I’m now using Fedora CoreOS which can be deployed from config files. It’s really neat to be able to define everything the way you need it and just start up the VM with no further config necessary. I’m using podman to manage my services.

If you are running Windows […]

and

from June 2015 until the present, affecting v3.2.1 through v5.0.0 inclusive. The behaviour does not appear to be replicated for other OS variants

I use a lot of comments in config files, and in the past I’ve also used bookstack to make documentation (something I should probably do again). You’re right that docker (especially docker compose) has helped with this immensely.

I honestly don’t think NK is expecting them to come back. That would allow them to desert with reduced risk. I’m sure some of them are at least considering it, or will be soon.

There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don’t get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I’ve ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.

You’d need to set up Plex media server to go this route: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

Personally I host via Docker.

It might be a little overkill if you don’t have other media, though, and it’s not fully open source.

Sorry, should have worded that differently. I was referring to the layoffs.

You are completely missing their point. The plugin repo and updates are hardcoded to use WordPress’s servers, that’s the issue here. Yes, you can totally self host WordPress, you don’t need something like cpanel (in fact, I don’t see how it’s relevant to this discussion, and I think the last time I used that archaic backend was in 2015), but if you want access to the plugin repo + automated plugin updates, you are unfortunately impacted by this BS.

Why be rude to people who are just trying to explain the issue to you?

Disgusting.

Videos suck for topics like this. I’m not about to watch a video that should just be an article.

Yep, a bastion is what you’re looking for. I use an rpi + a Dynamic DNS record in a script on the pi to automatically update firewall and ssh rules if my IP updates. Of course, you may need to do some configuration depending on their network setup.

I just pay for my own ARL when I want to use deemix (I had no idea people were sharing ARLs).

I would never buy anything made by Meta, even if it was the best around.

Since the title wasn’t clear on who the author is classifying as ordinary:

There are also the hundreds of thousands of Russians who left home because they did not want to have anything to do with Vladimir Putin’s war — or were forced out, accused of not embracing it enough. These low-profile dissenters are subjected to surveillance and kidnappings, too. Yet their repression happens in silence — away from the spotlight and often with the tacit consent, or inadequate prevention, of the countries to which they have fled.

Also:

Some of the methods are especially insidious. Lev Gyammer, an exiled activist in Poland, has been receiving texts for two years, supposedly from his mother. “Levushka, son, I miss you so, when will you visit me?” Another reads, “Son, I’m waiting for you. Come back soon.” He ignores them: His mother, Olga, died five years ago. Another Russian expatriate — whose elderly parents are still alive and very sick — chose to believe it when his parents’ nurse of many years told him, over the phone, of a fire in their apartment. He rushed home from Finland and was immediately taken to prison and tortured, according to Mr. Smirnov. Of course, there never was a fire.

Those who cannot be tricked back to Russia are subjected to surveillance. An employee of an organization that supports L.G.B.T.Q. people was walking her dog around the neighborhood in Tbilisi, Georgia, when she noticed that she was being followed by a drone. It was an evening in early May — two years since she’d fled Russia with the rest of her colleagues. She hurried back to hide at her apartment but could still hear the buzzing. She followed the noise to the balcony and came face to face with the device, hanging there within arm’s reach.

I have this level1techs KVM which can drive my 5120x1440 @ 120hz monitor (without DSC) AND my 3840x2160 @ 240hz monitor (also without DSC). It’s $450, but Wendell and level1techs are great and it’s well worth the price.

I’m running Fedora on one host and Ubuntu on the other. With Windows, you can use DSC to drive huge resolutions at 240hz.

Ok 👍
