A blood offering to Molech? Sounds like a good time to me! <3

edit: as I expected, this is a hit with the tumblr mutuals

(Stop trying to get me to use ChatGPT!!! Smh)

Molech, a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice

Ohh, so that’s why specifically that god is mentioned in FAITH: The Unholy Trinity.

That won’t work for me since I have multiple people using this Nextcloud instance, and I also use it to publicly share files. I also have a big network share (currently 5 TB of data) that I would like to better integrate somehow (right now it’s available from Nextcloud read-only in essentially “anonymous mode” with no access to private user files).

I want something with a permission model that works the same when accessed over a network share (SMB, ideally NFS) and access over a web interface. Ideally it would have a Mac File Provider sync client and whatever the Windows equivalent is called as well.

Nextcloud is fine but it’s not that.

Oh my god, this seems really good and closer to what I want than anything yet. Been looking for something to replace Nextcloud and found nothing good so I might take a look at this.

Thanks! I’ll take a closer look at both then and see which I like better.

I am running a Matrix homeserver right now and yeah it’s definitely a mess.

Since you’ve used both, how do ejabberd and prosody compare to another? I was going to go with the former.

I haven't tried TrueNAS, but I use NixOS for my NAS and my other servers. It's perfect for servers imo since it's essentially a Linux system builder that you can customize to add whatever you want to your system.

The downside is that you'll have to learn a weird functional programming language, especially when you get into writing service modules yourself (for services that don't have an upstream module). And it'll take some time to get familiar with it and learn how to effectively write your configuration.

Google’s bot is fine in my book, their crawler doesn’t absolutely blast your server with web requests like other AI crawlers do. (Speaking of, I need to update my list of netblocks and UAs to get iocaine-holed.)

That said, two evil megacorps potentially fighting? I hope they kill each other.

Those people are conspiracy nuts. Don’t listen to them.

Eh, as I said I haven’t been keeping up with it and I’m starting to forget stuff. I should get back into it. I did pretty good though when I was actively learning. I’d say even one of the best in the class that were learning it from scratch.

I went to Russian classes in uni for a bit over one year, and at home I did the exercises in the workbooks we had for the course + studying vocabulary with Anki. Basically the classic way to learn a language in school.

I started learning Russian 2 and a half years ago now maybe, mostly in uni classes. Haven’t done anything in a while though. I generally think slavic languages are cool and would like to learn another actually.

Я начинала учить русский может быть 2 с половиной года назад, в основном в универе, но ничего не делала за учение в последнее время. В общем я думаю, что славянские языки круто и действительно хочу бы учить другую.

 

In which we once more delve into the world of user interface design.

Autumn 2023

Three years ago, I wrote a rant about the problems of our current UI paradigm. The complaints I voiced were hardly new or unique, neither was the text what I'd consider my best writing. It was, honestly, mostly a way to blow off steam. It seems I struck a nerve, though, because it's proven to be one of the most popular texts I've published here. For some time, I've thought about writing a follow-up, and a recent resurgence in the text's popularity prompted me to finally do so.

What were we talking about?

Usability, as defined by Wikipedia, is "the capacity of a system to provide a condition for its users to perform the tasks safely, effectively, and efficiently while enjoying the experience." Its relation to software is further specified: "In software engineering, usability is the degree to which a software can be used by specified consumers to achieve quantified objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a quantified context of use." […]

In short, usability is the ease with which a predetermined task can be accomplished. Consequently, "It looks fresh" isn't usability; it's aesthetics. Likewise, the lack of a specific program feature isn't the same as being able to use it as easily, efficiently and safely as possible. […]
