I see. Surely that means that the source files have to be structured in a certain way then. If a design for a piece of print media was flattened to a single rasterised layer, or a video project had all the effects baked into the clips, a freelancer could deliver in the right format, but that file would be much less useful than if every operation was preserved non-destructively. I would think some artists wouldn’t want to just give away how they achieve certain effects.

I don’t know if that’s much of a thing in creative fields, or if there are conventions on things like keeping text as text, not editing it as vectors or pixels.

Ah, I see. I guess that varies by client but you wouldn’t want to limit the work you take like that. That’s a difficult situation to change.

Why would a freelancer need to follow an industry standard? Do you have to share project sources with clients in proprietary formats rather than just the final output formats?

There are still opposite charges - each colour has an ‘anti’-colour. So R+R=colourless G+G=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.

You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it’s worth.

I see. mygpo is the code that runs gpodder.net. I guess it could be self-hosted, but it doesn’t look straight forward to do so. I missed it since in the docs it’s under the developer section, not the user section. gpoddersync seems much easier as long as you’re ok using Nextcloud. It would be nice if mygpo were packaged for Nix or docker. Maybe I’ll give that a go at some point.

That doesn’t clarify anything for me. Is the client application also the service, or are they (as I believe) two different things with the same name?

What I’m really getting at is that FreshRSS is self-hostable and as far as I can tell - gPodder isn’t.

I don’t think I understood what gPodder is. The website says gpodder.net is a sync service, but doesn’t seem to indicate that it can be self hosted. The list of clients has gPodder listed as a desktop PC client to gpodder.net. Does the desktop client also work as a server?

AntennaPod can sync to gpodder.net (only at that url?). When I tried it I got a load of timeouts. Instead I enabled the gpoddersync NextCloud app to my own server. That worked like a charm between AntennaPad and kasts on PC.

Infrared lasers aren’t visible. They’re still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it’s predominantly blue coloured green.

I bet that kid doesn’t even know what a computer is.

I would say don’t give DOGE any ideas but I think that’s less bad than some of their own.

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” Palestinians get 33%.

Barrier is only for inputs IIRC. To get Keyboard Mouse and Video (more usually KVM) you need some kind of remote desktop software. Rustdesk is pretty straightforward. I think Gnome handles RDP access natively now if you’re running a Gnome based Linux distro. Otherwise XRDP is a bit of a faff, but solid once it’s working.

That’s a biblically accurate implementation if ever I’ve seen one.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I’m not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there’s two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.

Not that it particularly matters for just queries. The problem is that DHCP can only be enabled on one host. If that one fails then devices can’t get on to the network themselves. I’d like to know a good way to have a failover DHCP server - my janky cronjob isn’t great.

Where do you do DHCP? I had a primary pihole with DHCP enabled and a secondary with a cron job that enabled DHCP if the primary was down or disabled it if the primary was working. The cron job did sync DHCP leases from one to the other but it was a bit janky. I tried to update the secondary to pihole v6 and hosed it so I have no backup for now. I’d like to re-image the secondary and get a better setup - when I have time.

Edit to say I really wanted to try keepalived - that’s really cool to fail over without clients noticing.

Solar photovoltaic doesn’t involve steam. We can be solarpunk as well!

I guess hydro-power uses steam in the global water cycle so I’ll give you that. Radio-Thermal Generators are all solid state, but not much power on earth comes from them.

Think of the speeds you could fly at with no drag! I’m so bummed that the Grace Hopper drone didn’t get to fly after Intuitive Machines fluffed their second landing. That would have been awesome outreach from NASA.

We want drones on the moon!

I don’t quite understand what the backlash is here. The article is about FAQs on the Mozilla website. It seems reasonable that some people might interpret “sell” to be accepting money to set the default browser to Google. Clarifying that on their site seems fine. The FAQ was surely never legally binding.

Their ‘Terms of Use’ document is new as of Feb 26 AFAIK. Is that what people are upset by?
