I do wonder what would happen if instances continue to fragment. Will we end up with islands of instances, separated from each other by exclude lists? It sort of says something about humanity if that happens.

I assume you left Reddit for Lemmy for a reason and the beauty of Lemmy (and any federated platform) is that it’s not under the control of a single entity. If you don’t like what’s happening in one instance, you can pick up and go to another instance much easier than it was to switch from Reddit to Lemmy.

I’d love to find a cooking community, specifically for healthy and/or vegan recipes and techniques.

edit: I actually mean plant based, not vegan.

I think this is exactly what I’m looking to do. Thanks for such a detailed writeup!

I did some reading last night and think it lines up with what you’re saying. I found docker-mailserver with some configuration. The only thing I need to add is mail filtering to folders and I think that’s included.

I’d like to hide behind the service that I’m paying for without incurring extra fees for retaining it all. I can figure out the pull side by using fetchmail or something to a server that hosts dovecot, but the sending side is confusing since I’d need something that can receive my email and send it via the service. It’s only 1 email address, so I’m not looking for a mail relay, but something like a full caching mail proxy.

I started watching the video. I was not aware that LetsEncrypt supported wildcard certificates. Does this mean that your internal network uses the same domain name as your externally-hosted services?

I tried step-ca to start with, but my primary use case was for certs in the cluster, which cert-manager is more suited for natively. Maybe step-ca has improved, I was using it in the early days. My goal isn’t a short lived cert as much as it is to have an easy configuration and to learn.

I think it may support it, but it’s not well documented. I’ll need to read up a bit. I started with helm charts but like how operators, um operate. They upgrade on their own and are very stable. Honestly, though, it was mostly because I wanted to learn how they work.

I think this is what I’m going to do.

Yes, monthly is too fast. I’m using a K8s operator for cert-manager which defaults to a month. I think I can patch the CSV with an annotation that will bump that out, but when the operator updates the CSV then I need to repatch it.

I was polling the community to see if there’s something that is easy to use but I was not able to find in my searches. It seems like a common problem.

Part of my problem is that I chose to use a K8s operator for cert-manager which isn’t easy to configure. Had I used a helm chart, i’d have bumped the root cert to 10 years and forgotten about it.

That duck is looking pretty tasty right about now.

I was behind two cars on the freeway, one in lane 1 and one in lane 3. They both decided to merge into the center lane at the same time. I remember the sound distinctly because it was so different than I expected. It sounded like two large, empty cardboard boxes hitting each other. No screeching tires or glass breaking sound (both windshields and side windows broke, but remained intact). It was very unexciting.

I’m using tailscale (which I hear is just a wrapper for wireguard) and love it.

Restic and Borg seem to be the current favorites, but I really like the power and flexibility of Duplicity. I like that I can push to a wide variety of back ends (I’m using the rsync), it can do synchronous or asynchronous encryptions and I like that it can do incremental with timed full backups. I don’t like that it keeps a local cache of index files.

I back up to a Pi 0 with a big local disk and rsync the whole disk to another Pi at a relative’s house over tailscale. I’ve never needed the remote, but it’s there.

I’ve had to do a single directory restore once and it was pretty easy. I was able to restore to a new directory and move only the files that I clobbered.

Shouldn’t that be “photodivergent”?

I learned recently that not everyone can see the fluorescent flicker. It’s unnerving and feels a bit like being buzzed on caffeine. It’s not so bad in the offices with indirect lighting. Also, cheap LED lights can flicker. I clung to my incandescent lights until they all burnt out.

You’re probably correct. I guess I only do this with right click, copy of URLs.

Old timer here! As many others replying to you indicate, Ctrl+C means SIGINT (interrupt running program). Many have offered the Ctrl+Shift+C, but back in my day, we used Shift+Insert (paste) and Ctrl+Insert (copy). They still work today, but Linux has 2 clipboard buffers and Shift+Insert works against the primary.

As an aside, on Wayland, you can use wl-paste and wl-copy in your commands, so git clone "$(wl-paste)" will clone whatever repo you copied to your clipboard. I use this one all the time

I worked at a large corporate campus with water ponds and fountains all over, but in the spring, the geese would do all the stuff on the card. They hired a guy with two German Shepherds who would stroll around and let his dogs do what dogs do and there were no geese after a short while. I wanted his job. Also, the dogs looked about as happy as dogs can be.
