They are used to getting “non-political” content because Reddit kicked out the “political” people and closed the “political” subs.

Going to the place that those people and communities now reside and complaining that everything feels “political” is ridiculous, but there might be good reasons why a person would do it, like you said.

You’re right that it’s not unreasonable to ask for what they’re asking for. That’s why I tried my god damnedest to clearly and kindly explain that this might not be the right place for them. Not everywhere needs to be for everyone. It’s not an insult to tell someone they’re looking for the library, this is the bus terminal.

Others are espousing different ways to harness the technology using blocks and a subscription feed. If someone believes that an alternative to corporate social media should be for everyone (an explicitly political belief!) then that will be borne out by successful block and sub use. The user might also not succeed at using those tools. In that case they don’t have to stay. They can recognize that they want the curated, “nonpolitical” experience of Reddit. I am not making a judgement of them for wanting that, only recommending they go and get what they want.

That’s what the landscape of sleep is like.

E: The just read the thread and at this moment half the responses are some variation of “yeah I tried a bunch of stuff and it doesn’t work” and the other half are “it works perfectly for my precise state definition on this particular piece of hardware”. My comment is 100% correct and useful information about the state of sleep in Linux at the moment.

Not everything is a fight. Consider reading people’s comments and posts in the voice of miss rachel or something.

If you have to ask you won’t be able to get it working.

The op is welcome here. When they don’t want to be here they’re welcome to not be.

They can leave. It’s not a bad thing. It’s not an admonition or reprisal for me to say that.

Lemmy was created because of Reddit censoring political content.

If you don’t wanna see political stuff go to a different website.

The above is not a value judgement. If I did not want to be exposed to the sun and the public then I wouldn’t go to a park. If I did not want to be exposed to loud car sounds and screaming fans I wouldn’t go to the racetrack. It’s okay that you don’t want to see political stuff (you should think critically about what you think is political and why). You don’t need to go to lemmy or any other fediverse thing. You can just be a Redditor.

lovingly, with approval and understanding go away.

It’s just a website with information you can read, I don’t wanna tell you what to think about that information or what conclusions to draw!

All conclusions drawn are the readers own.

Enjoy the reading material.

What’s sad is there’s good posts to be made in a Linuxsucks community. The Debian intelligence apparatus takeover/murder-suicide pact alone could keep it going for a year.

The girl reading this.

Without metadata, municipal area. For larger cities that could be at the street or building level, for out in the country it’s wherever your ISPs trunk or fiber breakout is.

With metadata, often times right to your front door. With the isps metadata absolutely to your door.

Yeah, it’s more of a personal preference thing.

I would recommend against doing that to begin with since plug in kitchen appliances especially need to respond in a safe way to shorts and even the basic barrier to entry that some weird screw presents is enough to make a person who might inadvertently kill themselves or someone else slow their roll.

But you can for a very low price acquire the tools to allow you to open many objects.

If it bothers you, buy a thread gauge and replace the triangle head with something you like better.

I just booted up my copy and to remediate what I’m going out on a limb and assuming is the problem, you’d want to run level 3.

It reads and rewrites every block on the device which, if your slow ssd operations on boot are due to the ssd controller having to try to read a block a bunch of times in order to actually get the contents of the block and pass it down the bus, will speed up the ssd operations that reference frequently read blocks. Like the ones used during the decryption and boot process.

That wiki article is incredibly out of date. The reference for only using level 1 or 2 is from 2013.

E: also I like 4 because ssd endurance is not a big deal and ssds lowkey suck and need to be tested before I use em.

It’s sorted by length because you invoked the blame flag. The blame flag lists the output by start time.

Systemd is multithreaded so it’s not like all this stuff happens in sequence. If that were the case you’d have a computer that takes five minutes to boot.

The tpm is the thing that takes the longest because it has to check a bunch of shit. You can’t do anything about the tpm because you’re using it for encryption and measured boot.

You’re also looking at the wrong thing. Look at all the 3s sections where the system is fiddle fucking around with the ssd. Run spinrite lvl3 or 4 so all those sectors the ssd has to try to read 69000 times get rewritten and see if that doesn’t speed things up.

E: spinrite lvl3

2017 and previous airs and 2016 and previous pros have replaceable storage.

If you’re doing surveillance of people for extrajudicial reasons, constantly need to report crime or are just slurping up all the images of what goes on around your location for some project then it might be useful.

For responding practically to sudden and unexpected crime, dumb game cameras are the goat. They’re cheap, completely self contained, simple, relatively camouflaged (at the very least they’re not a black dome or a hooded ptz up in the corner) and when you need to turn footage over to the cops you can give them the “originals” (the sd card) and keep a copy if they require the originals.

It’s not possible to avoid llm use in volunteer open source development if you prioritize software quality and security.

Whether we want it or not, people looking for bugs are using llms. They are finding phenomenal numbers of bugs. Implementing the fixes has created a huge workload.

Whether we want it or not, the Wayland people have decided that a new, piecemeal system for graphical desktops that relies on many disparate implementations of protocols is what we will use going forward. This has created a tremendous workload because there are now many different channels through which bugs and updates must be handled.

In this situation a volunteer development community must rely on every work saving tool they can just to keep up. For the person in the trenches there is no alternative.

If you prioritize quality as measured by the extent to which your software supports the various Wayland doohickies or security as measured by active exploitable bugs, you have to use llms.

These conditions will eventually remove the structure of incentives for open source development.

None of the above is a value judgement.

the reason I didnt address anything you asked earlier is because I don’t think people generally need this crap and it’s probably a mistake for me to have explained how a person can make semi decent decisions about rolling their own.

Ram doesn’t matter. You can buy more, yes even when it’s expensive. The reason it doesn’t matter if that your needs will vary wildly based on your workload. I don’t know your workload so I can’t recommend an amount of ram. Maybe start with 16gb for a few cameras and a zpool based storage.

You want an old server because consumer hardware has no pcie lanes and is in general designed around a short duty cycle which is how you get such great “efficiency” numbers out of consumer equipment compared to a computer designed to reliably run 24/7. Of course your computer isn’t using any electricity, it’s not fucking doing anything.

The os doesn’t actually matter. Just use whatever you can keep running reliably. If you need to ask what you can keep running reliably then buy an off the shelf solution.

Don’t use proxmox or some hypervisor. The whole point isn’t to have a cool hackerman surveillance room with a bunch of screens like in the movies, it’s to have a reliable record of what your cameras captured. Fewer things to fail is better.

If you need to ask if a raspberry pi is appropriate then a raspberry pi is not appropriate. That’s true in all situations but here’s why it’s true here: you would only use a sbc for this application because you either don’t have anything else or you’re worried about energy consumption. If you don’t have anything else then it doesn’t matter if it’s a smart choice and if you’re worried about energy consumption then you’re not factoring in the energy cost of maintaining a place for a human being to exist and look at the screens attached to the pi or you havent considered simply turning off the terminal when it’s not in use.

Don’t do an ip camera based security system as a learning experience. What you will learn is that it was a big waste of time and isn’t practical.

I would recommend you think critically about what you’re trying to accomplish first and foremost then implement the simplest system that has the fewest points of failure.
