Paste from clipboard is different than paste from primary selection

Does KDE not have the middle mouse button paste from the primary selection? I thought the clipboard is distinct from primary selection.

the [@] kde [@] [domain name] parts at the bottom of the post body tells a Mastodon server to notify the Lemmy services about the post and Lemmy shows that post as part of the community so subscribers and people browsing all will have the post in their front page feed depending on their sort settings.

Ente is a beautiful, private cloud for your memories, with apps for mobile, desktop and web.

At Ente, we use Local AI to deliver features like face recognition and magic search, while respecting the privacy of your photos.

We’ll now join a cohort of builders pushing technology forward for an AI that is light, private and accessible.

Or complete clients, doesn’t even need to be great but incorporating all features would be nice.

There seems to be mixed reactions to this suggestion. I don’t know enough to understand why.

Enjoy your Friday

Nice article.

why bother? Why I self host

Most of this article is not purely about that question, but I dislike clickbait, so I’ll actually answer the question from the title: Two reasons.

First of all, I like to be independent - or at least, as much as I can. Same reason we have backup power, why I know how to bake bread, preserve food, and generally LARP as a grandmother desperate to feed her 12 grandchildren until they are no longer capable of self propelled movement. It makes me reasonably independent of whatever evil scheme your local $MEGA_CORP is up to these days (hint: it’s probably a subscription).

It’s basically the Linux and Firefox argument - competition is good, and freedom is too.

If that’s too abstract for you, and what this article is really about, is the fact that it teaches you a lot and that is a truth I hold to be self-evident: Learning things is good & useful.

Turns out, forcing yourself to either do something you don’t do every day, or to get better at something you do occasionally, or to simply learn something that sounds fun makes you better at it. Wild concept, I know.

• You can self host VS Code
• UPS batteries die silently and quicker than you think
• Redundant DNS is good DNS
• Raspberry PIs run ARN, Proxmox does not
• zfs + Proxmox eat memmory and will OOM kill your VMS
• The mystery of random crashes (Is it hardware? It’s always hardware.)
• SNMP(v3) is still cool
• Don’t trust your VPS vendor
• Gotta go fast
• CIFS is still not fast
• Blob storage, blob fish, and file systems: It’s all “meh”
• CrowdSec

Conclusion

He made up hypothetical scenarios that nobody asked about, and then denigrated Rust by attacking the scenarios he came up with.

This seems to be the textbook description of a strawman argument.

It’s also a microkernel and intentional not POSIX compliant (but it’s close to compliant). I like the project, but it’s very experimental on purpose, so we should set our expectations accordingly. I’d love to see it become a success, but it may not be or it may only be successful in a smaller niche than the current Linux ecosystem.

That said, it seems very open to new contributors. I hope more people can help it along.

It provides for control over certain functions, but it is underutilized.

What self-hosted services did you set up passkeys on? How did setting it up go?

Is there a passkey setup that’s easy to self host? I think passkeys with a backup would be best.

I’ve been using Podverse but I’m not sure if it meets your requirements. I just use it in the browser when I’m on Windows. The Android app doesn’t seem like a web wrapper. Its source code is available under the AGPL. I’ve been paying $18 per year for the hosted service, but they provide instructions on self hosting.

If all you care about is speed you could do even better than EXT4. But I wouldn’t recommend it because you should care about more than speed.

I love that bcachefs is getting so close to being a realistic option.

I’m expecting that everything that the statistical models reveal or make convincing results about which benefit the owners of the models will be exploited. Anything that threatens power or the model owners will be largely ignored and dismissed.
