Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It’s based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

Good work!

I can’t speak for others but I go through phases of enjoying the sound of different accents. I’m currently loving Indian.

Where did the Linux socks thing come from? I see it around and am curious about the lore.

This is dadjokes fine sir

Boooooo

Sounds like either a) the dehumidifier is broken or confused b) your apartment has more moisture in it than you thought or c) the moisture is being replenished from somewhere.

I stayed in a friends house a few months ago and she had 4 dehumidifiers running since she bought it. The house was built before damp proofing was a thing and set into a hill, so the place is basically one massive wick for groundwater. It will never be over for her.

It certainly is!

I’m afraid I can’t offer any recommendations but I just wanted to say how beautiful it is to think of you keeping track of each others heartbeats while you’re apart. That’s love

I agree with all your points! What I will add though is that what we think of as ‘investors money’ is actually value that has been extracted from the environment and from workers.

I’m not saying anyone should do this but if they did it might be very worth their while.

It’s very tempting to have schadenfreude about this failure but also disgusting that so much has been invested in it that should have been put to better use.

It’s just another example of a system whose narrow definition of success is taking human and environmental value and using it to extract more. It’s not aimed at solving worthwhile problems or making things better, which is why people are becoming more miserable and the planet is getting wrecked.

You could say that it’s the system we live in which is the AI, feeding on itself and becoming more sick.

I keep hearing about how high the scrap price for copper is at the moment.

I remember how horrified my mum was around 2005 when we started using social media because she thought that what we posted on it would get turned against us.

20 years later and she’s not looking like such a paranoid old fruitcake.

Does anyone in the group selfhost? I just installed Jitsi Meet (which is like zoom) on my server and it sounds like that could work for you. I’ve only just tested it out and haven’t had any big calls on it yet but it seems great. How many people usually join the weekly call?

This is fascinating - thanks for sharing.

Sounds a bit like getting the turkey to turn on the oven at christmas.

Sounds awesome - thanks for the invite! It would be cool to have this on Bookwyrm or even Lemmy

Lol
