This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I'm just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It's important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.
I'm not the one who's so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins Never did I wanna be here again And I don't remember why I came

Depends. For example in Finland the filing is done for you every year by the tax authorities and tax is deducted every month from your salary. Once a year you get either money back or need to pay more if your work situation changes during the year. You can also correct them by saying "hey I paid this bus card" etc. and get money back.
In Germany it works about the same, except they charge you quite a lot more every month. Here you do not have to file, but if you do you usually get a lot of money back. Filing is more complex than in Finland, so you might want to have a tax advisor to do it for you.
In Germany you'll get a fine and lose points from your license if you show a middle finger. Even if you're riding a bike out walking (if you have a license)...
You still need to file every year. An advisor at least here in Germany can do both countries, but you pay a premium for that.
Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:
- 2003-2008 Windows 7
- 2008-2011 Ubuntu
- 2011-2019 Arch
- 2019-2024 NixOS
Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.
Yeah. Although what if half of the country is intolerant? What then? Divide the country into two?
Yeah, I'm also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there's fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.
Been watching a movie per day for quite a long time now. There are many great ones. Just watch all the genres from all over the world and from different decades, you'll find them.
Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

A big monitor with 100% AdobeRGB is going to be very very expensive. And if you want it to be 65", you just can't find them...
And it is a monitor, meant to be watched from a close distance. It will not be such a great experience for movies and such.
That is correct.
That thing which makes Meta and Apple so scared they do not release their new products in AI anymore in the EU to pressure us to loosen up the laws. That has already been costly to these companies.
That prevents Paypal from doing this change in the EU.
The law that has been awesome so far.
The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.
Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.
Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There's also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.
I've been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:
Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you'll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

Jussi Halla-aho (Finns) boosted his support in the final stages of the campaign, but it was not enough to dislodge either of the top two presidential contenders.

I'm looking for a service I could install to archive a huge pile of letters, preferably in PDF form, to a database. I'm living in a country where paper is still king, and digital services are either non-existent, or loathed (Germany). My current situation is that I have a mailbox with lots of PDFs all over the place, but also many folders of paper sent in 2007 etc. that I have to keep, but I also have to find them every five years or so.
So what I'd like to have is a service to my homelab, where I could scan these and copy these, that would index them, clean them, OCR them and all that good stuff. It should have really good metadata abilities, because my files are usually named in a very random way, so if I could copy these, and quickly categorize them, that would be really awesome.
There is one service called Papermerge, that kind of fits to my use-case. I spent one afternoon with it, and there were a few issues:
- crashes quite often
- when sending a large folder of PDFs, uses all the CPU and crashes again
- categorizing functions are not very good, it takes time to get everything together and clean when organizing files
This might not be very interesting if your country has digital services for everything, but for us needing to suffer this paper madness, a service to do so would be great.
I'm running a small Lemmy server using the Ansible setup modified to our needs. Now, we do not post that many (if any) images, but I'm also running an Akkoma server with Cloudflare R2 setup for images, and I was wondering is there an easy way to just set the Lemmy server to use this bucket? Would be better than to just keep them lying around in the server disk for sure.
If somebody else did this, is there any written documentation on the best practices? I might need to (again) modify the Ansible scripts, but I'd love to not waste time making mistakes if there's a good way to do this.

> Akkoma is an active fork of Pleroma, which implements ActivityPub protocol underneath and serves an interface similar to microblogging platforms such as Twitter or Tumblr. It implements a complete Mastodon client API, so all Mastodon clients work with it without trouble, even the Mastodon web UI can be installed and used with Akkoma. > > Why Akkoma over Mastodon? It's written in Elixir, so it's faster and uses less resources than Mastodon. You can also define a character limit to your posts, use markdown formatting, quote posts and add emoji reactions. Perfect for small personal instances, you can run it super cheap.
oooooh it’s time iiiiit’s time i mean i usually release second saturday of the month but i’m busy next week so now it is - it’s release day! New stuff Arm64 builds!!! oh yeah arm builds. amd64 move over, OTP releases now support the aarch64 architecture! many vps providers are starting to offer...

One of my favorite films of all time. And one of my favorite movie YouTube channels. He's describing how Kubrick made the absolutely breathtaking shots in Barry Lyndon, by using mostly natural light and a very special lens from NASA.
This weekend I installed my own Lemmy instance, so I want to share the instructions to help others, who want to do the same.
I used the Ansible script and it was pretty easy. First I wanted to use my existing PosgreSQL server, what I already use for my Akkoma server. It didn't really work out that well, the migrations failed and I couldn't figure out what didn't work. Eventually I just went back using PostgreSQL on Docker. If you don't start modifying the script, and just use the dockerized PostgreSQL, you will have no problems with the installation.
What you need first is a cheap (or expensive, if you decide to invite million friends to your instance) VPS: I use Hetzner Cloud, which has been working for me super well for many years and I'm very happy with the service. I got the second cheapest AMD instance, with two cores and two gigabytes of RAM. Before buying the instance, you need to upload an SSH key to Hetzner. If you don't have one, creating is easy from the command line: ssh-keygen -t ecdsa. What you need to give to Hetzner is your public key; the one with the .pub extension in your $HOME/.ssh directory. Do not give the private key to anyone. Go with Ubuntu, might work the best with the Ansible script.
You can now SSH to the instance: ssh root@<ip-address from the Hetzner control panel>.
Next what you need is a domain name for the server. Lemmy wants an A record, and being a good internet citizen, you also get an AAAA record for the IPv6 users. I use Cloudflare for my DNS records. It's very easy to set them from their control panel. Do not set the proxy on just yet, we'll come back to that later. You can get the IP addresses from the Hetzner panel. The IPv4 you just copy, for the IPv6 you have to replace the ::/64 with ::1.
Now you should be able to ssh to your instance with the new domain name. It's time to follow the Ansible instructions for Lemmy, just run the script and see it's done correctly with no errors. When you can login to your Lemmy instance as an admin, go back to Cloudflare and turn on proxying to your A and AAAA records to hide your server IP and prevent DDOS attacks.
The first time federation is a bit slow in the beginning. Go to search in your instance, and search for !lemmy@lemmy.ml. It takes a while for the result to arrive. You can SSH to your instance, and look for the logs of your Lemmy image:

This should start showing you the federated posts in real time. Eventually your search will show up, you can click the community open and subscribe to it. Do the same for other communities what you want to follow, federate other instances and eventually you are part of the federation. It gets faster and easier for the other users, but the beginning is a bit slow.
Congratulations, you're now a Lemmy admin and part of the bigger federation.
