Visa free programms are not just a way to get in more tourists. They are often part of international treaties (which often contain way more things with bigger importance than overtourism) or bilateral agreements, which guarantee the same thing in the other country. If a country limits the entry of citizens from another country, that country probably will alao limit down its own visa free programm for citizens of the first country. The countries suffering from overtourism often don't have the treaty freedom to so this or don't want to limit their own citizens travels.

So Visa agreements are mostly part of international politics. Changing that does change a lot more than just tourism, which is often not worth it.

Provided your dishwasher is even connected to the warm water line. Typical dishwashers with internal heaters are not. A family member of mine has the dishwasher connected to the warm water line to save on electricity for heating the water (has solarthermal elements on the roof for heating water). Though that can alao mean, that on hot days the warm water line gets too hot for most plastics (like 70°C). A bit inconvenient.

Mhh, you are probably right. I'm really hesitant to invest more time into troubleshooting tailscale. My own tailscale connections at home are stable, and for troubleshooting at my family member I always have to drive and setup my notebook there.

Maybe I could try to setup wireguard directly in the fritzbox router at my family member. That might need less maintenance as running tailscale in a docker container, as it would remove the wireguard connection out of the NAS itself.

Opening a port directly gives me kind of an ick, because I don't want to fiddle too much with the family members network. If something happens with it, I will be the one troubleshooting it, and I don't need more work currently.

So Tailscale connection instability is not common? I don't like debugging this, since the NAS is remote and I don't have much time going to the family member again and again for this. It definitely is something on the remote site, since the tailscale connections at my home are stable.

I will definitely have a look at Kopia. I was in search of a good open source backup solution, since borg also has its flaws. I will check it out, when I setup the remote NAS again (as I also want to put bigger disks in it)

 

I currently use Borg for all my backups. To have a remote backup I placed my old Synology NAS at a family member and connected it to tailscale (via a tailscale docker container). That way I could also can do Borg backups to that remote NAS.

Though I have problems with the stability of the tailscale connection from the NAS. And honestly, I'm a bit tired to fix these problems.

I would like to have a self hosted backup solution, that can reach the synology NAS. I would like to avoid port forwarding at my family members network (for obvious reasons). I have a VPS in the internet that I can use for a common self hosted contact point (like I setup headscale there instead of using official Tailscale servers).

What would be your way for handling these remote backups?

For those who can read german: "Henry Frottey, sein erster Fall, Teil 2, das Ende der Trilogie" by Jan Philipp Zymny, who is a german absurdist comedian. Its a bit like the Dirk Gently Books by Dougkas Adams, though even more absurdist and less structured. A funny, but also exhausting read.

I don't know, if there is an english translation.

A server is measured by its availability. To read content from it, it has to be available. While everyone could use a dedicated always-on device, thats not really the situation you are describing. So you would run the software on your phone/notebook/PC. Those are not always available on the internet.

If you post something to your 50 recipients (as you stated in another comment), they can only read it, if both of you are online. For asynchronous communication (like a post typically is), that is a lot to ask. Especially, if you want to have features like comments, that all your recipients can see.

If you move away from the typical social media principle, then you can have truly decentralized messengers. I think, that already exists.

Another problem with any decentralized approach is how to handle content moderation. It is necessary, since humans are messy. The more decentralized a system is, the harder it becomes to moderate. For example: How would you stop CSAM to be proliferated through it? Or even stop it to being send to you? If the software has some automatic replication feature to enhance availability, then this problem gets worse. Lemmy has had its own attacks with CSAM being posted to many servers. That can get you into legal trouble very fast.

I don't know how libraries work in the US. In germany most libraries are part of a network. They can get you any book, that one of the other libraries in the network have. You are not limited to what is available at the specific library. If its available in one of the many other libraries (like one of the big public state libraries) then you can get it. Though you might need to wait a bit.

Germany has 20 required paid vacation days, though way more common are 30 days. Even most low end jobs I have seen provide that amount of vacation days. Though there are surely some shitty companies, which don't adhere to that standard. Ah, and public holidays don't count towards these vacation days.

Out of interesst: Do you then reopen the lid to check for shitstains left in the bowl, that would need cleaning before you leave?

