  • That’s an utterly ignorant statement.

    To expect others, often volunteer, to take such a personal risk because the legislation in one part of the world is utterly fucked. How about expecting the people who actually live in the country and state and have a chance to influence those laws to step up their game instead of trying to tell third parties to take individual and personal consequence.



  • For users yes - for developers, as much as it saddens me, no.

    Ubuntu for example started the discussion about what they need to do to show their the demanded effort was being put into.

    It’s the devs that are put at risk here - and I dare say by design. If this just correlates or is caused by the support from the big OS corporations one can only speculate. My speculation is: at the very least strongly influenced.


  • There is no hard definition within the laws so this is all speculation. This means that there is no technical answer because the question in is core is a legal one.

    Your TV for example can have a browser without problems.

    You can have an integrated board that runs a full Linux without you being able to touch the underlying OS and let that start a browser, too. You know those tv screens that show you traffic into it flight plans at the airport? Those are often full Linux computers set up exactly like that.

    In short: we’ll only know when the law is actually being tested. It’s written in a way that I as layman could talk and software and even most hardware into it’s definition, it’s absolute bullshit…






  • Traefik and caddy were mentioned, the third in the game is usually nginxproxymanager.

    I’m using both traefik and nginx in two different setups. The nginxproxymanager can be configured via UI natively which makes checking configurations a bit easier.

    Traefik on the other hand is configured easily within the compose itself and you have everything in one place.

    This turned out to be tiresome though if you don’t have a monolithic compose file - that’s actually even hr history why I switched to npm in the first place.

    I don’t have any experience with caddy so can’t provide anecdotal insights there.


  • I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don’t have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don’t his is more about structure.

    Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can’t imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.

    Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it’s entertainment so it’s next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I’m sure you’ll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.

    My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.

    I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it’s a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it’s your laptop use your phone, if it’s your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)


  • You don’t! At least not in the sense that I’m aware of the JADE thing:

    JADE is nothing that is a strong work proven topic but came from social media to handle narcissistic people as a peer group.

    Your reactions are hostility and rejection based and how I understand you it’s your nerves that you want to preserve.

    For this in a professional work place there are multiple ways to deal with and even all of them at the same time, just from the top of my head:

    • Always go over your manager, make it his problem. “Dispatcher causes work for me by raising false claims/redundant questions - please resolve with their manager”
    • I’d call it business ghosting: answer and questions raised but but don’t go into any depth. “Correct, phone was not working due to no wifi.”
    • Work on yourself to detach your emotional connection: this is the toughest but also the most valuable one. It’s a fucking dispatcher who has his own problems and no other way to handle them then to try to use his environment as catalyst. My personal route is the framing “poor fucker, needs his routine and world to accept himself”. But also “this seems to be the only way he can feel important in front of himself” would work for me. Usually when I take pity with people I can’t get angry anymore about their behaviors.
    • Figure out what the true impact on your work performance is and handle that separately from the emotional connection. It’s absolutely normal to be annoyed and angry by the behavior you’ve described - detachment of impact and emotion can be a way forward.

    Hope this helps a bit!


  • If I understand you correctly: You want to be able to record one computer with another one on a system level (the BIOS-party that comes before any operating system is loaded).

    Although this is not Linux specific: your best bet is a video capture card as you’ve suggested already. Anything else would depend on your bios supporting remote access which is not exactly the same (my server bios for example can expose a website where I then can configure it from within a browser.

    The problem with video capture is that you’d still have two controls: one for the client and one for the host.

    Depending on what your final result should be it could be actually easier and cheaper to just get a stand for a smartphone and record it from there and then crop it precisely.

    You then have to only worry about light reflecting.





  • This is an ad. At least tuta marked it but that doesn’t make it way better.

    All YouTube “options” are YouTube frontends. All android “alternatives” are android - which isn’t the guides fault as there are none in my opinion. Still unserious from my point of view.

    It’s once more a catch all “guide” that doesn’t guide but simply mentions enough popular alternatives to get popularity.


  • I’m not talking about usability, just about the foundation. Besides what others already said about why it’s not a good idea to answer your specific question regarij moderation tooling is:

    Your requirements are incompatible with decentralization. Every moderation tool will have to use the network itself which means a moderation event has a significant delay in which the content has a “head start”.

    There is no way to have an instant kill switch for content or a centralized gated release of content.

    And at the end everyone can spin up an instance and decide on moderation, after all - and decide on the moderation rules there. This will cause an even bigger delay until the malicious instance is blacklisted by others.



  • They are employed by themselves. They are not employed AS anything else. You have it right just your conclusion is inconsistent.

    It’s for me not about the wording of the last paragraph by the way but about the context and requirements list which makes the impression (to me) of offering an employee/employer relationship which is only broken up in the last line. That’s the part I really don’t like.

    This kind of advertisement would be illegal in Germany btw as it would encourage pseudo self employment: someone self employed who is relying on one client only. (And no, not exaggerated: I’ve a legal department at least pull job description from the tech dept similar to this).
