Technically, yes, but only in that your battery can be explosive, given the right circumstances. Really, they’re more highly combustible than explosive. They can burn very very hot and very quickly, but they won’t detonate.

I love Debian, but I’d still put it more in the advanced category than Ubuntu. Not much, but it does rely more on the user understanding how Linux systems work.

Yeah, for newbies I always recommend sticking to the big distros meant for ease of use. Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, or openSUSE. Only once you’re familiar would I recommend venturing into the harder and lesser known distros.
Once you pick one of those, you can download a “spin” or “edition” for the desktop environment you want. So, you’d want Lubuntu for Ubuntu+LXQt.

If you want the actual reason, this is called reengagement, and its purpose is to get users to use the app again, meaning more ad revenue. Subscription apps don’t do this because they want the user to forget about the app so they get paid while providing no service. But ad driven apps only get paid when you see an ad on the app, so they’ll send these reengagement notifications. Social media apps will use something like “This post picked for you”, or “This many people viewed your profile”. Same thing.

The Auto Industry Finally Has a Plan to Stop Electric Vehicle Fires
hperrin 3 days ago • 100%
Often enough that race car drivers wear fire removedant, self extinguishing suits for when that happens. There’s even a rating system for how long a suit will protect you from second (and thus, third) degree burns when engulfed in flames during a vehicle fire.
Obviously, you don’t have to be soaked in burning gasoline for it to kill you, but if you are soaked in it, you can’t run away from the fire once you exit the vehicle. You, yourself, have to be extinguished, because you are the thing that is on fire.

Gas tanks, by design, are not confined. The fuel needs to get into the engine to do its job. In an ICE vehicle, there’s fuel in a lot more than just the tank.
68% of car fire deaths resulted from a fire first started by flammable/combustible liquid ignition (fuel), and 63% of car fire deaths happened after collision or overturn.
Surprisingly, the deaths counted in this study were not imaginary people. They were real people driving real cars, that really lost their lives.

That gas vehicles are dangerous because the gasoline can exit the tank, and the fire can spread that way. If the occupants are unfortunate enough to get soaked in that gasoline, a fire can be immediately deadly. It may be easier to extinguish, but it’s still more dangerous in an accident.

I need some help remembering a song. I only have bits of lyrics. It’s sung by a girl with a French accent. The parts I can remember are more spoken than sung. Talking about a cafe she says “the one you like on your street”. Another line is “after we would head to the cinema”. The song is directed at an ex she considers “stolen” from her and talking about dating and what could have been between them.
https://hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/nephele In the latest version of Nephele, you can now create a WebDAV server that deduplicates files that you add to it. I created this feature because every night at midnight, my Minecraft world that my friends and I play on gets backed up. Our world has grown to about 5 GB, but every night, the same files get backed up over and over. It's a waste of space to store the same files again and again, but I want the ability to roll back our world to any day in the past. So with this new feature of Nephele, I can upload the Minecraft backup and only the files that have changed will take up additional space. It's like having infinite incremental backups that never need a full backup after the first time, and can be accessed instantly. Nephele will only delete a file from the file storage once all copies that share the same file contents have been deleted, so unlike with most incremental backup solutions, you can delete previous backups easily and regain space. Edit: So, I think my post is causing some confusion. I should make it clear that my use case is specific for me. This is a general purpose deduplicating file server. It will take any files you give it and deduplicate them in its storage. It's not a backup system, and it's not a versioning system. My use case is only one of many you can use a deduplicating file server for.
I talk about my beliefs about what happens during the process of death, and how that can provide comfort as an atheist.
Does anyone have any recommendations for bug trackers with a forum feature? Basically something where users can report issues, request features, and ask questions, all about a specific service. Preferably, I’d like something that integrates with GitHub issues, but that’s not a requirement. Also I’d like something like a public roadmap or project tracker.

