It should be “silico” instead of “syllaco”. It comes from “silicon”, like the dust you mentioned.

The subtle debt rhymed in rhythm on Wednesday.

I love the word helicopter, because unobviously, the root words aren’t heli and copter, but are “helico”, meaning spiral, and “pter”, meaning wing.

I love the word trabajaba (pronounced trah-buh-hah-buh). It means “worked” in Spanish.

I don’t yet, but I can make a user. Let me do that tomorrow, and I’ll reply here again with it.

I wrote Svelte Material UI, so I could definitely help you with UI stuff. Do you have a public repo?

Considering this is a Svelte project, it probably wouldn’t be too hard for me to fork (I’m a Svelte and SvelteKit dev). I’d definitely rewrite the UI, cause the current UI is… unpolished.

How much support could I expect to fork this project? Is there anyone that would be willing to help?

He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.

It was before the Voting Rights Act of 1965, before women could open their own bank accounts, and before no fault divorce was legalized. In other words, white men had almost all of the power, both politically and socially.

People who pine for the fifties are mostly white men, and it just means they are racist and/or sexist. That’s not the only reason, but it’s a big one.

Other than that, they just want things to go back to the way they never were.

Tbh, probably because a lot of their donors are on the list. Also, Bill Clinton. And probably several other Democrats.

Nephele with SERVE_LISTINGS turned on and a read only mount.

It shows listings in the browser, just like Apache, but can also be accessed with a file browser, because it’s a WebDAV server.

Flatpaks are awesome. Flathub is awesome. :)

I’m very proud to be a Californian. I’m utterly embarrassed to be an American.

The driver for your mouse occupies a few kilobytes. The shitty app and AI garbage bloatware occupies the rest.

It’s their machine. It’s a front door.

That’s not a vulnerability. That’s intended and desired behavior. It was really useful in this case too.

I should mention that the WebDAV share is password protected, so only he has access to do that.

Something really fun I found out recently, when my friend lost all access to his system except for a single WebDAV share by accidentally turning off all his remote admin access:

If you write “b” to /proc/sysrq-trigger, it will immediately reboot the system (like holding down the reset button, so inherently a bit dangerous).

He was running Nephele with / mounted as the share, so luckily he just uploaded that file with a single “b” in it, and all his remote admin stuff came back up after the reboot.

This absolutely can happen to stable projects. This has happened with Mastodon many times, and Mastodon has been stable for years.

It also has happened with Nextcloud many times, and again, Nextcloud has been stable for years.

It’s not a stability thing, it’s an automation thing. We as devs can only automate so much. At a certain point, it becomes up to you, as the administrator, to manually change things. Things like infrastructure changes, and database migrations, where the potential downtime if we automate it is something we need to consider.

This is very cool, but also very dangerous. Many projects release versions that need some sort of manual intervention to be updated, and automatically updating to new versions on docker can lead to data loss in those situations.

Here’s a recent example from Immich:

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v1.133.0

It is my humble opinion that teaching newbies to do automatic updates will cause them to lose data and break things, which will probably sour them from ever self hosting again.

Automatic OS updates are fine, and docker update notifications are fine, but automatic docker updates are just too dangerous.

I take it you’ve never even tried Linux before. Both of those things are not things that will hold you back. My mom uses Linux, and she barely knows what “right click” means.

With regard to your Steam games, as long as you don’t play games that use restrictive anticheat, you’ll be fine.
