deberon··on Texas judge rules TikTok misled users on child safety feature
This comment is just a lazy attempt at changing minds. Why don’t you get off your ass and actually institute real change in the world? We’re all waiting. This is your responsibility after all, according to me. From here on out, all unresolved problems are the fault of lynx97 being a lazy slackass. So says me, with the power of a random internet person assigning responsibilities. Consider yourself confronted. I’ll await your excuses.
deberon··on Debugging my new network, when 10 Gigabit Ethernet Runs at 300 Megabits
My guess would be that this has more to do with disk speed if your download speeds are decent. Especially if it’s wired to the internet rather than WiFi. It’s always easy to spot the console user in cross-platform lobbies because of the loading times.
deberon··on Rare medieval bookmark exceeds expectations at auction
I’ve been innovating on bookmarks for decades. Money, receipts, paint swatches, entire spiral notebooks, ripped off corners of magazines… bookmarks are everywhere!
deberon··on Meta suppressed research on child safety, employees say
Aren’t those all industries that are now highly regulated because they proved themselves to be untrustworthy?
deberon··on Cognitive decline can be slowed down with lifestyle changes
Oh shit I missed my water break. Thanks for the reminder friend.
deberon··on Matrix v1.15
There’s a surprising amount of negativity in here. Matrix is great for me. I’m happy to see the improvements. I’m also happy to hear the team is approaching sustainability. Matrix isn’t perfect but it has only improved in the 5 years I’ve been using it. I’m looking forward to what they can do in another 5 years.
deberon··on Libro: a command-line tool to track your books
Audiobookshelf has become a key service in my self hosted stack. I use it primarily for podcast management and it’s been wonderful. I use plappa on iOS as my client and the offline support is stellar. I’m building a FreeBSD port for it too so it can have a forever home on my stable server.
deberon··on Getting to 2M users as a one woman dev team [video]
This was a thoughtful comment but I’m not sure how useful it is at all due to the typo. Commendable vs commandable? I have a pet peeve for typos so your highly accomplished comment is really unworthy of the photons used to display it.

Or maybe we can be more supportive of each other and our accomplishments.

deberon··on Five minutes of exercise a day could lower blood pressure
The mind-body connection is quite real. Improving your physical state will almost certainly have a non-zero improvement on your mental state. Exercising can really help you make sense of all those other things you have going on. Not to mention that being in shape and strong makes every physical thing you do easier.
deberon··on A terrible way to jump into colocating your own stuff
The visudo command is often times available as well. It won’t let you save a malformed sudoers file. Finding other footguns though is an exercise for the reader.
deberon··on Show HN: Hacker League – Open-Source Rocket League on Linux
I just ran a test and I was able to do just as many flip resets in Hacker League as I was in Rocket League.
deberon··on Crows are even smarter than we thought
In the time it took me to learn a new programming language, my kid learned how to be a whole entire human being. Including free thought and autocorrect mode. I don’t know what makes us special in the animal kingdom, but watching that happen certainly feels special. Do whales feel the same way about their young?
deberon··on Setting up a secondary Pi-Hole on my home network
FWIW I had to undo B) just yesterday. I thought the same thing about resolving records in order but it does not. I didn’t dive too far in, but my proxy server would occasionally query my router instead of the pihole for DNS requests. Maybe I just did it wrong :)

For the record I was assigning these DNS server IPs via docker compose. So perhaps that makes a difference.

deberon··on Ubisoft Says Out Loud: We Want People to Get Used to Not Owning What They Bought
Epic took away player to player trading in rocket league just to support a new game mode in Fortnite (rocket racing). Now the only way to get items is through the item shop using real money. Have a dozen copies of the same item because you’ve been playing since 2015 and want to gift it to somebody? Too bad, not possible. Rocket League is dying, but hey at least rocket racing in Fortnite has familiar assets!
deberon··on SQLite: Wal2 Mode
We would back up double-digit GB MySQL databases by piping mysqldump into gzip as well. Like you I’m sure there’s a size limit where that doesn’t work. I never found out if it was CPU or memory constrained though.
deberon··on Pocketbase: Open-source back end in one file
There’s something to be said about drastically reducing your threat surface too. Locking down 1 server is easier than locking down a fleet. You can still have security in depth inside your server.
deberon··on How to boss without being bossy
Not sure how abrasive this would actually be in a boss v employee scenario. However, hearing people order food this way makes me cringe.
deberon··on Hospitals are reporting new mothers for neglect from poppyseed false positives
What’s the withdrawal like coming off lemon poppy seed muffins? Poor kids.
deberon··on Mastodon's founder has a vision to democratize social media
If these are your concerns you may be well served by hosting an instance on a domain you own.
deberon··on Many companies aren’t prepared to replace underperforming CEOs
I agree it’s a great model! Unfortunately the NFL has banned it (last I heard) - https://web.archive.org/web/20110813051753/http://www.sports...
deberon··on Bring Your Own Password Manager: Portable BitWarden on a Pi Zero
Docker has been a godsend for home labs. People don't need to know where on the filesystem their configs have been scattered (distro dependent). They just need to know how to docker pull and configure their container.
deberon··on The end of the manual transmission is near?
I’m not so sure that would keep the pitchforks away.
deberon··on Ask HN: I'm disabled and out of money. Now what?
What are your professional skills? I work for a chronic pain management startup and we have a lot of needs.
deberon··on Ask HN: How to keep my daughter busy while tickling her curiosity
Lots of good suggestions in here. In the end, none of us know your daughter. If you are out of ideas on things to do with her, take her with you to something you enjoy doing. If you’re enthusiastic about it, she might be too. Also, there’s nothing wrong with uneducational fun either. Watch a movie or find shapes in the clouds. Be silly and teach her how to laugh on a budget.
deberon··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
They were responding to a weed smoker who claimed to do exactly that.
deberon··on Ask HN: How to break anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle?
Don't be afraid of failure! You're tougher than that, trust me. Turns out failure is pretty easy to get over. What's harder to get over is a life full of regret.
deberon··on Ask HN: Why can't I learn anymore?
You didn’t mention much about your personal life. Your professional life sounds successful, maybe you’re looking for fulfillment somewhere else?
deberon··on A tiny Docker image to serve static websites
I actually found myself needing something like this a couple weeks ago. I use a self-hosted platform (cloudron.io) that allows for custom apps. I wanted to host a static blog on that server. Some people are happy to accept "bloat" if it does, in fact, make life easier in some way.
deberon··on I need to stop being boring
I still like to do all those things as a parent! But I AM too busy and tired to do it impromptu.
deberon··on ‘I’m Old, Not an Idiot.’ One Man’s Protest Gets Attention of Spanish Banks
I hope when you become an elder the next generation shows you the respect you are currently lacking.
