Why boycotting the Harry Potter TV show accomplishes nothing and what to do instead.


I have to say, this is just such an in-the-weeds moral stance that it crosses the boundary of reasonableness. Honestly, it's this sort of thing that drove me away from left wing styles of thinking a while ago.

The impact you make on the world in any of your possible actions with regard to Harry Potter is miniscule. Like, truly, utterly insignificant. Are you going to organize an anti-potter boycott? Participate in a protest? Harass the actors in an online trolling movement? Throw eggs at JK Rawling's house? Great! Go do all those things! Actively participate in changing the world for the better! These actions might actually lead to real change.

But denying yourself pleasures in the name of moral purity accomplishes nothing. If all you do is sit at home and think to yourself "I wanna watch the new Harry Potter thing, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person." (or in this case, "I wanna talk to my friends about the new Harry Potter thing I pirated, but I can't, because then I'm a bad person) then you are accomplishing literally nothing except making yourself miserable. Again, if you are going to actually do something, then go do it! But if you don't have the time or energy or interest or social battery to actually do something, then shaming yourself or others into not doing things is actively counterproductive. Go take a road trip without calculating if the pleasure you will derive is worth the carbon footprint! Eat an ice cream cone without feeling bad about the the suffering of the factory farmed cow it came from! Get one of those good-paying jobs in oil and gas or defence and make some goddamned money! You are simply not important enough for any of these actions to have any actual real-world impact. The only thing that happens is that you convince yourself that if you ever enjoy anything, then you are a bad person. You train yourself to constantly be looking for the ways in which life's simple pleasures are destroying the world, so you can feel bad about them.

Just stop it. Be happy. Do whatever you need to do to chill out and enjoy your life and gain some sense of contentedness and security. And then go out and make the world a better place by actually doing something. Hyper-anxious, shame-ridden, depressed know-it-alls rarely create effective social change because no one wants to hang out with them. No one see them and thinks "yeah, that's what I want my life to look like."

In order to lead by example you have to show a path to a better world. Not a cell.

“The squirt guns are to bother the tourists a bit,” Andreu Martínez said with a chuckle after spritzing a couple seated at an outdoor cafe. “Barcelona has been handed to the tourists. This is a fight to give Barcelona back to its residents.”

Martínez says his rent has risen over 30% as more apartments in his neighborhood are rented to tourists for short-term stays. He said there is a knock-on effect of traditional stores being replaced by businesses catering to tourists, like souvenir shops, burger joints and “bubble tea” spots.

“Our lives, as lifelong residents of Barcelona, is coming to an end,” he said. “We are being pushed out systematically.”


They have a point. People may dismiss this as “xenophobia” but I see it more as a matter of class divisions where rich tourists are prioritised over lower class residents.

windowsanza nonaggiornante quando il disco è fuso al completo


Qualche ora fa, semplicemente accendendo il PC, ho involontariamente e accidentalmente (perché non lo stavo affatto cercando, e perché la situazione per cui questa cosa è possibile è parecchio problematica sotto tutti gli altri punti di vista) scoperto un modo per bloccare permanentemente gli aggiornamenti automatici di Windows… senza smanettare, senza fare cose strane, senza nemmeno essere un amministratore del sistema. Per l’appunto, non era mia intenzione bloccare gli aggiornamenti, ma a quanto pare questo è esattamente cosa succede quando il disco C: è pieno quasi fino all’orlo (nonché quando è pieno fino all’ultimo byte, ma in quello stato non funzionano bene neanche le app, quindi sarebbe ovvio). 💣
Can't download updatesWe couldn't download some updates.[More info]Windows Update...Updates are available, but we temporarily need some space to download. Let's clear some space by removing any files and apps that you don't need and we'll try again.
Ecco qua: avvio il PC, in cui la mia partizione C: ha appena 1 GB e mezzo di spazio libero, ed esce questo bel messaggio a schermo (ambiguo come al solito sul momento, ma cliccando Maggiori informazioni si capisce subito tutto)… perché ops, alla Microsoft non bastano 1 miliardo e passa di byte (!) per installare un semplice aggiornamento cumulativo. Da qui ne deduco che, se lo spazio disponibile rimanesse così poco all’infinito, Windows non riuscirebbe mai a scaricare nessun aggiornamento; di conseguenza, gli aggiornamenti sarebbero bloccati per sempre. 🥴

