I’ve always wanted a Voron (https://www.vorondesign.com/). There are plenty of shops selling parts kits, and some selling prebuilts. We’ll see what we makerspace members agree on, if we’re even getting more FFF printers. We share house with a board game club, so there’s a lot of local interest for getting a resin printer. That’ll likely come first in any case

Aight, Prusa’s out. Won’t be choosing them for our community makerspace any longer

Maybe check out https://mirlo.space/ , https://subvert.fm/ and https://resonate.coop/ ? They’re all cooperatives of various sorts, treading a path towards actual economic and social sustainability in music.

Read a good book, chat with coworkers, build solidarity and unionize✨

Title is a bit too hyperbolic, didn’t read the article.

For context: I think offshore wind and small-scale wind on ‘gray areas’ are great, with appropriate measures in place to safeguard animals, insects and people.

Words matter. Please, let’s not diffuse the meaning of murder by implying that inanimate objects or abstract concepts can be killed.

When someone goes to court accused of planning to murder me, I don’t want them to be able to handwave it away by saying ‘I didn’t mean murder in that way, I meant murder as in cancelling them’.

Apologies for the rant, I’ll get on with my day

Sure, I get that. Dams often involve lots of concrete, which emits insane CO2 during production; and dams devastates large areas of nature (or human settlements).

Just felt it weird to state that natural gas is required for a stable renewable power grid, when hydro exists. Wherever hydro is possible, it’s almost certainly better than natural gas in most aspects.

Forgot about hydropower, the OG and also most reliable renewable

This is fuckin wild.

Fascism is rising again like a century ago, and we need to stand against it. A lot of people need to go from ‘not fascist’ to ‘antifascist and organised to resist’ real quick; if we’re to avoid fascism engulfing the world in cruelty and arbitrarity for the next fifty years

Thank you kindly

Google is enshittifying Pixel and Android with noone poised to stop them, so it’s a bet where the odds of a getting a good long-term experience are stacked against you.

Would you consider a different manufacturer with less user-hostile behaviour, like Fairphone or Shift?

Fwiw your old op6 will make a mighty fine server

Never noticed the lyrics, always thought of it as a weird meme. TIL. Also really cool that it’s licensed Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0)

Cool, I haven’t tried either of those.

I’m the type of person who likes to upgrade my systems via the terminal because I like to know the detailed processes, but I’ve also burned myself numerous times; hence my preference for declarative and immutable/atomic solutions.

It’s (quite) a bit more of a hassle, but I’ve lost trust in GUIs.

k3s is fairly simple (as far as k8s distros go). Helm is good to start with but for the long run I recommend using kubernetes manifests directly (i.e. kubectl apply -f pvc.yaml, deployment.yaml, etc) rather than helm, because there are quite a few gotchas with helm which can cause trouble. Besides that, it’s good practice to use the --secrets-encryption flag on the server node(s), and if you’re deploying agent nodes it’s good to use bootstrap tokens (k3s token create)

Working on a split staging/prod hybrid-cloud k3s setup using nixos, tailscale, systemd-nspawn and fluxcd. If someone has advice for running k3s in unprivileged (mounts idmapped) nspawn containers, I’m all👂.

This will run

• (openwisp)[https://openwisp.org/] to make it feasible to provide lots of less tech-savvy people in the local community with secure, simple, privacy-respecting wifi using free software and recycled routers.
• Various libre software I’m helping community, unions and political orgs adopt. Notably Discourse and Peertube.

I asked for something human-readable /s

I’ll give it a go:

• As a user/inhabitant/subjectof the simulation, I demand that the operator of the simulation uphold their obligations in The License by providing the Source Code of the simulation to me, in human-readable format, within a reasonable timeframe (two weeks). The source code may be conveyed via USB stick, CD, clouds in the sky, or other reasonable media.

This will make it more difficult and dangerous to make and publish the apps needed by people who work against oppressive regimes and cynical businesses. Bad megacorp, Google

Denmark did a genocide against the Inuit peoples, according to the UN convention on prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/atrocity-crimes/Doc.1_Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.pdf

Wuhuuu!

Jerboa crashed mid-comment so i’ll be brief.

Save yourself pain and increase your happiness by

• using btrfs or zfs (snapshots, checksum and self-healing is great)
• using declarative approach rather than imperative, and keep a copy of configs elsewhere (I accidentally nuked my system multiple times, you should expect to do the same)
• keeping backups. If zfs, https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid and syncoid are great https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/t/setting-up-syncoid-for-offsite-backup/1611
• have an extra tiny machine running the same system and workloads, where you test potentially risky stuff before doing so on the prod server
• metrics solutions like prometheus and grafana are your friend
