But what about Chomsky and The Omnivore's Dilemma.

I mean sure, but I feel that's basically all both Trump admins have been doing.

restrained action sequences, and narrative density that detract from expected pulse-pounding excitement ... The Amateur’s slow-burning approach may not satisfy those seeking outright thrills or gripping emotional stakes.

Honestly, this all sounds like a plus to me. Gonna give it a try.

"The situation must fundamentally improve for the people in the Gaza Strip. The whole world is watching, and this threatens to put Israel in an increasingly difficult position," he said.

"We urgently need a ceasefire and an agreement on the release of the hostages," he said. The international situation has escalated to the point where Israel is, unfortunately, finding itself increasingly isolated on the global stage.

So... we need to save Gaza and Palestinians not for their own sake but to help Israel out of a difficult position? What a cynical and fucked-up way of thinking. I think I understand why he and increasing numbers of esp. German politicians bend themselves into pretzels over this: trying to appease public opinion while still supporting the industrial-military complex and the state of Israel, while trying not to appear pro-genocide. Worms.

The other person pulled you into defending yourself against a ridiculous claim.

If that's the best they have to offer...

I have tons of respect for these guys, imo they were the closest we ever got to worthy heirs of Monty Python. But over the years they did too much shitty stuff, too.

I see nothing in that post that isn't business as usual - except the fact that Medvedev and Trump, two man babies, apparently got into a fight.

Submarines are always stationed in "appropriate positions". This is just deflecting from other issues, you know...

That said I'm not underestimating the danger the Trump admin poses for the world, generally.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

lol the insults.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 8 hours ago

IMHO what Trump writes about is just business as usual. Standard posturing (both literally and figuratively) that is happening anyhow all the time on all sides. Anyhow, all it says is "appropriate positions", so I counter: shouldn't military submarines always be in "appropriate positions"?

Normally you wouldn't ~~tweet~~ ~~truth~~ lie about something like that at all. My guess is one of his PR people thought a little fearmongering might distract from other issues...

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

And way too coherent, grammatically correct, generally making sense.

It's always so obvious what he wrote himself and what some PR person wrote for him.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

there should be an “on” in place of “to” there?

No.

Is it correct grammar?

Yes.

is this some weird quirk of the second language experience

Probably connected to how your native language would construct a similar sentence.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly this is just standard posturing, no threat. Not revealing exact positions either. Putin probably does this sort of shit daily (not on social media though).

Anything to distract from more pressing issues as you said.

And he clearly did not write this one himself.

Taunting North Korea's leader in 2017 by calling him "Rocket boy"*, that was a different matter: for a moment we all held our breath. Ultimately nothing happened, he even stumbled into probably his one and only diplomatic win, but still: that was inflammatory.

* (and any number of similar tweets since then; that was just the first one while in office)

 

Oder, wie kann man das konfigurieren dass sie sich nicht überlappen, bzw. das Programm das sie ausführen. Und am liebsten so dass der zuletzt gestartete nachgeholt wird sobald möglich.

Ich weiss dass ich sowas auch im Skript codieren kann, aber ich dachte mir 💡sollte systemd hier nicht glänzen?

Meine Suchmaschinenbändigungskünste funktionieren grad nicht so gut.

Danke im voraus.


Zur Zeit habe ich das allersimpelste was es gibt:

[Unit]
Description=irgendwas

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/irgendwas

Normalerweise wird dieser Service über einen Timer gestartet, wird manchmal aber auch bei Dateiänderungen getriggert. Bzw. Das Skript. Das ist eben die Frage, was ist da besser: Das Skript direkt triggern und eine Lock-Funktion einbauen, oder kann man da auf systemd vertrauen?

 

After my previous server got hacked (presumably), I am now looking for new solutions to my needs. CalDAV/CardDAV is a big one.

So far I switched from a content management system (PHP) to a static site generator for my blog, and I'm not looking back.

I wonder if it makes sense to also step away from PHP wrt CalDAV/CardDAV.

As ever so often, this list has some nice info.

I'd like to keep dependencies low. Python would be a good choice because it's already installed on my Debian Stable system. But would it be safer?

Back when I started this compatibility with clients was an issue; but I don't use Android anymore. In any case, is this still an issue?

edit: no, I don't use a web based app; and I'd prefer the server doesn't require admin via web UI either.


