Reporting in, I’m one of them. Always buying shit for the kids to keep em occupied for several hours a day so I can finally mange to get a Gaming session on on the Switch 2 ^/s

Assuming you do have a place to host it (even at home on your PC, or an old PC, not necessarily reachable from the internet), and assuming you know a bit about docker, it’s quite easy actually.

Where it all started for me: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker

Note that the example above in the beginner variant uses Caddy as a webserver which - by default - assumes you’re running it on a server that can be publicly reached from the internet and won’t start up correctly otherwise - e.g. at home - unless you change some config.

Yes, im in the Matrix chat - thanks!

LOL, at a quick glance one might even be able abuse a scheduled job on free-tier GitHub runner for the data update and host it statically on GitHub pages.

“Serverless for the poor”

Not the person you replied to, but: my own on my server. Con: I have to do the administration. Pro: I started using it, noted my preferred default settings and just set those as a server side default where possible. Also I have full control over which engines are enabled per default and which are available generally.

Took me a bit to tweak it, though.

Probably right after we completed moth month

Hey, Lemmy (or ChatGPT): Draw me an meme of a giant beanstalk growing from rich soil. It’s roots find their nutritions from the corpse of Saddam Hussein in a grave under the earth of the beanstalk. The beans on the beanstalk glow in a bright light, reminiscing a street lantern. Moths are flying around, attracted by the “beans of light”. Make the meme text something about the pun “beans of light”.

Is there standards body that promulgates them?

Is him launching (or ordering to launch) a nuke considered as an official act? Just asking…

It’s not as HTML. It’s just that PDF is a structured file format (as is html, but very different). There are libraries for most programming languages that allow you to edit this structure.

*pipes, as those do have a few holes

Unless you’re in Cyberpunk 2077 - then you’ll only get fans complaining that you used the wrong type of manhole covers in your game…

I wonder if there is a real reason why it’s needed, or they just engineered themselves into a bad corner…

Same. They do have some features that sound kinda sane and may play a role here - like the system field are write protected. Programs can request to run a script on start-up to modify them before the write-protection kicks in. Also they might want/think it’s a good idea to run some part of the updates on the new kernel version instead of the old one or maybe do a cleanup on a successful boot or so. Also, maybe they want to force a reboot straight to Windows before the update is finished to prevent problems with dual boot - that could rule out “install and shutdown and only continue with the remainder on the next boot”. Also it might be for convenience, as the next boot is as fast as usual and you do not see 10 mins of “applying updates” when you didn’t calculate with that.

But if you offer “install and shutdown”, it should shutdown in the end and not stay on the lock screen and hopefully go into sleep mode…

So… Is the company on question a construction company or a brothel?

Can’t blame you. My wife left with the kids, I stayed at home to do some work. About 5 mins later, I get a call from her, that she forgot something at home. I told her to turn around and I’d await her at the curb in front of our house with $thing. As it was summer, I just went out barefoot, walked to the street, gave it to her and went back in the house again. Only after walking around a bit in the house I noticed bloody footprints on the floor. I managed to somehow step into something outside and not feel it. I wasn’t even drunk…

I somewhat get it - end as much processes as possible, apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder. My pet peeve is just that it should automatically shut down after applying the updates instead of staying at the lock screen, when I say install and shutdown…

Last week I noticed that Lemmy doesn’t like certain characters when posting URLs and silently replaces them - in my case %20 got converted into + which broke my link. I experimented a bit with other „percent encoded“ values and there are more that get replaced.

I’m currently collecting a bit of data to open a bug report - links even get changed when put in a codeblock or inline code…

Check this comment out where I used every possible value from %00 to %FF in URLs. The second half (above %80) gets wild

2)There’s nothing you can’t “undo”. I think you’re overthinking this.

Adding to this: Deploying via Docker (or podman or k8s or…) and/or installing every host via Ansible makes this even easier.

The soundtrack is a banger
