Oh that carpet is going to be definitively dirtier afterwards lol.

Where I'm from it was publicised by men saying "look how much I care about you that I remembered you exist today". So it started out as a token virtue signal, then luckily evolved in something nicer. So yeah, we have different experiences around this it seems (and I'm sorry your's shitty one).

I'm truly sorry you are not in an healthy environment. For next year consider writing "women's day" with a nailgun on a misogynist's car door 😁. With a big heart too!

I'm with you. It was amazing at the time, but as you said it was a product of the time. Some things I watched when I was a kid now I'm a bit wary of letting my kids watch now!

Tbf, on women's day men are expected to say "happy women's day" and maybe bring flowers. It's usually also more talked about in the news (at least mentioned).

I'm absolutely aware of the privilege disparities between men and women. I don't care about men's day. But it's quite an objective reality that men's day is less publicized and known. I think it is a bit of gimmick made up by butthurt incels/fragile masculinity anyway. Men's mental health issues are real but one day is not the way to fix them. But the point about it being known and discussed still stands I think.

You could always dual boot on Linux 😁

You could try with homebrew to install some software, but the apple ID I'm afraid is a requirement. Use company email with company phone number.

[–] Im_old 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, use a company phone

Also Normans were descendants of viking settlers. So French didn't technically fund England either (yes, I'm being pedantic for the sake of the joke).

It may be that she doesn't need an afternoon nap every day anymore. I know it sucks because you were used to have some peace, but they grow up and it was bound to happen. Honestly if she doesn't look tired don't even try. If you make her sleep even if she doesn't need it she'll start pushing back (welcome to "terrible two" age). She'll start hating going to bed even in the evening. When mines started growing at a certain point they were having a nap only on the weekends.

I'd advise against "let's try and see if you need one today without pushing too hard" because she WILL learn that if she just doesn't you'll not push back. You need to judge if she needs one (looks sleepy/extra cranky) and you have to put her to bed (and be firm) or not even try.

It might be that on days she doesn't have a nap she'll need to go to bed a little earlier (like half an hour earlier).

But I strongly suggest you don't make the "you need to sleep" routine a fight or they'll make it hell for you.

 

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 1 month 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 7 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 8 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.

Edit: spelling

Self hosting minecraft (self.minecraft)
submitted 1 year ago by Im_old to c/minecraft
 

Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).

I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA
