I'm Sarah. I'm a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can't do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

Greek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths, witnesses say
  • @gAlienLifeform this is what much of the EU public is voting for, cheered on by the media which finds the extreme right irresistibly sexy.

    They are voting for murdering desperate people.

    And they’re going to keep doing it, because it’s easy to push the narrative that these people aren’t human beings with hopes and fears and desires, but some amorphous threat that “must be stopped”.

    We can be better than this, but we never see to chose to be.

  • @Stopthatgirl7 if they paid attention to the opt out, they wouldn’t have asked me three times, when I said to opt out the first time.

  • After successful animal trials, human trials to begin for tooth regrowth drug
  • @uriel238 @cyu Realistically, I can't see it being cheaper than implants, and will probably need lots of orthodontic treatment when the new tooth comes through.

    I have an implant, with bone regeneration, and honestly, it's just a tooth. Even with the bone regeneration, my total time in the chair was probably less than 90 minutes.

    And, bonus, I can't get toothache in it, and if it breaks, it's 2 weeks to replace it like nothing happened.

    The only way I see this competing with implants if it's cheaper (honestly can't see that happening) or less hassle (again, seems unlikely).

    Implants are that good, and they're gonna be hard to displace as the "gold standard" to replace missing teeth.

  • Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears
  • @SpaceNoodle Well, there's the fact that for the entire time my reddit account has been in existence I have literally not once ever connected from a US IP address.

  • Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears
  • @ylai I got a long spiel as a “Reddit power user” inviting me to take part in the IPO. At the bottom it said, “you must be resident in the US”.

    They know I’m not, but they sent the mail anyway. Not inspiring confidence there, guys.

  • Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman warns AI is a ‘fundamentally labor replacing’ tool over the long term
  • @LWD @L4s Ha ha ha. No.

    It means people get to starve in poverty because society has simultaneously decided that if you are t already rich then you must work as a moral imperative, but there is no work, and so while starving in poverty is unavoidable, you deserve it anyway.

    Because we live in a fucking dystopia.

  • Alaska Airlines Grounds Fleet of Boeing 737 Max 9 Jets After Midair ‘Incident’
  • @sndrtj Point being, it’s not like this is the fuselage failing. It’s a plug that wasn’t fixed in place properly.

    This is the difference between “critical design flaw” and “someone fucked up putting it together”

  • Alaska Airlines Grounds Fleet of Boeing 737 Max 9 Jets After Midair ‘Incident’
  • @Australis13 @HowRu68 "Fuselage" is misleading here. Reports are that it was an exit door plug, which are installed as "blanking plates" in extra exit rows that aren't used in particular seat configurations.

    This suggests it was improperly installed.

    Anyone else using Mac minis as VM hosts for self hosting? My Friendica server is a Linux VM on a Mac Mini in my living room. The VM is bound to a VLAN tagged network interface so it’s completely firewalled off from the rest of my network. Also got a second Linux VM on the same box for hosting local stuff on my main VLAN (HomeBridge/etc).

    I feel like they’re really nice platforms for this, if not the cheapest. Cheaper than one might think though; I specced up an equivalent NUC and there wasn’t a lot of difference in price, and the M2 is really fast.

    I have an #OpenWRT router. Let’s say I install Tailscale on it and want to create an interface that specifically routes to one of my exit nodes. Can I do that?

    Everything I’ve seen about Tailscale on OpenWRT just provides direct router access to the tailnet (100.x.x.x), but I specifically want to route certain traffic to an exit node.

    Can I do this? Do me proud, Fediverse! Hoping I can get good answers here without resorting to Reddit.

    So I got a warning that nginx proxy manager hadn't been renewing my certificates for a while tonight.

    So I got a warning that nginx proxy manager hadn't been renewing my certificates for a while tonight.

    Tried to renew them manually.

    It broke, everywhere, badly. Ended up reinstalling from scratch, even on a different machine, but it Would Not Work. Kept throwing internal NPM errors.

    Is it currently broken? I've resorted to a manual nginx config for now. but it's not ideal. Anyone else seeing flakiness from nginx proxy manager?