[–] lucullus@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

Ah, ok. That exlains it. It's really a shitty move. I guess no CEO or other high up manager in the US would do this differently. What a shit

That's not union busting, is it? I understand the leadership problems, but we were talking about union busting specifically

I was speaking of union bustion actions in WMF. I already know about these law firms

 

Ich bin jetzt fertig mit "Automatic Noodle" und ehrlich gesagt zählt es definitiv zu den besten Büchern, die ich bisher gelesen habe. Ich mag die vier Roboter, die sich sowohl im Äußeren, als auch im Inneren so deutlich unterscheiden.

Sie nutzen den kleinen Freiraum, den ihnen ein fehlerhaftes und oft unerbittliches System unbeabsichtigt gelassen hat, um etwas zu schaffen, das schön und gut für alle ist. Ihr Motivation kommt von innen, aus dem Spaß und Vergnügen an der Tätigkeit selbst, sowie ihren verfügbaren Mitteln. Obwohl es ursprünglich um sie selbst dabei geht, heißen sie jede Gelegenheit, etwas Gutes für andere (robotisch wie auch menschlich) willkommen. Sie lassen ihre eigene Vision frei wachsen. Wir können es genauso machen. Etwas tun, was una Freude bereitet, und die Gelegenheit ergreifen, wenn wir andere mit einschließen oder anderen etwas Gutes damit tun können. Und dabei bemerken wir oft, dass die Gemeinschaft unsere Freunde noch erhöhen. Mir geht es so, wenn ich bei meinem lokalen Pfadfinderstamm die Lagerfeuergitarre bespiele. Nur wenige wollen selbst darin aktiv werden, aber alle freuen sich und singen begeistert mit. Meine Leidenschaft bringt mir und anderen Freude, und das ist mir sehr wichtig.

In "Automatic Noodle" ist natürlich nicht alles wunderbar. Es ist keine Utopie und zeichnet zuweilen auch ein ziemkich düsteres (und aus aktueller Sicht leider wahrscheinliches) Bild. Es kommt mir in der Handlumg des Buches aber nicht so vor. Ich denke, das liegt an der Zukunftsvision. "Automatic Noodle" sagt: "Ja, ist gerade richtig scheiße, aber schau mal: Da vorne wirds schon besser. Also lass uns zusammen daran arbeiten." Aktuell scheinen wir auf dem absteigenden Ast zu sein. Kaum einer hat noch positive Zukunftsaussichten (trotz der Tatsache, dass es uns in vielen Dingen auch besser geht als früher). Aber wir können die düsteren Aussichten damit kontern, dass wir gemeinsam eine bessere Zukunft schaffen können und es irgendwann wieder bergauf gehen wird.

Interessant finde ich auch die Thematisierung von strategischer Misinformation, sowohl im großen (Informationskrieg), als auch im kleinen (individuelle Hater). Schön fand ich da die Worte von Cayenne: "Sometimes, when people don't have a community, they make one up." An sich schon ein treffender Satz. Besser kommt das dann rüber, als Hands fragt, ob sie das nicht auch selbst gerade tun würden. Sweetie grenzt das schön ab: "We are making a place for people who were already there." Wir können uns die Gesellschaft nicht aussuchen. Es geht darum Orte für die Menschen um einen herum zu schaffen. Gerade jetzt, wo es kaum noch Dritte Orte gibt, an denen sich Menschen ihne kommerzielle Zwänge treffen können.

Und zuletzt: Ich finde es unglaublich witzig, wie Sloan überzeugt davon ist, dass Friends die erste Serie war, die komplett per LLM geschrieben wurde. Erinnert an die unendliche Seinfeld Episode, die vor ner Weile jemand auf Twitch gestreamt hat.

We want a new door bell and we will even be able to run new wires (currently we only have 2 Wires). I would like to have video and 2 way audio locally hosted, though the most important thing is, that the base functionality (door bell button with connected wireless door chimes through the house) needs to be absolutely reliable (no random connectivity issues).

I have found the Acuvox R20A, which is seems to have all the bells and whistles about SIP (audio and video) calls. Though from its documentation it seems, that bell chimes also must use SIP, making it more depending on my network infrastructure and the self hosted SIP server (like Asterisk). I don't see a possibility to trigger a relay on button press for triggering traditional door chimes. Which is a shame, since that would be the most reliable for this basic functionality

Do you have good ideas on how to go with this? Or does it make sense, to break this up and use a more basic door bell, while also adding camera and audio additionally as separate devices?

