Auch weitere Getränke würden demnach mit einbezogen. Dazu zählen unter anderem pflanzliche Milchalternativen wie Hafer- oder Mandelmilch, Säfte und Biermischgetränke. Haferdrinks etwa könnten so künftig um 26 Cent pro Liter teurer werden. https://www1.wdr.de/wirtschaft/zuckersteuer-zero-gesund-100.html

Da wir in der dümmsten Zeitlinie leben, wird bestimmt der "Kompromiss" ausgehandelt, dass aus dieser Liste nur noch die Milchalternativen der Steuer unterliegen...

I think there are (at least) two things wrong with the argument:

  1. it assumes that there can be no source of absolute morality aside from religion, ignoring centuries if not millennia of moral philosophy/ethics (which at least tries to answer the question seriously).
  2. even if nonreligious sources of morality don't exist, the argument assumes that religion is a source of absolute morality. since conflicting religions exist, the religionness-property alone is not enough to validate religion as a source of absolute morality.

Thanks, I had a look at both but sadly they don't seem to support OPDS (or I'm too inpatient).

I found quire which does support opds and has a more modern interface but is vibe coded, not sure how much/what parts of it though.

Unrelated to the topic: what eBook reader with opds support are you using on your phone? So far I'm using koreader which works but is a bit clunky.

All my services run in podman containers managed by systemd (using quadlets). They usually point to the :latest tag and I've configured the units to pull on start when there is a new version in my repository. Since I'm using opensuse microos, my server (and thus all services) restart regularly.

For the units that are configured differently, I update the versions in their respective ansible playbooks and redeploy (though I guess I could optimize this a bit, I've only scratched the surface of ansible).

Ich finde diese Argumentation schwierig, weil sie zugrundelegt, dass es (nennenswert viele) Fälle gibt, in denen geschlechtsangleichende Eingriffe "aus Spaß" angestrebt werden.

Und der ursprüngliche Punkt ist ja unabhängig davon trotzdem valide: wesentlich mehr Menschen bereuen eine Knie-OP.

Just off the top of my head without having tested it: could it be that the initial feedback feels weaker because the contact between thumb and device is not as strong as when it rests on the screen?

I've finally pinned down my backup automaton:

  • All my services are in podman containers/pods managed by systemd.
  • All services are PartOf= a custom containers.target.
  • All data is stored on btrfs sub volumes
  • I created a systemd service that Conflicts=containers.target for creating read only snapshots of the relevant subvolumes.
  • That service Wants=borgmatic.service wich creates a borg backup of the snapshots on a removable drive. It also starts containers.target on success or failure since the containers are not required to be stopped anymore.
  • After borg backup is done, the repository gets rclone synced to an S3 compatible storage.
  • This happens daily, though I might put the sync to S3 on a different schedule, depending how much bandwidth subsequent syncs will consume.

What I'm not super happy about is the starting of containers.target via the systemd unit's OnSuccess= mechanism but I couldn't find an elegant way of stopping the target while the snapshots were being created and then restarting the target through the other dependency mechanisms.

I also realize it's a bit fragile, since subsequent backup steps are started even if previous steps fail. But in the worst case that should just lead to either no data being written (if the mount is missing) or backing up the same data twice (not a problem due to deduplication).

What I'm reading is that you want site-to-site connectivity. Wireguard + possibly dynamic DNS makes this pretty easy (assuming you can open ports and configure NAT at your sites). Or you could set up some other VPN solution like OpenVPN.

There's also tailscale (a paid service) for facilitating the wireguard setup, NAT traversal and relaying. headscale is a self hosted solution that aims to provide something similar (but more limited in scope).

on SteamOS on my gaming PC? · c/gaming · 4 pts · 326d

I have not used it myself but you should be able to run typical linux desktop software with steamos. That being said, I don't think there's gog galaxy for linux. You can use HeroicLauncher for GOG (and epic and prime gaming) instead.

I think this post provides a pretty good high level introduction: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/guides/view/how-to-install-extra-software-apps-and-games-on-steamos-and-steam-deck/

Alternatively, you could try a gaming focused Linux distribution like bazzite (based on fedora/ublue) which comes with a lot of gaming related stuff preinstalled or easy to install. The base system is mostly read only though and if you need the latest version of some software that's not on flathub, it can be a little limiting.

cachyos (based on arch) is a good alternative if you would like to be able to get your hands dirty tweaking your system or want more freedom wrt installing software.

In any case, you should check https://www.protondb.com/ if your games are supported.

Some games with certain anti cheat software can not be run (e.g. anything using vanguard, riot's anti cheat).

Do note that if you're in the EU (or can convince Windows/Microsoft that you are, I assume) you should get Windows 10 patches for another year without doing anything.
