Community rally for Half Price Books labor union - midwest.social

It’s been a while, just came back to let yall know if you’re looking for something to do instead of doomscrolling this weekend, our comrades at the Half Price Books union stores are looking for a show of support from the community at a rally this saturday (2/22) at noon at the Westport store. They’ve been fighting for a contract for a year, facing union busting campaigns from HBP corporate the whole time. if you like books and labor you should come! Word is there will be hot drinks. Also it sounds like they don’t really expect to go til 3, so be early!

I immediately understand the vibe and plight this guy was trying to illustrate
I can’t drink because of a medical condition, so this is something I think about pretty often. There aren’t many options that I’m aware of. Certain cafes/restaurants might stay open fairly late, which can be fun, but I eat vegan and those places don’t tend to cater to that kind of diet.

help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up - midwest.social

I’ve had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I’ve had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I’m now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I’ve used commands sudo apt clean and sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500 to temporarily clear up some space, but it doesn’t take long to fill back up, and gets less effective with time, til I have no choice but to expand the partition again. Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal to need 20GB+ for var? Is there a way to safely reclaim space I don’t know about?

Fair enough. Seems to be working, so thanks again!
Giving this a try, thanks. I notice in the comments someone said something about Cloudflare’s ToS being limited to HTML and makes it sound like serving video through the tunnel could mean getting charged. I’m hosting movies on this Jellyfin server, so I guess I should be concerned?

Port forwarding issue after network upgrade

Port forwarding issue after network upgrade - midwest.social

Tl;Dr: port forwarding isn’t working after a network hardware upgrade, even after enabling it and rebooting all equipment, and without a firewall enabled. I’ve been running a public-facing Jellyfin server on Ubuntu 22.04 for the past few months without too much trouble. Today I upgraded my networking equipment to a Google Fiber Network Box. I ended up having to set a new static IP address for my server device. I also had to switch from using the Google Home app to using the Google Fiber app or website to configure my network. Everything’s working now except for port forwarding. The network settings give me the ability to forward ports, but port checkers keep telling me the ports I’ve opened are not open. I’ve tried rebooting the server, router, and modem (and closing and reopening the ports) multiple times to no avail. UFW is installed on the server but it’s inactive, and I don’t have any other firewalls. I don’t know what else could be blocking the ports. I’m still sort of a newbie to self hosting, so maybe there’s something I’m overlooking. But I’ve done several web searches and couldn’t find any solutions I haven’t already tried. I did notice though that it seems every device on the network has the same public IP address. I don’t know for certain that wasn’t the case with my old setup, but it did seem strange. Again I’m not an expert on this stuff, so maybe it’s nothing. I couldn’t find anything in network settings that would let me change that either.

I’ve never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don’t have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they’re working on. Not that any of it’s bad, but it feels like they’re in the “can’t just make a good product” camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I’m just a person, not an analyst.
KDE connect is a must-have on all my devices. I mainly use it for quick file transfers but other plugins occasionally.
I don’t love old memes. They bore me. I see and make plenty of new stuff that makes me laugh, including laughing at consumer culuture. But most of thosr memes are not on Lemmy or Reddit.
