Oh thanks for the heads up, I should've read it more carefully :P
I recently stumbled upon a problem: I wanted the stdout of a `command` task to be printed after execution, so I toggled the global `-v` flag. However, the `service` module is apparently verbose as shit and printed like a 100 lines and uhh.... that's a costly tradeoff O_o Seems like a PR for a task-level `verbosity` keyword [has been proposed, yet rejected](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/74888). I'm aware it's possible to just register the stdout of the `command` and print it in a following `debug` task, but I wonder if there's a prettier solution. How would you go about this? Ever encountered such a feeling?

Based in Israel, don't get anything. This is standard as our contacts usually specify that a third of our salary is legally considered compensation for overtime.
There's no defined schedule, it's mostly "whoever is available will take care of the incident, and if multiple people are available then they should join too". It will obviously not go smoothly if you're never available. This is terrible, I wonder if there are any other places that behave like this.
It should be noted that this isn't weird considered the working hours are quite bad compared to the OECD, not terrible though.

Saw the post here regarding CentOS's off-springs and a couple of people brought up the excellent point of: why play with fire? Let's just stick to Debian. The only disadvantage I currently see is the outdated packages, and I'm curious whether makedeb solves them. Does anyone here use it regularly? How stable and comfortable is it? Did you write your own PKGBUILDs?

I feel the same and I've been using Python for years professionally. It's the lack of examples for me; usually functions and classes aren't meant to be used as-is but rather fed as an argument into some other function or class, and this info is seldom portrayed in the func's documentation. E.g. the documentation of BaseHTTPRequestHandler
is one that I trip over every single time, I have to resort to reading the source code of SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
to remember how handlers are supposed to be defined 🐺

Nah I thought the same but then I manually checked it. In most of the image posts I see, the image URL starts with lemmy.org.il, which made me wonder whether they're actually downloaded or it's some kind of whacky proxy. So I downloaded some of these pics and looked for files of identical size and hash digest, and indeed they were on my disk!
It's not a bad decision to cache pics, because it does make the experience really smooth, and I'm not complaining about it. Mastodon does this as well
maor 1 year ago • 83%
Yeah, pretty big storage requirement due to the way pictrs works. Pictrs is the piece of software Lemmy relies upon to manage image storage, uploads, and most importantly: caches pictures from other instances. This takes up a HUGE amount of storage space, and there's no official way to clear this up, see these posts I recently made: first one, second one. The solution I resorted to is renting a 1TB storage box from Hetzner for 3 euros per month, pretty sweet deal but I was kinda annoying by it. So the cheapest deal I could find costs me 6 euros per month: 3 for an Alma Linux ARM VPS from Hetzner, and 3 for that storage box. If you're in for the fun in tinkering (I sure as hell am in), then get ready for a good time. Other than that, if your main line of reasoning is to take burden off of lemmy.world, then I think just go ahead and join another instance. Better yet: join croud funding of another instnace:)

It's okay we all know the answer
maor 1 year ago • 100%
Okay, you may not gonna like it but I rented a 1TB storage box from Hetzner for 3 euros a month, just to get that foot off my neck. It's omega cheap and mountable via CIFS so life is good for now. I'm still interested in what I described in the OP, and I even started scribbling some Python, but I'm too scared of fucking anything up as of now.
The annoying part in writing that script was discovering that the filenames on disk don't match the filenames in the URLs. E.g., given this URL:
https://lemmy.org.il/pictrs/image/e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png.
You'd expect that somewhere inside volumes/pictrs
you'd find e6a0682b-d530-4ce8-9f9e-afa8e1b5f201.png
, right...? So that's not how it works, the filenames are of the exact same format but they don't match.
So my plan was to find non-local posts from the post
table, check whether the thumbnail_url
column starts with lemmy.org.il
(assuming that means my instance cached it), then finding the file by downloading it via the URL and scanning the pictrs
directory for files that match the exact size in bytes of the downloaded files. Once found, compare their checksums to be sure it's the same one, then delete it and delete its post entry in the database.
When get close to 1TB I'll get back here for this idea... :P

Haha I'm literally on it right now. My instance crashed a couple of hours ago because of it, so I emptied ~/.rustup

One of my fav Python writeups. I love Python and luckily I get to dictate how it's being written in my job, so I'm forcing types down the through of my colleagues. Saved a bunch of debugging time, so I can waste more time on Lemmy while still getting paid. Good shit