Thanks for all your replies! I chose Radicale, already set it up. Only what is needed, simple config files. Very nice. It runs under an nginx reverse proxy and they communicate encrypted (and of course the outside is also encrypted and password-protected). And the web UI can be disabled.

The documentation is very tutorial-like and security conscious.

“Archive.Today” is a popular website for access to paid media content. Well-known domain names for the website are archive.is and archive.ph (and archive.md, archive.fo, archive.li, archive.vn).

What many users do not know: The website provides users' data to Russia.

The data goes to Mail.ru and thus to the Russian Internet company VK. A look at the website with Webbkoll shows the following Russian domain names:

  • privacy-cs.mail.ru
  • r.mradx.net
  • rs.mail.ru
  • top-fwz1.mail.ru

First and foremost, top-fwz1.mail.ru/js/code.js is integrated. Further code from Russia is then loaded.

The following applies to Russian Internet companies:

“Russia demands unconditional cooperation and extensive control options from its flourishing IT economy. It is not just about the full possession of the largest social network (VK) and the largest payment service (Mail.ru), but in the case of Yandex also to influence the entire output of Yandex News.

The data collected show which Paywall content is particularly popular in western media, but could also provide insight about their users. One can speculate about the importance of such data in the hybrid Russian war against Europe and the rest of the West.


(the following part is about the most common originating news sites in Switzerland that are to be archived. It refers to the above mentioned paywall content)

Incidentally (and in addition), anyone who pays for the paid media content must (also) expect for user data to go to Russia:

«Until recently, Ringier sent - thanks to these cookies - the IP addresses of "Blick" readers to the Russian tech company Yandex. […] Yandex is also listed at «20 Minuten». The free news portsal of the TX Group also works with the platform of the Interactive Advertising Bureau. […] The NZZ also sent data to the east. The traditional company on Falkenstrasse has integrated dozens of trackers, including from Yandex and also from Rutarget, an advertising company that belongs to the Russian Sberbank, is fully controlled by the state and is on the sanction list of the United States. »


The operators of «Archive.Today» do not open their identity. Neither an impressum nor a data protection declaration can be found on the website.

“Liberapay” in France should be able to say who operates “archive.today”. If you click on the "Donate" button at "Archive.Today", you will be forwarded to the donation platform "Liberapay".

A (more) reputable alternative is the Internet Archive at Archive.org, best known for the archiving of websites at web.archive.org.

I'm aware this isn't the biggest smoking gun ever. But this particular service is in such widespread use that I feel it's important to shine a light on it.

Of course any post with certain keywords in the title will attract weird commentary, but I think you'll find that even the most contrary ones do not dispute the facts outlined in the article - just try to play them down, or ridicule them.

It's free, it has fast servers, it doesn't ask questions of you. It's a godsent!

I want to have a mirror of my local music collection on my server, and a script that periodically updates the server to, well, mirror my local collection.

But crucially, I want to convert all lossless files to lossy, preferably before uploading them.

That's the one reason why I can't just use git - or so I believe.

I also want locally deleted files to be deleted on the server.

Sometimes I even move files around (I believe in directory structure) and again, git deals with this perfectly. If it weren't for the lossless-to-lossy caveat.

It would be perfect if my script could recognize that just like git does, instead of deleting and reuploading the same file to a different location.

My head is spinning round and round and before I continue messing around with find and scp it's time to ask the community.

I am writing in bash but if some python module could help with it I'm sure I could find my way around it.

TIA


additional info:

  • Not all files in the local collection are lossless. A variety of formats.
  • The purpose of the remote is for listening/streaming with various applications
  • The lossy version is for both reducing upload and download (streaming) bandwidth. On mobile broadband FLAC tends to buffer a lot.
  • The home of the collection (and its origin) is my local machine.
  • The local machine cannot act as a server

That's all. I just found this in a random script. Generates a random UUID every time it's called. I didn't know.

Of course I can also use uuidgen or pipe /dev/(u)random into something to get a random alphanumeric string - but this is built right into the kernel!

In /proc/sys/kernel/random/, there's also boot_id which ~~seems to do the same~~ is static, and some tweakable parameters.
