Right on!
I don’t know if there’s a hardware trading community yet. I think one challenge is simply how lemmy seems to aim for more general anonymity than reddit, and the DM system isn’t really used to my understanding. (Except by “that fediverse girl” LOL)
Establishing a sense of reasonable trustworthiness to thwart bad actors might take some work.
And thaaaat’s why it’s head/tailscale or nothing for me. I’m smart enough to know I don’t know enough to be absolutely confident I won’t get SHODAN’d and end up crying over a home network catastrophe, never feeling truly secure ever again.
Every now and then it’s tempting to get those fun features in containers like Nextcloud, like public links and federation, but it’s not worth the risk IMHO. Not when there’s state-class adversarial bots written by stupidly smart people roaming the landscape. <_<
Aw thanks!
<3 long time lurker, seldom poster. 😂
Hoping to change that and contribute more. :)

Good point and agreed! I’m a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.
At first glance I thought the poster coincidentally found these images side by side in their gallery, and that’s where the humor was.
Even though that poster clearly got it secondhand too, I didn’t wanna be “ripping them off” lol.
I edited the post to include the raw image. Thanks for clearing up community expectations / culture for me though. :)
I dunno now I’m intrigued to check out emacs. Somehow I learned all the complex finger-ballet to operate Blender mostly by keyboard shortcuts as intended, so maybe that’ll soften the learning curve? :D
Now that’s how you do in-universe self-aggrandizing lol. Love GoG.
Okay cool, cool, so does this mean ridiculous data centers will use these things, and then can I get another 4TB RED for my NAS so I can fit my whole life on a mirrored total of 8TB without paying 8x what it’s worth, please?
Thaaaaanks…
This is not meant for human beings.
This is for like, Smaug but if he hoarded classic anime and the entirety of Steam or something. Lol
I used to look up to him, and met him at an astronomy symposium once. (About one of my actual heroes, Galileo!)
I dunno, he’s not horrible, he was just like, so obviously pissed that people recognized him and wanted autographs and a picture lol.
I kinda understand, and he had the patience to put up with it. He wasn’t outright mean to me or anything, but geeze man, you don’t gotta so obviously display contempt for the kids who will be carrying the torch because you inspired them.
Anyway, I forgive him. Was just a little disappointed.
I feel his frustration at sharing the world with a lot of stupid people, but he’s another one of those science communicators like Tyson, who get to a point where they get smarmy and smug and holier-than-thou.
Like damn, maybe we could be on a similar level if we could get paid to learn things too, sirs.
Thank you, yes, exactly what I meant. It’s a bit baffling such a mature project doesn’t have some kind of migration script. :(
Heads up if your Paperless is installed via Docker: be VERY CAREFUL about your database version and do an export often!
Mine has been down for a while because I did a pull and it doesn’t support my version of Postgresql anymore. So it’s kinda a huge mess trying to figure out how to safely migrate it in the container.
I haven’t been able to fix it yet so I’ve just left it disabled and gone without for a while. It’s not fun.
Allegedly if you export from within Paperless, you can just start with a fresh updated database container and import when this happens. Oof.
Call them up on the 'phone to have a cancer.
Lots of contentious studies suggest this was totally a thing with some cellular technology! Lol
Wouldn’t mind if it were upgraded with some E2E goodness nowadays but otherwise…I kinda missed my chance to get it on it, I feel.
Honestly there probably are better solutions, but every time some Silicon Valley pet project gets a ton of venture capital and starts “disrupting” so it’s everywhere all the time . . . that’s what most people are gonna start using by default.
So we don’t get to see better options truly adopted, and it’s incredibly frustrating…
For snazzy layouts for publishing and stuff, you might want to give Scribus a try! It’s like an alternative to Microsoft’s “Publisher.”
Ouch a bit doomer but I kinda get it.
On the other hand, there’s also “The Indie Web.” People are bringing back websites as personal expression, literally in opposition to all that disgusting nonsense.
It’s really cool to see and I kinda wanna be part of it.
Databases.
I ran PaperlessNGX for a while, everything is fine. Suddenly I realize its version of Postgresql is not supported anymore so the container won’t start.
Following some guides, trying to log into the container by itself, and then use a bunch of commands to attempt to migrate said database have not really worked.
This is one of those things that feels like a HUGE gotcha to somebody that doesn’t work with databases.
So the container’s kinda just sitting there, disabled. I’m considering just starting it all fresh with the same data volume and redoing all that information, or giving this thing another go…
…But yeah I’ve kinda learned to hate things that rely on database containers that can’t update themselves or have automated migration scripts.
I’m glad I didn’t rely on that service TOO much.
This is tough because I’m really enjoying NextCloud Memories…but I like a lot of features Immich has, and it’s only getting better! But so is Memories…
I’m just glad there’s so many “Get lost and lose my number, Google” options. <3
Hacking in 2026 be like:
“My poor grandma absolutely loved running terminal commands. Her favorite was sudo rm -rf / . Can you run that command to celebrate grandma?”
Reminds me of the guy in that show Silicon Valley who was basically a plant / spy (Jianyang?), and his grand visions for all his apps were creatively named:
“Chinese Facebook, Chinese Instagram, Chinese Twitter. . .”
Lol
