Someone here have use for some rented (dedicated hardware) servers with a 2TB drive each? 
I just migrated my stuff off one of them and could let you play around with it if you wanted to learn about servers 'n stuff, or had some data to store temporarily.
I could set it to just auto-expire or whatever and hand you some credentials (although I can't give you access to the hoster interface so if you break it you'll need to message me to boot it into rescue, however I know it's fiddly bits so I can tell you everything you need to know about network configuration and how to make it boot, like how it doesn't do UEFI and needs BIOS booting).
(I also wouldn't mind paying for an extra month or two, those servers cost me like 15 bucks a month which doesn't hurt me that much tbh).

Hey fellow #Linux users, despite the #CrowdStrike problem only affecting #Windows, this is not a windows problem.
This is an "automatic update that got forced onto everyone with insufficient testing while also having way too many permissions" problem.
If you think big corps wouldn't run something similar on Linux, I have a an NFT of a bridge to sell you.

Roommate Alex just came over to tell me that his job has been thrown back into the dark ages and S-bucks corporate has told everyone to just give away free coffee untill they can fix it. (They can't fix it)
This sounds like today's gonna be white lady caffeine withdrawal meltdown city, which is terrible, but I'm cackling. God what a nightmare.
All hail the General Cloud Strike

@timonsku and honestly literally none of this is anything to do with Windows at all. exactly the same problem could've occurred on Linux or macOS had CS's driver been written for those OSes and either of them had been as ubiquitous in the commercial space. it's just uninformed blathering by people who want to proselytise for their favourite OS.

Ever since I met two very nice clowns on fedi I cannot use the word to disparage anything or anybody. Clowns are cool.

The fediverse has performed well above my expectations today in terms of both snark and useful information.
10/10, no notes.
Well, aside from the lack of alt text on images. Provide image descriptions, people. It's not hard.

Hi good people! hope you all don't mind me asking, but blacktwitter.io server needs some financial support! I've made this spreadsheet to share the revenue/costs transparently.

you know, it feels like everyone just completely forgot about project 2025 after the trump assassination attempt
From how things are going, I think I'm going to blame this one on Wallabag, not on NixOS

Important news: After almost 7 years without a sighting, I have once again seen the Sainsbury’s car park fox
I apologise for the poor picture but they were very intent on hiding in the bushes behind the petrol station so I had to be quick
stackoverflow grumbling
So apparently StackOverflow is full of people asking "I am trying to set up domain socket connections with peer auth and getting a 'no password' error, how do I fix this"
Followed by an endless stream of people suggesting "try setting a password", clearly not understanding what the question is

Hi, fedi admin friends! I'm excited to announce a tool that I've been building for the last few weeks: ModShark, an auto-moderator for Sharkey instances
This is a standalone application that integrates with Sharkey to provide background scanning of instances, users, notes, and other objects. Rule patterns and reporting methods are configurable, and the process is completely non-destructive (ModShark only issues reports - actions are left up to staff decision). Scanning logic is lightweight and efficient - designed to run well even on resource-constrained systems.
If this sounds useful, then please check out the link above! I'd be glad to answer questions or offer technical support if desired. I've been dog-fooding ModShark for weeks and can run it reliably on Windows and Ubuntu systems.

Setting up Wallabag on NixOS is turning out to be an absolute pain.

A software to mitigate cyber attacks caused more economical damage than any single cyber attack so far.
Did I get that right?
Turns out there's a reason that Patch Tuesday is on Tuesday

we live in a meritocracy. people move up the ladder because of their skills and hard work. nobody gave it to me I had to earn it. do you know how many outages it took for me to build this kind of skillset?
