The fact that you need a permit is already a violation of the right of assembly IMHO.

You can't really host your own AWS, You can self-host various amalgamations of services that imitate some of the features of AWS, but you can't really self-host your own AWS by any stretch of the imagination.

And if you're thinking with something like localstack, that's not what it's for, and it has huge gaps that make it unfit for live deployment (It is after all meant for test and local environments)

No, most definitely not, and it.... Sucks.

I just wanna sit down and play Minecraft or something again.

Kind of dumb really, I hate censorship.

Perfect opportunity for them. Even worse are organized hate groups like KKK and friends

The hard part is in the scripting, the retries, the back off, automation, queuing and queue management...etc

At that point I'm implementing my own bootleg TubeArchivist 😅

Oh it's definitely an easy to read DB. But that's still beyond the point IMHO.

If you can't reconstruct the state of your files without 3rd party software to interpret them, then they are not in an archive format.

One should be able to browse their data using OS native tools on an offline device push comes to shove.

 

I've been using Tube Archivist to archive my YouTube playlists, but I've hit a portability snag. It stores all metadata in its internal database and saves video files with non-readable filenames. This makes the archive unreadable without the software and its database, which defeats the point of long-term archival storage.

Are there any tools that:

  • Archive playlists with human-readable filenames (or let you control the naming scheme)
  • Have an API for queuing archival jobs
  • Store metadata in portable formats (e.g., sidecar JSON or YAML)
  • Don’t require additional software to interpret the archive

2FA I'm sure.

The attitude here is the following (I am neither enforcing, nor criticize this):


When random thugs come to your door to kidnap you and/or your family, you defend yourself, and your family. With any force available to you. ICE are acting like these thugs, often not even in uniform, they are brown coats.

You didn't necessarily know who it is or what there intentions are.

And rule NUMBER 1 of being taken, is NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE TAKEN TO A SECONDARY LOCATION. Anything they would be willing to do to you now, they would be willing to do 10x once you're in a place they feel safe.

Anyways, the concept being that if it's dangerous for brown coats to "do their job" and kidnap people, they're less inclined to. And citizens have a right to defend their rights and their liberties.

Sounds like American healthcare to me.

You either cope, and probably cause irreparable hard to yourself, or you go to the clinic or ER and get labeled a drug seeker.

I mean at this point you're just being intentionally obtuse no? You are correct of course, volatile memory if you consider it from a system point of view would be pretty asinine to try and store.

However, we're not really looking at this from a system's view are we? Clearly you ignored all the other examples I provided just to latch on to the memory argument. There are many other ways that this data could be stored in a transient fashion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I mean, it's more complicated than that.

Of course, data is persisted somewhere, in a transient fashion, for the purpose of computation. Especially when using event based or asynchronous architectures.

And then promptly deleted or otherwise garbage collected in some manner (either actively or passively, usually passively). It could be in transitory memory, or it could be on high speed SSDs during any number of steps.

It's also extremely common for data storage to happen on a caching layer level and not violate requirements that data not be retained since those caches are transitive. Let's not mention the reduced rate "bulk" non-syncronous APIs, Which will use idle, cheap, computational power to do work in a non-guaranteed amount of time. Which require some level of storage until the data can be processed.

A court order forcing them to start storing this data is a problem. It doesn't mean they already had it stored in an archival format somewhere, it means they now have to store it somewhere for long term retention.

Same, having the freedom to ride my bike wherever I could and meet and play with other kids was crucial to my social and personal development.

 

Mobile location based games. This is still a fledgling genre. But not many of them scratch the itch of online/shared world empire building.

There are some that try and scratch the empire building niche but they don't go far with the idea, or their implementation is kind of janky with older or awkward user experiences.

So.....

I started building my own

A location based, persistent, multiplayer, economy and industry sim.

A few years ago I was inspired by some of these games to build my own. After a couple years of development, I proved all the core technologies. It was at this point that I realized that without a community and without garnering interest, no matter how good of a game I made, it was still slated to die against the waves of slop on the app store.

It sat on the back burner for a bit but I've been interested in restarting the project recently. As part of that I want to see what sort of interest and ideas other folks have.

The Concept

The concept of the game (Heavily inspired by Resources, with the same gameplay loop), is that you are the owner of a corporation and can go around in the real world scanning for resources.

These resources are distributed in a manner that tries to match their real world properties. Certain resources that are often mined alongside each other can be mined together.

Once you find resources that you care about, you can place down mines to gather those resources. Since this is a persistent world, there is some sense of scarcity for certain resources as once someone else is placed mines there you cannot.

You can then use factories to refine those raw materials, and to manufacture products out of those raw materials. You can upgrade mines, your factories, your manufacturing capabilities...etc these refinement and manufacturing chains are also based off of their real world counterparts. Certain metals like copper and aluminum are incredibly difficult to refine and the efficiency of that refining process is based on the technologies you are using for that refinement.

A real player market is where you can buy and sell materials and products. You can either sell or buy materials for the purpose of manufacturing or you can play the market and make money through speculation.

Pressures are put on you in the form of mine upkeep, over time your mind's degrade and you will need to spend money or resources to maintain them. Natural disasters can affect the productivity of your mines and factories within certain geographical regions or even do damage to them.

You have a workforce and that workforce costs money to maintain and keep happy. The regional and global workforces of all players drive a level of economic consumption and need, alongside your natural growth and technological advancement.

