@clv1 Kind of... I'm thinking of a small kernel written in C / zig / rust, with either an abi or lua for extension. I want the extension to be available to users of the operating system, so that they can tinker with it. I think it might look like minix, but with support for user code execution in the kernel (probably like a lisp machine). This is my first time hearing about lisp machine and I think it's interesting. I'm thinking about what having a gabage collector in the hardware means.
I like ideas like these too. I know a few authors that could interest you. See for example the 3 links below. the two firsts are by the same author, and the third is an operating system written in the Forth language: loper-os.org/?p=284 loper-os.org/?p=8 duskos.org/

@jan @Unreed já měl kvůli tomu jednou i disciplinary, měl jsem tady babu, co řvala na celý autobus, tak jsem ji dvakrát slušně napomenul za jízdy a když to nepomohlo tak jsem zastavil na benzince a “tiše” na celý autobus jsem jí oznámil, ať to okamžitě položí, nebo si vystoupí, že my fakt nemáme zájem sledovat její posraný život (doslova). Je, to byla v office mela, tak jsem se odkázal na přepravní podmínky. Nakonec jsem dostal napomenutí za slovník 🤷♂️ ale pomohlo to, takže vlastně výhra.
@jan @Unreed máš 50 lidí v autobusu a to je jak trubka. Když někdo vzadu mluví, já mu u předního okna rozumim. Nikdo, a už vůbec ne dalších 40+ lidí, není povinnej poslouchat tvoje problémy. Tříhodinová cesta. Ani náhodou.

My phone has this reminders app, which is probably what normal people use to remind themselves to do things, and maybe I should play around with it one of these days and figure out how to use it, but, because I'm lazy/weird/whatever, I instead edit a file called .reminders on my vps, jot down a date and an hour and a note, and I have a script that cron runs that reads the file, emails the note to me when the date/time has passed, and rewrites the file to remove the note that it just sent. But, anyhow, here we go--if I mean 2026, then I'm going to have to remember to write 2026, not 2025, or things won't work the way I expect.
Thanks to those who helped out with my mindly.social issue earlier today, which turned out to be strictly my issue. Mindly.social didn’t seem to like what I was trying to change my user handle to. It appeared to object to the term “radical left scum” after my name, so after three attempts to change it to that resulted in an error message every time that went by too fast to read I settled on “antifa member” which I think makes the point almost as well.
@MikeGorse Yeah that’s what I figured as well. Probably a good thing anyway, it was one of those things that seemed like a great idea in the moment but wouldn’t have been so hot longterm.
Why would you use AI to lookup up something as basic and safety critical as tides? How have people lost the capability of just using a search engine? I don’t understand why so many people want to be spoon fed by a chat bot spouting bollocks.
Just insane, stupid, and risky as hell.
Use reputable sources for critical information. Weather and tide information are a solved problem. (Weather is not always perfect!)
Jemand meint, dass mich "Deine Augen sehen sehr weiblich aus" (hellblau und eher lange Wimpern) und "good girl" provozieren würde... Nun gut, wünsche viel Durchhaltevermögen.
I think my favourite software purchase of 2025 was a lifetime license for AdGuard. I mean, yes, I could have used one of my Raspberry Pi systems to do something similar, but, it literally took me 5 minutes to setup, while a Raspberry Pi configuration would have taken me more and then I'd have to baby it. Besides, it appealed to my inherent laziness and now I can read articles without all the ad fluff.
I've been using Pihole for 10 years, and I like that it works on literally everything on my network, even smart TVs. No need to install or configure anything for each client. My Ubiquiti gateway also has Adguard support built-in, but I've never used it.
Yes, at least until they catch up, then you get to play the cat and mouse game. There are some blacklist specifically for smart TVs, and you can set up lists in groups and assign different types of devices to different groups to apply content filtering to only those devices with specific lists and stuff. It's really neat.
@BorrisInABox It's also worth noting that Pihole is a bit misleading as to the name. I think the last time I used it on an actual pi was in 2019. I now use it on a VM sitting on one of my desktops. I know I can use docker, I'm just too lazy. The VM doesn't have to be looked after, even if the underlying hardware blows up for some reason, I just put the backup on some other thing and am satisfied. That hasn't happened yet.
@techsinger Yeah, you can run it on damn near anything, really. I am still running it on rPis because my space is just too squished to consider much else.
What happens if you stick an ebow on a mandolin? You're really supposed to use these on electric guitars, but since I don't have one here, I did this instead.
"Moderates, those with a prior of 4, made the most valid model choice and are therefore most likely to obtain the correct estimate. Hence, pro-immigration researchers in particular appear to have reached their conclusion by making less valid choices in their analysis, thereby reaching a biased conclusion. If anti- and pro-immigration researchers were similarly frequent, such a bias may cancel out. However, pro-immigration researchers outnumber anti-immigration researchers and moderates, whose analyses are most reliable combined. The results is a literature containing mainly a small share of moderates doing rigorous research and a larger group of ideologically motivated pro-immigration “researchers” who torture the data until they “find” a pro-immigration message."
