Got 7 or 8 / 14 rule
  • Vaping would be a deal breaker for me. Besides being douchy, I just plain don’t like it, just how I hate smoking. Piercings I probably wouldn’t like outa taste, but someone who can think for themselves is a must otherwise I’d get bored quickly. Not being able to cook would be somewhat problematic as I can’t cook well either, soooo…

  • EU suspends 4 more Russian propaganda outlets
  • Shouldn’t happen. The moment you want to “protect” your people, you’ve become authoritarian. If you can’t trust your people to reject russia propaganda, how can you trust them to elect their own leaders?

  • How can we improve the judicial system that monitors our politicians deals (spotting for fraud, corruption) when it is not in the interest of anybody involved?
  • By making sure a lot of people have a small stake in it, and making sure that everyone involved is afraid to be fired if things are not properly handled.

    The judicial system in my country, Portugal, is a moderate example of success (when it comes to not being too partisan, effectiveness and speed is not good, mostly due to legislative and governing incompetence, and incompetence from public prosecutors), but the basic way it works afaik is that the superior council of magistrates, which is tasked with supervising judges has a 40% stake internally elected (by other judges), a 40% stake by parliament and a 20% stake by the President.

    Because the government is parliament bound and is NOT the President, then the executive power is separate from the president.

    Finally, here the president has a more “cerimonial role” with his real power being fundamentally to be a last resort when all turns to chaos. So far it has worked well-ish

  • Intel's new Thunderbolt Share provides file and screen sharing without hurting network performance
  • Yeah, I’ve used third party software to get tablets as wireless monitors, but it has mostly sucked. Hopefully it’ll be opened soon. Tho if they started with it closed, that’s how it’ll remain. Apple has the target disk mode, but doesn’t the laptop need to be shut down for it to work? Besides, APFS or whatever they use is useless when compared to literally anything else

  • Xperia 1vi Announcement live stream
  • If we make it more exclusive, people feel special and want to buy it. If we make it even more exclusive, more people will want it. If we don’t sell it at all, everyone will want it, and we’ll make a bunch of money!

  • Far-right EU election gains could boost nationalist parties on home turf
  • Mainstream parties have two options right now: either addressing immigration in a humane way (making migrant processing faster, putting some low bars on immigration, like a 6th grade exam in the country’s language) or they wait until those guys deal with them the wrong way

  • Customising keyboard layouts Fedora KDE Wayland

    Hey there fellas!

    As stated in the title I'd like to customise my keyboard layout, specifically, swapping the super and the control keys as I am using a mac (fedora asahi remix), and as such, it makes more sense to globally alter this instead of manually creating all the necessary shortcuts

    Monetising spare computers

    Hey! So I have two spare computers, with 7th gen i5s and 16GB of ram. What would be the best way to try and monetise them? I’ve found one or two websites which allow you to rent out your servers essentially as a VPS on a fairly long term way with a decent payout. However I tried sending them an email and got no response. Are there any other such services?

    (The website was this )

    My few remaining gripes with linux

    It's mostly libinput. Why the hell can't I easily change scroll speed on Gnome and not on KDE? Why does gnome have a simple tool (gnome tweaks) to change the trackpad cooldown to change the time trackpad doesn't work as a substitute for good palm rejection and KDE doesn't? Why is it a bit of a pain in both to change trackpad gestures? Why am I hearing again about God damn redesigning the settings placement on most desktop environments.

    Edit: I love both KDE and Gnome, and I think that they're great. But it kinda hurts to see them fail on what seem like relatively simple things

    Privacy basics, can anyone help?

    Hello there! Im looking for increased privacy when it comes to my network connections. So far I know of TOR as an almost absolute bastion of security, but how do I ensure the remaining network traffic is encrypted and private? I know of signal for communication, and I’m aware of VPN’s. However I’m not sure whether to trust most providers regarding government interference as their software often isn’t open source. Is there a federated VPN of sorts, similar to how lemmy and other fediverse apps work?

    "Decentralised VPN"-is it bullcrap or not?

    Hey there fellas! My father found this crap online. It immediately triggered my bull crap detectors. Is it actually something worth checking out, or snake oil?

    How do I implement wake up on lan (WoL)?

    I'm running an old server at home, an IBM system x3400 m3, rocking two x5675 intel processors.

    I currently have Windows Pro (NOT Server) installed on it and connected to it remotely through Parsec (opened a port on my router). I've tried using duckDNS to associate my IP with a domain, and got the service running on my server to automatically refresh the IP.

    This server is my primary rig, used for gaming but also to host my family's photos through Plex and backup photos from phones through Resilio file Sync.

    However, the server doesn't have the best power consumption, so I'd like to use WoL to remotely turn it on. I've enabled it in the BIOS, have checked the drivers to enable it, and tried using TeamViewer to use Wake on Lan, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Any suggestions on how to remotely turn it on? (the server also has KVM I think, or at least an apparently useless network port, tho I'm not exactly sure what that does)

    Why are there so many bots all lemmy?

    Most postings on lemmy are simply Reddit “archive” bots. Why is this so prevalent?