Increase your manufacturing capabilities and technologies by unlocking them as part of a tech tree. As you progress, you are able to build and research technologies to not only unlock new products and manufacturing capabilities but boost productivity and efficiency.

....etc

Okay, that's a lot of words

Essentially:

  • Real world resource distribution, based on common geography and realistic resource availability.
  • manufacturing and processing chains grounded in how these materials are produced for real
  • A full technology tree and progression
  • A player driven economy
  • various upgrade paths for your mines, factories and other buildings
  • A "Headquarters" Which is an area with limited land availability for you to place billions like factories and refining.
  • The amount of land available for your headquarters is upgradable as you progress
  • Competition against players both for resources on the map, economic size, and leaderboards.
  • Direct trading, contracts, and sales between corporations

....etc

Who here has an interest in games like these? And what sort of empire building itch can this scratch for you?

 

Hopefully you all can help!

I've been to hundreds of threads over the last few days trying to puzzle this out, with no luck.

The problem:

  1. Caddy v2 with acme HTTP-1 ACME challenge (Changed from TLS-ALPN challenge)
  2. Cloudflair DNS with proxy ON
  3. All cloudflair https is off
  4. This is a .co domain

Any attempt to get certificates fails with an invalid challenge response. If I try and navigate (or curl) to the challenge directly I always get SSL validation errors as if all the requests are trying to upgrade to HTTPS.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here and am running out of things to try.

If I turn Cloud flare proxy off and go back to TLS-ALPN challenge, everything works as expected. However I do not wish to expose myself directly and want to use the proxy.

What should I be doing?


I have now solved this by using Cloudflair DNS ACME challenge. Cloudflair SSL turned back on. Everything works as expected now, I can have external clients terminate SSL at cloudflair, cloudflair communicate with my proxy through HTTPS, and have internal clients terminate SSL at caddy.

 

I just messed my ankle up and am going to a conference in a couple days where I normally walk 15-25 miles/day for the next week.

I've been advised to use a wheelchair instead of crutches. And will rent one when I get there.

I get the feeling that I'm throwing myself into the fire here, having never used a wheelchair before, and likely spending a crazy amount of time in one moving around over the next week.

I usually can't deal with sitting down for more than an hour or so before my back hurts, so I'm worried about that.

What advice do you all have for me? What do I need to know? What pro-tips should I take for the next week?

 

In my 30's and only within the last few years have I been able to really introspect my life, and realize behaviors that I've "created" or "fake" in social interactions. I struggled a lot in middle/high school, and even through my 20's. I've essentially "found" myself to some degree in my 30's, but I'm actually not sure how much of it is me and how much of it is masking.

I recognize the signs when I'm being fake in interactions that would benefit from being more genuine. It's automatic, and I've noticed others take notice when it's the wrong mask at the wrong time. Which just means I get better at it, which is nice and all, but it would be cool if it wasn't such an automatic reaction.

So my question to all of you is how do you reduce masking behavior in situations or relationships where it may be beneficial or necessary to not do so?

Awkwardly I guess you could answer this with "You get better at it with time", which is true of most things. However, I'm looking for some emotionally intelligent advice or anecdotes.

Anyone else get anxiety when waiting for communication on anything soft-planned (or even hard planned for that matter)? Spiraling and all that.

Especially if the person involved is late or didn't respond. Ofc the reaction is to check in, that's what I'd want someone else to do for me if I indicated I'd do something or message someone. However, that can be interpreted as being needy or clingy when really I just want to know the plan and not be left hanging.

Life happens ofc, people gotta cancel plans, that's okay. But what really rubs things wrong is being left without information, that's when the anxiety shoots. Do you wait for them, or go do something else? If you go do something else, what happens when they're suddenly available? That's not respecting my time, so it's rude, but do you convey that?? What if you hinged your day on something, that just throws a big ass wrench in.

Everyone is living their own lives, and things happen, preventing communication. It just feels like it's more common than it used to be, or more... Negligent?

Gah.

I guess /rant really.

 

I have already seen an allergist, and was on ramp up. We had to move, and to my surprise none of the clinics here will administer allergy shots.

There is a speciality clinic that will, but only if you are a patient of their allergist, they won't administer injections unless it came from them. There is a 3y wait-list for their allergist.

This is terrible news. My seasonal allergies are debilitating, they are a disability. In the words of my allergist "You are allergic to the world".

I could administer them at home, my spouse is an MA and knows how to do the subcutaneous shots. However, that's dangerous, and my allergist refuses to allow me to do this.

The alternative would be to just walk into a clinic or ER, get the shots administered by my spouse in the lobby. Wait the 20-30 minutes to ensure no anaphylactic reaction, and go home. And do this till I've ramped. But I get the feeling this won't go over well....

What sort of advice do you have for me on navigating this Lemmy? I was receiving treatment for this condition, and now I can't, which is essentially driving me into depression.

This is great news, and a strong step forward.

A big part of this are the limitations around part pairing. Which often prevents repairs as the parts on the device are paired to each other and do not allow you to swap them out.

Recently this has become a problem even for EUVs like OneWheel. Who lock consumers out of repairing or modifying their devices.

Whenever I try and go to this instance it shows that an unexpected error has occurred. What's the dealio?

The website itself appears to work.

 

Seems an engineer stole source code, docs, presentations...etc related to car technology.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff.

The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there.

However I'm not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn't to helpful right now.