How long would it take a group of motivated individuals to make a modern computer, if they were sent to Earth as it existed in e.g. the 18th century, and given an artifact to communicate with Earth as it exists now.
Just got an email saying, "Hello, your book is amazing, is this inbox active for discussion?" If I replied, then I'd have to ask, "what book?" Maybe I have amnesia and have a book that somehow I have no memory of writing.
We had a fantastic Christmas with our chosen family. The Boxing Day head cold is something I could certainly do without though. Throat and sinuses are killing me!
Please boost for reach. I had a conversation with a friend last night, and we agreed it is about time my website got a massive reorganization. As part of this, some files will be removed for various reasons, mostly because they have little to no practical value and aren't worth keeping around. Over the next several days, I will be reorganizing on my local side, and the changes will go live starting January 1st of 2026. I would like to apologize for broken links that will be present in the future, however I feel that is a small price to pay considering the circumstances.
@cubic What about the various pieces of vintage software? I'm particularly thinking of things in utilities, old jaws versions, window-eyes and tts folders? A lot of it isn't hosted anywhere else that I know of. Also the BGZ audio archive. Either way thanks for all the work you've put into hosting this site for all this time
@pitermach @cubic Thanks for the support. Nothing with major historical significance such as the things you mentioned are going away. I am mostly removing things such as audio files that make myself and other individuals cringe.
If you just got a computer (holiday or otherwise) and are thinking of installing Linux on it, shoot me your questions!
I'm going to collect a bunch of them for an upcoming livestream, maybe this weekend after holiday parties are wrapped! Either that or next week sometime.
You can ask me here or ask (at) veronicaexplains (dot) net.
Not so happy. Financially, 2025 was probably the worst year I had since I started translating for a living. I lost most of my long time clients - retirement, sickness etc. - and new ones are hard to find. So I am on self promotion now - anyone here who wants his English book translated into German? No option for you? Talk to me. Most of my authors are glad for the additional income. References on my blog - see profile. #translations #books #writing #author
In some cases you may want to remove an application entirely from your phone. If you are a bit tech-savvy you can enable USB debugging, plug your phone to the computer, install ADB (android debugger) and then remove the APK (best case) or if that's not possible, totally disable it for your user.
Here's the command to do it for Google's password manager, for instance:
let me give you the best options 1 use canta with shizuku app and uninstall all goo(💩) gle things like : maps, browser, files, messages, Google, playstore, play services (if possible or just disconnect full internet connection a'd no update) Gmail, gemini, photos, utube, utube music, Google contact & dialer Now remove all unnecessary permissions from gallery phone message. Remove location permission Set camera & microphone permission to ask everytime Use opensource apps from f-droid
8. Disable google advertising ID in phone settings
9. Install F-Droid where you can discover many FLOSS apps deliberately not published on google play
10. Switch from a fingerprint to a pin (added bonus that police in several countries can legally force your thumb onto your phone but cant legally force you to give up a pin)
11. Switch from google notification servers to something else like microg and/or set notifications to not display message content or at least not display message content when the phone is locked (Im pretty sure all that can be done from notification settings)
12. Switch from googles keyboard app to an open source alternative from f-droid (google has been fined millions before for illegally and secretly tracking geolocation it wouldnt surprise me if they do the same with keystrokes, and also mic and camera)
13. There's a bunch of other phone-home features spread across the settings but mostly under privacy category and accessibility category that you might want to turn off if you have no use for
every new phone I already do this 1st before turning on Wi-Fi. Disable everything I can. Install brave, Vivaldi, fossify apps, netguard (block everything I can), nova launcher, OSMand + CoMaps....
Your smartphone surveils you by design. GrapheneOS transforms a Pixel into private hardware you actually control. Here's why it matters and how to do it.
I am slowly shifting to using a reductionist definition of phone ("an implement for transferring voice across a distance, and only for that") and thinking of the rest of the modern "phone" as some kinda distraction rectangle. :D
I have had one issued, and it gives me trust issues. Strictly speaking it is unneeded. Makes for a handy notepad and online communicator (within my personal/work device separation rule) - though I could just use an actual notepad and call people using the IP phones that we got everywhere anyway.
Am I missing something really obvious, or is there no way to create an aggregate audio device on Mac OS Tahoe? I can't find the button to add a new device in Audio MIDI Setup.
Is the feature actually removed or is it just not accessible? In the latter case there's at least some hope to get it back eventually... Not going to upgrade until that happens.
@tuukkao @klittle667 It's still there, try tabbing from the audio device table. For some reason the VO cursor can't reach it. I nearly got a heart attack when this first happened.

