Knivdåd i Hässelby med högerextrema kopplingar. En 14-årig pojke har omhändertagits som misstänkt för flera knivattacker på äldre personer i Hässelby, Stockholm. Han är misstänkt för ett mordförsök på en man i 80-årsåldern i Hässelby. Troligen är han också misstänkt ett annat mordförsök på en kvinna i 50-årsåldern i samma område.

How to save data for archive purposes?


reshared this

in reply to 8263ksbr

Someone else has mentioned M-Disc and I want to second that. The benefit of using a storage format like this is that the actual storage media is designed to last a long time, and it is separate from the drive mechanism. This is a very important feature - the data is safe from mechanical, electrical and electronic failure because the storage is independent of the drive. If your drive dies, you can replace it with no risk to the data. Every serious form of archival data storage is the same - the storage media is separate from the reading device.

An M-Disc drive is required to write data, but any DVD or BD drive can read the data. It should be possible to acquire a replacement DVD drive to recover the data from secondary markets (eBay) for a very long time if necessary, even after they're no longer manufactured.

How to login to Davx5 with certificate?


This may be more of an Android issue than self-hosting, but i run Radicale on my personal server to host caldav/carddav services. I want to login with uname&pword with a certificate. I found this video in Davx5 github page showing that a user can select the cert:

video

I generated a self-signed cert from my server and installed that to my Android phone via Settings > Security&Privacy > Encryption&Credentials. But i dont get the same as the video. It keeps telling me No certificate found

Image/photo

Clicking the install button and selecting my cert will say

Install CA certificates in Settings
This certificate from null must be installed in Settings. Only install CA certificates from organizations you trust.

best alternative to windows file explorer?


probably a long shot but are there any lightweight alternatives to windows file explorer for 2024?

i'm stuck on windows for now until the time comes to grab a new laptop. so sick of the default one in windows 11 though.



Lubuntu+LXQT thoughts?


Anyone tried Lubuntu with LXQT desktop lately? Especially for Linux gaming using Steam/Proton/Bottles, etc?


Can I do this in hyprland? In sway? In any other WM?


I want to have my screen (the "dev" workspace) split in three "zones":

  • on the left side, a tabbed group with all the text editors I start (ie. if I start a new one, it goes there in a new tab)
  • on the top-right, a tabbed group of whatever many terminal I feel like launching
  • on the bottom-right, my browsers (and possibly other stuff), in a group without tabs
  • a key combination to cycle between: all three "zones" visible, text editors on the left - terminal on the right, text editors on the left - browser on the right, fullscreen browser

So far I've been looking at hyprland (for no particular reason except the hype) and I don't think I can do the above with it (I am by no means an expert, so... maybe it can actually be done?).

Do you know of any WM where it would be possible? (possibly, one with automatic splitting a-la bspwm, that I would use for the other workspaces)

You can use any modular tiling manager for this. Only the tiling layout generator (this one is for river) matters here.

Analysis: Nuclear war would be more devastating for Earth’s climate than cold war predictions


in reply to trevor

The same way the US would end the world if Russia started building bases in Mexico. In fact, this exact scenario already happened during the Cuban missile crisis. Anybody who keeps peddling the notion that Russia should just accept NATO encroachment is deeply intellectually dishonest.

It's obvious to everyone with even a minimally functioning brain that Russia isn't just going to pack up and go home after nearly three years of war. Especially given that Russia is very obviously winning the war at this point. NATO has a choice to accept reality that they lost or to start a nuclear holocaust. It's pretty clear that there are plenty of imbeciles living in NATO countries who would prefer the latter.

Meanwhile, this whole narrative of appeasement is the height of bullshit. Everybody appeased the US and NATO when they invaded Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, and countless other countries. The US currently occupies a larger percentage of Syria than Russia is of Ukraine. The appeasement just means that NATO has to accept that another country is doing what NATO does regularly.

Your logic is evading me. Russia is just doing a new three year war with whatever they want next and then again and again since it's working. I'm not in favor of nuclear war but if it ends my miserable life I'm all in.


New phone, new OS? Lineage/microG or Iodé?


On my new phone I'm tempted to switch from LineageOS for microG to IodéOS, just for the ease of a dedicated installer. What are your experiences of pros and cons?

Bonus question, while I prefer full control of my phone, Iodé lists "uninstallable apps" as a feature(?) — what in the world are those?

If only either of the government cared about the people.

A megalomaniac using his population as cannon fodder Vs a military industrial complex that could care less if people die for its interest.

Not if enough of Russia get exploded first, also killed Putin don't require nuking them, nuking them would be a good idea tho



Pi-Hole question / Blocked Queries being reset each day?


Hi there, I've just done the switch from NextDNS to PiHole. Simply because I want to test it out + self-host my DNS. I set up PiHole+Unbound two days ago, and yesterday the amount of "Queries blocked" was much higher that it is now. But this morning the number was down back to 100ish. Is this normal behaviour, is it supposed to reset the counter? I'd rather it didn't. Let me know if this is my fault or a setting I've managed to miss.

Thank you.
