You like deploying infrastructure, probably in a cloud environment, but you don’t want to push a bunch of buttons in their web interface, so you use Terraform to declaratively define the things you want, and it goes and builds them for you. Super useful for when you need to build resources often, to detect and correct config drift, and get started down the path of Infrastructure as Code.

I think the Kindle Scribe has a lit screen, if e-ink is what you’re after.

I love my ReMarkable 2! I use it everyday for handwritten notes and for e-reading. It doesn’t support the major stores, but it loads epubs just fine. I’m also self-hosting rmfakecloud cause I’m that kind of nerd. You mentioned night use, so definitely be aware it does not have any lighting built in.

I’ve got a 1972 VW Super Beetle that I’ll never get rid of. It’s not really a desirable version or year of the Beetle, but my dad, grandpa, and I restored it when I was 9. My grandpa died in 2020 and he worked on cars his whole life. It’s cool to have a physical thing that he made possible using a lifetime of skills. Plus, my kid is getting old enough to work on it with me, and I think it’s awesome to have 4 generations of my family wrenching on it.

The US military spends 2 trillion a year. I’d much rather see those resources go into rescue operations than the opposite. Poor people in a boat should absolutely get access to the same resources, and the crime here is not that billionaires did, but that the migrants didn’t.

Conservatives don’t seem to have trouble with boob jobs, etc. I think this is an instance of using religion as an excuse when it’s convenient.

Just checked my own Lemmy postgres database, it’s a 12 round Bcrypt 2b hash.

On one hand, this is super cool, but on the other, it gives orcas and robots the chance to team up, and I’m not here for that.

You’re in OK?! I just moved from OK to CO last summer. Hope your family and lab gear are doing okay after the storms.

The real gold was the friends we made along the way.

If anyone else has made it this far and are thinking “ah balls, I’m using ingress-nginx”, here’s the ingress annotation for you!

nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
            if ($http_accept = "application/activity+json") {
              set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
            }
            if ($http_accept = "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"") {
              set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
            }
            if ($request_method = POST) {
              set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
            }

Here’s a cronjob to clean up the useless activity table every day:

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: postgresql-cleanup
  namespace: lemmy
spec:
  schedule: "0 0 * * *"
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: postgres-cleanup
            image: postgres:alpine
            command: ["psql", "--host=postgresql", "--dbname=postgres", "--username=postgres", "--command=DELETE FROM activity WHERE published < NOW() - INTERVAL '1 day';"]
            env:
            - name: PGPASSWORD
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: postgresql
                  key: postgres-password
          backoffLimit: 0
          ttlSecondsAfterFinished: 3600

You did a Kubernete! Congrats!

Edit to add: one Kubernetes instance talking to another!

And then you’ll need to convince every instance admin to swap to this fork.

It uses Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite technology to communicate, though it is unclear if it was the cause of the loss of contact.

Surely this is the surface vessel and not the sub. Starlink communications are around 11 GHz, which can only propagate a couple meters in salt water.

The BBC live stream said “one pilot and four mission operators” about 15 min ago.

I think the question about “being on Beehaw” is because you’ve been commenting on a post in a Beehaw community.

This update, specifically how funding is happening, helped me understand some of the reasoning behind the narrow focus of the Lemmy developers. I appreciate them foregoing their regular paychecks to work on stability. Hopefully things settle down soon to the point that the extra eyes and hands on the project are more helpful than they are distracting.

There’s no function in lemmy to track reasons in the admin interface, it’s a text box where you pass in a list of blocked instances. The Beehaw admins may maintain a list separately.
