It’s your phone, it’s your app store, it’s your browser, it’s your email, it’s your storage, it’s your search, it’s your maps, it’s your music, it’s your news, it’s your credit card, it’s your password manager

Google is so deeply integrated into most people’s lives that they can’t imagine going without it.

Somewhat unrelated, but wtf is the link you posted? The full (currently broken) link is:

https://infosec.pub/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Flemmy.today%252Fapi%252Fv3%252Fimage_proxy%253Furl%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fupload.wikimedia.org%25252Fwikipedia%25252Fcommons%25252F0%25252F00%25252F%252525C5%25252581ajno_ko%252525C5%25252584skie_400.jpg

Which, URL decoding the proxied URL, gives you:

https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.today%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252F0%252F00%252F%2525C5%252581ajno_ko%2525C5%252584skie_400.jpg

Decoding once again:

And one final time actually gets to the original link: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Łajno_końskie_400.jpg

The AI companies are inbreeding intentionally now? Wonderful!

It’s a sure sign of a healthy non-bubble economy when a random Substack post can cause a stock market crash.

Turns out organisms are mostly made up of elements that are very common in the environment, which makes sense if you think about it.

That’s odd, maybe it has to do with symlinks? Adding --dereference to the du command will count the file size of the files referenced by symlinks. If that doesn’t show anything abnormal, I’d compare the directory sizes between your home directory and the rsync backup and try to find where they differ significantly. If it does show a much larger size, narrow down the location of the relevant symlinks (may be a hidden directory) and either delete them or exclude them from the rsync.

You can rerun the du command with --count-links to count hardlinks multiple times. If that shows >780GiB you have a lot of hardlinks somewhere, which you can narrow down by rerunning the command on each of the subdirectories in your home directory.

Your options would be to delete the hardlinks to decrease your total file size, exclude them from the rsync with --exclude, or repartition your SSD to a filesystem that supports hardlinks.

BTRFS supports compression and deduplication, so the actual disk space used might be less than the total size of your home directory. I’d run du -sh --apparent-size /home/sbird to check how large your home dir actually is. If it’s larger than 780 GiB, there’s your problem. Otherwise there might be hardlinks which rsync is copying multiple times; add the -H flag to copy hardlinks as hardlinks.

Felt kinda sad about it, but I feel sad most days so it’s not really any different. Hung out with a friend which was nice.

I remember doing that as a kid, the wax makes fine candles.

The color the baby will be? I think they usually come out pretty red.

The copyright doesn’t apply to the event of Vance being booed itself, it applies to that specific video recording of it. Sure the video creator is a dick for getting it taken down, but they’re within their legal rights to.

0/10, terrible cable management.

The next line implicates the de.mschae23.grindenchantments mod; seems like a pretty clear starting point for troubleshooting.

Your own email domain + an account at a privacy respecting email service is more than worth it. Avoids the privacy nightmare that is using Google/Microsoft for your email, and gives you the flexibility to change email providers on a whim if your current one starts doing anything you don’t like.

Online backups should be an absolute last resort in the case of something catastrophic like a house fire, not your only copy of important data. Losing them should just mean a little less redundancy in that regard.

DNS based ad blocking does not block YouTube advertisements.

I guess it makes it easier to find/verify the owner if they lose it? (Though there are better ways to do that). Still feels weird.
