#TIL by putting sheep wool around your plants in the garden you can protect them against both slugs and droughts!
Slugs simply can't move through or over it (also useful for raised beds in your garden!) and the wool prevents the soil from drying up as quick. And it's fully bio-degradable, of course!

So useful!

@Natanox I had so much success this year using wool pellets to protect plantsโ€ฆ dahlias and squashes particularly. Iโ€™m a convert

If purchase doesn't mean ownership, #piracy doesn't mean stealing.

Facing malicious actors (basically any big tech company) piracy, hacking/cracking and involuntary open-sourcing are acts of digital self-defense.
If you don't want people to act against you, don't act against them. A system that perpetuates malicious, exploitative behavior doesn't deserve your loyalty or trust. It is as simple as that.

If someone wants to block me because of this feel free to. #enshittification #Blizzard

Guess I have to use my range for something good for a change. Please read and #RT if the #Fediverse is important to you.

A few days ago, @Gargron, maintainer of #Mastodon and the big instance mastodon.social, wrote a blogpost explaining how the official app will soon feature his instance as a default.

Voices of the community weren't heard. He even doubled-down on it.

We have to prevent this change.
Please Eugen, #DontDoTheElon.

To make it abundantly clear: I do not think Eugen is acting with malevolent intentions. I do however strongly criticize the lack of communication and that what he's currently doing promotes more competition instead of cooperation (even if it's by accident), which the Fediverse should not have.

The reason we're so nice to each other here is because most of us expect the other to be inherently good, or at least have good intentions even when they're angry. Competition alienates this culture.

Which one would you use if you want a highly stable desktop device with snapshot capabilities, and why?

Please RT in the #Linux bubble for more reach, I need to make this decision soon and got actually no idea. But having stuff like lsblk, gnome-system-monitor etc. showing it properly would be a bonus. #btrfs #zfs #filesystem #tech #techsupport #sysadmin

@Natanox in almost all cases, you'll be better off just backing up stuff regularly with deja-dup / duplicity [included in @ubuntu LTS Desktop per default] or #rsync and use #btrfs since unlike #ext4 and #ZFS, it'll be less straining in terms of write operations [which are the limiting factor of SSDs] and you don't want to use "journal-less ext4" outside of embedded devices!...

#ZFS is great for NASes and Server but there is a reason why not even #Canonical defaults to using it on #Desktop.

@Natanox btrfs has matured a lot recently and at least one distro (openSUSE) already configures it with snapshotting out of the box

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.

Here's a list of alternatives:

- beagleboard.org/
- banana-pi.org/
- hardkernel.com/
- friendlyelec.com/
- olimex.com/
- rockpi.org/
- libre.computer/
- starfivetech.com/en

@Natanox I like ASUS Tinker Board if you're still willing to add to the list: asus.com/us/networking-iot-ser

Couldn't find any mention on a quick skim.

Why are people even choosing to work with Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure if you ain't hosting some million-users stuff?

Those are big corporations that repeatedly take shits on you. F* them.

Zach Perlman

@Natanox I support your comment. I'm an AWS certified solutions architect, but i use Linode. And that is exactly why.

To all those brave souls who're trying out Linux on the desktop despite the elitist subculture inside the #Linux community:

Kudos, thank you and all power to you.

Chris Cochrun ~ >

@Natanox Yes indeed! It is fun and nice tho! To see other views of computing!

Toni Widmo

@Natanox I have been using Linux for decades and the elitism is tiresome. Now I just use pop_os and I don't care what the elitists think about that. I just want an easy time with minimal faffing.

* oh wow this is actually pretty cool
* I have compiled a linux kernel

Daily reminder that both NieR:Automata and NieR Replicant ver.1.22 are masterpieces of videogame art. You should play them and prepare lots of tissues.

Gotta have to look through all my likes here due to german courts' mental incontinence.

Likes on the internet can now be a criminal offense in Germany if what you liked is punishable, according to a german court. And since a person was raided for calling a politician "1 pee-pee" on Twitter after said politician acted hypocritical they might raid your home DAY OR NIGHT and seize everything including your cloud storage data etc. ...for a Like. reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/

I just literally got stuck in the #Windows11 install wizard because they do not expect network drivers to be missing anymore.

There was no way to tell him where they were - in fact they were right in the .iso that was mounted as SATA DVD drive. But in Microsofts infinite wisdom they removed the option to install #Windows without network AND removed the option to install the necessary drivers. So it will simply... stop doing anything. No button even worked anymore.

Absolute garbage.

@Natanox interesting will they force same policies for enterprise distributions like LTSC?
Not Joe

@Natanox maybe look into windows ame if older versions of win 10 are ok

ๆœˆใฎๅ…Ž :moonrabbit:

@Natanox@chaos.social this was one of the controversies around the release of Win11, even in the beta period, that it was an online only install.

I want someone to manufacture a genetical bioweapon (or would it rather be a cure?) that increases "minimal empathy" in humans to currently unnatural levels and lower aggression.
Therefore if you act like a dipshit you'll react with stress and actually fall ill.

So many people would drop dead and it wouldn't even be the actual fault of the retrovirus.
