Geyser had some issues lately. I run geyser standalone on a vps on the web, the server itself is in my home. The geyser server would sit at 100% CPU all the time. From what i understand: they had an issue recently that would hackers use geyser to run DDoS attacks. It was fixed but the hackers still try to connect. All the time.

I don’t know if it is released yet (check their Discord) but they quickly released a patched version that would rate limit connection attempts (block the IP after X attempts). This fixed the issue for me.

You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.

Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)

Allergic to Indices? If your database is slow just add more Indices until you have one on every column of every table! :-)

LOL phrased oddly? English is not my first language.

I thought it was common knowledge that paying for something (console) and owning it was not the same these days, so I just want to know what I am buying…

What is it?

I have no clue what partysite is.

If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.

Concrete slabs

I have never owned a console, but have been playing games since I was 4 (that would be 1981). Also I can’t remember paying for anything in those days :-) Everything came on cassettes and floppies.

I made some very basic text based games back then. Nothing that anyone else would ever play :-)

(Also I am a developer, but not in the FOSS sphere)

Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.

Is it me or is there no link to click? I’m interested in your blog!

Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.

Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)

Moccamaster is the best coffee

Last episode there we 2 or 3 runs where I thought: yep, that’s it, you’re doomed. And he still made it out.

It’s awesome to watch how his mind works (always have been) and how well it works under pressure.

Yes. Lots of Etho:-)

So… tl;dw?

This is just lazy, copy pasting a link to YouTube without context? Please tell me why you shared it, what was interesting about it?

Not sure exactly how many blobs I need to install Linux on my pc. I know there’s proprietary stuff for my Nvidia card (optional) and possibly NIC, but most hardware is supported by the kernel these days?

Also, the play store. That’s my biggest issue with Android. Everything depends on the store.

I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it’s not very useful.

The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.

I don’t have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn’t work. That has already been proven?

And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.

So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?

Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.

Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.
