GitHub will begin charging for self-hosted action runners on March 2026 by Lazycog in c/tech@programming.dev

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

I like your comment because I always feel like I'm so late with news that someone will always point out why my suggestion is bad or even worse than the original.

But: atleast with gitlab you can partially* self host it if they are/get bad.

*afaik gitlab's SaaS (gitlab.com) isn't entirely open-source. Not sure which bits can not be self hosted.

Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work? by Lazycog in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

I'm not forced to, but occasionally my job kinda requires it so I dualboot (most of my coworkers who are on linux run a windows virtual machine when they need it).

But my previous job required windows due to all the industry specific software only working on windows. No chance of getting that to work on linux sadly. Then I just used windows at work. It's always my employer's hardware anyway and I like to keep work and free-time separate so it was ok.

AI Comes to Open Source eBook Reader Calibre by Lazycog in c/linux@programming.dev

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 81 points 2 months ago

From their release notes:

[...] Note that this feature is completely optional and no AI related code is even loaded until you configure an AI provider.

I'm glad for that part.

Solarpunk instance going offline for awhile was like a true solarpunk experience (sopuli.xyz)

First of all, I love you, slrpnk admins. You handled it all like champions! Happy to have you back.

Someone said in one one of the matrix chats during the outage that the fact that this instance is selfhosted and went down is like true experience of a solarpunk world; there won't always be power and that's okay!

Just wanted to write it down in a post since that message was so spot on.

Couldn't find more recent data. Was talking with a friend recently about their idea of moving to a rural location and we were brainstorming what the benefits and downsides are.

Is there a better way to search for/sort mechanical keyboards? (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 9 months ago by Lazycog@sopuli.xyz to c/mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33821377

I'm trying to find mechanical keyboards that are not black/grey, are standard or TKL, and are hotswappable. I have yet to find a site that allows you to sort by all three chritiria, nonetheless sort though multiple brands/sites. Has anyone made a site along these lines?

Edit: like what pcpartpicker offers for most other computer parts

Edit 2: Keeb-finder is what I was looking for. Its support for non-American stuff isn't great, but its better than nothing.

Is the community edition megathread being actively maintained? (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 9 months ago by Lazycog@sopuli.xyz to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Yarr me mateys!

~~Arrr, be ye askin' if it be true that the megathread be the community edition o' the thread, and it not be gettin' the proper swabbin' o' the decks, eh? In other words, be the community edition o' the thread bein' left to rot, without any landlubbers to keep it ship-shape?~~

Just wanted say I really appreciate the community here, and love that there is a lemmy community edition of the megathread, but was wondering if it is being maintained? It seems that the last update was in october, while the old megathread upkept by reddit's piracy community seems to be more recent.

I don't know if the old megathread is any better regarding the links, just asking if there are any people with access to community wiki that are keeping an eye on it and updating links?

I'm sorry that I myself am not active editor, I understand that we who are not on dbzer0 lemmy instance don't really have edit access on the wiki.

Arrr, thanks to ye, matey, and may the winds o' fortune blow in yer favor, givin' ye a grand day ahead!

[SWE] Swedish government wants a back door in Signal by Lazycog in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 86 points 9 months ago

You can still download the APK from their repository, install it, and use signals built in censoring-evasion setting as far as I know.

They are even working on self updating app feature IIRC.

This is why I donate to signal. I know there are decentralized alternatives but I can barely get my family and friends to use Signal.

Hej!

I know there are a lot of Norway enthusiasts as well as Norwegians / people living in Norway in this community and would like to ask if you have any product/brand recommendations to share with us at !buyeuropean@feddit.uk.

You can post directly to the community or comment here and I can pass it on as well :)

I hear you guys have some awesome wool sweater brands... please share!

!joplinapp@sopuli.xyz is an official fediverse community for Joplin, the FOSS alternative to Obsidian note taking/writing app.

I personally thought it's really cool that they decided to make an official lemmy community. Hope we can make it more active!

How it feels being a linux geek: (Why yes, I do run Mint, BTW.) by Lazycog in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I'm rich and powerful so I can violate laws and brag about it on social media by Lazycog in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 75 points 10 months ago

Rich and having good/powerful connections allows you to do anything in this world. We like to think this has changed but it hasn't in the big picture.

The only thing these people need to fear is losing significant amount of money or too many important connections...

EU medicines agency quits X, moves to Bluesky by Lazycog in c/technology@lemmy.world

This is good. I know Mastodon would be better, but right now I'm just happy that public agencies are moving away from that far-right platform owned by a fascist asshole who gained global political power because of money...
