Looking for privacy focused crypto communities (infosec.pub)
 

Are there any communities that focus more on the privacy side of using crypto?

How happy are you with your current distro? in c/linux@programming.dev

I stopped distro hopping pretty much after trying arch. I still love arch, but my new love is chimera Linux.

For servers I used to run Debian stable, but these days I'm pretty set on alpine.

Sweet, just like in futurama.

You can always dig a canal to bring flooding into the business district, think outside the box!

This is obviously a crude attempt at a joke and not real advice.

As a Swede, i'm right there with you.

Pretty sure he'd be the hermit in Monty Python's "Life of Brian".

It's absolutely fine, even if something is missing you can solve that with distrobox or similar tools.

The simplicity of a lot of things, such as search engines giving you workable links, torrent pages didn't have 11 buttons that said download. Even malware was innocent and you could avoid getting into trouble by avoiding Linkin-park_Hybrid-theory.exe

Why do we even care what these tech-bro ass hats think? We already collectively know his vision apply only to "poor people".

How to deal with exhaustion? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago

So if you're "disconnecting" and you spend the first few days just sleeping or staring at the TV, that's pretty understandable. You're paying off a fair bit of "rest debt".

This is actually a very solid point, thanks!

One suggestion: instead of regularly turning off your phone, just permanently put it in silent mode.

These days, I even set it to flight mode and vibration only for notifications, and I usually never check my phone during working hours.

I love to read but have a really hard time choosing a book over television.

Have you tried audio books or podcasts? I usually switch off my screens around two hours prior to sleep and tend to listen to podcasts and audio books until I fall asleep. Important to remember is that the voice of the narrator is super important, so make you get one that make you feel comfortable.

I, probably like many others, am struggling with exhaustion that seem hard to shake. It kills my hobbies and interests one by one, it makes doom scrolling and watching stupid shows seem like the only valid activities I can handle.

I have tried the "touch grass", I regularly switch off my phone to take breaks from social media, but it is hard to find motivation to anything but sleep and watch TV on the weekends.

Are there methods to deal with this sort of exhaustion from... gestures broadly at everything ?

Edit: after the initial replies I realized I probably should mention that I already do regular therapy and take prescription drugs for depression.

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for replying and handing out advice. My plan moving forward is to get some labs done to make sure I don't have any deficiencies and have my meds adjusted if they need to be. I will try eating better, be more conscious about sleep and regular exercise.

What family sayings did you think was universal? (infosec.pub)
 

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/14650446

As I was growing up, my family had a couple of sayings I took for granted were universal, at least within my language. As I became an adult I have learned that these are not universal at all:

  • the ketchup effect. It is an expression meaning that when things arrive, they all arrive at the same time. Think of an old school glass ketchup bottle. When you hit the bottom of it, first there is nothing, then there is nothing and then the entire content is on your food.
  • faster than Jesus slid down the mount of olives. Basically a saying that implies that the mount of olives is slippery due to olive oil and Jesus slipped.
  • What you lack in memory, your legs suffer. An expression meaning that when you are forgetful, you usually need to run back and thus your legs suffer.

Please share your own weird family sayings.

The future of mobile devices? (infosec.pub)
 

I wonder if the charging port on mobile devices will go the way of the 3.5mm jack and be replaced with Qi and other wireless charging protocols. I also wonder if we will be forced into Bluetooth for all extension devices we used to connect to usb-c.

Helm chart repository (infosec.pub)
 

I'm currently setting up my homelab using k3s and helm. Normally I use the official charts from the projects themselves, but I'm a bit lost when trying to install software that don't have official helm charts. Are there any searchable trusted resources for helm charts?
