I think most people are way more influenced by nudges than they would believe or expect, as anyone who is successful in sales well knows.

More like proton makes windows binaries not dependent on windows.

I heard Postgres was originally created in 1966 by Doug Englebart to store vectors for early mouse designs.

LTT is not sincere.

It’s the Pro Wrestling of tech. It’s Tech Entertainment. The focus is drama instead of technical accuracy or knowledge sharing. He “lost the match” because he never intended to win.

What did you like most about it?

Running the inotify script as a service as root would require only one instance. You could trigger it on close_write and then run setfacl to add ACL entries to the new file for all the share users.

If you can’t add a daemon or service to the system then you can skip inotify and just slam a cron job at it every minute to find new files and update their perms if needed. Ugly but effective.

Another option to consider: You could write a little script that changes umask, copies files, and changes it back. Tell people they must use that “share_cp” script to put files into the share dir.

If you are concerned about the new California law it is important to point out that the California law only applies to Operating Systems vendors and providers. It does not apply to end users.

For example, if you obtain a copy of a Canadian linux distro and install and use it on your computer in California, you aren’t breaking any law.

Ah, I see. Well its ugly, but you could inotify to trigger a tiny script to update the perms when files are added or copied to the share dir.

I’m pretty sure you can do this by adding default user entries to the directory acl which will then be set on files added to that dir.

To be clear, I’m not trying to discourage you from posting about your project and I think you should always pursue such personal challenges.

I also think it helps others better contextualize your project if you include a bit in your post about your motivation (like in your reply).

To me, it’s also very nice to mention alternatives you are aware of and how your project compares to them. “It’s doesn’t do as much as Handbrake but it’s simpler” is a selling point for some people.

What makes this better than Handbrake?

People are lazy

Yeah, that tracks. It sounds like Type 1 Laziness: people who don’t want to do anything.

I sense you make this because you are Type 2 Lazy: Happy to learn and make 100 new things to avoid having to do a boring thing more than once. That’s something I can both appreciate and relate to.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but what is the use case for this?

Hey! My sound works perfectly up to 95% of the time!

Other than Friendica, Mastodon, Matrix, PeerTube and PieFed, what’s worth running on a Docker instance with 8 VCPUs, 16GB of RAM and around 300GB of storage?

I usually do it the other way around. I figure out what I want to run and at what scale and then I get the server.

You can certainly do all that learning with or without directly connecting the fiber to your firewall pc. For a mini pc you will likely need to get a USB to SFP adapter. If you want to go that route I suggest searching for compatible hardware recommendations and get a USB to SFP that has worked well for others.

Personally I would stick with the ISP modem. In any case, happy learning!

This is working fine with no issues.

It seems like a lot of time and effort with no upside except having one device in the place of two. Is there more you are hoping to accomplish with this proposed change?

As far as I know you can change the audio output per app but not per monitor.

I live in an apartment with a very small fridge that has a tiny freezer inside it. I got a small chest freezer that I use for storage. I only use the one in my fridge for freezing stuff, then it moves to the chest freezer.

Do you do meal planning and if so do your plans include your frozen stuff?

Yes, and freeze sauces, soups, and stews in ice cube trays and then into freezer bags for easy portioning later. This was life changing advice for me.