EDIT: I now decided to buy the Reolink PoE Doorbell. It even has an official integration with Home Assistant. I will see, how good I can get the 2-way audio to run through HA or Frigate

 

Hey, I hope someone here can help me with Bazzite. I already tried to ask at a Bazzite community, though it doesn't seem to be active enough. ( link )

I failed to install Bazzite besides Windows10 (same SSD) and Ubuntu (different SSD). I got the error that grub2-mkconfig exited with code 1. It did not create an entry in my efi partition (checked in Ubuntu and only saw one Ubuntu and one Windows directory). I checked the logfile mentioned in the error dialog, though that basically just said the same. No further information.

As I wanted to overwrite an existing old ubuntu install on that SSD, I chose to install on a shared disk and then reclaimed the storage space by removing the old root and swap partition of the old Ubuntu in the resulting dialog. The partioning for Bazzite is then done automatically on the resulting free space.

Can you help me with this? All I could find online was either not fitting the problem at all and/or showing a totally different install process (probably for old Bazzite versions).

My hardware is rather old. Ryzen5 CPU, SATA SSDs and HDDs and a Geforce 1060 3GB. I hope to now completely ditch Windows with a replacement for gaming.

Thanks in advance for any help with this problem

Update: As I got the advice to do manual partioning with an additional EFI partition, I tried that. Had to create the partitions through gparted, since the partioning helper in the installer (available through the three dots menu) didn't show any disk. With this partioning I got past this error:

(Mind the flags at the EFI partition) Though then I got the next error later in the process. Result was that the new EFI partition was empty (no files) and no grub2 boot menu either.

NoneType has no attribute path

Honestly, I will probably wait for when I have more time again, and then backup everything and building up my systems from ground again. This whole mess with the disks comes mainly, because it is my old grown system with too many small disks, filling all SATA ports (so adding a disk is currently not possible. I need to do tabularasa with this to get a cleaner setup. Though that means work, to transfer everythjng to a new system

Update 2: I now solved it with money. I bought a new SSD, where I were able to install bazzite. As I also wanted to install another fedora spin on the same disk I still had to jump through some hoops (partitioning and formating in gparted, setting manual mountpoints and not formating in the installer). Not installing bazzite on a full disk is obviously buggy.

With a lot of more hoops (extra EFI disk, Nvidia driver stuff, grub boot menu chainloading) I then got a normal fedora working on the same disk.

My siblings and I are doing secret santa every christmas. I would like to self host a webapp, that will randomly appoint a secret santa for each of us. And each of us should be able to save some wishes to that app, which then only the secret santa of that person will see.

Is there something, that would fit this description? Thanks for your help

 

After I beat the beastfly and got the reward I notices these three spikes besides my needle and mask display. When I try to heal the display gets these red streaks and I do not heal a single mask. Does anyone know, what this means and how I can solve it?

Binding multiple times or sitting at a bench does not help. Thinking of the high difficulty level I don't really want to procees without being able to heal.

Kreative Schimpfwort Zensur (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by lucullus@discuss.tchncs.de to c/hopepunk_buchclub@feddit.org
 

Ich lese die deutsche Version der Bücher und da sind die Schimpfworte schon etwas eigenartig, wenn auch kreativ zensiert. Vor allem das "Fakke" anstatt "Fuck" oder "Fick" kommt häufig vor. An anderer Stelle nutzt ein Charakter dem Begriff "Penis Aktion", was dann wohl die Übersetzung von "dick move" ist.

Falls einer die englische Version hat: Werden die Schimpfworte da auch irgendwie zensiert oder abgemildert, oder ist das ein Übersetzungsding?

Ich finde das immer komisch. Das Buch wird eher nicht von kleinen Kindern gelesen und Jugendliche kommen damit doch klar. Bei den Amis erwartet man das Abmildern ja schon, deshalb die Frage nach dem Original (ist Wells Amerikanerin?)

Update: Buch 4 hat tatsächlich bisher einmal das Wort "verfickt" XD

 

Hi, maybe you can help me with some tech suggestions. At my local scouts troop I'm one of only a few guitar players. At camp fires I play the guitar and provide lead vocals, so that others can follow (which is important especially for songs, that are not well known). Because only a few can sit directly beside me and others might talk in parallel, I need to sing very loud, to give an orientation, which makes me hoarse way faster.

I would like to have something, that amplifies my voice, with decent quality (so no megaphone), a microphone fixed to my clothes or my head (as I need to play the guitar in parallel) and being portable (easy to carry, relatively small and powered via battery). I am able to spend like 200€ for it (300€ would be the hard upper limit). I can also build something myself, though I would need orientation on what to build exactly. I don't have experience with audio electronics, but with microcontrollers.

Thanks in advance for your help!