Ci sarebbe da dire che, in realtà, spesso noto la quantità di spazio disponibile sul disco cambiare da sola, riducendosi o espandendosi con margini che vanno dal centinaio di MB al paio di GB, senza che io faccia nulla di particolare (cosa normale, sarà questione che ogni tanto l’SSD viene trimmato, o che le mie applicazioni e il sistema operativo smuovono le proprie cache), quindi non saprei quanto davvero questo sia affidabile come metodo per bloccare gli aggiornamenti, qualora ce ne fosse bisogno (che, ripeto, non è il mio caso)… Eppure, a pensarci bene, da qualche settimana ho il disco così strapieno, e da qualche settimana non noto arrivare aggiornamenti… per cui… 😹

Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on


Single core, 32 bit CPU, can't even do video playback on VLC. But it kinda works for some offline work, like text editing, and even emulation through zsnes! It's crazy how Linux keeps old hardware like this running.

Thankfully though, this laptop CPU is upgradable, and so is the ram, so I'm planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century 😄

L'ambulanza di Vancouver che investì un uomo durante il suo primo giorno di servizio


Pochi minuti dopo essere stata messa in servizio, l’ambulanza venne chiamata per una situazione d’urgenza. L’autista – un tale di cui si conserva il nome, Charles Cocking, esperto guidatore – si lanciò a tutta velocità lungo le strade non ancora ben asfaltate del centro cittadino. Nel farlo, per disgraziato errore investì un pedone. Secondo il Vancouver Province, giornale che raccontò la dinamica dei fatti in modo eccelso, il malcapitato rispondeva al nome di CF Keiss, “un ricco cittadino di Austin, Texas”

why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption


Hi lemmy
So i was curious why Enlightenment didn't recieve much adoption in the Linux Desktop. (especially for a fully featured lightweight wayland DE)
Ik Bodhi Linux uses Enlightenment, but it's more of Moksha rather then using Enlightenment

Cause
- Lighter then LXQT
- Somewhat customizable

But I can see people not liking it cause.

  • the ui(especially for windows users)
  • Hard to find themes due to it using its own toolkit

BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money


Get ready to have your mind blown by “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money.” This video dives deep into the shocking reality behind the Bitcoin hype and exposes how BlackRock and other Wall Street titans are quietly taking over the crypto world while everyday people are left holding the bag.

In “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money,” you’ll learn how just 1% of entities control nearly 90% of all Bitcoin, and how BlackRock alone has amassed over 530,000 BTC—making them the second-largest holder on the planet. The video breaks down how institutional giants use thousands of wallets to hide their concentration of wealth, while the media and crypto influencers keep pushing the myth of “decentralization.”

We’ll also reveal how new deregulation moves—like Trump’s rollback of IRS crypto broker rules and the SEC’s so-called “innovation-friendly” policies—are making it even easier for Wall Street to dominate, while retail investors get crushed by scams and volatility. “BlackRock’s Bitcoin Scheme: How Wall Street Giants Are Bilking Poor People Out of Money” is your wake-up call: Bitcoin isn’t the revolution you were promised. It’s become another playground for the rich, and the real winners are the same financial giants you thought you were escaping.

Introducing premium accounts to fund the matrix.org homeserver


🔗TL;DR
As we need to take more concrete steps to improve the financial situation of the Foundation, we will be rolling out a freemium offer for the matrix.org homeserver users. The alternative is to turn off the server, which we want to avoid doing. The goal is for the most active users to support the cost of the service. Free users will have limits on how they can use the service (mostly around media). The change can be supported by any client with limited to no development. Premium plans will be rolled out over the summer, and we will be iterating on the exact scope in the first few weeks. The Homeserver Terms and Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and deployed in the coming weeks.

Sabato 28 giugno 2025 a Agugliano (AN) “Libera Repubblica di Castel d’Emilio”


Il Grand Tour delle Marche fa tappa a Castel d’Emilio, borgo medievale nel comune di Agugliano (AN), incastonato tra le colline della “Terra dei Castelli”. Qui, Enrico Friziero, imprenditore padovano, ha ricreato un angolo di Veneto con l’apertura di un Bacaro e di un albergo diffuso (Relais Castel d’Emilio), ridando vita al borgo.

