Astonishing Camacho energy. Buy Brawndo stock now.

These releases are nuts; paper and many mods haven’t even completed 1.21.5-1.21.6, I hope the pack versions don’t rev because this is so much change it’s killing mod devs, myself included.

Its a pic of a quote, its showing for me in jeroba on android?

Ok, understood. So if you’re not online, you pretty much lose messages, or are they cached and the next time the sender is online you get them?

My use case is a kid using a minecraft server and wants to talk to his friends, and we’re using mumble now, but they want “discord” and they want things like plugins that allow mgmt from the discord channels, which I would be willing to try to develop, but the model pretty much requires a server to be online.

In general, I’m trying to make a small internet for my kids and their friends to have “normal” internet experiences without being on the wider internet. No youtube, but pinchflat -> jellyfin. No discord, but mumble. No google drive, but nextcloud.

I have been exploring self-hosted Discord alternatives and had been looking at Rocket Chat, so I am wondering what is the pitch for this versus something like that? I am very early in my exploration, of course.

The implication here is that somehow that’s a problem with lemmy and lemmy.world…but I bet he also had an amazon account and no one is blaming them.

No, lots of people out there years out from an accident or injury can’t work and it leads to the opioid addiction cycle; having an option to control the pain and get people able to either work or do hobbies again, or do things with their families, would be huge.

There’s a lot of snark, but the idea is this only inhibits pain in the peripheries, so it isn’t so psychoactively impacting. You don’t get sedated, the addiction profile is way less, and the LD50 means OD’ing is much harder. I’m sure there’s dependency potential, but it seems this is NOT recreational, which is huge, and if the sedation is less and you can take this and still function, it could be a game changer, allowing people impacted by chronic pain to re-enter the work force and have a better quality of life:

I use pinchflat to download media, then Jellyfin Youtube Metadata Plugin. It works very well, and it’s let me block the youtube app for my kids but still give them specific content.

This is so amazing. Dropping creeper boats. Can you put a tnt minecart in a boat and make aerial bombardment? I know you can’t ride a dangling boat…can you ride a dangling mule?

Can there be some form of exception, maybe prefixing the title with “Live Update:” and it affords some grace to changing titles?

Capitalism and socialism are a pendulum, acting as a response to each other and the exploitation of the flaws in the system. The real enemy is authoritarianism which defends whichever system is in power at the time.

Muse is the scariest villain we have seen in the MCU.

I think this was a phenomenal fun episode, as a bottle it is just so fun. I get the Kamala tie ins were ham fisted, but it was just a good time.

We do this, 2 timex family family connect watches, the older green ones off eBay. It’s perfect and it opened up the privilege of walking home from school, walking to the park, and walking to friends houses as long as they keep it charged and check in. The newer ones look like an apple watch which I felt made them a theft target but the old ones have changed the family’s life. Then, we can ask them to do chores when they get home from school, and if they do, they can ask us to unlock tablet.

Are you learning networking? You’re entering the world of vlans. In the networking OSI model, Layer 3 is where you’re dipping your toes.

I’m gonna try to over-simplify this, but each network has a gateway, which is a layer 3 device that helps a local network talk to other networks, either in the house or on the internet. That doesn’t have to be a physical device, it can be a virtual network device on your bigger layer 3 device. Most residential network gear won’t understand this. When you get into vlans, it’s like having multiple separate networks on the same devices; if you have “vlan 10” and “vlan 20”; devices on vlan 10 cannot see devices on vlan 20, even if they’re connected to the same switch. This is done by “tagging” ports, which is where you specify what network each port is on. You can also have a port with multiple vlans on it, which is called a “trunk”, but for this to work the network traffic has to carry a tag specifying what vlan each packet belongs to (though each trunk also has a “native” port, think of it like a default vlan if a packet isn’t tagged). The verbage changes based on the vendor, but that’s the idea.

In the actual world, here’s how that works. Ports with devices on the other end with multiple devices/networks on them (access points, switches, firewalls) usually are trunks, then end client ports (your computer, a printer) are “access” ports. You would apply a single vlan to access ports, or make it an “untagged” port, whereas you “tag” multiple vlans on trunk ports. The networking devices will make most of that happen.

So how can you shape the traffic between them? Your firewall/gateway/layer3 device. The easiest entrypoint into this is get a small computer (1L PC which you can get nearly as ewaste, having multiple network ports is good) and installing opnsense on it. It’s free and good for learning, and I use it in prod today. The opnsense box, let’s say, has 1 physical nic, then you create a virtual vlan interface on vlan 10 and 20. That becomes your “default gateway” on all client devices on the respective networks. All traffic leaving the networks go through this device (so faster network ports is better) and that is why firewall rules get to allow/block ports, IP’s, endpoints, etc. Your port forwards to the internet happen here as well. You can make a firewall rule to say your other network allows passing traffic to the original network on port 53 to the pihole, for example, so dns servers on a different “lan” can still be used.

This is a complicated subject, but getting some gear on ebay (a “managed switch”) is a great way to learn. For example, I have an access point with a management interface on my “mgmt” vlan (99, number is arbitrary), then I have 2 ssid’s, one for IoT stuff (vlan 5) and one for my devices (vlan 4). The port going to the access point on the switch is native vlan 99 but tagged to allow traffic with packets tagged with vlan 4 or vlan 5, and the access point tags the traffic based on which SSID the client connects to, the client doesn’t care.

Universities have huge endowments and investment portfolios. These are generally broad and in support of keeping the financial backing of the school stable; this is extremely prevalent in the large older universities like Harvard or Columbia (but almost all universities have one in some form or another). They support both students and ongoing academic research.

While many of these portfolios consist of wider funds, many have specific investments in specific companies and industries. That means that the university is invested in, and taking benefit from, areas of industry. The main request is to divest the investment portfolios from companies owned by or supporting entities connected with Israel’s war on Gaza. In some cases this may be possible (move a ton of stock from a defense contractor making weapons sold to Israel to an energy company) and in some cases it may not (they’re invested in a wide market fund that itself invests in specific funds, but you can’t easily cherry-pick which stocks are actually in it). It’s also possible that there are research grants funded through companies who the students want to apply negative pressure to; cancelling a grant sends a message to the company, but also leaves entire teams and time-dependent science without funding, potentially ending it outright unless alternate funding can be found. There also may be contracts involved for specific research and engagements, and breaking a contract is more complicated than just ripping it up (especially if there are early termination policies outlined).

Realistically, the best students can hope for is a commitment to investigate and divest where possible, which is frustrating but also makes sense. I’ve worked in higher education for 20 years and have seen this on a smaller scale around defense contractors during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The endowment is a slow moving leviathan, but I think it’s a good place for the students to apply pressure.
