I’m currently reading my grandma’s memoirs. I’d really like to see them published, there are some really dramatic stories in there.

But I think it’s too much work for my aunts. They don’t want to publish them as they are without censoring names.

Gwenview when it’s really small.

I had it running on my Vega 64. But it had to be exactly one specific version of ROCm. Been a while since I’ve played around with that so I don’t remember the specifics.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus

I switched to rspamd. Its bayesian filter is a little weird. It only started working ok after I found the right amount of mails to feed to it. For some reason it forgot everything if I gave it too many mails. I think it’s a Redis thing. No idea. I don’t have the brain power to figure it out or write a proper bug report. But I think my Debian version is outdated anyways, so this might be fixed by now.

For my server learning from mails from the last 50 days was the sweet spot. Since then I got no false positives and only the occasional false negative. Exactly how I want my spam filter to be.

The whole drive. The docker file and volumes are the bare minimum.

In general you backup everything that cannot be recreated through external services. So that would be the configuration files and all volumes you added. Maybe logfiles as well.

If databases are involved they usually offer some method of dumping all data to some kind of text file. Usually relying on their binary data is not recommended.

Borg is a great tool to manage backups. It only backs up changed data and you can instruct it to only keep weekly, monthly, yearly data, so you can go back later.

Of course, just flat out backing up everything is good to be able to quickly get back to a working system without any thought. And it guarantees that you don’t forget anything.

I wouldn’t know how to figure it out either and I’ve been on Linux for decades. I’d just google “linux brightness cli” and click on the Arch wiki link. That’s mostly because my brightness keys have always worked out of the box.

Try to see it the other way around. If you didn’t even know that a device manager existed on Windows (which is feasible nowadays since it’s been buried deeper and deeper with every new Windows version) you would search and read and search some more and probably eventually end up at the device manager. Do it enough times with other issues and you start to see patterns.

This will be fun with daylight savings.

Huh? But I can understand it.

This one might be it. No idea, it was so long ago. https://media.ccc.de/v/066_Bluetooth_Hacking

Reminds me of the good old times at the same conference a few years back when the Bluetooth panel ended with everyone in the hall involuntarily having a new screensaver on their phone.

Hope our current car holds out long enough for those buttoned cars to arrive in the used car market.

Probably easier to show how bad thing is if everything else is still kind of ok.

Maybe our cat could get a little more respect in the neighbourhood if she wore that.

The trouble with pictrs is that it sorts pictures into seemingly random folders.

The solution is to not proxy images. Might even be the default by now. That’s a huge resource hog. No idea what pictrs is doing but it’s still taking up a whole lotta space just for my own images.

Canceling all subscriptions would probably make Lemmy use almost no resources.

I run a single user instance and it’s horribly slow. Mostly because I only have HDDs and not enough RAM to compensate. I hope Lemmy 1.0 will increase database performance.

Piefed is supposedly much more performant. But I’m shying away from migrating because I don’t want to lose my post history and uploaded pictures.

Can’t wait to see France and Germany justify that one.