Sabato 28 giugno il borgo si trasformerà simbolicamente nella Libera Repubblica di Castel d’Emilio, con un evento speciale dedicato a questa “enclave veneta” nelle Marche.

Il programma inizia alle 15.30 con una caccia al tesoro per le vie del borgo dal titolo L’isola fantasma di Venezia. Alle 18.00, in piazza, Cesare Catà metterà in scena lo spettacolo La Geniale Cortigiana, con Pamela Olivieri (recitazione) e Fabio Capponi (musiche). Si racconterà la vita di Veronica Franco, cortigiana-poetessa veneziana del '500, figura simbolo di cultura e ribellione.

Alle 21.30 gran finale con il concerto di Gazebo, icona della Italo disco anni ’80, autore di successi che hanno venduto oltre 12 milioni di dischi.

Durante la giornata, al Bacaro Busèto e Bottòn, si potranno assaporare specialità venete come folpi, sarde in saor, cicheti, spritz leggendari e vini, con incursioni gastronomiche anche nelle Marche.

Ad arricchire l’atmosfera, figuranti in maschere veneziane del ‘700.
Tutti gli spettacoli sono gratuiti. Sarà presente anche una delegazione di Emergency, a cui destinare donazioni libere.

fazzoletto scancanato tra sporcizia e disordine!!!


Ecco stamattina un nuovo rapporto sullo stato delle cose del mio mondo scombinato, concentrato su un ennesimo dettaglio che nessuno ha chiesto ma che tutti meritano di conoscere… anche perché è sempre bene rimarcare accuratamente i miei territori (la mia cameretta e il mio blog): un fazzoletto che è rimasto sulla mia scrivania, dopo aver visto più di qualche giorno di utilizzo, ed è decisamente mutato dal suo stato originale (no shit Sherlock!).
Fazzoletto come descritto.
Questo improprio pezzo di arredamento, che funge ovviamente anche (perché ridotto in questo modo è più così che non il contrario) da strumento di sollievo contro la mia allergia (che a metà giugno ancora imperversa, non ci voglio veramente credere), è decisamente rustico, umile, essenziale, ma comunque speciale. In qualche modo, a furia di soffiarmici il naso tra la decina e la ventina di volte in totale, è passato ad essere un groviglio di fottuti brandelli, e per qualche motivo la cosa mi fa molto ridere. Ma ora… lo butterò o aspetterò che si distrugga completamente…?




List all existing program paths from your Bash's history. (Bash One Liner)


It only works with the first command in the recorded history, not with any sub shells or chained commands.

\#!/usr/bin/env bash

# 1. history and $HISTFILE do not work in scripts. Therefore cat with a direct
#    path is needed.
# 2. awk gets the first part of the command name.
# 3. List is then sorted and duplicate entries are removed.
# 4. type -P will expand command names to paths, similar to which. But it will
#    also expand aliases and functions.
# 5. Final output is then sorted again.

type -P $(cat ~/.bash_history | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq) | sort

After reading a blog post, I had this script in mind to see if its possible. This is just for fun and I don't have an actual use for it. Maybe some parts of it might inspire you to do something too. So have fun.

Edit 1:

After some suggestions from the comments, here is a little shorter version. sort | uniq can be replaced by sort -u, as the output of them should be identical in this case (in certain circumstances they can have different effect!). Also someone pointed out my useless cat, as the file can be used directly with awk. And for good reason. 😁 Enjoy, and thanks for all.

type -P $(awk '{print $1}' ~/.bash_history | sort -u) | sort

I still have no real use case for this one liner, its mainly just for fun.

I wish it was. I honestly forgot. yeah, shame on me. 😁 Before this, at the position of cat there was actually a different command, which I replaced with this. And I didn't think of adding the file to awk instead. I'll update the line with this suggestion and a suggestion from someone else.

Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange



in reply to CashDragon

Which path sounds better to you?


Monero

I have nothing against Bitcoin Cash. I just see no need for it.

in reply to shortwavesurfer

The issue with Monero is that it cannot scale to world adoption levels.