I should've mentioned it in the post, but I already tried deleting pics modified more than X days ago. The catch is that I don't wanna delete pics uploaded to my server, I just want to delete pocs cached from other instances :(
My pictrs volume got quite huge and I wanna delete pics cached from other instances. The thing is I'm not sure which pics are from my instance and which aren't, because they all have cryptic filenames. Anyone knows of a way to differentiate?
``` $ cd lemmy-dir $ du -sh * 456K lemmy-ui 15G pictrs 4.3G postgres ``` Guys this is no longer funny please I feel literally chased by the "no space left" message. Please help I don't need those pics I did not upload them

Most organizations have no set way for new members to get familiar
This is such a pain point. How come my current employer, which has 0 positive (and negative) impact on the world, has enough resources to have a proper onboarding process while my other orgs don't? Guys I think something is rotten with the current economical structure
Praxis for me now is just talking to friends who are left leaning, and continuing to educate myself. I just have little energy to do anything else, and it is frustrating.
You know, I think talking shit online is nothing to scoff at. We have a whole org here called Mahazkim which is dedicated to spamming social media with pro-palestinian stances (ignore words like "progressive" and "liberal" on their site; they carry a different meaning here). If it sounds interesting to you, I can try finding something similar for you in your area. I have a friend that works in this org so I can launch a message and she'll prolly figure something out.

I feel you, couldn't complete my degree because I hate it to the bone and it was too draining. Whatcha learning?

To be frank I got lucky here. Palestine-Israel is a tiny country and the based leftist orgs are concentrated in the three biggest cities: Jerusalem, Haifa, and Tel Aviv. Most people live around one of these three cities, with Tel Aviv notoriously being the most left leaning, and I live in its metropolitan area for work so life is good.
Now with this info in mind, I found these organizations through social media. The food security project is called Culture of Solidarity and they've made an ingenious decision of putting a strong emphasis on their Instagram presence. The women who founded this org (who I personally admire) have immense people skills and they leveraged the Corona crisis to create this network of food security.
The org I most recently got into is one that my psychologist recommended on, though :)
I've been dabbling in the past year and a half with getting into orgs, which haven't been _that_ hard since I live in a big city, but I still had trouble staying consistent with it or feeling like I have any actual impact. I went through orgs dealing with asylum seekers, unions for part-time workers, food security, fun local events that raise money for the aforementioned food security project, and now I landed in an org dealing with helping low-wage workers getting benefits that their employers stole from them. Most of them are refugees, some are Palestinians, which does feel somewhat impactful, but it's still a minority. These were all great orgs with moral people, but the catch is that I can't be passive with it like in my work. There aren't really any managers that are responsible for finding me work at these orgs, because they're busy with their own work. There are no Bullshit Jobs there. I need to ask around and find work myself. This is exhausting, especially while juggling a 9-5 and a couple of hobbies, and while I'm fully aware of the capitalistic scam of keeping us busy working instead of organizing, I'm yet still frustrated with it. Anyone feeling the same? I hope it'll get more impactful as my life gets more stable, and I have an overall optimistic feeling about this, but non the less the helplessness I feel right now is real :(

Love me some systemd timers. Much more fun than cron.
- Sane handling of environment variables with
EnvironmentFile=
- Out of the box logging. Especially useful is the ability to
journalctl -f
to watch long-running processes, which I'm not sure whether possible with cron - The ability to trigger the service manually rather than setting the timer to
* * * * *
, then forgetting it's supposed to run in a minute, get distracted, come back in 15 minutes
My only complaint is it's a bit verbose. I'd rather have it as an option inside the .service
file. The .timer
requires some boilerplate like [Unit].description
(it... uh... triggers a service. that's the description), and WantedBy=timers.target
. But these are small prices to pay

In an email statement on Monday, a spokesperson for Tinder said the company disputes the study.
"Based on Tinder’s data, the figures highlighted in this study are highly misleading and do not accurately represent our members," the spokesperson wrote. "Study participants were only given three options to describe themselves — ‘celibate’, ‘in a relationship’ or ‘widowed’ — with no option for ‘single.’ This likely resulted in a completely skewed depiction of who Tinder members are and what they seek."
Just don't write the article lol. Just put the draft in the trash and move on. I hate rating-based media
Y'all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances' `/instances` page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit. Lemmy's hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the [ARM situation](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3102) (and [its contemporary solution](https://github.com/ubergeek77/lemmy-docker-multiarch)), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon. Anyway, I feel like the extra `@...` on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)
