That being said if youre looking for performance, the last thing you’d want is open source nvidia drivers; theyre built entirely off reverse engineering, which takes time.

Pretty sure that is not true anymore since a couple of years. Only newer cards can capitalise the gains from the ‘official’ open drivers though.

Depends on what you want to play. If you want to play current games with current hardware then current kernel and drivers help a lot. A base Debian would (if it even works) probably less FPS than an current gaming distro.

A working nitter instance?!

Deleting after x days is possible with Pinchflat, iirc.

Nexus Mods “controversey,”

What “happened” this time?

Maybe Memos:

https://github.com/usememos/memos

Or as others mentioned Obsidian with Git or Syncthing or Livesync for multiple devices. It is extremely versatile.

specialist wait times are usually less than 2 weeks.

No they are not. The average wait time is currently 30 days. So if you are living somewhere where a lot of specialists are available: good for you. You are the other extreme.

I don’t, however. For oculists & urologists I wait ~6 months, for dentists ~4 months, for otolaryngologists I wait (with lots of trying as I require them monthly) ~2 months and for the psychiatrist (with the ability to diagnose autism) I am still waiting since nearly 2 years now.

it’s normal the pension system has to be adjusted from time to time. it has been done before and there is lots of time to do it again when necessary.

2030. One single term. This year the governments supplements the pension system with 121 Billion euro, from tax money which could also be used for other much needed renovations. And each year it is a bigger part of the pot, as more people take from the pension system than people who pay into it. 2020 it was 100 payers, 57 takers. 2030 it will be 67 takers. 2050 it will be 77 takers. This system is everything but stable.

Germans can also have private pensions on top.

That is coming from a very privileged position. Not everyone is able to do so.

in other countries it’s completely private or even from the employer, which is a lot more unstable.

Agreed, but saying “it worse elsewhere” is not an argument. Its better elsewhere too and that is what we should aim for. I am absolutely for a pension system, but one which works long term and for everybody.

higher politician pension is important to help avoid corruption.

Yeah, thats what the politicians say and a lot of them are still corrupt as fuck. You know, there is only 1 political party which does not accept donations/bribes but solely depends on the memberships, and that is “Die Linke”. Members Of the Bundestag also donate the bigger part of their salaries to good causes. They only retain the average German salary.

there is no downfall. the only thing that could happen is doomers like you making people vote AfD by driving them with fears to right wing populists and turning the country fascist again.

I am for positive change, benefiting the many. And that sure as hell ain’t the AfD. Now let me take a potshot as well: based on your post you love the “Weiter so” mentality of CDU/SPD and maybe it is your inability to embrace change that makes this world a worse place and drives people towards the Afd.

What the fuck happened?

Well 16 years basically nothing, then a little bit before the government imploded. But don’t worry there is an election soon and the top 2 parties are populists and one of them is openly fascist. So give us another couple years and everything will surely fall into place… any moment now…

How is the largest EU economy so incompetent it produces A homeless rate on a scale of a super power?

You know how Germany has universal healthcare? Well, doesn’t mean shit if you have to wait for a specialist (like a psychologist) months to years. Oh but don’t worry, Politicians (+some others) have a different, better Version. They can get any specialist in days and most cost is covered by the state. So they surely have the best interests at heart for the 90% of population who just get the basic healthcare.

And if that isn’t enough our pension system is dying pretty fast as well, as it is basically a pyramid scheme. So we currently have lots of old folks not getting enough money, and not enough young people to pay for that, even though the young have to pay more and more. But don’t worry, if you think this is bad: it will be getting a lot worse. Because this trend is continuing, young people paying a lot right now, will receive even less later. I honestly do not think I will have enough money to even eat when I am older, despite having a good job and paying 18,6% (50/50 split with the employer) of my income towards the pension system. Oh, and take a guess who is exempt from that. Politicians (+some others) again. Who get as much pension for 4 years of “work” as the average person gets after their whole work life. So surely, they will fix that too.

Germany was trending upwards until 1982, then our version of Reagan put the downfall in motion. Any time now.

Thats okay. They aren’t selling life time though, but only raffle them away during promotions. So in this case they probably are sustainable, but the chance to get one is next to zero (unless you buy them off of someone else, as that is a thing proton supports).

Backed this on Kickstarter. Seems honestly too good to be true, so I am antsy to get my hands on it.

Five Filters has a paid service, but they also have a free docker app for people who want to self-host. https://github.com/heussd/fivefilters-full-text-rss-docker

That container is running PHP5. Make sure to either not run it public or to properly secure it.

Does that still work? Last updated over a year ago and the free games are usually protected by some rather creative captchas.

Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No.

Will people buy it? Yes.

Will there be more brutally expensive items because of it? Yes.

First: IANAL, EU law is complicated. This is my understanding as of now:

TL;DR: The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to enhance cybersecurity standards for products with digital elements. It introduces mandatory requirements for manufacturers and retailers to ensure cybersecurity throughout a product’s lifecycle. The CRA excludes open-source software developers unless their software is used commercially as part of a “product with digital elements”.

would lemmy be regulated by CRA?

Lemmy, as an open-source project, would likely not be directly regulated by the CRA. The Act specifically excludes open-source developers from its scope unless their software is used commercially.

Whaz about lemmy instances?

Lemmy instances might be regulated by the CRA if they are operated commercially as part of a “product with digital Elements”. (Is there a pay for access instance or hosting as a service for lemmy? I am not aware of one.) However, since most instances are run non-commercially or for personal use, they would likely fall outside the CRA’s scope.

Is there a difference if there is a fee or a recurrent donations?

Yes:

• A fee is typically a mandatory payment for a service or product, e.g. a feature locked behind a paywall.
• A recurring donation is a voluntary, regular contribution to support an organization or cause, often without receiving goods or services in return.

The key distinction lies in the obligation attached to the payment. Fees come with an expectation of receiving something in return, while donations are given freely without such expectations.

Well it is better than Concorde or current Overwatch.

You can now follow fediverse accounts on Threads, but the accounts aren’t searchable and their posts won’t show in feeds.

Wow. They can now bookmark accounts. Amazing technology. ^/s

No, different protocol. Also as of now they still hold the ‘keys to the kingdom’ so to speak.

I mean… how likely is it that the wallet just was stolen from the government. Unless there is a statement, I’d rather attribute this to incompetence than malignancy.

There is also a CLI without docker, for agent and hub, and you can mix & match. I can’t say how well though, very happy with running it as docker compose.

• monitors CPU, memory and disk space
• can accept multiple hosts to watch
• has some sort of alerting system
• can be deployed as a single docker container
• can be configured using a text file
• configs can be imported and exported inside the docker compose file

https://github.com/henrygd/beszel

There is no really config to speak of. You setup the hub. Then you click on add system and write in the IP. Then you click on “Copy compose”. That is the agent you can then deploy with a compose file on any system. Click on add and it is there.

The only thing you might want to configure is alerting, but only once on the hub.
