Seems like a group of people dedicated to archiving American research that is at risk of being removed from the web.

in reply to Sandbag

Is it for the sake of "Trump proofing" or are there other reasons? Looking at what has been safeguarded one thinks they are expecting a some sociology department purge. No matter what one might think it's still a really bad idea to start a book burning. Even if it could be objectively proven that all that stuff is nonsense and dangerous it still doesn't mean that they warrant destruction, because everything is worthy of keeping around because it can still be referenced and for history's sake. People who ban books and restrict access are really more afraid of an argument than protecting the truth.

fyi: Never title our posts like "I found this on site X" or "I found this to be cool". It's seriously bad practice.

in reply to Korkki

Yeah, I'd like to know what they're worried will happen. Because this sounds like a complete overreaction.

Better safe than sorry I guess, but I'd really like to know what they're keeping it safe from. Surely backups already exist for anything deemed important.

in reply to Korkki

They're already purging everything that includes the words diversity, inclusion and equity, you know that once they start, they'll continue to add stuff that needs to be deleted, like trans, racism, any economics that isn't neoliberal, etc.

They don't just kill science: that's inconvenient and dumb but it can be put on pause fairly safely.

In this case, they're putting public health in grave danger. That will turn them into literal mass-murderer if a new pandemic takes hold.

in reply to ExtremeDullard

Science is a tool.

20th century facists used eugenics (which was considered scientifically sound at the time) to argue for genociding disabled people.

in reply to FundMECFS

With the small caveat that eugenics is not scientific.
in reply to ExtremeDullard

It was an extremist interpretation of mendelian genetics. But it was a near dominant view among geneticists at the time.
in reply to FundMECFS

What's crazy to me is that eugenics is largely sound... It's literally a forbidden branch of science not because it's unscientific, but because our species can't be trusted with it

So much so that it becomes worthless. Elon Musk is doing his best to spread his genetics, even inappropriately offering up his sperm to female employees... He thinks he's one of humanities best and brightest. The kedamine addicted failed programmer turned conman, a guy so insecure he faked being good at video games and has created nothing himself, thinks his genes need to be spread far and wide

We are animals, we can indeed be bred for traits like animals, but we're so bad at evaluating ourselves we literally cannot use this branch of science

in reply to theneverfox

Eugenics is not sound because
1) It makes moral judgments as to what human traits are desirable and undesirable, which are non-scientific and largely based in prejudice.
2) It treats all traits as heritable which neglects socialisation and other complex factors.

Like for example eugenics in the Nazi regime genocided 90% of people with schizophrenia to try and wipe it out. But now, in 2025, schizophrenia rates are largely the same between germany and other western countries, because schizophrenia only has a small heritability factor.





[QUESTION} Tools to manage homelab


I've noticed that with time, my homelab is growing and with this comes complexity and time required to maintain. A big challenge is keeping on top of updates of firmware and key components (router and NAS, with pfsense and Truenas Scale respectively). What area people doing to ensure they keep on top of their homelab?

I added renovate to my project over the weekend. I got 26 PRs for updating things I have missed, so it is working well for most part!

The only issue I have with it are a few docker images come from docker hub and I am getting 429 response codes for pinning digests. Do you have any tips for renovate on this? Ideally I'd like it to just update and pin digests on the next update to avoid api hits.

I am doing a regex datasource for most of them since my k8s resources are in yaml files and found right now it strips - alpine and such from the version tags... Haven't looked into this issue too much yet though.

Docker Hub sucks and is VERY strict with rate limits. Try ghcr.io or the aws container registry.



Why you’ll leave X (as well as Instagram and all the other private platforms)


in reply to psychothumbs

This is definitely worth a read and I very much hope the author's predictions come true, but I think it misses the mark in two big areas.

  1. This article presumes these platforms will remain the same. In reality these companies will pull out all the stops to incentivize users to stay, and if that doesn't work they will just buy up and acquire the competition, wherever the users are. Look at what's happening with tiktok.
  2. Some users - believe it or not - want a way to keep up with IRL friends and acquaintances. Instagram and Facebook provided a great way to do this (however less "great" nowadays). Still, I don't want to email or text every single person I know just to share a photo or a recent event. And honestly I also don't want every acquaintance I have sharing every detail of their lives over text or email or phone. Even with an alternative, we'd have to find and rebuild our personal networks all over again.
in reply to ifGoingToCrashDont

Yes! Instagram is the main way I start in touch with my friends and family and I keep my fb account alive because my parents and aunts/uncles still use it. Whatsapp is also our main form of communication so basically we are super tied to meta. I did close my twitter and Reddit accounts but essentially all the people I care about use meta in some form or another
in reply to ifGoingToCrashDont

Facebook is the only way for me to keep up with what's happening in my town. Lots of the older generation of people are on it and always post what's the best repair people, events or other news worthy things. Basically local news feed.
in reply to ifGoingToCrashDont

Yea it's way too optimistic to presume these companies will not lash out in their death throes. They'd destroy as much as possible on their way out.
in reply to psychothumbs

I'm in my mid 40s huge geek, programmer, gamer...I never had a huge calling to join those platforms. I was always a more forum type. Admittedly I checked out the sites from links of Reddit and such, but never had an urge to join them for anything, probably due wanting to read more conversational type input from others. Maybe I missed out but seems like being an old foggie sort of won out in the end with what I'm reading these days.

