Are there advantages to this over self hosting Vaultwarden?

I got a mini pc (e.g. a NUC). I did this after the price for rasps went sky high. Check out used NUCs, you can get a lot of power for the price.

I backup Proxmox VMs and templates onto my NAS, and from there into the cloud. If you don’t want the cloud maybe auto backup to an external drive and keep it somewhere safe (out of range of a possible disaster to your home)

They don’t really care why, just don’t say anything that trashes your current employer or makes you look bad.

I went with a Synology and have been very happy with it. Easy to use, very nice GUI, yet quite powerful with the features provided.

From there I moved on to NUC. I used to host several things through Docker on the Synology but I’m now moving many of those things to the NUC.

Very well thought out post. It seems like they are considering pretty big measures. I think the next logical place to go for them is to whitelist instead of blacklist. Sucks for self hosters, but in general gives Beehaw what they want.

Moderation tools seem to be the biggest problem for the poster. They also say the devs don’t see it as a priority. They say they’ve even offered bounties to add better tool support. Moderation tools get brought up all the time on Lemmy—I agree that it should be the main focus or development right now TBH.

I have a 5g home internet backup connection. My primary internet is fiber, so my thinking if there is a cut somewhere it could also affect cable, so I use over the air as my backup.

He should have been. Especially after the photos of Abu Ghraib came out. But it is the U.S. so he payed no penalties.

Yes please

the switch to USB-C means the new devices cannot be charged with existing Lightning chargers that they may already own.

Ok, makes sense. Although it was dumb of me I wondered if the phone would come with both ports.

Apple staff will be trained to caution that while a USB-C to USB-C cable is included in the box, a USB-C charger is not

Ugh really? Come on Apple, you’re switching to a new port. Just put the charger in with this one generation at least.

Having the e2e smokes be a requirement for PR merge is frustrating. But I’ve been on the fence before with this on my own teams. It’s enticing to have a completely “clean” main branch that has not been infested with regressions caused by a PR.

It also gives you confidence in the crummy cases where you need to push a fix to prod right now.

If the e2e’s flap too much, then it is not an option. I’ve tried it and it lasts one sprint before we nix it. It’s just too frustrating and development comes to a standstill.

We have a retry policy on any smokes that need to run in a step by step order, and we aggressively prune and remove smokes that frequently fail or don’t test for real issues.

I actually think that’s the best way to handle it.

Who fixes the issues that the smokes find?

On teams I’ve been on, typically a junior dev. Sounds crummy, but it actually gives them more experience with the product/code. I have been that junior dev before and I found it a positive experience.

Ugh, what a mess. Thought about this for a while today and three thoughts started circulating in my head:

1. Hire an actual lawyer and get firm legal advice on this issue. I think this would fall to the admins, not the devs. Maybe an admin who wanted could volunteer to contact a lawyer? We could do a gofundme for one-time consultation legal fees.

2. Stop using pictrs completely and instead use links to a third party such as Imgur or whatever. They’re in this business and I’m sure already have dealt with it and have a solution. Yes it sucks that Imgur (or whatever third party) could delete our legitimate images at any time, but IMHO it’s worth it to avoid this headache. At any rate it offloads the liability from an admin. Of course, IANAL and this is a question we would want to ask a lawyer about.

3. Needing a GPU increases the expenses for an admin significantly. It will start to not be worth it for quite a few to keep their instance running.

Thanks for bringing up this point. This is obviously a nuanced issue that is going to need a well-thought-out solution.

I was thinking the same thing. Stop storing the images and offload to Imgur or whatever. They likely already have a solution for this issue. Show images inline instead of a link. Looks the same, no liability.

Saying that, this is tremendously cool. I was given pause though by another poster on the thread mentioning the legality of using this in the U.S.

LMAO. So, so true and I have no problem with it. Self-hosted seems to be one of the most active communities on Lemmy. I learn a lot and y’all all seem cool.

Good. IMHO all governments should post to open source rather than proprietary systems.

How ironic it would be if somebody showered them with riches to go and create mayhem within Russia. My experience of mercenaries is that they are not too picky about whose money they take.

That’s an interesting take I hadn’t considered. There are plenty of parties who could pay more than Russia. They’d just need to find a way to do it without being caught.

“I feel like it was a political indictment, but I absolutely believe it’s true. And that’s my problem with Trump.” But if Trump wins the GOP nomination and faces a rematch against Biden, she’ll reluctantly vote for him, she said.

What?! So she does believe the indictments against Trump are true, but will vote for a criminal to lead the country?

7 out of 10 Republicans view Trump favorably. It’s nuts.

Gotta ban something (/s)

Yeah, it happens pretty frequently actually. Right now it is Executive + Senate vs House.

It means deadlock but not total deadlock. Just more compromise.

Now if it is Executive + House vs Senate as in your question, that has some new conflicts. The Senate confirms judicial appointments, so often in this situation the president’s nominees have a very hard time getting confirmed.

Holy crap DeSantis has triple the war chest of Trump and Haley has more than half of Trump. I did not know that.

If I ran one of Trump’s super pacs I would be irate with him and his legal expenses. I’d be bailing and support a candidate ASAP who isn’t wasting my money.
