US empire is dying, but it’s not even close to instability that plagued rome for centuries. Part of roman empire ended due to many factors (including climate change) but they were pretty powerless by the end, where rich nations now aren’t and have resources to enforce their position. I’m not saying that they won’t feel the pressure and their living standards won’t suffer at least temporarily. Everything else is reversible or can be mitigated.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's your self-hosting success of the week?English
8·13 days agoI had enough time to install sort of pihole.
We are going with both legs into ww3 and there is a chance that it will take us (as in humanity) into a mess for a decade or two, but rich nations wouldn’t desintegrate nor would they collapse due to climate change.
It depends on what kind of a martian colony we are going to get (probably we won’t get any) if it’s a vanity project of crazy billionaire it’s one thing, another thing if there is an actual need for such a colony.
Self-sufficient one? Probably not, but why wouldn’t they survive for long?

Is there any tutorial/article on those security pitfalls and permission system? I just build my packages when they aren’t available wanted to try flatpak for some time.

cats@lemmy.world•Why you're probably stroking your cat completely wrong (and how to do it right)English
10·1 month agoHow would I get by without expert opinion on correct way to pet a cat, especially when they state that cat actually doesn’t like petting and just likes to suffer apparently.

memes@lemmy.world•Day 1 of posting a random meme from my collectionEnglish
25·1 month agoMost of the times they won’t hop right back up, I think, but these educational videos about animals target children so it won’t be such a good idea to show fucked up goats or other animals.
Simple, easy to understand and relatable.
Weirdest? Please, take a look at any religious holiday. Let’s take Easter, we celebrate resurrection of man-god who allowed himself to be killed so he could save us, and immediately after resurrection he transformed into god-god and moved to the sky. So anyway we make dyed eggs to celebrate it.

And it’s not being developed by tankies.

Linux@lemmy.world•Calibre 9.0 E-Book Manager Released With New Bookshelf ViewEnglish
1·2 months agoThanks
A lot of parts are more integrated with each other on fedora and rhel (compared to debian and ubuntu). IIRC fedora now defaults for offline updates. It comes with SELinux enabled by default.

8·2 months agoIs there any alternative to calibre that is an offline program? I’ve tried calibre and it’s very opinionated and big, I’m looking for something to just sort my books.
There can’t be single obvious green path for a lot of complex things and most of the things that we do on computers actually are complex like that. I would think that user friendliness is more of an indicator of a sane default behaviour or something that people already are taught to expect. Balancing that is even harder i think.
Now is like 10 years if not more, no?
I think Request Tracker is the closest thing to Jira, whether it’s good or bad is an open question (for me).
Looks like a great feature.
They actually don’t but it is the way programs are installed on gentoo by default.



Obviously arch can be rebuilt pretty easily, gentoo does almost nothing that arch can’t, and rebuilding itself osn’t one of those things. Look up ABS.