It is fine as a niche coin for certain use cases and I like it as well but I have migrated to BCH as it is the future.

The stress test a year ago showed Monero tops out ~700k TX per day and node problems started around 300-500k. This is likely a fundamental flaw and will not be able to go much beyond this TX volume unless there is a complete redesign/rewrite.

BCH has good privacy with CashFusion and in a couple of years it will have 100% private tokens, we will have Monero as a token on BCH. This is much better because we get full access to all exchanges that BCH is on plus world scale and supreme privacy.

My bet is on BCH.



What GNU + Linux software could enable deep integration of backup, sync, and transfer; just as convenient and beginner-friendly (edit: and efficient) as what Apple provides?


For example, iOS has these features:
- iCloud backup restore or peer-to-peer transfer, very early in the device setup process
- Two ways for things to be stored in iCloud, each with a corresponding list of per-app (not per-folder) toggle switches in iCloud Settings
- "Saved to iCloud" normal syncing
- Requires apps to use the right APIs and to handle conflicting changes
- Allows same data to be read and modified by multiple devices
- iCloud backup
- Available for all apps
- Separate backup per device
- Only downloaded when setting up a new device
- In app sandboxes, only excludes tmp (Flatpak equivalent is somewhere in /run) and Library/Caches (equivalent to cache directory in Flatpak sandbox) by default
- Allows apps to set isExcludedFromBackup attribute for specific files (useful for things that are easy to recreate via download but are expected by the user to not be automatically deleted)
- Includes system configuration such as home screen layout
- Backs up a list of installed apps without backing up their executables and assets
- Synced list of previously installed apps, not separate per-device

Curate your shell history


in reply to learnbyexample

Atuin (by @ellie@hachyderm.io) makes the history storage and management side much easier and portable, but could perhaps use a "smite mode" to make deletion interactively easier. The current interactive implementation prioritizes safety over expediency which is fine, but a "today I clean things" option could perhaps instead prioritize the other way around and enable one key delete w/ undo instead.

Is this some sort of bash/zsh joke that I'm too fish to understand?

Okay I can see how curating could work. But if you're lazy like me, I recommend this:

I’m accidentally becoming a #FediMerch guy.

Shiny stickers


Last year, I wrote a blog post, Fediverse for Freedom – which was about the importance of a free and open Fediverse, and how and why public institutions can support it. Since then, I’ve referred to this blog post in many of my talks and in conversations, and started to use the hashtag #FediverseForFreedom.

Ahead of FOSDEM back in February, I created some stickers to share – a Fediverse logo, overlaid with the text “I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance #FediverseForFreedom”. They were quite a hit at the time, and since then I’ve used the same image in presentations. When people have seen them, I’ve quite often been asked where they came from.

Last week, Elena Rossini – writer of the fantastic The Future is Federated blog/newsletter, talented filmmaker and photographer, and (perhaps) the Fediverse’s Number One Fan – released a great, four minute video that both explains and promotes the Fediverse and open platforms not owned by billionaires1

videos.elenarossini.com/videos…

One of the stickers shows up in several shots of the the video, and once again, I heard that people would like to be able to get some for themselves.

A simple site


I’ve been wanting to make the stickers available for a while, but the release of the video finally pushed me into getting this done!

I’d recently bought some stickers myself, from the talented Robb Knight, and he mentioned that he used Stripe Payment Links for his site. I already had a Stripe account, so thought I’d try the same thing.

So: now you can visit fediverseforfreedom.org (.com points to .org), and click on a link to to get a handful of stickers shipped in your direction! You can also easily just tell your friends, “oh yeah, I got them from Fediverse For Freedom dot org”. Nice and straightforward.
A small pile of I Am Part Of The Rebel Alliance stickers
There’s a bit more information about it all on that simple site, but I thought it might be interesting to write down a bit more about how I made it.

The site is running on Codeberg Pages. Previously I’ve put these kinds of one-off, single page sites up on GitHub Pages, or on Glitch. I’m feeling increasingly less comfortable about having all of my stuff on GitHub and hosted in the US; and, unfortunately, Glitch is going away soon (more on this in a future post). So in this case I chose Codeberg Pages, although I’m aware that they are themselves a platform that is currently in maintenance mode. I’m open to suggestions for similar sites, as I’ll need to migrate some Glitch apps somewhere very soon!

