Hi how hard is it for a complete beginner to setup a nonfederated synapse server at hardware at home? I am looking for a FOSS solution for a selfhosted messenger for family and friends to stay away from the corporations and governments and people recommend mostly either xmpp or matrix but the guides seem too complicated( Can you share the guide(s) that you’ve followed?

So did I miss the squashposting this fall or did you guys leave the best for the end?

I don’t care

This kind of experience is very personal and I guess depends a lot on our hardware - I’m having an opposite of what you’re describing, never had any problems with running and installating software under wine (although I don’t use any windows programs anymore) but had lots of problems with dual booting. I honestly don’t understand anymore why anyone would install windows in general and why does one need two or more OSs installed on a single machine, if I want to tinker with another OS I can run it in a VM or run it from a Live environment from a CD or USB stick. One system is enough to operate a computer and it makes sense to use one that respects our freedom.

Advice from personal experience as a simple user - you don’t need dual boot. One machine = one system. Run win apps with wine. Win upgrades can and will break your bootloader and make you normal Linux partition unbootable. Multiboot is used by professionals for specific tasks.

You never leave your shower?🥺

There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:

1. different bacteria live on different parts of the body, makes sense to use different towels for different parts of the body that don’t come into contact much
2. if when you leave the shower you feel that you can’t use one towel for the whole body you should go back to the shower

By making thigs worse I was referring to the fact that AI centers already require too much energy

So it doesn’t stop LLMs from data farming but makes it spend more energy on doing so? If that’s the case it sounds like that it’s making things even worse

I was trying to count calories for my soup, some ingredients had calories on the package, but vegies and meat didn’t, so I went to online calculators. None of them were capable of measuring ingredients in grams - I have kitchen scales so can easily weight raw ingredients and put them in the calorie calculator, but all of them measure food in servings instead of concrete number, like what is one serving of my soup? And are the calories for raw ingredient going to be the same after being cooked? The only way to measure calories is to dehydrate it, burn in a special chamber and count the ammount of excluded energy. You can find people onlain making claims like “I’ve eaten 2017 kcals today”, but like how did you measure that 17 kcals with such a precision? The measurements I got from online calculators gave me a 500 kcal range of error, as in a serving of my soup could be 400 kcals or 900 kcal and again those are just estimates made from combining known calories of raw ingredients. Calories are for scientists and experiments, without equipment you can’t actually calculate the calories, just like you can’t really measure how many calories did you burn during the workout, again the range of error is huge, it’s good to keep in mind the calories in calories out idea, but actually measuring them is not for the 99% of thr population

Maybe they wanted to say that posting it on imgur would male it funnier

Wait is it September already?

What kind of intensive labour are you required to perform at night in this occupation?

You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends. Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.

I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.

Don’t ever work at night unless you are a medical worker. Active labor at night must be banned.
