Proton are building a walled garden though. Trying to export and migrate from it is hell. I much rather have common imap/smtp and setting up pgp keys myself. That way I can easily import my local backup to a new provider if the need rises.

I’m trying to befriend the filter options in libreoffice calc but it really can’t compare with the create table from selection and built in filters and sorting that excel offers.
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/autofilter.html

That and also that I haven’t found any good f-droid apk to open the librecalc on my tablet.
All I want to use my tablet for is to change key values in brewing recipes and have them recalculate for the new volume, I prepare my brewing recipes on my computer in librecalc but now I’m stuck with multiple static pdf prints for different common volumes instead of using the real recipe book on the tablet.

I keep at it though, my private computer is Microsoft free and will stay that way. Some friction is lessening from getting used to libreoffice calc but some functions just can’t compare, the amazing tables of excel being the one I miss often.

I find heroic games launcher works great as a gog launcher.

They do use some more data than that, see my quote.

2.5. Indices of global change

We compared global human population size in the three main phases of facilitation, transition, and the negative r∼ N phase (see Results) to the global temperature anomaly obtained from the HadCRUT.5.0.2.0 ensemble prediction anomaly [56] relative to the 1960–1991 baseline (data available from 1850 to the present).
We hypothesize that the strongest positive relationship between human population size and climate change occurred during the negative phase because of consumption externalities such as increasing natural resource exploitation and loss of biodiversity. This can result from societies in the period of declining r and resources subsequently driving environmental degradation. In contrast, societies in the facilitation phase might have adequate resources to fuel increasing population growth rates.
We also used two additional indices of global change in the analyses to corroborate the results using global temperature anomaly: global ecological footprint measured as the number of Earths required to meet consumption rates [29], and total annual CO2-e emissions (ourworldindata.org).

The whole human biomass question is difficult to me. Half of humanity doesn’t have access to proper toilets. I have cheap products produced by contemporary slaves in asia. Fewer people with better conditions sounds good to me.
There was an article released this year that found 2-2.5 billion humans to be the carrying capacity of the earth. I’ve only read the abstract though.

Berries in swedish forests go ungathered because the work pays so badly swedes refuse it and our new anti abuse laws stops the thai workers who did it for pennies earlier from coming here.
Good riddance, I say, people can gather their own blueberries and make their own jam - if the alternative is working conditions no one should have to suffer.

If the aim is to have no one live in squalor and have everyone live a luxurious, but preferably more eco friendly, western lifestyle then how many humans can the planet support without degrading over time?
How can we make 4-6 hours of daily paid work enough to live on, globally?
How can we change society to stop chasing growth and find a system that allows future generation a planet with wildlife, clean air and water and a temperature that humans can enjoy not just survive?

You can bang wherever you want. <3

It was supposed to be read tongue-in-cheek, I know the UK is part of the big five that carries the largest financial burden of the ESC. :)

I thought it was part of their strategy to ensure they don’t have to pay to host the thing?

Background on the Case

The DOJ first sued EZ Lynk in 2021, accusing the Cayman Islands-based company of violating the Clean Air Act by marketing and selling “defeat devices.”
These tools allegedly allow users to bypass factory emissions controls on diesel vehicles, primarily through the EZ Lynk Auto Agent app paired with an onboard diagnostic (OBD) hardware dongle.

The main thing I see you can avoid with locking down the docker images into a separate low permission user that can only access what they really need is if someone successfully attacks a project and you get infected with some shit when your Synology pulls image:latest.
It could limit the traversal of a ransomware that successfully breaks free of the container but ends up having no permissions outside as an example.
I would probably purge the whole NAS and setup from my backup for my own peace of mind even with the user separation though.

edit: updating “low user” to “low permission user”, amazing how the brain can fill in words for you when reading your own texts.

Considering how my neck usually ends up after a day of gardening I should probably invest in one of those.

I mean unless specified otherwise most Synology container management dockers will run as root. With that said, if you want to secure things then there are guides.

An alternative path would be to setup a specific docker user and use docker compose to use that user when installing images

Jellyfin example
https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/jellyfin-in-container-manager-on-a-synology-nas-hardware-transcoding/

From there you could go further and use the guides above to create one user per docker image and give them different permissions depending on need.

From scrolling through the proposal comments it sounds like the proposals focus on NVidia/CUDA is the main thing to cause the angry comments when there are open source options to choose instead. That and the plagiarism from the AI models.

I only have a vague understanding of btrfs and its subvolume structure.
It sounds to me like Snapper + Borg / BorgUI would give you better btrfs snapshots with the built in grub menu entries and better backups than Timeshift alone.

As someone with more of a legacy workflow where I simply put backups of my machine on my NAS regularly can you describe what differs between Snapper and Timeshift? Can’t you use Snapper as a replacement?

I’m not really into video guides myself but a quick search landed me on one that seems to be helpful for setting up debian13 with btrfs and timeshift. I can understand your frustration considering how much work it requires.

I’ve only had a quick look at OpenSUSE Tumbleweed but as you say it seems a better fit if you want btrfs and snapshot rollback working straight out of the package.

According to https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/chrome-weightsbin-file-what-the-4gb-ai-download-is-and-how-to-delete-it/ the machine needs 4GB of GPU VRAM among other requirements for Chrome to actually download the model.
My work laptop doesn’t have this so it seems I’ve blocked something that wasn’t gonna happen anyways.
Chrome has now successfully updated to the version 148.0.7778.97 that would’ve given me the weights.bin if I was running eligible hardware.

edit: apparently I was wrong. My intel igpu counts my system ram as vram. I can’t see that I’ve downloaded the weights.bin though.

On the eve of his 100th birthday on 8 May, Sir David Attenborough shares a message for us all:

"I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas. I’ve been completely overwhelmed by birthday greetings from preschool groups to care home residents and countless individuals and families of all ages.

“I simply can’t reply to each of you all separately, but I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your kind messages, and wish those of you who have planned your own local events tomorrow, have a very happy day.”
