Fuck man, as a father this hits hard. At first I thought how is he so chill, maybe this happens all the time. Then when the kid appears and is so distraught.. shit

Is polyphasic sleep dank or dangerous? in c/askscience@lemmy.world
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Purely anecdotal but I accidentally fell into this during university when studying for final exams. 3 hours sleep at night, 3 hours in early afternoon. Was great and never felt better so tried to keep it after exams but it was just impossible. Once I got back to real life, it was impossible to keep such a rigid and inflexible system. I didn't do it long enough to see any long term effects but just found it impossible to keep anyway so naturally reverted back to 7-8 hours overnight

Just bought a Fairphone 5 and installed /e/os myself through their adb script (they only had normal android ones in stock). So far, it works flawlessly and even managed to install my bank app. I haven't tried wallet as don't tend to use it. Everything else works and not missing the Samsung s22 ultra I moved from.

Britain issues travel warning for US in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My manager and a team mate had to go to the US for work earlier this week. They're both British citizens but Indian heritage so was genuinely worried for them. Work made sure their papers were in order and they had local contacts just in case. It was "no more difficult than usual" (it's always been hard for brown people coming in with "random" security checks). There is no way I would be going though, would flat out refuse.

One made it home but funnily enough the other is stuck in Vancouver on the connection as theres some fire in Heathrow. At least he's out of the USA!

Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. in c/memes@lemmy.ml

This, the limit on how much it could be, and the ban on charging any additional fees, absolute game changers! The changing them not being able to tax deduct mortgage payments has also changed behaviour. I mean, landlords are still a huge drain on society and rents are mental but these steps help

[Meta] Why this community when there is already !buyeuropean@feddit.uk ? in c/buyfromeu@feddit.org
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I noticed the same and am all for combining. I struggle with the multiple same posts across similar communities.

We can have multiple European sources and people can choose their likes themselves. Want to avoid UK because of 5 eyes, go for it. Not sure about this Sweden law around E2EE, take it into account.

I voted remain in Brexit and despite not being in the EU I see myself as European. Some of us in the UK are acting just the same way to consider our relationship with the US, and in recent years, I have moved to European suppliers (e.g. mailbox.org).

Custom Attributes in Authentik OIDC in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of the group limit attribute in nextcloud. You could try looking at the 'Custom profile scope' section of https://docs.goauthentik.io/integrations/services/nextcloud/ to see if it helps to work out what to do

US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources. in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Exactly. I'm already thinking about pulling my pension pot out of any US investments. It's a tiny amount but maybe we can start a movement to keep pension investments in countries and systems you believe in, not whatever mix are typically used

Hey UK and France... Canada here. Just wondering... You still have our backs eh? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] brewery@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

If we rolled back a decade, Putin wasn't around and something happened like idk, China invaded western Russia, I can imagine us helping Russia.

I should change it to "your population is mostly white so yes you can count on us". I say this as an English born non-white person who has seen the differences in public reactions to Ukraine and other conflicts (Syria, various African ones, Gaza etc). Can't say for certain it's because of this reason but certainly feels like it!

[–] brewery@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

That's a very good point and can't believe I didn't think of that! Surely the British army would have to protect "his majesty's realm" or some bollocks like that.

I just read that Canada hosts Britain's largest overseas base, although it seems to be for training purposes.

From the UK and personally, 100% yes but not sure I feel the rest of the population would agree. I mean, a lot of us turned our backs on the EU and there's a lot of cross over with US right wing nutters.

However, I would believe that when push comes to shove, we would be generally willing to defend Canada, Australia and NZ over anyone else, and then European countries at the next level. The reaction in support for Ukraine was pretty universal here and there are still lots of donations and support that is not shared with any African, Asian or Central/South American countries having similar problems.

Basically, you're white so yes you can count on us!