Hello fellow homelabbers. I want to use domains instead of the raw IP adresses in my home network. First thought was that using Adguard Home as local DNS Server for that. Good idea or are the any caveats using that software? Or is there any better DNS solution with a gui? #homelab @homelab @homelab_de
I'm looking into that as well. My problem is that even if I used something like pi hole as DNS, I'd still get https security warnings because no or selfsigned certificate. Looking for a solution for that.
“It’s always DNS” is a famous meme among network people. Name resolution is technically quite simple. It’s “just” translating a hostname like jan.wildeboer.net to an IP address.
I went by registering a domain and use FQDN inside my homelab and use certbot with dns01 challenge.
Downside is that you either have to put internal machines in authoritative DNS or use a subdomain internally and intercept all of those internally via your piHole server.

@bjoern@sengotta.net @homelab @homelab_de I can only underline what @jwildeboer@wildeboer.net already wrote - install your own CA using #step-ca.
Once all is up and running, SSL certificates and warnings turn into a no-issue in your home network. I've done that a few months ago and have not thought about them once since then.
Free DNS hosting, lets you fully manage your own domain. Dynamic DNS and Static DNS services available. You may also create hosts off other domains that we host upon the domain owners consent, we have several domains to choose from!
@homelab@fedigroups.social_de it’s fairly straightforward to set up your own internal CA and add it to your system / browser’s trust store. You can do it with openssl or with a GUI tool like xCA.
Or, apparently, step-ca is a thing, which should let you use an ACME client to automate issuing internal certs hub.docker.com/r/smallstep/ste…
or you use letsencrypt with dns-01 challenge if you own a domain. you don't need to let any traffic into your home network, the validation is done via dns records and you obtain a publicly trusted certificate that you can just use locally
I’ll revisit the dns challenge when letsencrypt adds the static entry option DNS-PERSIST-01 [1]. Right now you need to dynamically update dns for this to work.
Let’s Encrypt will be reducing the validity period of the certificates we issue. We currently issue certificates valid for 90 days, which will be cut in half to 45 days by 2028.
tbh it is relatively easy to write a hookscript for dehydrated that for eg talks to the powerdns api which is what I do / the public facing auth dns server software I use where I need automation
I am just too lazy to get that done, so instead I run my own CA for my Homelab ;) My public servers/services use the HTTP challenge with letsencrypt. @kate @abulling @jonathan859 @bjoern @homelab
If anyone ever feels like researching some deep background regarding authoritarian and fascist developments ... i highly recommend a text from Étienne De La Boétie from the 16th century. It still captures something crucial, "voluntary servitude", that is often left out from leftist discourses because we prefer to not admit we are all susceptible to *voluntarily* succumb to authoritarians ... nonresistance.info/docs_pdf/Vo…
high recommend on this short and succicnt take on LLM/AI from Joseph de Weck, tracing longer paths back to Kant and his arguments for making up your own mind to obtain freedom, and Erich Fromm who highlighted delegating authority and responsibility to "others" is a major factor in growing fascism
Since the Enlightenment, we’ve been making our own decisions. But now AI may be about to change that, says Joseph de Weck, a fellow with the Foreign Policy Research Institute
Guten Morgen! Ein Update zum Knie: Es hat ein neues Pflaster. Die Stelle muss wohl noch länger heilen und ist sehr berührungsempfindlich. Ich werde das Knie heute also sehr schonen. Ein weiterer Spaziergang muss also noch etwas warten. Euch einen schönen zweiten Weihnachtstag!
I contacted customer support and made an appeal. They very quickly responded that I'm permanently suspended from the platform (and Stripe) because my *Mastodon* profile (@alice) associates me with @AltAfterDark.
So, that's that.
""" ... your account has been permanently deactivated due to a violation of the Terms of Use related to adult content. Please note that even if adult content is posted on other websites, it can still lead to account review and banning... """
I'll be looking for another way to accept tips (as it's kinda my lifeline); if you have any suggestions that *don't* involve platforms that'll ban me for posting some wholesome-ish adult content *on my own social media profile*, I'd live to hear them.
Watch BuyMeACoffee/Stripe send me a cease and desist for posting about them banning me.
Then watch Fedi Streisand Effect the shit out of that.
I'm sure they're already going to lose a (insignificant to them) chunk of money over this, because not only will they not be taking 10-20% of my tips, but whenever I call out a company here for being shitty, I get dozens of replies from folx canceling their accounts there.
My 92 year old aunt: You do the Leenux thing, right? You need to come over sometime and install it for me, because f#ck all I ain't gonna update to Windows 11.
Me: .... ?!#!?
I explain what the change-over entails and that I generally don't recommend it just because...
Aunt: No, f#ck that, f#ck capitalism, my laptop is still fine, so come over and set me up with that Leenux thing.
