Now I’m wondering, if it were bundled with an OCI sandboxing system, that would address my issues with Flatpack and Snap. Technology has moved on and Flatpack has stagnated, and Snap’s just an attempt to centralize control and distribution. It’s time for a redesign, specifically focusing on supply chain attacks, with sandboxing all the way down.

I like this idea, but with the increase in supply chain attacks, I’m reluctant to use it. I’ve been much more reticent about installing from AUR, and my use of github projects has drastically slowed down since I now feel as if I have to read all the source code for everything I get.

I’ve sandboxed programs before, and I may just start making that standard practice, but still… it makes me angry. It’s, like: this is why we can’t have nice things. There are precious few OSS supply chain static code analysis tools, and there are a lot of languages I don’t know well enough to review, or which have such broad or deep dependency trees that it’s more work than it’s worth. The most frustrating is the dampening effect it’s having on OSS. It only pushes people to only use programs from big commercial companies.

Anyway, none of that is directly related to your program, which is really cool. Sadly, if there aren’t any positive developments in the OSS ecosystem for attacking the supply chain problem, cool projects like this are not going into my toolbox.

TBH what I saw first is that you connected a fan to some hard drives and called it a homelab.

It was pretty funny for the half second it lasted.

I liked the idea until you made it about sound.

I don’t want some random kid biting me. I could get rabies.

It doesn’t. This is targeted at application builders. Could be an honest mistake; could be astroturfing.

Oh. Yeah, probably. I can never remember how Lemmy does communities; with a bang, maybe?

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

I wish the OSS communities would get together and pick a lane. Matrix uses #room:server, Lemmy does !community@server; does Mastodon use the same as Lemmy?

Standards, people. Let’s have some standards. Shame on whoever designed their protocol second.

There is little better for ebooks than Calibre, and Calibre Web if you’re into web apps.

For the audio book discussion, OP should use the “search” function, because there was a robust discussion about this in @selfhosted@lemmy.world within the past two months.

If you frosted a muffin, would you call it a cupcake? What if you baked a really tiny sourdough loaf, with garlic and onions. If you frosted it, would it be a cupcake?

Completely different batter, so no. You would have a deconstructed cupcake.

My sister was given my Grandmother’s middle name as her first.

But I don’t think those count. Many men are “Jr.” OP’s right, very few women are “Mom Jr.” What would the suffix be? Junior? Is junior non-gendered? I think of it as a masculine suffix.

Good shower thought.

How mundane. But, yeah, that’s probably it.

1 in 5 women have been victims of attempted or completed rape. 10% are by strangers, so 1 in 50 women in the US have been raped by strangers. There are 167.84 million females in the US. That means 3.34 million women in the US have been raped by strangers.

Your definition of “very very few” is much different than mine.

Statistically, yes. 90% known means that 1 in 10 rapes are by strangers.

I would not play Russian Roulette even if the revolver had 10 cylinders.

What is your question? I see you describing your approach, and think reusing an old laptop for this is perfect (built-in UPS, yay!), but it’s not clear what you’re seeking advice about.

Oooh! Oooh! What’s that feeling, when you’re walking in the dead of night along a road, and you hear a car approaching from behind? That feeling that you need to get off the road and hide? That has to have a name.

As a woman, you should.

You shouldn’t have to, either.

In all seriousness, this is a conspiracy theory that is even harder to believe that people believe that flat Earthers. Like, do these people not have friends or family that use computers? Their existence alone is enough to disprove the pedantic version of Dead Internet, and if you even believe even a weak, watered down version (“most” content is bots), then you have to be younger than Millenials, because YouTube has been around for far longer than any convincing AI generated people videos.

And may you never respond “you too” when a waiter says “enjoy your meal”.

Me too, only more lazy.

It’s because the pea is stored in the nuts.

LOL me too! Only I usually edit when I respond to replies, because I often have to read what I wrote and notice the typos then.
