It's the other way around. Right wing politics and especially fascism are simply an extension of whining and stomping feet. Once you notice the links between the two they are impossible to unsee.

[Local recommendations wanted] Sunday brunch venue in Brussels (lemmy.world)

I was very successful asking these on Reddit, so let’s see if Lemmy is better even in this regard.

I am taking part in an unconference in Brussels, and I would like to organize a brunch, possibly with waffles involved, the day after on Sunday 15/11.

The venue should be as central as possible and with the possibility to book (online and for free, preferably) a table for 6 to 10 people.

Gaufre liégeois is preferred (hoping not to be stoned for blasphemy).

[SOLVED] Is this problem on Replaced is due to Mint or Heroic or Proton? (lemmy.world)

I am playing Replaced and, despite the cool style and environment design, my experience is made horrible

Whenever a WASD key is pressed there is a chance that the input may get "sticky" and continues to send the character in the same direction indefinitely, making stealth sequences impossible and resolving only by giving ASDASD as input.

Here is the likely excerpt from the logs:

../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,359: Tried to fabricate a wrong key event. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated. ../../../../modules/im/ximcp/imDefLkup.c,355: The key event is already fabricated.

I am running it in Heroic Launcher and the problem persists using GE-Proton-latest or Proton Experimental. Also, changing to the Steam Runtime or deactivating Gamemode does not help.

The contents of a jar of Nutella by biofaust in c/mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world
[-] biofaust@lemmy.world 55 points 6 months ago

I am Italian and, living in Scandinavia, apart from being mostly disgusted by the other chocolate spreads, I am always very surprised to see the office managers, offering breakfasts on select days, defaulting to a teaspoon in the Nutella jar.

I grew up with a taboo for that and the only way I would ever have Nutella is by scraping some with a knife-side and spreading it thinly on a slice of bread.

It's funny to see people do such things and then coming with the question: "you Italians have pasta, pizza and Nutella and you still manage to be so thin. How?!"

Check your portions.

Home wifi working but wifi networks interface stuck in searching (lemmy.world)
submitted 7 months ago by biofaust@lemmy.world to c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
2 comments fedilink

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/44456705

I am in the very strange situation, since I installed Ubuntu, in which my laptop is connecting to the wifi, but if I open the wifi settings page it stays on "searching for networks" forever. Since I am planning to use this laptop at a conference where I would need a connection, I would like to solve this somehow.

I have used the "wireless-info" tool and the pastebin can be found here .

Only things I noticed are the Intel AX201 controller that in other forums is said to not work at all (not my case), and the fact that my home network connection is defined by a networkd yaml, as opposed to the others (my parent's house) that are defined by a NetworkManager yaml.

I am a beginner so these are all just guesses from me.

Is there a fix or even a separate software I can use to manage my connections, like adding a new one without having to write myself a new yaml file?

The spread of fast-follower regulations modeled after the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the United Kingdom’s Digital Markets, Competition, and Consumers Act (DMCC) reinforces the “Brussels Effect,” which ITIF has argued constitutes a form of digital imperialism that hinders innovation in the Global South.

Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind Nginx Proxy Manager? (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago by biofaust@lemmy.world to c/selfhosting@slrpnk.net
3 comments fedilink

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/42574918

I am getting started with self hosting and one of the things I would love to host is a Signal TLS proxy using Docker.

Problem is that I have ports 80 and 443 taken by Nginx Proxy Manager (also in a Docker container), through which I forward to different services depending on the subdomain.

I tried modifying the docker-compose.yml file to use ports 9443 and 980 and have it working using a certificate created on NPM, but to no avail.

Being a beginner, it can well be that I don't understand reverse proxies well enough, but that's why, with your help I would love to take this opportunity to learn more.

Thanks in advance.

Greenland visit cancelled after locals refuse to welcome Usha Vance by biofaust in c/world@lemmy.world

I will repeat it: Greenlanders are very based.

If you are ever in Denmark, spend an hour to visit the Greenland museum, a huge raised middle finger of an exposition reminding everyone of Danish colonialism, placed right in the middle of Copenhagen.

They are not well treated by the Danes either, who only recently recognized them the right for translators in the Danish parliament.

Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome by biofaust in c/technology@lemmy.world

I must say that, as a European using a Firefox fork for my daily browsing while waiting for Ladybird, I don't see that outcome as completely negative: Google, somehow, in America has kept a completely unjustified good vibes feeling surrounding itself, while Thiel is much more evil in the public eye.

If Chrome is associated with him in anyway it can become a more lucid image of itself.
