Linux is awesome at home, but aren't y'all forced to use Windows at work? - Lemmy.World
I’m liking the recent posts about switching to Linux. Some of my home machines
run Linux, and I ran it on my main laptop for years (currently on Win10,
preparing to return to Linux again). That’s all fine and dandy but at work I am
forced to use Windows, Office, Teams, and all that. Not just because of corpo
policies but also because of the apps we need to use. Even if it weren’t for
those applications, or those policies, or if Wine was a serious option, I would
still need to work with hundreds of other people in a Windows world,
live-sharing Excel and so on. I’m guessing that most people here just accept it.
We use what we want at home, and use what the bossman wants at work. Or we’re
lucky to work in a shop that allows Linux. Right?

Vibe coding, meh? Documentation, hell yeah! - Lemmy.World
I thought I’d try an experiment with letting Claude Code work on a fresh
project. I’m not diving right into coding - I’m using Claude Code to write the
specs first. I’m blown away. It’s like having a short-range time machine. I got
so many pages of user stories and tech requirements and all that stuff. Done in
a few hours over two evenings. Yes I hit the limits way before the 5-hour
window, but on the plus side I went to bed instead of sitting up half the night,
so there’s that. What would have taken me days of typing, Claude just magicked
into existence with a snap of its virtual fingers. I review every line of it and
still save oodles of time, plus I get to ping-pong about my ideas and refine
them along the way. Using Claude Code instead of just browser-Claude was the
real boon. Working with markdown.md [http://markdown.md] files is fast as hell.
Running it on my Windows desktop using WSL to get a new one Linux session that
maps to my home folder, and simultaneously using Obsidian in Windows to read and
edit the output. That sounds a bit roundabout but it’s very efficient, and as a
side effect I am beginning to grok Obsidian and loving it. A powerful combo,
plus it syncs with my phone. Add git to the mix as a finishing touch. Claude can
execute git commands, it can spin up a Docker instance to run the code it will
eventually write, and I get to see it my browser, all on localhost. I won’t be
surprised if the prototype it produces is shit. But I might be pleasantly
surprised that maybe it isn’t. (I wrote this text myself.)
Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP? - Lemmy.World
Hi all - please tell me if I’m doing this wrong: My 12yo spends all day on
YouTube shorts. I want to block it, but can only block YouTube entirely.
Blocking for everyone would upset my 15yo, so I need per-client domain
filtering. That was easy on Pi-hole. But my Raspberry died and I heard praise
for Adguard Home so now I run that as a Docker container. 1. I can’t figure out
how to block YouTube for only some devices. Is that not possible with Adguard?
Claude gives me complicated nonsense; you can easily do better. I want to ditch
Adguard and go back to Pihole. The caveat is that I must let Pihole run the DHCP
server, in order to get correct per-client blocking. That’s a pity, as I have a
neat UniFi network set up. 2. Can I get Pihole’s per-client blocking without
Pihole as DHCP? I don’t mind setting it all up in Pihole again because I know it
works (it’s how I had it before the Raspberry died). But I would love to know if
I am going about this the wrong way? Thank you!
Recommend EU webhosting provider to replace DreamHost?

Recommend EU webhosting provider to replace DreamHost? - Lemmy.World
I am selfhosting a lot of stuff, but some things are on good old DreamHost
instead, for reasons of reliability and such. I’m sure many of you are in a
similar position. I’ve been extremely happy with DreamHost since ~28 years but
various reasons prompt me to look for EU options. I am not looking for just
plain stupid webhosting (not VPS) but the options I see are so limited: limited
subdomains, limited mailboxes, limited databases, limited everything. DH has
always offered “unlimited everything” for a few dollars per month, that’s an
insanely good offering. Still, if you could recommend a good EU webhosting
provider, what would you say?

I’m looking for Arduino discussions and there’s plenty on Reddit but almost dead

How do you build complex shapes? - Lemmy.World
I’ve made a large number of custom prints, and all of them were created using
TinkerCad. It’s an amazing toolkit, stupid easy to use but versatile. That is …
until something needs a tiny adjustment somewhere. That’s when I feel it
would’ve been neat to use parametric CAD instead. I have spent many hours
following Youtube tutorials for Onshape, Fusion, and FreeCAD. Tutorial shapes
like a LEGO brick are fairly easy, although I admit that this kind of modeling
is a sharp departure from the kid-friendly TinkerCad. My problem is that I don’t
want to make simple coasters or keychains, but complex shapes like this one.
It’s a holder/mount for two different kinds of walkie-talkies that I use, and
the blue part slides into a tray in my car’s dash where it sits nice and snug.
Question: How the hell do I even get started modeling something like this??
There’s not a single straight cuboid here. Everything is slightly wedge-shaped.
The way I do this in TinkerCad is that I build the hollow first: I made a 3d
model of the walkie, a little oversized, set it be hollow, and drop it into the
shape - that’s the red or orange shells you see.

There’s so much spam, and people diligently downvote. But the posts are still
shown, with -53 votes or something. When a post is clearly unwanted, could it be

How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high?

How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high? - Lemmy.World
I run an old desktop mainboard as my homelab server. It runs Ubuntu smoothly at
loads between 0.7 and 3 (whatever unit that is). Problem:
Occasionally, the CPU load skyrockets above 400 (yes really), making the machine
totally unresponsive. The only solution is the reset button. Solution:
- I haven’t found what the cause might be, but I think that a reboot every few
days would prevent it from ever happening. That could be done easily with a
crontab line. - alternatively, I would like to have some dead-simple script
running in the background that simply looks at the CPU load and executes a
reboot when the load climbs over a given threshold. –> How could such a
cpu-load-triggered reboot be implemented?
Rear tie rods for Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero?

Rear tie rods for Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero? - Lemmy.World
Hi all! My very old Mitsubishi Pajero III (V60 from 2000) got a 2" lift kit and
now the rear wheels have too much toe-out. The stock tie rods won’t adjust far
enough and there are no other original “sizes.” So I need some aftermarket tie
rods for the rear axle. My own research tells me I need a shorter (longer?)
version of the original part number MR508134 (Imgur
[https://i.imgur.com/KS1pRLr.png]). Two questions: - Am I correct that the rear
toe angle is adjusted via this part? - Given that the stock MR508134 is no
sufficiently adjustable, what sort of aftermarket part should I be looking for?
I’m in Europe. (For the sake of completeness: the front tie rods have adequate
adjustment range.)
