Maybe someone has more history knowledge than Wikipedia in this case: Were the Young Pioneers inspired by the Scouts movement, which was startet 1908 by Baden Powell? Or more by nationalist youth groups that followed them (like the Hitler Youth in germany took the traditions of scouts and the wandervogel groups and contorted them into violent nationalism)? Is there any connection?

Woher kommt das Bild? Hat jemand den Kontext dazu?

Otherwise, you need to be some kind of freaking retro-engineering expert.

Nah, often software is stupidly easy to breach. Often its an openly accessable database (like recently with the Tea app), or that you can pull other data from the webapp just by incrementing or decrementing the ID in your webrequest (that commonly happened with quite a number of digital contact tracing platforms used during Covid).

Very often the closed source just obscures the screaming security issues.

And yeah, there are not enough people to thorouhly audit all the open source code. But there are more people doing that, than you think. And another thing to mind is, that reporting a security problem with a software/service can get you in serious legal trouble depending on your jurisdicting - justified or not. Corporations won't hesitate to slap suit you out of existance, if they can hide the problems that way. With open source software you typically don't have any problems like this, since collaboration and transparency is more baked in into it.

Thats why other countries are doing it that way. The problem is, that the US system makes it very difficult to get an ID for its long list of undesireables. And with that I mean everyone, who is not white, heteronormative, cis and not-poor. If the US fixes these problems and issues IDs for every of its citizens, then requiring the ID for voting is a good idea. Unfortunately that is a big big If, carrying a lot of weight.

Relevant xkcd: Average familiarity

You severly overestimate the average persons tech literacy even when you try to correct for it. Booting from USB is already a really advanced topic.

Though creating a lemmy account is not that complex. Typically all you have to do is fill out a form on the websiten instructions included. The problem there is not the tech literacyn but the willingness of the people to even interact with systems they don't know, like finding a home instance or understanding the concept of the fediverse. Most people could create a lemmy account, though also most people wouldn't.

No, I think that you have that right for every contract, that you enter (buying contract or otherwise). Though there are exceptions (for example digital goods like ebooks). Ypu can very much bring back a retail good that you bought in a store for 14 days after the purchase. Though I think they can refuse, if you damaged the product in that time.

For example I returned an item I bought in the tool store, because I realized I bought the wrong one.

Ahh, for one moment I was excited seeing an open source washing machine project. Then I opened the post and now I'm sad...

In the movies she actually was, though I think only because of Veritaserum, which makes it really not her fault (besides not having the suspicion to give the drink to umbrigdes plants instead of drinking, like Harry in the books).

In that context the break between them gives a bad look on Harry. Like "My nearly girlfriend got druged and interrogated. Such a snitch for telling them about us!" And movie Harry didn't think about what that experience was like for Cho.

More like the other way round, as trans people aren't the perpetrators. Trans people are more like Harry in relation to the Dursleys. Being different without it being his "fault", trying to conform but it resulting in psychological and physical harm to him, not being able to conform as he is supposed to. Being shunned and punished for every "abnormality" (especially the public ones) one the grounds of what-would-the-neighbours-talk-about-this. Finding a more accepting place but being forced to return to the abusive household again and again.

Its abhorrent, how tonedeaf Rowling is towards the obvious parallels to her hate in her own work. Some live long enough to see themselves becoming the villian out of their own fault I guess

Ich habe seit langen den Eindruck, die SPD ist nur eine Fahne im Wind. Wird ihr von Koalitionspartnern oder der Opposition genug Wind rübergeblasen richtet sie sich danach aus. Extreme Peoplepleaser als Partei, niemals feste Standpunkte in eine konsistente Richtung. Wes Brot ich ess des Lied ich sing. Frustrierend

Schöne Aktion, da freut man sich doch. Und das nächste Mal sowas wie Schnellbeton nehmen, für das extra bisschen Spaß

 

Hi, maybe you can help me with some tech suggestions. At my local scouts troop I'm one of only a few guitar players. At camp fires I play the guitar and provide lead vocals, so that others can follow (which is important especially for songs, that are not well known). Because only a few can sit directly beside me and others might talk in parallel, I need to sing very loud, to give an orientation, which makes me hoarse way faster.

I would like to have something, that amplifies my voice, with decent quality (so no megaphone), a microphone fixed to my clothes or my head (as I need to play the guitar in parallel) and being portable (easy to carry, relatively small and powered via battery). I am able to spend like 200€ for it (300€ would be the hard upper limit). I can also build something myself, though I would need orientation on what to build exactly. I don't have experience with audio electronics, but with microcontrollers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Hi,

I need help with my first homelab hardware. Maybe you experts can help me with that. I looked at this tutorial about building your own Openshift one node cluster using an Intel NUC, though I’m unsure, if I really should buy one of these.

I have set a budget of 1000€ (I’m located in germany). The tutorial suggests the Intel NUC10i7FNK, which I can get for 450€ new here (would buy 64GB RAM and a 2TB M.2 SSD for that). And I would follow the tutorial in getting a dedicated router for my lab environment.

Can I get more for my money (also in terms of upgradability) with some other product? Or should I just get that suggested NUC? I don’t need it to be that small (can be a tower), but I don’t want real server hardware, since the lab will run in my home office.

Thanks in advance for your help. My brain hurts from comparing products, searching for their availability, etc.

EDIT:

I've now decided to buy the NUC10i7FNK. It seems to be a sensible choice and the tutorial says, that it has enough beef for my first goal of building my own Openshift cluster for experimenting.

Thanks to all of you! You helped me to get to a good decision in this wide field of home lab equipment.

