piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Paul McCartney: AI has enabled a “final” Beatles song5·2 years agoHey! You can also post this to !beatles@sopuli.xyz if you fancy :)
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto World News@beehaw.org•Met says Just Stop Oil protests have cost it more than £4.5m in six weeks7·2 years ago49 rapes by ONE cop. Never forget.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto World News@beehaw.org•Met says Just Stop Oil protests have cost it more than £4.5m in six weeks5·2 years agoI want to love but who am I kidding, the Met’s obviously saying this to justify demanding more police funding.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I just switched from my favorite distro (Linux Mint) to Debian 12 KDE Plasma.English2·2 years agoCould you share any particular points that made you switch? I’m currently on Manjaro and I was thinking of switching to Fedora. But now I’ve started hearing good things about Debian…not sure how to proceed!
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Science@beehaw.org•Indigenous control of land leads to better reforestation outcomes5·2 years agoOne of the lesser-known scandalous from American history (there’s many to choose from) is John Muir’s campaigning for the National Park Service, which is often celebrated as a great victory of environmentalism. What they don’t tell you is that Muir saw the indigenous people of California and the Pacific Northwest as ‘savages’. The NPS meant that thousands of people lost their lands, lands which they had tended for centuries, but which appeared to White observers as merely ‘virgin forest’.
What’s this?
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Why does China's government hate video games so much?English21·2 years agoThis is a common misconception, but fully understandable one. If you look into political theory, one of the first things you discover is that all governments – whether they call themselves “democratic” or not – are, before anything else, at war with the people they claim to represent.
The “people” – not rival foreign states – are the first group against which a state of at war with, whether the state in question is a monarchy, a republic, a dictatorship, a plutocracy or something else.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyztoMovie News and Discussion@lemmy.ml•Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and its totally shoehorned in colonialism that they could have easily avoided without changing the plot of the movie.English2·2 years agoHave your watched The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons? Good examples of movies where the thrill of the chase happens entirely in Western countries.
Also, did you watch the first Dune movie? I found it colonial in interesting ways too. Obviously nothing as in-your-face as Transformers.
Sometimes I feel bad about not following pop culture, but posts like these serve as reminders that I’m not missing out on much hahahaha.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I often read that (docker) containers are not good for security. What are secure methods of creating secure isolated environments to run questionable programs in?2·2 years agoI believe it can but don’t take my word for it
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I often read that (docker) containers are not good for security. What are secure methods of creating secure isolated environments to run questionable programs in?3·2 years agoGreat. I don’t know enough to use either but I think I’m going to try lean on podman from the get go. In any case, I know that all podman commands are exactly identical to Docker, such that you can replace, say,
docker compose
withpodman compose
and move on with ease.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?English1·2 years agoI stand corrected!
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?English4·2 years agoIn terms of functionality, I’d love to have a search feature such that I can search for individual posts matching my search query. I don’t think we can do that currently.
Does the federated structure make this difficult/impossible though?
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•I often read that (docker) containers are not good for security. What are secure methods of creating secure isolated environments to run questionable programs in?5·2 years agoDo you think Podman is ready to take over Docker? My understanding is that Podman is Docker without the root requirement.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.ml•Bad tech news continues - YouTube Orders ‘Invidious’ Privacy Software to Shut Down in 7 Days3·2 years agoJudging by the thread over on their GitHub, I don’t know if they’ll actually close down in 7 days. Let’s see.
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout6·2 years agoDoes this only work from a browser, or can one do it via the apps e.g. Jerboa, as well?
piezoelectron@sopuli.xyzOPto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•Noob question: How much RAM does my VPS need if...2·2 years agoThanks a lot – my provider does offer scaling up support. I’m also looking into swap partitions to artificially expand RAM.
Re-having it all on one instance, do you think Docker/Podman could help containerize everything and prevent one service from taking all others down?
