That doesn’t answer the question, they asked if it’s open source. I agree, I don’t want to replace one sketchy data-harvesting service with another, I’d be a lot more comfortable giving shutup10 control of my system if it was on github or gitlab.

Won’t this delete the two newest files, as opposed to everything except the two newest files?

I just looked up the man page, and actually head -n -2 means “everything up to but not including the last two lines”, so this should always leave two files remaining.

Ah! This is a shell pipe! It’s composing several smaller commands together, cool stuff.

• ls -1 is the grep-friendly version of ls, it prints one entry per line, like a shopping list.

• head takes a set number of entries from the head of a list, in this case 2 items. negative two, meaning “all but the last two.”

• xargs takes the incoming pipe and converts it into extra arguments, in this case applying those arguments to rm.

So, combined, this says “list all the .dump files, pick the first two, all but the last two, and delete them.” Presumably the first are the oldest ones and the last are the newest, if the .dump files are named chronologically.

True… the trouble with open source is that nobody’s getting paid to add features you want, huh.

I’m excited! But why not Minetest? :p

I don’t mind waiting a bit. If the system works, the users will come eventually.

I mean, there’s Stackoverflow, and Steamcommunity. It can be done. I’d just like to see federation tackle it.

Right, which defeats the purpose of the “fediverse” imo.

If I were him I’d stand by that defense. It’s a carefully worded and sane defense. He’s not defending child abuse, he’s saying, extremely clearly and plainly, that possession of evidence is not the same as committing abuse, and that the law shouldn’t use possession as a scapegoat. Which, given that every attempt to censor the internet in the last 10 years has started with “protect the children”, I’d say he was trying to cut that tactic off at the head.

Hear hear! I thought I didn’t like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. “Oh, I can’t view other instances’ local timelines without making accounts on them? What’s even the point of federation then?” But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it’s not the fediverse’s fault, Mastodon just doesn’t have a clear audience.

And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon’s features are “privacy-focused”, but I think it does TOO good a job, it’s so private that you can’t find anything!

in a word, intersectionality. you’re getting people who were already looking for an excuse to ditch reddit and twitter, and of that group, you’re selecting the ones with the most tech literacy. That tends to overlap people with progressive politics.

I’ve changed my naming scheme so many times that its practically a set-of-sets at this point. But, “board games” is a good long one if you have a lot of machines.

I add .env to my .gitignore, then I can safely put secrets in my .env. If you have a big .env file, make a sample.env with the secrets removed.

actually, could you tell me more? not only are those new solutions to me, those are new problems. I don’t even know how to tell if uPnP is turned on.

I wish I had a better guide on that myself! I’ve been using this guide for the time being, it covers the basics of how to set up a firewall: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html#securing-your-raspberry-pi

I agree in theory, but in practice, when Google dropped RSS and XMPP support it took most of my friends with it, which is what started this mess in the first place. I’m actually not a fan of mastodon; feels too ambitious to start a new protocol without a killer app. RSS and XMPP are extensible protocols and I really just want modern support for those.