 

Ich habe gerade einen Text wiedergefunden, den ich vor etlichen Jahren geschrieben habe, und dachte, ich könnte den mal teilen. Wurde damals durch meinen Vater inspiriert, der als Markscheider im Bergbau tätig und sehr davon begeistert war. Ich hoffe er gefällt euch.

Einst, vor langer Zeit anno domini XXXXVMCMIIIrömischeZahlenmachenmichverrückt3 da erfanden die Gebrüder Fred und Ingwer Net etwas, das eine große Ära des Wohlstandes auslösen sollte. Und sie erfanden es aus der Not und dem Wunsch heraus, immer wissen zu wollen, wo sich ihr heißgeliebtes zahmes Hausnashorn namens Inter befinde. Zu seinen Ehren nannten sie es das Inter-Net. Ja damals, in einstiger Zeit, als Internetanbieter noch ein ehrbarer Beruf war. Das Erz der wertvollen Bits und Bytes wurde noch per Hand von feinen und arbeitssamen Bergmännern aus den Untiefen der Erde geschürft, ja, das war noch Arbeit für richtige Männer. Oh wie heißt es doch in dem unendlich besungenem Bergmannslied: Glück auf, Glück auf! Der Byte-Mann kommt. Und da tragen sie das Smartphone vor dem Arsch bei der Nacht, ja da tragen sie das Smartphone vor dem Arsch bei der Nacht! Und posten es a--uch und postens auch. Und da hörte es noch nicht auf! Einmal ans Licht des Tages gebracht übernahmen die ehrenwerten Hüttenleute und ihre Arbeit war so anstrengend wie schweißtreibend. In der glühenden Hitze der Flamestorms schmolzen sie den nun glühenden Hass heraus, geboren aus den Teilen der Erde, die nicht für die Erschaffung eines reinen Inter-Netzes geeignet sind, die da wären: Trolle, Nazis, Salafisten und ähnliches Gesocks, dass sich des Nachts in den Bergwerksstollen in den dunkelsten rechten oder religiösen Ecken herumtreibt. Die reinen Bits und Bytes, nun gegossen in stahlharte Pakete, gelangten nun zu ihrer letzten Station, nur noch wenige Schritte von ihrer Vollendung entfernt. Männer, groß wie Kleiderschränke und muskelbepackt wie Eber, schlugen nun auf die Pakete ein, verbanden sie mit den Stoffen http und PHP zu einem harten und doch biegsamen Ganzen und zwangen es durch ihre pure Willenskraft in seine endgültige Form. Die meisten dieser Männer wurden Systemarbeiter genannt, aber nur die härtesten durften sich Administratoren nennen. Und so konnte damals noch ganze Fässer handgemachten Internetzes an die Menschen dieses Landes ausgeliefert werden.

Doch wo sind wir hingenommen? Heutige Anbieter, die die Verträge aus ihrem Arsch ziehen und sie dir als Gold verkaufen wollen, haben keinen Sinn mehr für die Ästhetik eines ehrenwerten, lohndumping- und überwachungsfreien Internetzes. In diesen Zeiten, in denen durch Massenproduktion in jeder Sekunde mehr Internet an jeden von uns geliefert wird, als früher an einem vollen Tag hergestellt werden konnte, haben wir das Gefühl für den Wert dieser Daten verloren. Wir werfen sie der Welt zu Füßen, stellen unser gesamtes Leben online, weil es bestimmt jemanden interessiert, was ich heute zu essen hatte und welche Konsistenz ich in meinem Stuhlgang festgestellt habe. (Interessanterweise entspricht das auch dem Inhalt der meisten Posts bei Gesichtsbuch und Sofort Bild Abkürzung: Scheiße) Wir kaufen beim Online-Händler, nur damit er uns analysieren kann. Warum gehen die Leute nicht gleich zum Proktologen, wenn sie wollen, dass man ihnen in den Arsch kriecht. Und auch ich bin so jemand. Auch meine Daten sind dort draußen und schippern den Amazonas hinab, weiter getragen vom Corporate Marketing und Big Data. Manchmal, wenn ich abends im Dunkeln ganz allein auf den Wellen des Internet surfe, dann wird mir wehmütig und ich vermisse meine lieben Daten. Sie sind nicht die besten, aber sie sind meine. Und dann gedenke ich ganz im Stillen den starken und ehrenwerten Männern des Internet-Bergbaus. Glück auf!

 

Hi,

I'm rather new to web development. For my local scouts troop I'm currently trying to build a webapp to show a big browsable timeline of the troops chronicles (We have many big folders of paper showing what the scouts did that year). I've already build the ground structure based on Django for the backend and vue for the frontend. And I can display the individual elements of the chronicles (Writings, articles, pictures; videos and audio for newer entries) in a list.

Now I want to create a component, that will display a horizontal timeline with the ability to move and zoom, showing elements depending on the zoom level with different level of detail. I want to make it easy to browse the timeline of over 70 years with entries per year (like 30 elements per year).

I already tried timeline-js, but it doesn't quite behave like I want it to be (zooming, different levels of detail,...). For me it seems, that it cannot really be customized enough to reach my goal (though I might be wrong about that).

Then I thought about building that timeline component myself, though I don't know where to start in building such a component (how to draw the timeline itself with its markings, how to draw the elements at the correct position,...)

Can you give me a hint/direction where I should look for a solution? Maybe you know a tutorial for a similar situation (creating your own complex UI components)?

Thanks in advance for your help! Currently I feel like I don't know enough to ask the correct question to a search engine for a solution.