Apart from that: the whole operation is very low tech. Stripe Payment Links are convenient – Stripe itself can handle a huge variety of payment types – but, on the backend… it does not do much. No order acknowledgement emails, order management tools, or anything like that. All I get is a basic dashboard with information about the orders. I whipped up some simple Python that uses the Stripe API to grab the postal addresses of orders, and then creates SVG address labels for printing. The same code also grabs the email addresses so that I can send an email thanking the customer for the order.

In terms of shipping, that’s also a manual process – no “drop-shipping” here, I’m getting the stickers from my regular supplier (StickerApp), putting them in envelopes, and posting them out myself. That also means that delivery times will vary – although I had enough in stock to cover all of the initial orders, I’ve also been in Amsterdam for the past 3 days, so the first batch will go out on Monday.

One more thing I’m experimenting with here is GoatCounter, just to get a sense of traffic and interest. I didn’t want to put a load of invasive Google Analytics onto such a basic page, and I’ve had GoatCounter recommended to me a few times now – like Mastodon, it has also benefited from NLNet funding from the European Union in the past, and I wanted to see what was possible. It seems to do just what I wanted, whilst also being unintrusive.

What’s next?


Look… I don’t intend to become some kind of merch magnate, but I do know that some people share my own desire to display our commitment to the Fediverse and related causes, and if I can help folks to do so, then I will (did you know we already made a t-shirt? Elena has asked me for more in the same vein!).

If you want to look for other ways to show your support in public, and to give back to people or projects that work on tools that you use, take a look at the Awesome Fediverse Merch list that Jeff Sikes is curating. Plenty of options for everyone.

Finally – remember to support the creators of your favourite sites, services, and open source software directly, whenever you can!


  1. Remember, as I heard in a keynote at the PublicSpaces conference this week: “the Internet is currently controlled by four or five fucked up right wing white men” – it’s time to rewild the internet, and take ownership of our data and choices. ↩︎

How can we combine two audio recording inputs (mics) into one audio input source in Manjaro?


My partner and I are running Manjaro and very new to it. Trying to switch as much as possible over to daily use with Manjaro.
We have pipewire, not pulseaudio

We record multiple times a week on OBS, and my partner and I are in the same room. We have two mics side by side both inputs going into my PC. Linux, and therefore OBS, are recognizing the two mic inputs separately as you might expect.

OBS can set up both of these separate inputs, but the issue is we're having significant problems with echo and the noise suppression/noise gates are not sufficient.

This was not an issue on windows, where we used Voicemeeter to combine our inputs into one mic for OBS. I am looking to emulate that on Linux to see if it solves our problems.

We have tried a mic merge sink, but it creates an OUTPUT device, not an input device.

SOLUTION:
QPWGraph was the answer (or something like it, Helvum was also recommended) While it looks intimidating at first you just need to understand it's a series of outputs and inputs and you play mix and match. This allowed us to take the outputs of the mics and connect them directly to a single OBS mic source. This 100% did all that Voicemeeter was doing for us, and the results were also the same.

We do not experience echo, overlap, feedback, or any of the issues we were having by adding the two mics separately in OBS. Our issue was NOT the setup, as some people focused on here. As soon as we got the mics going into that same input, all was good and we successfully ran a recording session 100% in Manjaro.

In the end, this did everything we wanted from Voicemeeter + MORE, as I can now isolate different outputs as well. So for instance in recordings I can manage the volume of discord and the background music separately. So this was an amazing solution and the result was exactly what was needed, and ultimately was much easier than Voicemeeter.

Thank you to those here that recommended it, and the people at the Manjaro forums.

I've just created an OBS audio capture device, then opened qpwgraph and put both mic's into it.

It should do what you want, but I am not sure that will fix the problem. Give it a shot and let us know.

I definitely recommend playing around with easyeffects a bit more as well.

100% what worked for us, and I got the recommendation from Manjaro forums as well. Thank you!

Try using audacity/tenacity with each mic on one stereo channel, press recording and like the output to OBS.
