The flag looks a bit like a disgruntled goose.

I think you missed the joke.

You’re not just “disagreeing”. You’re trotting out GOP propaganda, much like a bot programmed to do so.

I’m having a hard time believing that you actually believe what you’re saying.

My opinion doesn’t mean much since it’s been forever since I tried any other distro but I’m surprised Debian isn’t on the beginners list.

it might be a bit too involved for an absolute beginner to configure to perfection

I’m not really sure what this means? It might be more accurate to say it’s not the best distro if you’d like to tinker with your desktop experience.

Notably, nothing on the beginners list ought to be run as a headless server, but debian is perfect for that job. The reason I’ve become so enamoured with debian over the years is that I can use it on my desktop and on servers and it’s the same system - everything is exactly where I’m used to it being.

Thunderbird is fine.

Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don’t care how modern it looks.

refuse.

That’s just not practically possible.

OP said they’re running a small business. It’s great that they want to fly the flag for FOSS, but they’re not in the business of promoting and advocating for FOSS. They still need to do the things they need to do.

Refusing to file your taxes on the grounds that the software provided is not open source is a great way to no longer be in business.

Nice. These look great.

Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.

oh man. This is perfect. Thankyou.

I was actually looking at these on amazon but I mistakenly thought that the term “temperature controlled” included in the product name was just SEO bullshit, referring to the mobo controlling the temperature.

I see now that these ones do it themselves.

This is the way.

perfect!

acinfinity is probably overkill for me but honestly very tempting.

I did see that thermostat pwm board on amazon. When you say a “standard 12v power adapter” do you mean as in… like a transformer plug with 12v output and the right amperage?

I’m open to whatever solutions might be available, and these guys look like they make awesome fans, but I think I need something much less awesome and more integrated.

Basically, I just need a 120mm PC fan, supply it with the right voltage, and thermostat.

I’m an accountant.

The best accounting software will be the one your accountant uses.

When clients are on the same platform that I use internally everything just matches up and it’s beautiful and elegant and amazing.

When clients are using something else it just doesn’t fit our workflows and it’s just more of a fuck around, which of course the client gets charged for.

I’ve been flip flopping on this over the last 48 hours.

I can’t dispute that Joe doesn’t seem fit for another presidency.

That said, it sounds like it’s really up to Biden and the First Lady to decide to withdraw before anything will happen.

In the mean time, this discussion isn’t helping progressive voters. Trump will preside over an irreversible lurch to the right. Progressives need to unite behind a candidate - anyone the faintest pulse will do.

you can either a) reward them for moving left or b) punish them for moving right

You’re talking about the political will of a nation as you would training a puppy. It’s incredibly reductive and simply not how the overton window works.

If the republicans win the next several elections the democrats will move further to the right to try to steal votes off them. The republicans will have to move further to the right to differentiate themselves from the democrats.

Not surprisingly, the more republicans win elections the further right everything moves.

Your position is exactly where the conservatives would have you. They can’t win your vote so their best outcome is to convince you not to vote.

Perfect! Don’t vote for the dems for several elections. I’m certain this plan will usher in a new era of progressive politics. Well done. You idiot.

Great points.

I think the option of nuclear needs to be on the table, and in some (or many) circumstances it might be the best fit.

Presently in Australia one of our two major parties is campaigning on a “pivot to nuclear” platform, but we’re kind the polar opposite to the netherlands (both figuratively and literally?). The vast majority of Australia is sunny desert, girt by sea, with a tiny population in on the coast. My state is something like 2,000km by 1,250km, with about 2 million people. Nuclear just doesn’t seem like a good fit right now.

My concern is that with this pivot to nuclear we basically just keep burning coal for the next 20 years while we’re building nuclear plants.

It might be a great idea to build several reactors, while we furiously build out wind and solar.

There are some gargantuan solar hydrogen cracking projects not far from here in the planning phase which just sound amazing to me.

Yeah, I feel the same, but I don’t really know enough about it to make that assertion.

I agree. There’s also a pervasive feeling that lemmy is unaffected by manipulation and misinformation.

If Lemmy continues to grow sooner or later it will become a large enough target for manipulation, and I wonder how federation will fare at that time.

You’re right in that it will never be like it was, but there are still fringes and niche communities that have that human feel. The thing is they’re much less engaging without algorithms and UX driving engagement, we’re not drawn to them in the same way.

sweet. thanks.

INPUT will need to be DOCKER-USER in your script but otherwise I’ll see how it goes.

ok. I hadn’t thought about that.

Are there alternatives? Or is an IPv6 block list not practically possible?

Thank you. I was looking at something like this.

I guess I was asking whether there’s a package or project which kinda creates this rule and keeps the ipset list updated.

If I create a rule like that, then next time I’m playing around with this I’m not going to be able to figure out what I’ve done.
