Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker's guide, there's:

“You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”

“What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”

“You ask a glass of water.”

Which does fit, even if it's not necessarily a "well-known phrase"

Weird flirting would have been my guess

Or even just a bad attempt at small talk

They can, but it's not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don't use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you're interested in the exact details.

I'm gonna clean my room up and get a (feminine! Yay!) Haircut

I also wanna go out at some point during this week, socialize with people I don't know yet

They're trying to block adblockers again, it seems. I got the "adblockers are not allowed" popup again recently.

At a guess, closed captions can't really be done live nearly as well. Also, can't have those if you're there IRL

It's (genuinely) interesting that big-time AI enthusiasts always assume that if you dislike AI, it's because you don't know how to use it (and not because they have different priorities or have conceptual issues with it or such). It was the same thing with crypto and NFTs.

I know a good amount of very skilled developers who tried AI several times in different contexts, and always found the tradeoffs much too bad to be worth it (in terms of accuracy, precision, cost, speed, whatever), and yet they still get "oh you just haven't tried my favorite AI tool".

It's anarchy for the hierarchies, not for the components of the hierarchies

Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That's... a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn't figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it's in a context menu in nautilus, without it's in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it's not the right tool for the job here.

I don't want to "have the folders connected", I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

 

Hey,

I want to be able to access my projects from my laptop and my desktop, without syncing build folders (patterns are okay for this) or large data folders (manually selected is preferable for those). A bonus would be to be able to selectively keep files remote to use less storage space.

I also want to sync some regular documents and class notes, but everything is able to do that at least.

Syncthing "works" for this, but it doesn't have a web file browser or a "main" hoster, so I don't think it's quite the right tool.

I recently installed owncloud, and its desktop sync can almost do this, but it can't keep files local without uploading them (otherwise it seems pretty good!). Seafile hasn't worked at all for me, and ime nextcloud is decently painful and has way too many features I don't need at all.

Am I using the wrong tool for the job? Is there a way to accomplish what I want to accomplish?

 

My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it's plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?

I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.

 

I have a few selfhosted services, but I'm slowly adding more. Currently, they're all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn't put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?