I'm sure there was decent conversations on some of the platforms as well, so not saying they were always bad just wasn't something that I had an urge to put time into, mostly so I could game more heh.



La nave Cassiopea è partita per l'Albania con 49 persone migranti a bordo - Il Post


Pronti per un nuovo psicodramma con giudici brutti e cattivi che seguono la legge invece che i desideri governo?

IIRC dall'ultima volta non è cambiato nulla sul piano normativo (forse la cosa di spostare la competenza alla corte d'appello dal tribunale ordinario? immagino non farà nessuna differenza, non è che le corti d'appello siano più malleabili dei tribunali ordinari).

A voler esser stronzi (e contemporaneamente ottimisti!) si potrebbe sperare che si stiano preparino a far un gran rumore su questi 50 poracci per coprire quello di un qualche altro evento (eg. magari un certo ministro finalmente si dimette?). Ok, 100% speculazione.

Just the case of a leader trying insurrection and holding them accountable. You know, like the US failed to do...

Recognizing the ROK's past dictatorship doesn't mean pretending they aren't more democratic than the US. It isn't black-and-white.

MacOS -> Linux: BetterTouchTool replacement


I'm still trying to get myself over to linux, and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement for BetterTouchTool. Essentially, the app lets you customize multitouch trackpad gestures per-app and system wide with single to 5 finger support.
in reply to Horsey

probably off topic, but i never understand people who actually use a trackpad, as i find them horrible to use and carry around a bt mouse w my notebook so i don't have to use the trackpad. if you have the time, could you please explain a bit why you personally use it? Thanks!
in reply to telepresence

The multitouch trackpad for me is a great way to get the eye candy of having linear animations tied to your finger movement. In a practical sense, I use linear animations in MacOS to "peek" between desktops and pages in Safari all the time. The fact of the matter is that linear animations are just far smoother, and useful than ones that snap into place from a single input trigger. I even have a trackpad for my home desktop setup and literally don't use my traditional mouse unless I'm playing a game that doesn't support controllers.

A good example of this is to compare Windows's app exposé with the MacOS one. In Windows when you swipe up (or down? I forget which one) with 4 (3?) fingers, once you hit a certain point the app exposé just appears no matter how slow or fast you're doing the gesture. On MacOS, you can do the app expose gesture on the trackpad as slow or as fast as you want and it'll animate in time with the speed of your fingers doing the gesture.

Try Touchegg! github.com/JoseExposito/touche… it works very well on X11, not sure on Wayland tho because most DEs get in the way with their gestures.

[HELP] LMS to Lyrion migration in docker


I have LMS at its latest version (8.5.3) installed on a VM. I hadnàt updated for a while and so decided to do so. To my surprise, I learnt that Logitech Media Server is now called Lyrion Music Server.
Has anyone migrated from one to the other in a non-painfull way? I did a quick search. There are some guides for Synology and QNAP servers but I was after a more generic guide for pure docker. Anyone come across any?

While I doubt she would have won a primary, I am disappointed she got shoved into a difficult situation. With all of the zionists in American politics, it’s hard to speak out against it during an election. We will never know what her plans would have been, but I think most of us know anything would have been better than what Trump intends to do. Gaza is prime real estate now, and the developers are salivating.

Trump suggests Palestinians leave Gaza and ‘we just clean out’ territory


Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.

“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.

He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.

Israeli forces shoot, kill Lebanese residents returning south


Israeli forces opened fire on Lebanese people returning to their homes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing at least 15 people and injuring 83 others.

Lebanese residents attempted to return to their villages in defiance of Israeli military orders on the day a deadline for the Israeli military to withdraw from Lebanese territory expired.

Israel said on Friday that it would keep its forces in the south beyond the deadline set under a US-brokered ceasefire with Hezbollah. The Israeli government accused Lebanon of not yet fully enforcing the terms of the agreement, requiring the disarmament of Hezbollah in the south and the deployment of the Lebanese army in the area.

Socialism and communism are not one and done processes. They are gradual changes, both Marx and Lenin have addressed this extensively. We can’t just instantly press the big communism button unfortunately.

Alternatives to VirtualBox?


VirtualBox is ridiculously simple to set up and get virtual machines going. Shared folders, shared clipboard and much more are no issue.

But.

It eats resources. The installed virtual machines (VM) run relatively slow. What have you found to be feature comparable - and most importantly more resource-efficient - alternatives for running VMs under Linux?

reshared this

in reply to Einar

Might be that you really don't need VMs but just lightweight namespace containers. If so, you can use docker/podman, systemd-nspawn or various other tools. The overhead will be less than 1% if you stay within the same architecture as your host.

Virt-manager with qemu-system, although if you use the kvm driver for both performance should be about the same I think.