At this point, I’ve got a lot of containers already running on my system, all in separate directories in my home directory. They’re each set up with a docker-compose file, and all of the volumes are just directories within those directories. I don’t really want to change this setup, because it allows me to easily rip it all out and transplant it to a new system. What I’d like is a web UI to see all of these containers, view their status, and potentially reboot them. It would also be great to be able to spin up VMs (not containers, but actual VMs) with it. I’ve heard of Portainer, but haven’t had any experience with it. What are your suggestions, and why do you recommend them?
You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
After a lot of work (cause I’m new to it), I published my **first Docker image**! Nephele is an open source WebDAV server written by yours truly. I’ve been using it for about a year now on my own home server. It basically acts as my self hosted cloud storage and all of my PCs and my family’s PCs back up to it. It’s FOSS, so use it for your own project. :)

When you're talking to an open source dev, just remember that they are literally giving you their time for free, and they are people who don't like to be treated poorly. Edit: Just to be clear, I don’t mean any ill will toward the guy. He’s frustrated and he’s just taking it out in the wrong venue at the wrong people, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. Edit 2: The reinstalling he’s talking about is NPM. So just running `npm install`. It’s because he tried removing the `node_modules` directory, which is a reasonable thing to do, but it means you need to reinstall the modules with that command.
I spent two hours today trying to figure out why Nextcloud couldn’t read my data directory. Docker wasn’t mounting my data directory. Moved everything into my data directory. Docker couldn’t even see the configuration file. Turns out the Docker Snap package only has access to files under the `/home` directory. Moral of the story: never trust a Snap package.

Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin, and I made a new email service called Port87. Gmail was a great email service back in 2006, but now it just sucks. They put ads in your inbox that look like unread emails to trick you into clicking them. To me, that means Gmail is malware. I’ve been degoogling my life for the past 7 years, and Gmail is the last Google service I depended on. I love ProtonMail and use it too, but I developed a new way to sort email automatically, and wanted to write my own service based on it. Port87 lets you use a tagged address like yourname-netflix@port87.com, and that automically creates a “netflix” label and puts all email to that address in it. This helps keep your email organized automatically, and protects against spam and phishing. The database abstraction library I wrote for Port87 is called [Nymph.js](http://nymph.io/), and it’s open source. Also the UI library I wrote is called [Svelte Material UI](https://sveltematerialui.com/), and it’s open source too. I hope you all like it, and hopefully it can help migrate away from Gmail.
port87.com
Port87 is an email service that automatically organizes your email based on the "To" address. If you give the address "yourname-netflix@port87.com" to Netflix, then all of their email will go in the "netflix" label in your account. This lets you organize your email when you give out your email address. It also prevents phishing, since an email from "Bank of America" in your "netflix" label is obviously phishing. Labels meant for human senders, like the "friends" label (yourname-friends@port87.com), can be set to screen senders, so Port87 will respond to any new senders with a link to click to prove they're a human. Your "bare address" (yourname@port87.com) only responds to emails with a list of your public label addresses, so you can share it all over the internet without fearing spam. (For example, mine is [hperrin@port87.com](mailto:hperrin@port87.com).) Full disclosure: I created and operate this service.
Once loaded in the app, the screen goes black and you cannot do anything. It started happening with a comment, so it’s not the post itself, but some comment on the post.
I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.
Warning: I’m not joking and there’s no way to get out without force quitting Voyager.
This just started today. It will flash when I scroll, but it usually stays disappeared once I stop scrolling. I tried rebooting the app, but it’s still happening.
Hi, I’m Hunter Perrin. I created an email service called Port87. I have ADHD, and keeping my email organized has always been a struggle. Three years ago, I started using a new organization strategy for my email where I’d add plus tags and use filters to move them into labels, “hperrin+whatever@gmail”. This worked for a few months until I got lazy and stopped creating the filters. Then my inbox slowly became just as messy as before. So I spent the last two years writing my own email service that does it automatically. You can’t even use your address without a label. Everything is organized based on the address you give out, so I have an address for everything. Anyway, I wanted to share this with you guys. It’s my experience of using my own email service. Obviously, I’m biased, but I still think it’s a valid take on the struggles of email organization with ADHD. If nothing else, maybe the plus tag system can help you out with your current email provider. :)
QuickDAV It lets you transfer files and folders over your network from/to your phone, tablet, or other PC.
