Stängningen av Pusher Street. Köpenhamn hade länge sen slags semilegal narkotikamarknad i form av Pusher Street i fristaden Christiania. Med tiden kom kontrollen över försäljningen på Pusher Street att hamna i händerna på Hells Angels MC även om inte alla försäljare tillhörde organisationen. Med tiden ledde det också till våld och gängkonflikter i Christiania mellan olika kriminella gäng.

Which distro?
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/19744473
I'm going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)I would say I'm an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.
I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.
I think that i may end up with arch... is it better for gaming since it's bleeding edge and isn't steamos built off it?
Side question is distro chooser accurate?
EndeavourOS has been my daily driver for over a year now has been mostly completely smooth. I went from Windows to Linux with no Linux knowledge beforehand.
I've had some issues pop up, but thanks to Arch's very detailed documentation, I've been able to fix them myself or find answers online. Most recently and update yesterday broke yay (AUR package manger) for me, so I searched the error code that popped up in the terminal and found a discussion at the EndeavourOS forum (great resource) where a fix/workaround was posted. A couple of terminal commands later and yay was reinstalled and working again.
That's been my experience with any problems that have come up. Very manageable.

As someone who spends more money than I should on music from Bandcamp, I'm interested to see if they ever get payments working. I remember people talking about a federated BC alternative, where the 10% platform fee goes to the instance you're on, when they got bought by that music licensing company.
Also, first paragraph under "Integrating with the Fediverse", you put Bandcamp when I think you meant Bandwagon.

Historically speaking, the act of financially supporting creatives on the Fediverse has always been something of a pain point. The network lacks a meaningful payment layer, and most of the network’s iSean Tilley (We Distribute)
Probably because, to my knowledge:
- I didn't know that Mitra did that.
- Even though it does have that functionality, I have no idea whether it would work with the rest of the network.
- This article was about sub.club
I'm not trying to slight Mitra in any way, shape, or form, but my focus for this article was scoped to one thing in particular.

In another article @deadsuperhero talked about nomadic identity and Mike Macgirvin's efforts to implement it in ActivityPub, but similarly failed to mention another project that implements it (Mitra) and the person who wrote the spec (me).
At least my work was mentioned in a footnote. In the current article it is completely ignored.
Dude, listen. I am one person running a volunteer news project for free. I try my best to stay on top of researching the space, but there's no reasonable way for me to catch everything. I've written 200+ articles at this point, but due to a combination of factors, I struggle to get more than one article out per week at times. I regularly juggle a backlog of 40+ drafts at any given moment. Add a dash of burnout and fatigue, and you'll start to get a clearer picture: it's hard to keep up, and only getting harder.
There's no way for me to reasonably catch everything. Mitra's a cool project and all, but it's tiny enough that I've heard relatively little about it. There are dozens of projects out there at this point, and new ones everyday. If you're not advertising the thing you're building and what it does, there's a high chance I might miss it.
I keep an eye on the FEP developments from time to time, and I applaud all you've accomplished with that. However, the existence of a spec does not necessarily mean that platforms out there are necessarily implementing each and every one of them.
@fediverse FEP-ef61 is what Mike was implementing and rolled out in production this summer. It's not like we didn't advertise that. All work on this FEP (and ones that precede it) was done in public channels, it's really hard to miss if you're interested in nomadic identity.
Give @weekinfediverse a follow. It provides a concise summary of what is happening in Fediverse
Most efforts haven't moved beyond the planning stages. Just because you can point to a plugin or a FEP spec doesn't mean that it's an ongoing active effort for bring a payment layer to the Fediverse, with a consumer-facing tool or platform. I'm sorry if I didn't catch that Mitra had some of that functionality, but I would also push back and say that the average person is not going to use Monero for payments on the Web anytime soon.
Those PeerTube plugins are nice, and the Premium Users one was actually something I pointed @quillmatiq@mastodon.social to for sub.club, as an example of prior art. They're interesting experiments, possibly useful integrations, but not in and of themselves actual platforms to build infrastructure and solutions on.
@fediverse Protocols described in these FEPs are currency-agnostic and developers can build actual platforms and solutions on them (as I did). This is the only ongoing effort to bring a payment layer to the Fediverse - there are no alternative proposals. FEP-8c3f was withdrawn in favor of FEP-0ea0.
Okay, you didn't know about it. But now you do and it would be nice to include at least some of that information in the article.

A lot of people use Mastodon as an RSS feed where they can leave comments. This would basically allow you to subscribe to the content of a writer, and get it full-form straight in your feed.
I could also imagine following artists on Pixelfed, throwing money in their tip jar to keep posted on their newest creations.
I think there's a lot of potential here. But monetisation is always tricky on the internet, of course.

Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)
Huh, didn’t even know my country had a sovereign tech fund. Looking more into it … yeah. It gets money from the federal government but it is in no way run or even associated with it. Looks like a GmbH is behind it, which is a for profit company in Germany. It has a volume of 17 million €.
Also its name is literally sovereign tech fund, even in German, I.e. that’s not a translation, that’s its literal name. I wouldn’t say it’s sketchy, the people behind it definitely look legit, but it certainly doesn’t quite meet the lofty associations the name suggests.

Isn't it the job of the WM to position windows and stuff?
Apps have to do it themself now?
Now, maybe QT did things more in depth behind the scene, I don't know.
But for a tiling window manager like w3m, I don't see the application having a say in position and location.
Hence I didn't think that the app has so much to do with creating windows. Just my thought.

in reply to fool • • •I was trying to write a custom Strategy for an objectMapper in Java. Foolishly decided to ask ChatGPT about it and got instructions which suggested an implementation that was the inverse of how Strategies actually work. Stuck for an afternoon.
Then in the evening I read the docs and put it together in half an hour from scratch. Lesson learned about the stochastic parrots.

Makes me wonder. Every laziness I've had with the vector guessers, I've seen an exact counterweight.
man 3 getifaddrs.One, you can invoke more often (throw ChatGPT configs against the wall until it doesn't error); the other you can invoke more deeply. So I can't help but wonder -- when we cancel out all the terms -- if the timesaving sum is positive or negative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So even if I have a blue-build process for example in secureblue removing Firefox, it is just removed on my side, locally. Thats why I cant reinstall it.
Instead of learning about all the Flatpak packaging conventions, I just translated the docs!

My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.
The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.
In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: "Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu".
FFS 🤦♂️
The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.
Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?
