  • Well I for one have had nothing but trouble. The matrix.org instance is massive and laggy. The few private instances I tried weren't federated as far and wide as I needed it to be. Self-hosting Synapse was miserable with federation turned on.

    I wish it was better

  • With self-install solar panels, and a €150 plug-in adapter that feeds power directly into electricity sockets; a DIY home power system is becoming popular in Europe.
  • Do you know where I live? That isn't legal here. It doesn't just need approval, it needs to be installed by the power company and they're not going to do that because they have massive tax incentives to only install systems that backflow into the grid during overproduction. Just to be clear: You are not allowed to have a closed system with panels over a certain combined size. You are not allowed to connect anything that backflows into your walls (for safety reasons, regardless of if the thing claims to turn itself off in a power outage). If you go all in and do it properly, the power company (monopoly, you have no choice) will simply tax you what they lost or, incase of backflow, tax you 'transmission fees' for whatever you would have earned.

    The only people who have solar panels here are rich yuppies who want to virtue signal because it makes zero financial sense to have them. Right wing lobby groups have made sure that consumers and municipalities are disincentivized from running solar panels anywhere for any reason and illegal in any niches where it might've still made sense.

  • Horizontal turbines are better if you have space. Verticals are better if you don't. Verticals are popular in the hobby space because they take up so little space and require less of an engineering degree to maintain (... generally). I can see why they would put verticals on their roof over horizontals if they want to extract wind in a low-profile low-maintenance kind of way.

    e: this is a dumb comment and I regret making it. What I was referring to was literally right in the opening of the article:

    Eric Maurice, researcher at the European Policy Centre, said there are numerous factors behind the discontent.

    ''It's true that on the one hand, we can see in the election results a rise in the extremes, in the radical forces, on both the right and the left, with an increasingly uninhibited political language, in verbal violence, in ad hominem attacks in political debate too. And then a radicalisation, a polarisation of society and a difficulty in debating with political adversaries who often become enemies,'' he said.

    I read the title, made a bunch of assumptions and then posted my comment without reading the article.

  • I'm no expert but as far as I've understood it you need to generally have a very good understanding of the train you're driving, equivalent to an actual engineering degree, because you're the person who has to call central and tell them what's wrong with your train when something happens and "It doesn't go forward" isn't useful.

    Debian+i3, run scrot from i3 config with symbind

    I'm trying to invoke scrot with a bindsym so I have a keyboard shortcut to take screenshots

    This command works when run as a one-liner or as a bash .sh: save_dir="/home/dork/apache/drkt.eu/subdomains/u/"; random_name=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 6 | head -n 1).png; scrot -s "$save_dir/$random_name"; echo -n "https://u.drkt.eu/$random_name" | xsel --clipboard It does not work when ran by i3 bindsym $mod+Shift+Z exec bash -c save_dir="/home/dork/apache/drkt.eu/subdomains/u/"; random_name=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 6 | head -n 1).png; scrot -s "$save_dir/$random_name"; echo -n "https://u.drkt.eu/$random_name" | xsel --clipboard

    i3 reports an error when the above is run, but not when as a shell script, though neither work. I assume that's just because bash is eating the error and not reporting it back to i3

    This is the error when ran as a one-liner: ``` ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600000 ERROR: Received ExposeEvent for unknown window 0x00600000 ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600000 ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600007 ERROR: Received ExposeEvent for unknown window 0x00600007 ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600007 ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x0060000a ERROR: Received ExposeEvent for unknown window 0x0060000a ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x0060000a ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x0060000d ERROR: Received ExposeEvent for unknown window 0x0060000d ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x0060000d ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600010 ERROR: Received ConfigureNotify for unknown window 0x00600010 ERROR: Expected one of these tokens: <end>, '[', 'move', 'exec', 'exit', 'restart', 'reload', 'shmlog', 'debuglog', 'border', 'layout', 'append_layout', 'workspace', 'focus', 'kill', 'open', 'fullscreen', 'sticky', 'split', 'floating', 'mark', 'unmark', 'resize', 'rename', 'nop', 'scratchpad', 'swap', 'title_format', 'title_window_icon', 'mode', 'bar', 'gaps' ERROR: Your command: exec bash -c save_dir="/home/dork/apache/drkt.eu/subdomains/u/"; random_name=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 6 | head -n 1).png; scrot -s "$save_dir/$random_name"; echo -n "https://u.drkt.eu/$random_name" | xsel --clipboard ERROR: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ /run/user/1000/i3/errorlog.1235 (END)

    ```

    I am open to alternatives if there is a better way to do this than the i3 config!

    Lemmy instance without federated images

    I'm on the edge of hosting my own lemmy instance but I have a problem of the theoretically infinitely ballooning space requirements.

    Are there any options for not saving all the federated images locally? I'd settle for a jank solution such as wiping it via cron or similar.

    Thank you
