Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.

Honestly that’s kinda how I view it for myself. Might recreationally get bottom surgery someday too.

I was already kinda considering HRT because I only just discovered that SERMs are a thing, which allows you to avoid certain changes from HRT. Remembering that receding hairlines are a thing that happens in your 30s might just be the thing to push me to start HRT.

If it still boots from the internal disk then you may just need to set the boot priority to prefer your external drive. That’ll be mobo specific unfortunately so I can’t give any tips. I’ve had systems set up to boot from external media when plugged in so it should work.

Back in the day there was also an issue with running full windows installs from USB drives where you needed to prevent it from reinitializing USB devices during bootup since that would interfere with itself, but I’m not seeing anything recent about that so hopefully that’s not an issue anymore.

I don’t think you need to involve Linux at all if you boot the official windows installer. I would just install the SSD as the only drive internally and install to it, then put it back in its enclosure.

It looks like it’s about helping to audo deploy docker-compose.yml updates. So you can just push updated docker-compose.yml to a repo and have all your machines update instead of needing to go into each machine or set up something custom to do the same thing.

I already have container updates handled, but something like this would be great so that the single source of truth for my docker-compose.yml can be in a single repo.

I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it’s all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers (it automatically updates it’s own cached server list from your provider, through the VPN connection itself)

Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.

I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

Supposedly comaps has carplay support as of like 2 months ago, according to a page on their website

I saw this note on the nightshade website:

For now, if you want to shade your own art, you should Nightshade it first, then Glaze it for protection.

I think it would be neat if people could donate computer time to artists to run nightshade, but it doesn’t look like there’s a docker image with a web UI I could host.

I use slskd connected to a VPN and it works great. I just run a gluetun container and then attach the slskd container to it with network mode service, same as you would connect transmission to gluetun.

Sounds like a job for a pair of second hand nanobeams or something similar.

I second the other commenter who suggested using WISP gear. If you have clear fresnel zones it should work a treat.

I second this. Gluetun makes it so easy, working with docker’s internal networking is such a pain.

You are the perfect example of someone who is knowledgeable and gets offended when everyone else doesn’t know

So you saw me use some acronyms and then projected your idea of an unhelpful knowledgeable person onto me. That shit is so annoying dude, knock it off. If you go around assuming bad faith of everyone just because they know shit, then you’re only causing yourself to have the experience of nobody wanting to help.

Stop acting like it’s so easy to do

You’re literally making this up. Again, I never claimed it was easy to do. You’re just so eager to hate on a certain community that you’ve decided anyone who appears to know anything is automatically an unhelpful asshole. And it’s making you an annoying asshole.

This place is such a bubble of people who think the entire world thinks just like them.

Your attitude notwithstanding, you’re literally the one who came in hot acting like you’re enlightening us with the revelation that the cheaper open source alternatives are harder to set up. No shit. If you haven’t invented the idea that I’m saying it’s just as easy, then how do you figure that we live in a bubble when I literally agree with you? Spare us the condescension, please.

Jesus, get offended a little?

You’re literally doing the “triggered?” meme where you behave like a jerk and then act surprised when people don’t put up with it.

Well then maybe you should whine to DeathsEmbrace that they are wrong for only complaining about the price then.

I never claimed it was easier and you shouldn’t assume that was my claim or had anything to do with what I was saying. You’re literally just making up things that you think I said so that you can get mad about it.

If DeathsEmbrace had said that setting up your own is harder, I literally would have said yeah, it’s harder. But that’s not what they said. They said it was unaffordable. And you seem to agree with me that it’s not, since your point is that it’s about ease of use and not price - which is exactly my view.

Generic onvif/rtsp cams are a dime a dozen and work with any NVR program that supports open standards. We’re talking $30ish for stuff that’s weatherproof, wifi, some with backup batteries, pan tilt zoom, 2 way audio. Cheap indoor models are like $20. It all runs locally if you install one of the several free NVR programs on a computer on your LAN.

Here’s my advice as someone who basically could have written this post when I was your age (I’m now 30)

You can absolutely find a partner who wants to be free from gender expectations and find a relationship like you describe (I did!), but it will be extremely hard to find if you don’t put yourself out there and get used to sorting through the majority who are satisfied with gender roles.

The most important things imo are to 1. Keep putting yourself out there when you have the energy. 2. Take breaks if you have to, don’t let the experience make you jaded or let that frustration affect how you treat others because that’s an easy way to repel someone who would otherwise be a great match. 3. Keep being yourself, don’t be afraid to showcase the ways in which you are not traditionally masculine. I literally put a picture of myself in a maid outfit on tinder and I get quite a few compliments. You’ll only repel the people you don’t want and it’ll be like a beacon to attract those who view gender roles in the same way that you do.

To your last point, I would guess a lot of guys probably live quietly unhappy. But plenty have found accepting partners and social circles who are open minded about identity and gender expression.

Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.

What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.

That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

Isn’t the iMX 8M in the Liberty phone still made overseas? In which case it won’t be exempt from the tariffs.
