    wondered why your pet might not like particular foods?

    No. It's the same reason that you don't like particular perfectly good foods. They're attuned to different factors, but it's the same process to appeal to them.

    i worked at an animal hospital for a few years in my 20s (late 90s). I was also broke af punk kid living in a filthy punk rock house, barely able to afford my part of rent. So i'd bring home the pet food sometimes. It wasn't really inventoried, and it's nutrition. Do not recommend though, its a great way to get a bacterial gut infection since pet food regulations are very minimal.

    it ranges. some cat food is indistinguishable from canned tuna. the science diet I/D canine prescription tastes exactly like canned corned beef hash. the cheap stuff (kibbles&bits, fancy feast, etc) tastes exactly like you'd expect: bone meal, corn starch, and ash slag. cause thats the filler trash the cheap stuff is made of.

    generally though, most kibble just tastes like if you soaked grape nuts cereal in beef broth, and most wet food tastes about the same as canned horse. which is unpleasant.

    The answer to your overarching question is not "common maintenance procedures", but "change management processes"

    When things change, things can break. Immutable OSes and declarative configuration notwithstanding.

    OS and Configuration drift only actually matter if you've got a documented baseline. That's what your declaratives can solve. However they don't help when you're tinkering in a home server and drifting your declaratives.

    I’m pretty certain every service I want to run has a docker image already, so does it matter?

    This right here is the attitude that's going to undermine everything you're asking. There's nothing about containers that is inherently "safer" than running native OS packages or even building your own. Containerization is about scalability and repeatability, not availability or reliability. It's still up to you to monitor changelogs and determine exactly what is going to break when you pull the latest docker image. That's no different than a native package.

    Depends on the specific Zigbee switch, but generally yes.

    The magic is in the fact that you can decouple the relay, and use the switch as a sensor that triggers things that may or may not be related to the physical switch position.

    The other reason I like it better than a typical "smart switch" is that I can use the shellys with whatever switch I want, so I can have it match my dumb switches and use different colors.

    shelly relays will do exactly what you want. just wire them as disconnected switches. i do this to simulate 3-way switches, but it'll work just as well to swap circuit behavior.

    you can use a homeassistant action if you’re already using HA, or you can have the shellys call each others web api when it senses the switch.

    Just cause you've never seen them doesn't make it not true.

    Try using quadlet and a .container file on current Debian stable. It doesn't work. Architecture changed, quadlet is now recommended.

    Try setting device permissions in the container after updating to Debian testing. Also doesn't work the same way. Architecture changed.

    It isn't. It's architecture changes pretty significantly with each version, which is annoying when you need it to be stable. It's also dominated by Redhat, which is a legit concern since they'll likely start paywalling capabilities eventually.

    Every complaint here is PEBKAC.

    It's a legit argument that Docker has a stable architecture while podman is still evolving, but that's how software do. I haven't seen anything that isn't backward compatible, or very strongly deprecated with notice.

    Complaining about selinux in 2024? Setenforce 0, audit2allow, and get on with it.

    Docker doing that while selinux is enforcing is an actual bad thing that you don't want.

    Flatpak is itself a file manager.

    That duplicate of your folder in /run is due to filesystem links (or more likely a fuse mount, I've never actually looked into how flatpak works). But either way, they aren't copies of the data.

    Free tier is super limited and super easy to accidentally break out of. I had a single file in S3, but because my logging settings were wrong, I broke the free tier with junk logs.

    The t2 micro ec2 instances are fine, but you need to be very careful about their storage and network egress.

    Best use I've had for AWS that has managed to stay within the free limits has been Lambda. Managed to convert a couple self hosted discord bots to a few Lambda functions, works great. Plugging it into CloudFormation and tying up CI/CD with CodePipeline and the like were overkill but good learning exp.

    I don't think there's any ECS free tier, but you can fit a private container repository in the free S3 limits as well.

    You're going to want to look up things like symlinks, hard links, fuse filesystems, and bind mounts among other concepts. Your "whole directory" and other duplicates are artifacts of how the filesystem and process management works, and simply running fsearch or find over them is going to be confusing if you don't know what you're looking at.

