Could you get a more comically evil, stereotyped representation of the bourgeoisie than this picture and title? Truly his kind should be given no remorse.

I think the acceleration is the crucial part, the speed you are going at is irrelevant, just the change in speed

Unit 42 refrained from specifying a motive or objective related to Wagemole. However, it did point out that the US Department of Justice and FBI have reported that North Korean tech workers send their wages home, where they are used to fund weapons programs.

And your salary in any western nation is not used to fund weapons programs???

If he means the massacre being carried out with his involvement of the semitic peoples of Palestine, he's right

Can't read this in authoritarian Europe, the regimes won't allow it. I'm even on a VPN out of terf island and into Rich banker mountain land, but they banned it too

This sounds ridiculous, some floating barely visible text? Like it is one of those subliminal messages? If Huawei actually does this on purpose that is unfathomably based. But I feel like he's just been hacked?

I don't know the ideologies of the protestors, but I do agree with protesting against "big cycling". Cycling around on a trusty steel bike which you can repair yourself is environmentally friendly. Buying a new carbon fiber bike every few years because it is 2% more aero than the last is not. Instead of standardized parts, the cycling industry wants you to buy cheap ones that break fast, and can only be replaced with their specific parts. They sell this to you by including some upgrades in chains, cassettes etc. The cycling industry is the same as any other industry, it exists to make profits. Truly sustainable things do not come from making profits.

I agree that this is very bad on google’s part of course, however I don’t think the schools should just lie down and take it. As others have said, installing their own OS should be the way to go. It doesn’t need to be 1 person manually installing the OS on each laptop, there are Infrastructure automation tool like Ansible that can, once set up, manage installation and configuration of an arbitrary number of devices. All the device needs to do is launch a web browser from what I understand, and pretty much every linux distro should be able to do that. If they choose one with a friendly DE, then it makes it easier to use for the kids. The devices will most likely run much better on an OS without bloatware too.

I’m wondering if there are any good foss apps for connecting to a garmin bike computer (520) to transfer GPX files?

I used to use Komoot to generate my routes, and then their garmin app would download them from my account. This isn’t very foss, so I was looking for some better tools to make this work.

I was planning to use OsmAnd to create the route file, but then after that I would have to use Garmin Connect to transfer the file. (and with storage sandboxing, that would be very fiddly)

Any tips?

(also sorry, don't know how to crosspost)

Sailing to escape (whiskers.bim.boats)

Hello sailors, I just wanted to share my hopes to one day be living in a sailboat off grid. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, or any recommendations anyone might have? I have read some books on the matter, such as Get Real, Get Gone, and found it very informative. At this stage, when I cannot leave land for at least a few more years, I am thinking of getting a smaller sailboat to practice with and do some small trips.

Anyone know any good spots for hiding away in Snowdonia? Planning a trip there.

Hi there, I just wanted to quickly share an issue that we worked through to do with database corruption. Perhaps there are some learnings or improvements that can be made to the backend handling of database connections/transactions to stop this happening in the future?

Problem

The activity table in lemmy db had 1 duplicated record, which we noticed when trying to reindex the db.

Cause

We suspect that the cause was due to duplicating the docker stack that contained our lemmy services. We are running these as docker swarm services. I think there was a short moment in time where two lemmy backend services existed, and were on the same network as the database, and therefore they both wrote to the activity table at the same time. afaik, it should not be possible to do this, if transactions are being used.

The second potential cause was stopping the old stack, but we're pretty sure that the services are meant to be stopped gracefully, but this is worth checking.

Fix

we copied out the activity table to a new table, and then copied all of the records to another table that did not have a unique key constraint. this allows you to search for the duplicate keys and remove them. verify that the duplicate is removed, then we performed the operation on the activity table and reindexed it. this resolved the issue.

tldr

be careful when stopping your stack, and also when duplicating it. definitely set up regular backups of your db, and I also feel that some regular backups should be built into the lemmy postgres image.
