. It does not ban combustion engines.

All manufacturers need to do, is make their combustion engines clean, then they can continue selling them 2035 and beyond. But it’s obvious, they are incapable of doing so, combustion engines have been pretty stagnant, almost as if they have reached their limits…

Back when Randall Munroe released his “What if” in eBook format, it essentially was only available with DRM.
When I emailed him about it, asking for a place to buy it without DRM, he responded with DRM unfortunately being mandated by his publisher, and finished his email with a link to this comic of his:

I bought a kindle when amazon sold them for a special price of 25 Euro. It’s a cool device for reading books, but I found their UI horrendously cluttered and filled with “suggestions” instead of focusing on the content I already have. I have since jailbroken the device and am using koreader on the device to read my ebooks transfered as epubs via calibre.

That has the advantage that when I buy DRM-free books in epub format, I am not relying on amazon to properly convert the file to a kindle proprietary format.

There was a “what if” episode, that went into exactly this. It starts off with large magnitudes, then explores the tiny ones. https://youtu.be/e3uk7jU3RHo

My workflow is:
-Musicbrainz Picard to get all the information from an online database
-clean up the tags with kid3 (Linux), rename files and folders
-use mp3gain to “normalize” all songs to the same level, so I don’t have to constantly adjust the volume.

it might still come to consider it, don’t give up hope, yet.

So that’s how many members already? -4- 5?

-Spain
-Ireland
-Slovenia
-Netherlands
-Iceland

Hope there will be more.

personally i read “Down and Out in the magic Kingdom” as well as the german translation “Backup”, which - while not masterpieces - were quite enjoyable.

I don’t remember how much point is the maximum before you lose your driving licence in Germany?

8 points and you lose your license. You can then get it back after a minimum of 6 months.

Do note, that points drop after a set time, depending on

• 1 point = dropped after 2.5 years
• 2 points = dropped after 5 years
• 3 points = dropped after 10 years

ERP software is always “lock in”, simply because it is unfeasable for companies to keep switching from one ERP software to another. Doing so would mean having to rework every workflow within the company, changing the software programing to be as least intrusive/different as possible.

I know from working daily with SAP’s nextmost competitor, and being usersupport within the company.

Microsoft is (…) vowing to fight the US government in court to protect Euro customers’ data if needed.

utterly worthless vow, if a corrupt US court then rules that protection doesn’t apply, MS is gonna shrug and say “oh well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Gotta follow the law here”

feddit.au would not make sense, last time I checked Australia is not a german speaking countr. lemmy.de was one of the proposed new domains, iirc, but the users eventually chose feddit.org specifically because we did want to make it a clear successor to feddit.de, but we didn’t want to tie it to a country specific tld like .de, .at, or ch to indicate that none of the german speaking countries is “more important” or “prioritized” over the other.
