I develop a moderately popular open source project and self-host it on Gitea. But I also mirror it on GitHub and accept PRs there. And one PR submitter on GitHub said they preferred to contribute there because that’s where potential employers look for open source activity.

Could employers also look on Gitea/Forgejo? In theory, yes. But some of them literally ask for your GitHub profile on their application forms…

I dunno. It sounds like he was a state-sponsored arms dealer. Was he really “doing good?”

Not to yuck your yum, but commercial “extra creamy” oat milks (inducing both Chobani and Planet Oat) contain garbage inflammatory oils: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/is-canola-oil-healthy#alternatives

The watery oat milk you didn’t like was probably just the flavor that omitted this oil.

Vegan butter or coconut oil sub well for butter, depending on the use. And canned coconut milk works pretty well for heavy cream in baked goods.

Ooh, lucky you! Maybe it was both the rDNS and the SNDS. Part of the problem IMO is it’s such a black box…

I’ve had similar experiences trying to send mail to Microsoft-hosted email addresses. My current “solution” is to send all outgoing mail directly from my VPS-hosted Mailu server… EXCEPT for Microsoft-destined mail. For those messages, they get transparently relayed from Postfix to a third-party email sending service that Microsoft apparently trusts.

The upshot is I can still use my own Postfix daemon for all mail sent to sane (non-Microsoft) providers.

Many folks use a centralized monitoring solution like Healthchecks to monitor backups across all of their servers. And borgmatic integrates directly with Healthchecks among others.

You mentioned Borg and all of its command-line options, but have you taken a look at borgmatic? It should be much easier to learn and use than Borg, while still retaining Borg’s features. Just note though that borgmatic probably doesn’t hit all of your stated requirements (e.g., no GUI).

Wow, that’s pricey!

A grand?? You can pick up a used Lenovo Tiny for 50 bucks (US) on EBay.

Even with flour tortilla dough, I’ve had success pressing them. I think the trick is not to over-knead because that develops the gluten. And also work in the lard by hand or with a pastry cutter, which also tamps down gluten. The tortillas I get this way aren’t super duper thin, but that’s fine by me given the ease of making them. FYI I use the bottom of a pot, not a real press.

Even better than (or in combination with) a rolling pin: Squash your dough ball with a flat-bottomed pot or pan. Easier with plastic on either side of the dough… I cut open a gallon storage bag.

Unlike Twitter, Mastodon seems to rely much more on stable hashtags for discovery. That’s probably because there’s no “the algorithm” like on Twitter. So with Mastodon you very well can subscribe to hashtags and expect them to get reused over time.

Maybe part of degrowth would be fewer public companies beholden to shareholders.

A used Pixel can be had in that range.

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but here’s a “primer” on Podman for Docker users: https://lemmy.world/post/213870

TIL!! I was snookered. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Intolerance of intolerance is essential to a free society. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

For starters: encryption at rest, block-level deduplication across backups, cloud storage, database support, container support, etc etc.
