'You can't give her that!' she screamed. 'It's not safe!' IT'S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY'RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE. 'She's a child!' shouted Crumley. IT'S EDUCATIONAL. 'What if she cuts herself?' THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

I'm seriously thinking of getting a usbC-ethernet dongle for my mobile, for when I'm at my desk.

I've recently discovered the documentary "the world at war" and these dull days are now much more interesting! 😁

But she could probably rake in way more money than him, unless he's a big twitch/youtube community. But then he'd have said "I'm a streamer". So he just wanted to be a patronizing douche.

Oh man, I would have imagined being gay accidentally making kids is one less thing to worry about? But if you occasionally dip in clam sauce, get one. You get someone else to jiggle your junk while doing casual conversation 😂

Yes BUT! The drones they are currently using aren't really an air force. If they'd be using Reapers and the like yeah, but BabaYaga is not really an air force. I guess we are a bit splitting the hair though here, we could nitpick forever!

[–] Im_old 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, but it's not in use in Ukraine (like it would work or make any difference lol, pretty much like the Armata tank). Nothing either side is using was developed in 21st century. Late 20th at most.

F-117 (which is still 20th century but more advanced than cold war era stuff they are using now) and F-35 would shred any AA, in my armchair general opinion of course.

There is nothing modern in airforce in Ukraine in either side

I've grown with years of a frozen bread/salami slice/bread sandwich for school break and later work lunch break. In winter it didn't even thaw fully so eating frozen sandwich (I was preparing them in bulk). When told this to my wife she was appaled. Now I have my own (sourdough of course) wholemeal bread, some cured meat, homemade kimchi or sirarcha (or just mayo sometimes). Maybe roasted peppers or something similar if at hand (but it's rare).

Work can be sucky, only way (that I know) is to study something else in your own time to move to a different sector/industry.

The driving instructor you can just dump honestly. Find another driving school

And if you can, what worked for me was moving out from your parents. You'll probably find that having your space (even if it's just a room) with your rythms and everything, it can really make you feel better.

Best of luck!

If brute force doesn't work, you're not doing it enough

I'm looking to do exactly the same!

Hi, I'm in the market for a zigbee dimmer (no neutral). There is a rotary one from Candeo that technically is what I need, but honestly it looks a bit ugly.

Anyone has a "soft button" switch to recommend? By soft button I mean something that:

  • if pressed once (short press) it turns on/off
  • with long press it increase/decrease power

Even better if it's a 2-gang one.
Thanks everyone!

 

Hi, I've set up a prosody server. It works, video calls (with Turn) work, file transfers works. So far so good.

I'd like to install slidge with the whatsapp bridge, but the official slidge documentation is... not great in my opinion.

I've added the priviledge module declaration and the whatsapp bridge information. For what I understand I also need to define a pubsub service, but I can't understand where and with what information.

Can somebody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks!

static website generator (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 months ago by Im_old to c/selfhosted
 

Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.

I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together.

Thanks!

ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option

only_peaceful_mobs = true

in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2

I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol.

Thanks to @[email protected] for the tip!

XMPP and whatsapp bridge (self.selfhosted)
submitted 8 months ago by Im_old to c/selfhosted
 

Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).

My requirements are:

  • e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
  • audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
  • whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.

Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).

So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.

Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

wholemeal sourdough (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago by Im_old to c/lemmybread
 

after a few months of tries this one looks better!

  • 200gr wholemeal stoneground flour
  • 80gr spelt flour
  • 100gr white flour
  • 100gr starter
  • 250ml water (actually a smidge less than that)
  • salt

Folded 5 times every 30 minutes. Let it rest for a 5 hours on the kitchen counter, degassed (well, that's just a fancy word, it just deflated when I poked it lol), then let it rest overnight (12 hours) in the fridge. Cooked in the oven inside dutch oven. Let it cool for 24hours before cutting it.

Taste good, it's not as wet as the previous experiments where I just let it rest overnight in the fridge.

It's "dense", which in a way is good because if the holes were too big the butter/peanut butter would just drip through! But I'd like to have it a just a bit more fluffy I guess. I know the starter is good because when I feed it it grows like crazy (and smells good).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Unless you are in dangerously high winds (like shit-flying-around-winds), when you cut the string on a kite it comes down. Sadly and floppily.

May the uptime be long and the logs without errors (and not just because logging is broken!)
