And also remember to look up the list of accepted photo ids and get yourself set up with at least one that you can take with you to the polling station. https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need

I considered trying that then read about some kernel versions not being compatible with certain versions of the dkms package so decided to give up, go to bed and deal with the issue later. (This was Saturday night and sadly time hasn’t permitted me to start investigating again yet)

I have the same issue on my desktop. I’d assumed it was something I’d done (it usually is) but I had to admit defeat and resort to switching to booting into a backup OS so that I could get on with all the tasks I need to get done but I’m assuming it was a problem with the Nvidia-dkms package that’ll be resolved in time as people have reported similar issues in the past.

I’m more interested in matrix having worked with meta to actually bridge from a matrix home server to WhatsApp. Thanks to the EU’s DMA WhatsApp were required to do something.

Element has been working with Meta since the end of last year to help test their DMA interoperability (given we’re probably the world leader in interoperable end-to-end-encrypted communication) - and Matrix announced last month at FOSDEM that Element has successfully integrated 1:1 chats between Matrix and WhatsApp via the DMA APIs, while maintaining end-to-end encryption (having implemented full Signal compatibility in vodozemac). We’ve also formally requested interoperability with WhatsApp, as of yesterday. https://element.io/blog/the-eu-digital-markets-act-is-here/ (That full post is quite a long read and some of the technical bits went way over my head as I’m more focussed on dev-ops than the inner workings of the protocol)

As for how it will look, further down that same post there is the following:

The biggest concern right now is around “reachability”: whether DMA interoperability will default to off or on for EU citizens - and so whether users on Element would even be able to contact users on WhatsApp without the WhatsApp user having to explicitly opt in in advance. According to the public information available at WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps | WIRED on Feb 6th: “WhatsApp users who opt in will see messages from other apps in a separate section at the top of their inbox.”. We all know the power of defaults, especially when applied to competition law, and we’re interested to see what the final user experience is.

So sadly it looks as though you may be able to contact people if they’ve opted in for cross platform messaging, but they’ll need to look somewhere else for your messages.

I currently use matrix and have bridges for discord, WhatsApp, RCS, Google messages and possibly a couple of others running so that I can just chat to whoever I want from one place and not care which platform they’re using.

I vaguely remembered a quote about him saying he was impressed with Saddam Hussein’s indefatigably.

After going to look it up just there to confirm it was him that said it I saw more of the context around it:

Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability, and I want you to know that we are with you, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-nasr, hatta al-Quds until victory, until victory, until Jerusalem. (https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Galloway)

So whilst I agree that he’s out for himself and not someone that I particularly care for, he does seem to have had an interest in that part of the world for the last 30 years or so. This isn’t quite the out of the blue political opportunism that some people seem to be suggesting it is.

I believe ofcom almost agree too…

“No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience.” (Source: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/news-centre/2023/ofcoms-rules-on-politicians-on-tv-and-radio) But what we see here is these programmes being billed not as news, but as talk shows or current events programmes which allows them to sidestep this. An example of an article which lists a series of complaints being investigated by ofcom as of September 2023: https://www.thenational.scot/news/23799032.full-list-gb-news-shows-investigation-ofcom/ Note:This is from The National, an outlet which is very anti-Tory and I’m sure subject to a few impartiality complaints itself!

That’s the one. The 30p Lee that presents on GB News.

That’s interesting, because I was finding guides for traefik and caddy but not nginx (specifically swag in my case)

The issue I was having, in case it helps you, is that I was trying to expose 8448 on my synapse container which doesn’t have SSL instead of on my SWAG container and then redirect to my synapse one.

I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks it’s acceptable to tell people to “fuck off to France” when they voice their displeasure at being loaded into a floating barge containing Legionella can go and do one as far as I’m concerned.

If you can’t show any kind of empathy for fellow humans who are potentially fleeing for their lives then you are not deserving of any respect.

I personally use gitea but there is also a community version of gitlab that has way more power than I need.

Gitea can import a repo from GitHub but I don’t know whether it can also push updates out as one never tried to do that.

I picked gitea as I didn’t need all of the extra power of gitlab and they were the first two options I found. I don’t deploy it using portainer but all of my stacks are set up as git repos in portainer and using the webhook feature it’ll auto pull and redeploy whenever I push to it

Thanks for that, I’ll give it a tweak and a bash as I don’t use traefik, but that’s a great starting point that gets me a chunk of the way there

No worries on that front, VPN is already set up and was established several years ago to do this and these days none of this infrastructure runs on a pi. But yes, that would be needed had I not already done so.

Magic, thanks for that I’ll give it a look.

Bookmarked for investigation when I finish my current batch of tasks (and 3 reminders set so when I forget I’m reminded)

I think I tried thisin my earliest Cura days and it didn’t work but I’ll give it another go and see how I go as that’ll at least get me round most of the problem and I’ve got backup plans for I’d I can’t get a self hosted web app going. (VM with rdp so I can still run Cura on it)

Very fair question and I’ll admit that a part of it genuinely is “because I can!” But that’s not all of the reason. I work across several machines and soon due to reasons that at the same time both make sense and are somewhat frustrating some of the machines I use most frequently are about to be locked down and my ability to instal software removed, so that is part of it. Web apps allow me to sidestep this issue. I’m a bit of a forgetful person that has to act when inspiration hits me or I forget to deal with it. Sometimes that’s probably for the best but other times a moment of inspiration has turned into something wonderful (both in the 3D printing scenario and wider life) Most of my homelab setup is web-based already and I have most of my files synchronised around to allow me easy access no matter where I am or what device I’m on, I also work long days away from home now and then and like the idea of having an idea, processing the stl file and then kicking off a print job so it’s complete by the time I get back home. In the end I guess my big motivator here is due to my own personal failings, I’m an impatient and forgetful person that would rather just get stuff done than improve my memory and patience ;)

Testing with a comment

One method that many people use to hide their IP address of their host is to use Cloudflare for DNS, that way you don’t directly expose your IP address to the wider internet. A nice bonus to Clouldflare is that it’s free too! Just get yourself a domain, get Cloudflare set up to provide DNS for it and you’re golden.

Thanks for confirming before I could bruise back to Lemmy world, find this post and confirm for myself.

I’ve just gotten my own instance of Lemmy running here and think I’m getting the hang of how to subscribe and link up to other instances. This is also a teaser to see if my first comment actually works!
