That's fine. There will always be some niche / industrial software that someone needs Windows for.

I agree that it's probably a sensational article. No matter what the numbers actually are - it's too early to draw a line to Trumps policy decisions.

It's cherry picking, but I'll point out the 15% increase in the cost of eggs due to Avian flu. I mean, if we blamed Biden for inflation over the last several years then we can place this at Trump's door step surely?

In any case, I look forward to seeing the MAGA-splaining in the coming months.

excessive sugar intake being a likely causative effect

This is meme-level reasoning borne of the misunderstanding that because people with T2D should reduce their sugar intake T2D must be caused by sugar intake.

Anyone with any actual medical education would understand this.

Jury nullification is corruption.

It involves 12 people falsely stating that a defendant is not guilty despite their belief that they are guilty. How is that not a perversion of the court process?

How do you want the law to be different? Murdering CEOs ought to be permissible?

I'm not offended, I'm trying to explain that you're ignorant and arrogant.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah.

There's waaay worse things you can catch.

Just gonna be blunt and say that this is a pretty shitty misconception, like saying cancer sufferers didn't pray hard enough or something.

I'm T2D. I'm not going to provide my "fitness creds" (because why would you believe me anyway) but I'll just say it's absolutely not possible that my T2D is caused by poor diet or lack of exercise.

T2D is caused by insulin in insufficient quality or quantity. The pancreas produces insulin. Some people just have a shitty pancreas that produces shitty insulin that doesn't work. If you're overweight then fatty pancreas makes it worse, but it's not the underlying cause.

If you have T2D you can't store glucose effectively, it hangs around in your blood and fucks everything up. Consequently you shouldn't consume carbohydrates which your liver covers to glucose.

T2D is not caused by the consumption of sugar, but people with T2D cannot process sugar.

For a newly diagnosed person with T2D, diet and exercise is indeed the first recommendation, because the meds suck and losing some weight might make smaller doses more effective.

I, and others like me, lost the genetic lottery. I have to stick to an incredibly restrictive diet, and bullshit exercise regime, to delay the inevitable deterioration of my health. Even so I will be lucky to live to 60, and if I do ill probably have ass cancer or amputations or dead kidneys or some other fuckery.

Honestly, stick your "diet and lifestyle" misconceptions up your jumper.

Was I pretending?

I really just want people to think about what they actually want. Lemmy doesn't have much self awareness on this issue.

You can't complain about Trump not facing justice but simultaneously want Luigi to walk.

Luigi is a hero, but he needs to face trial and should be convicted if there is sufficient evidence.

There's a huge variety in condiments.

Mayo is egg, vinegar, and oil.

Fats (oil) are super complicated. Some are very bad for you like canola oil (but they're also cheap) while some are very good for you like olive oil (EVOO) (but it's very expensive).

Some Mayo varieties will have these three ingredients and an emulsifier to help it stay nice on the shelf.

Others will have heaps of sugar and bullshit flavours.

The difference in nutritional value is huge.

 

I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

 

Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.

IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.

The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.

The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn't great and I think I'm more likely to mess something up than to have any success.

The thing is, I'm sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I'm sure there must be an easier way.

 

 

In Perth for Easter weekend.

What are some cool things to do / places to visit?

 

If anyone could point me to some information or guide about this I'd really appreciate that.

I think the official com.android.gsm and friends need to be uninstalled first. I've tried that with adb, console reports "success", Google Play Services is no longer listed in Settings > Apps.

But... if I try to install MicroG via Fdroid or Droid-ify it goes through the install process, there's no error, but MicroG Core is not shown as "installed". If I try to install the apk with adb it says the currently installed version is newer than the one I'm trying to install?

microg.org seems to just assume you know how to install.

I read something about signature spoofing but I thought that was only for older devices.

Any insights / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I think this is the answer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/

 

rsync.net Warrant Canary

Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records.

Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as rsync.net.

rsync.net and its principals and employees will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy.

rsync.net will also make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following:

  • a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place

  • a cut and paste headline from a major news source, establishing date

Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or are removed from this page.

The current message is here:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256

2024-01-08

No warrants have ever been served to rsync.net, or rsync.net principals or employees. No searches or seizures of any kind have ever been performed on rsync.net assets, including:

ALL San Diego locations ALL Denver locations ALL Zurich locations ALL Hong Kong locations ALL Fremont locations

Notes:

This scheme is not infallible. Although signing the declaration makes it impossible for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force to coerce rsync.net to produce false declarations. The news clip in the signed message serves to demonstrate that that update could not have been created prior to that date. It shows that a series of these updates were not created in advance and posted on this page.

 

I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.

The folder structure is an absolute mess.

It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven't been able to think of an easy way to do that.

I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I've never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It's just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.

Any insights much appreciated.

 

Gerbera is a UPnP media server. I've used it (and it's predecessor mediatomb) for many years. Rock solid. Works well with VLC.
