To answer this guy's question, yes, it would show up, because the alcohol is present in your blood, and thus, your pee.
It would show up on a breathalyzer. It doesn't measure what you drank, but rather what's in your blood.
I mean, a good enough rock can be considered a tool. Same as an antler or a bone.
I love how no matter how much the market makes it explicitly clear that an idea is absolutely terrible, Microsoft will just be like, "we're doing it anyway, fuck you." The best argument for Linux is just to gesture vaguely at Windows.
It's a limitation of the hardware.
So what you're saying is I have two eyes in my beeholes?

Hold on, wait a minute, pause. There are people who think that bugs have lungs?
Turns out, when you give the felon the keys to the prison, they open it and let their friends out.
Trump acts like a far right extremist, therefore, Trump is a far right extremist.
If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck…
That’s because Donald Trump is a far right extremist.
Ok, I’ll name this guy Larry.

Got any suggestions for another instance that doesn't block much? (Or isn't blocked much, I don't know what's happening.)

Is Google Maps getting worse?
My dad uses Google Maps, and he mentioned that it seems to be getting worse. Like, giving him directions that are obviously worse than alternatives. Has anyone else here experienced this?

Help remembering a song.
I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.

Nephele WebDAV Server now supports deduplicated file storage.


https://hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/nephele
In the latest version of Nephele, you can now create a WebDAV server that deduplicates files that you add to it.
I created this feature because every night at midnight, my Minecraft world that my friends and I play on gets backed up. Our world has grown to about 5 GB, but every night, the same files get backed up over and over. It's a waste of space to store the same files again and again, but I want the ability to roll back our world to any day in the past.
So with this new feature of Nephele, I can upload the Minecraft backup and only the files that have changed will take up additional space. It's like having infinite incremental backups that never need a full backup after the first time, and can be accessed instantly.
Nephele will only delete a file from the file storage once all copies that share the same file contents have been deleted, so unlike with most incremental backup solutions, you can delete previous backups easily and regain

I wrote this article about grieving as an atheist.
I talk about my beliefs about what happens during the process of death, and how that can provide comfort as an atheist.

Recommendations for a bug tracker/forum?
Does anyone have any recommendations for bug trackers with a forum feature? Basically something where users can report issues, request features, and ask questions, all about a specific service. Preferably, I’d like something that integrates with GitHub issues, but that’s not a requirement. Also I’d like something like a public roadmap or project tracker.

Nephele now supports S3 and file encryption


cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12284817
There's a new version of Nephele WebDAV server (also on Docker Hub) that supports using an S3 compatible server as storage and encrypting filenames and file contents.
This essentially means you can build your own cloud storage server leveraging something like Backblaze B2 for $6/TB/month, and that data is kept private through encryption. That's cheaper than Google Drive, and no one can snoop on your files.

Question: Best UI to manage VMs and containers?
At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories.
I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system.
What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it.
I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it.
What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.


You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

Nephele WebDAV server for Docker
After a lot of work (cause I’m new to it), I published my first Docker image!
Nephele is an open source WebDAV server written by yours truly. I’ve been using it for about a year now on my own home server. It basically acts as my self hosted cloud storage and all of my PCs and my family’s PCs back up to it. It’s FOSS, so use it for your own project. :)

Don't be that guy.


When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly.
Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person.
Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running npm install
. It’s because he tried removing the node_modules
directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.

PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.
I spent two hours today trying to figure out why Nextcloud couldn’t read my data directory. Docker wasn’t mounting my data directory. Moved everything into my data directory. Docker couldn’t even see the configuration file.
Turns out the Docker Snap package only has access to files under the /home
directory.
Moral of the story: never trust a Snap package.

I made an alternative to Gmail.
Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin, and I made a new email service called Port87.
Gmail was a great email service back in 2006, but now it just sucks. They put ads in your inbox that look like unread emails to trick you into clicking them. To me, that means Gmail is malware.
I’ve been degoogling my life for the past 7 years, and Gmail is the last Google service I depended on. I love ProtonMail and use it too, but I developed a new way to sort email automatically, and wanted to write my own service based on it.
Port87 lets you use a tagged address like [email protected], and that automically creates a “netflix” label and puts all email to that address in it. This helps keep your email organized automatically, and protects against spam and phishing.
The database abstraction library I wrote for Port87 is called Nymph.js, and it’s open source. Also the UI library I wrote is called Svelte Material UI, and it’s open source too.
I hope yo
Port87 - automatically organized email.
Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address.
If you give the address "[email protected]" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing.
Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label ([email protected]), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human.
Your "bare address" ([email protected]) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [email protected].)
Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.
