I didn't see a single person for all 24 hours of the 24th of December

The Internet was quiet. The outside was quiet. Best day ever...

What happened?

Debian Stable with i3wm because I only had to think about it once when upgrading from Debian 12 to 13 where the new packages included the Alacritty update that changed their config format so I had to go and fix that.

I hate thinking about my computer's OS; it should just work and I don't have to think about it!

I say Twitter because Elon deadnames his children so I will deadname his platform.

I am specifically referring to what is colloquially known as 'scrobbling', though Last.fm kind of owns the term but there are open alternatives and you can in theory host those open alternatives yourself if you are chronically allergic to relying on corporate services. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last.fm#Scrobbling

I am asking why you wouldn't simply use Last.FM, or it's alternatives, where you enter a mutually beneficial relationship in which they do all the work and give you aggregate statistics, and you give them listening statistics that they can use to make money in return.

Omvendt er der situationer, hvor særligt outbound open source-software, altså at myndighederne offentliggør deres kildekode, ikke nødvendigvis er hensigtsmæssigt. Det er fx tilfældet i nogle offent lige apps, hvor der kan ligge en risiko i, at systemets funktionalitet og visuelle brugergrænseflade kopieres én-til-én af uvedkommende. Her kan offentlig adgang til koden potentielt gøre det nemmere at skabe visuelt tro kopier, hvilket kan underminere tilliden til løsningen og øge risikoen for udvikling af apps med falske identiteter. I sådanne tilfælde kan lukkede systemer med stærk kontrol med adgangen til kildekoden være at foretrække.

Arh... Jeg vil faktisk argumentere at det ikke gør det svære eller nemmere, at udføre spear-phishing, eller normal phishing for den sags skyld, hvis man ved hvordan bagenden er skruet sammen. De elementer som en bruger interagere med skal kun opføre sig som var det legitime.

I vibe with your quest, but why not use an external scrobbling service?

The LXC also has storage attached and houses backups, but it's not served in any accessible way. I just use SFTP if I need to pull some files. The off-site is for if I somehow destroy both my live copy and the backup copy.

I have an LXC that pulls files to it as backups using rsync, and pushes backups to a remote location using borg.

Neither pushing nor pulling has any effect on the integrity of the backup, so just do which makes your life easier. I'm doing both because managing all of my backups from a single location is just easier.

@pomfritten@feddit.dk hvorfor?