    One Unix concept that carries over to Linux is that everything is a file. Your shared memory space, process data, device driver interfaces, etc, all of it is accessible somewhere in the same virtual filesystem tree as the actual files.

    Because of this, there's very little reason to have the whole filesystem indexed from root. If you're worried about space usage, you want to work with packages through the package manager. If you're worried about system integrity, you'll want package validators.

    The above is accurate, and can be considered accurate for any directory below or at well.

    Per /run, it's also mounted in memory, so trying to "declutter" it won't get you anywhere and things will return on reboot.

    The focus on sales and deals and shit has been an attempt to compete with first Walmart and target, and then Amazon.

    Used to be that department stores were where you went when you needed stuff. At one point, it was just where you went shopping for your general life. They tended to lower prices than boutiques through volume and you'd go to more specific, more expensive stores for more specific things.

    Today, yeah. Why bother? You actually can find better clothes at Macy's and Penny's than Walmart, but you have to dig, and realize that the real Levi 501s are going to be $30 more than the modern Levi stretch fit trash. (And $30 less than buying them at the Levi store.)

    A VPN is (in a generic, high level sense) a proxy. It's just proxying layer2 frames, vs. layer 4 protocols.

    So the answer depends entirely on the traffic and the architecture you've built to support it.

    Or how about, rather than your narrow, specific 3 definitions, a fourth thing, such as how it's phrased in the wiki:

    Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It is a form of sexism that can keep women at a lower social status than men.

    The emphasis there is why you're being called names on the internet. If you're advocating systems or societal norms of gender oppression, you're being misogynist. This remains true even if you're not doing it intentionally.

    The world we live in is deeply patriarchal, so it can be hard to see these problems, because the views and opinions you've got are just "normal". Something being the norm doesn't mean it isn't oppressive, and having an opinion doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the impacts of that opinion.

    Generally, if someone calls you a misogynist, and you go "bUt I rEsPeCt wOmEn", you might want to take a little time to figure out where it's coming from. It can certainly be real without fitting in your 3 tidy little self-serving definitions.

    I'll also point out that you can replace nearly every instance of misogyny in this thread with racism, and replace women with black, and it would be the same discussion. Or you could swap misogyny/women with misandry/men. Oppression is oppression, no matter who holds the power.

    Seriously pal, read up on what happened in the US when we tried prohibition. Read up on prison economics. Alcohol is severely restricted in prisons all over he world, and most prisoners have no problems getting alcohol. The only thing that happened when we tried it nationally was we created massive crime rings, and the more of those that shut down, the more popped up.

    How much can I make? I can get 55 gallon drums on Amazon. So 55 gallons, at least. I can fit probably 15 of those in my basement. So that's 725 gallons at one time. Read up on bathtub gin. I've got two bathtubs. They're probably around 20 gallons each.

    If I was an addict? You literally cannot limit alcohol from people who want it, because it's very easy to produce in very large quantities with very simple equipment. See also the wAr oN dRuGs and how well that limited access to pretty much every narcotic they attempted to control.

    e: > If you are a addict you cannot go to the bar for drink.

    Deep breathing vs. buoyancy question

    Pretty new diver here, about 40 dives, and looking for advice. Just finished up a week of dives in Grenada, and made a point of paying attention to air consumption. Based on Internet advice, I focused on breathing deeply and exhaling completely, counting 4 seconds in, 6 seconds out. Doing this, my computer reported average SAC has dropped from about 0.8 to 0.5, and I'm not the one calling dives for gas anymore. This seems like a great improvement. However, my buoyancy goes to shit when I'm doing this. Breathing more "normally", I can maintain a neutral depth with good trim. But with this more efficient breath control, I go up and down several feet with every breath. This actually makes it pretty easy to control when I ascend and descend, but obviously isn't great for most of the dive. If I try to breathe normally-but-slow, I feel like I'm hyperventilating. So what's the trick here? How do you both breathe efficiently *and* control your buoyancy? I think I'm pretty well weighted, since I have no problem maintaining my safety stop with the shallower breaths.