F these, even in urban England (lemmy.world)
 

In London, England, where the roads are narrow, the parking spaces are limited and we have plenty of availability of vans that can actually fit things in, we still get these a*holes with their unnecessary large pick up trucks made for a road system completely different to ours...

These spaces are wider than usual and long enough to fit them but they still have to park like w*nkers blocking the only footpath around!

I mean, I have a 5 door hatchback and know that my car overhangs the back wheels, as does any primary school kid drawing a car...

Upgrading to 3G broadband (lemmy.world)
 

I've really landed on my feet here.

Background

Our road recently got upgraded to full fibre so I switched my ADSL supplier from 300MB to 1G (is it still ADSL?!?). I also have cable broadband at 600MB so last year bought an omada router with dual wan, then bought two EAPs and been quite happy with the speeds. My equipment includes a desktop PC as home server, and a mini PC with pihole and home assistant.

Cable broadband (virgin media) just came up to renewal so they offered me 1G at same price (£35 a month) to compete with the new speeds on my street.

The new 1G ADSL provider had incorrect info on their website so ended up on CGNAT instead of Dynamic IP. It said they have dynamic IP for 1G and 3G lines, so part of the reason I went for 1G was this, which I made clear to them. They took a while to try and fix it and were pretty poor so just for offered a 3G upgrade for £39pm and 6 months free !!!

They're coming on Monday to replace the modem \router for a 3G one. I can keep the old router (brand new 1G wifi 6 router) as a mesh.

Advice needed

Please help me figure out what I need to change to make the most of it?! I purposefully didn't go beyond 1G as was not expecting this much speed for many, many years!

If anybody knows good resources on upgrading speeds past 1G please let me know.

For my home network, do I just sell everything I have and start again? Do I just use their modem and WiFi?

Do I need to check all my wires and potentially upgrade them? How do you check the speeds if they don't have them printed?

On my home server, do I need to upgrade the network card to get the most out of it? Will it be fine if the connection to the pihole DNS is still 1G if it's only requesting addresses?

I am sorry for anyone on lower speeds seeing this with envy. I do appreciate how lucky I am.

TLDR: broadband provider messed up so got ridiculously cheap upgrade to 3G ADSL and also upgraded to 1G Cable (dual wan 4G). How do I make the most of this given my equipment is all 1G?!?

Appreciation / shock at workplace IT systems (lemmy.world)
 

After self hosting several services for a few users, with SSO, backups, hardware issues etc, I really appreciate how good the IT was in my old company. Everything was connected, smooth, slick and you could tell it was secure. I had very few issues and when I did, they were quickly solved. Doing this all at scale for thousands of employees spread across the world, it is a wonderful sight to see.

Now at my current company, it's at the opposite end of the scale where I almost believe that I could do a better job by myself! They've trying to do everything you would expect but somehow doing it wrong. They are so heavy on security I have a Citrix environment that takes me 3 logins to get to, fails constantly and means I can't work without internet (like on a long train journey for work purposes recently), and on the other hand they've only just turned off admin rights for users so we could've installed anything we wanted!!! All our attachments (incoming and outgoing) are saved to a secure website (like OneDrive) and replaced with a link. It doesn't save the file names on the email so it's really tricky to find old emails if it's a document you're looking for. I could go on but just venting at this point as it's so frustrating!!!

Thank you to the good IT people out there. Your roles are so important but not appreciated enough!

Recommendation for children's photos sharing (lemmy.world)
 

I had a child and both of our parents were in another country so wanted to keep them updated with photos and videos but refused to use social media. I have been using Back Then which, to be fair, has worked pretty well. I pay a subscription and can give access to anybody I want through their email. They then have to download an app and sign in to see. It updates them if there's new photos and shows them in a nice chronological order by age. There are other features (likes and comments) but tbh, no-one really uses them and I don't care about that. For me, it's just the privacy and access control I'm after

Now I have built my home server and got to the point where it's reliable (enough), plus I'm happy with my security/SSO setup, does anybody recommend a self hosted photo sharing tool?
