I had plain old top and it was boring. I did not know how many alternatives there were.
I’ll also have to check out cmatrix.

This is an excellent idea!


Generally, no. On some cases where I’m extending the code or compiling it for some special case that I have, I will read the code. For example, I modified a web project to use LDAP instead of a local user file. In that case, I had to read the code to understand it. In cases where I’m recompiling the code, my pipeline will run some basic vulnerability scans automatically.
I would not consider either of these a comprehensive audit, but it’s something.
Additionally, on any of my server deployments, I have firewall rules which would catch “calls to home”. I’ve seen a few apps calling home, getting blocked but no adverse effects. The only one I can remember is Traefik, which I flipped a config value to not do that.
After breaking “prod” many times, I have a Dev (local machine), Test (small VM) and Prod (big VM). My test is just less RAM and space and I need to spin down certain K8s things to spin up others, but it’s a close mirror of Prod, just less.


Have a conversation and listen to her. I’m guessing that her behaviors are driven by an emotion. Maybe she’s overwhelmed by the complexity. Most people who say that they don’t care about security actually prioritize ease of use over security. Unfortunately good security can be hard.
If/when you speak to her, don’t try to solve her problems during that conversation. Meet her where she’s at and empathize with her. When she’s done, you get to express your concerns and see her reacting. I’m guessing that you’re concerned that she is putting her finances at risk. Explain your concern to her.
Once you both come to a shared understanding, then you can come with some ideas for her to react to. Again, dig deep into her concerns, talking through them. You’re going to need to let some things go. It’s her life and her money and you’ll be there to help in a nonjudgemental way if anything bad happens and then you can have another conversation after the dust has settled.
I ended up with my parents having 3 passwords. One for their bank, one for their health stuff and one for everything else. The bank and health ones are long and difficult to guess, the other one is easy to remember and “good enough”.
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to do some reading on NFSv4 domain mapping this weekend.


When negotiating a deal, make your offer, listen to the response and walk away (not rudely, just…you have somewhere else to be). The first one who calls back loses. This works well for buying a car.
Edit: oops, hit submit too quickly. I used this to buy an ATV long ago and many cars since. "I can spend $XXX (know this nunber before you start). <wait for counter offer>. It’s a nice ATV, but I promised myself that I’d spend no more than $XXX. Thank you for your time. "
Can you elaborate on your last sentence? Is the US more or less trustworthy than alternatives?


I do wonder what would happen if instances continue to fragment. Will we end up with islands of instances, separated from each other by exclude lists? It sort of says something about humanity if that happens.


I assume you left Reddit for Lemmy for a reason and the beauty of Lemmy (and any federated platform) is that it’s not under the control of a single entity. If you don’t like what’s happening in one instance, you can pick up and go to another instance much easier than it was to switch from Reddit to Lemmy.
It’s working as designed. The sac is the mud flap, right?


I’ve been in earthquakes, tornadoes, a hurricane and a few floods. Also, ice and hail storms, many blizzards, thunderstorms and straight line winds. The tornadoes are always the most frightening.
The bigger of the earthquakes was just enough to move the dishes around in the cupboards so that when I went for a cup, a bunch fell out. The closest tornado hit a few streets over from where I lived and bounced, destroying every other house down one side of a street. The hurricane just blew sand around and covered the car in a sand dune. I lost several cars to floods and had to be rescued once.
I should probably go check out a tsunami some time to fill out my disaster bingo board.
Despite all the hate, I do have one of these. I used to have a box next to my furnace with a male end, wired up to the switch so that if the power went out for a longer duration in the winter, I could plug the furnace into the generator with an extension cord and heat the house. When the furnace was replaced, I was too lazy to wire up another. A friend who’s dad is a master electrician told us that in an emergency, you could flip all the breakers in the box to off including that mains, use a male to male cable to plug the generator into a wall outlet and flip on the furnace breaker and the breaker where the generator is plugged in and power the furnace that way (so long as both circuits were amp rated the same).
Of course, it came with a disclaimer that he’d deny telling us this to the insurance company and a warning that “bad things would happen” if we somehow enabled the mains to the power company.


Fear is a key driver (period). I just heard this on the radio. They analyzed what pulls people in and it’s fear. Fear also keeps people lingering longer. I didn’t hear enough to explain it (I got to my destination before the show was over). Putting it together with other things I’ve heard, the algorithms that are tuned to keep people engaged on the site skill natually choose things that stoke fear and that is probably the same thing that the facist propaganda is promoting, too.


How is it a troll for attention? What kind of attention? Does it really matter on the internet?
True or not, it’s really only a relatively new problem and only in western cultures (to my limited knowledge.) It wasn’t that long ago in Europe where kids, specifically girls, had a mate chosen for them, especially in upper classes. In India, it’s still a prevalent tradition. It’s really only western cultures that have the “love conquers all” ideal. Personally, I find it fascinating to talk to people who are successful and happy in an arranged marriage.
I’d be mostly ok with it because of noise canceling headphones, but when the neighbors rev it up and down and up and down, the headphones can’t keep up. When the other neighbor’s lawn service comes, they use it on high speed for 7.5 minutes, then go away and I barely hear it.


This is a pretty good read and explains that it’s not a supply issue.

A paradox: in 1970, everyday Americans found it relatively easy to afford a house, and the average American house cost 5.9x the average American income. In 2024, Americans find it nearly impossible to afford a house, and the average American house costs…5.9x the average American income.


I’d love to find a cooking community, specifically for healthy and/or vegan recipes and techniques.
edit: I actually mean plant based, not vegan.


I’ve read on other social platforms from wait staff that they would prefer tips to a living wage because they can make so much more with tips than without.
I’ve cut my dining out significantly recently because with the recent hike in restaurant prices, plus the minimum 20% tax tip, dining out is unaffordable.
Also, during covid I became an incredible cook.
I’ve been looking to do this, but haven’t found a good, easy to use pull thru proxy for docker, ghcr.io and some other registries. Most support docker only.
This one looks promising but overly complicated to set up.
A few times now, I’ve gone to restart a container and the repo’s been moved, archived or paywalled. Other times, I’m running a few versions behind and the maintainer decided to not support it, but upgrading would mean a complete overhaul of my Helm values file. Ugh!
I was considering a docker registry on separate ports for each upstream registry I’d like to proxy/cache.
