Community rally for Half Price Books labor union
It's been a while, just came back to let yall know if you're looking for something to do instead of doomscrolling this weekend, our comrades at the Half Price Books union stores are looking for a show of support from the community at a rally this saturday (2/22) at noon at the Westport store.
They've been fighting for a contract for a year, facing union busting campaigns from HBP corporate the whole time. if you like books and labor you should come!
Word is there will be hot drinks. Also it sounds like they don't really expect to go til 3, so be early!
I immediately understand the vibe and plight this guy was trying to illustrate
I can't drink because of a medical condition, so this is something I think about pretty often. There aren't many options that I'm aware of. Certain cafes/restaurants might stay open fairly late, which can be fun, but I eat vegan and those places don't tend to cater to that kind of diet.
help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up
I've had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I've had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I'm now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I've used commands sudo apt clean and sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500 to temporarily clear up some space, but it doesn't take long to fill back up, and gets less effective with time, til I have no choice but to expand the partition again.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal to need 20GB+ for var? Is there a way to safely reclaim space I don't know about?
Fair enough. Seems to be working, so thanks again!
Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare's ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I'm hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?
Port forwarding issue after network upgrade
Edit: I did some research on the Google Fiber reddit and it seems like broken port forwarding is a common issue with the provided hardware. Most say just BYO router. Sigh.
Tl;Dr: port forwarding isn't working after a network hardware upgrade, even after enabling it and rebooting all equipment, and without a firewall enabled.
I've been running a public-facing Jellyfin server on Ubuntu 22.04 for the past few months without too much trouble. Today I upgraded my networking equipment to a Google Fiber Network Box. I ended up having to set a new static IP address for my server device. I also had to switch from using the Google Home app to using the Google Fiber app or website to configure my network. Everything's working now except for port forwarding. The network settings give me the ability to forward ports, but port checkers keep telling me the ports I've opened are not open.
I've tried rebooting the server, router, and modem (and closing and reopening the ports) multiple tim
I've never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don't have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they're working on. Not that any of it's bad, but it feels like they're in the "can't just make a good product" camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I'm just a person, not an analyst.
KDE connect is a must-have on all my devices. I mainly use it for quick file transfers but other plugins occasionally.
I don't love old memes. They bore me. I see and make plenty of new stuff that makes me laugh, including laughing at consumer culuture. But most of thosr memes are not on Lemmy or Reddit.

Gotta extend a special welcome to any fellow pinefan
It can't be that cancel culture is just the free market in action, right? People not liking what a business does and choosing to buy from someone else is socialism.
Everyone's made good suggestions, but I wanted to throw out there that I just recently learned Kubuntu actually has been making its own line of custom-made laptops for a while, called Focus. There's a few different models, and IIRC one or two configurations are below $1000. You'll definitely save a buck by going with Windows-first options, but if you want to support Linux that'd be one way of doing it.
So what you're saying is that in the year 2062, every college bro is gonna have a Morbius poster in their dorm room
Hell yeah
Cory Doctorow: "Let the Platforms Burn"
Pretty good read
I've had multiple dreams where people from my past messaged me something meaningful, but before i can fully read it, I accidentally scroll past it and spend the rest of the dream frantically trying to find it again.
Meme videos on the fediverse
I like watching (and making) funny shortform videos on TikTok and Instagram reels, and I'd like to move to the fediverse as much as possible. Glancing around at PeerTube, it seems designed to replicate traditional YouTube with longform content, not something I'm interested in. PixelFed looks like the old Instagram, intended exclusively for photography and not memes of any kind, let alone video. So where can I get a quick haha off without a billionaire stooge breathing down my neck? (And let me know if this is the wrong community to ask, I'll gladly repost elsewhere)
Edit: before anyone writes any lectures, I realize video content is exponentially more resource-intensive to host compared to text and images. To be clear, I'm not demanding my every entertainment need be met by the fediverse right now, just curious what's out there.
Restaurant reccomendations for vegan/plant based?
Since web searches are almost useless for this kind of thing anymore, I wanted to see if anyone here has KC restauraunt recommendations for vegan eating. Been living here a couple years and have been to and like the Fix, Mud Pie, the Wooden Spoon, and Blue Koi, but I'd love to have more options.
South KCMO here, greetings.
