Yeah that’s the point I was getting at. One of the only times the NRA supported gun control was when the Black Panthers started carrying publicly.

How much you wanna bet certain conservative people start talking about gun control, or imposing restrictions on being armed at protests or something?

That’s actually pretty awesome. They have done and continue to do great work for software freedom. Seems somebody wanted to give them a Christmas present.

Is the code good? Are you prepared to make any potential fork viable and useful in ways that Lemmy isn’t so people have a tangible, non-ideological reason to choose your software over Lemmy? Do you have a long term goal for funding and maintaining a fork?

That said, Piefed is already a thing, and it federates with Lemmy. It’s where I’m commenting from right now. It has a better on boarding process and does a better job surfacing things I care about.

Disarming all the people who “didn’t” shoot up a beach won’t bring those victims back, and it won’t stop motivated extremists from doing it again. The kind of folks who commit atrocities like this just won’t bother participating in the buyback.

I’m curious what kind of indicators might have been present that police or others in the community might have missed; violent rhetoric on social media, a sudden interest in guns by somebody who previously wasn’t into them, etc.

I’m never quite sure how to feel about this. On one hand, if the person just wants to make some money and they’re doing the job, why bother them. On the other hand though, I know that anybody who has consistent access to an internet connection in North Korea is almost certainly working for the benefit of the great leader and they aren’t actually seeing any money or benefit for themselves. I just hate that the citizens of North Korea have to suffer and be punished because of their asswipe of a leader.

It’s antisemitic? I haven’t finished it yet, or maybe I’m just dense, but how is it antisemitic? And isn’t Sirona trans? And I’ve met at least one openly gay married couple in game too.

I don’t want to be defensive of something bad or to demean your opinion, I just want to understand this point of view since you aren’t the first person I’ve seen express it.

Systemd has all sorts of options. If a service has certain sandbox settings applied such as private /tmp, private /proc, restricting access to certain folders or devices, restricting available system calls or whatever, then systemd creates a chroot in /proc/PID for that process with all your settings applied and the process runs inside that chroot.

I’ve found it a little easier than managing a full blown container or VM, at least for the things I host for myself.

If a piece of software provides its own service file that isn’t as restricted as you’d like, you can use systemctl edit to add additional options of your choosing to a “drop-in” file that gets loaded and applied at runtime so you don’t have to worry about a package update overwriting any changes you make.

And you can even get ideas for settings to apply to a service to increase security with:

systemd-analyze security SERVICENAME

I just host everything on bare metal and use systemd to lock down/containerize things as necessary, even adding my own custom drop-ins for software that ships its own systemd service file. SystemD is way more powerful than people often realize.

When they first conceptualized the bomb some scientists weren’t even sure the explosion would stop at all, or if it might create an unstoppable chain reaction that would just continue infinitely and consume the whole earth.

I’ve had very occasional issues with it not uploading new photos in a timely manner in the past. I haven’t had any issues in a long time, but I have gotten into the habit of explicitly opening the app, clicking “Uploads” and hitting refresh and making sure everything has been uploaded.

I’m not really sure what causes it, though if I had to guess Android is putting the app to sleep in the background so it may have something to do with power saving settings. I’ve switched to the F-Droid version of the app and manually disabled the appropriate power settings as a just-in-case, though that may have nothing to do with anything.

That’ll still end up cheaper than room and board, clothing, medical care, food, lawyers, etc. for the next several decades.

dpkg-deb --build
Makes it super simple to create one. You just lay out a folder with the contents you want to be installed. Just make sure it has a DEBIAN/control sub folder/file because that control file is where you can specify dependencies, package version, name, etc.

I literally have clothes hanging on a line across the living room because our just out of warranty $1,000+ Samsung “smart dryer” died again a month after I replaced every sensor and the heating element, and I just don’t feel like taking it apart again to “maybe” find the problem.

Before this we just had a plain white box from Maytag; easy to work on, cheap replacement parts. It was probably 30 years old when the motor seized and my wife asked for newer, fancier machines. Big mistake.

Steam Big Picture mode (like what the Steam Deck defaults to) makes PC couch gaming super easy. I haven’t played anything with or needed a mouse and keyboard in ages.

I had been a PlayStation gamer since PS1 and the PS4 killed it for me. I had bought a lot of digital games during the PS3 era; I was all in on PlayStation. I even bought digital copies of PS1 games I had the discs for to save wear and tear on my discs. I bought the official USB memory card adapter that let you plug your PS1 and PS2 memory cards in and import your save data.

I bought the PS4 and none of it carried forward, not even PS1. I kept it for a bit and played some CoD and Fallout 4 , but eventually sold it and migrated to PC.

I use AdGuard Home on a home server to block all social media for my kids for this very reason.
