I saw the picture and initially thought this was a Newcommunities post about a radio controlled car community ๐ญ not about an ACTUAL car omg
Chuck a fiberglass walk-in bed cover on the back of that thing and you have a 12-seater bus!
Funny thing is, a Toyota Hiace bus has 17 seats, spacious interior, and is way smaller compared to this oversized thing
Steroids? They've done a complete speedrun lol
Imagine if it was a more mundane issue, let's say the air line in a carriage has blown out and none of the doors work under their own power. Roll the train into the third party workshop to carry out the fix... a copyright notice flags up on the panel screen and now you've got a long 20 ton dead brick in your workshop
Imagine this happened with cars, that would be outrageous man
With the fake parts scandal for airplanes I wonder if this should be mandatory for parts that impact public safety for public transport like trains, buses, planes and so on.
Airplanes are vastly more complex though. Four engines, flying at extremely high altitudes at hundreds of km/h, fully airtight, powerful onboard generators, food prep areas, bathroom etc, extensive ethernet networking for the small IFE units and WiFi access points, list goes on...
Whereas a train doesn't have anything close to that, even the high speed ones with all the bells and whistles, so I think it would be a bit unreasonable to expect them to be held to the same standards as an airplane.
The only train I'd suggest an exception for would be a maglev though - OEM parts only there please, especially for traction and em equipment ๐ณ
Dont get me wrong, I want a full right to repair enshrined in law and using a system like this just to prevent it is clearly wrong, but if it could be adapted to allow for critical parts to be made under license by third parties and helped prevent fake parts then may be a small amount of good can come from this shitty practice.
Some independent validation of the manufacturing materials, their grade and assembly quality could work well here, since I'm not too sure if blindly trusting the parts manufacturers would be a great idea as long as they have profits in mind
The door. Now. ๐
In this asklemmy comm specifically?
There are two very popular asklemmy communities and they both are run differently ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Time flies man. I remember the hype for this game back in 2014 like it was yesterday
Free real estate ๐
I'm in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.
At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven't visited there in ages!
Salty snacks, fried or baked ๐. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins
Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now
Only thing I can think of would be to spin up a new instance, subscribe to the community, and then run queries against the db directly to identify bot or troll-like behavior in the community
Previously I would have said to just browse the community from Kbin because it used to expose a lot more user activity, such as upvoted/downvoted posts/users, but I believe that's no longer visible...
Hopefully as Lemmy continues to develop, more tools become available
Specialized Como 2022 ๐
Mine for a month as a part of a free ebike loan scheme im my city. The new scheme replaces our old dock-based ebike scheme which went bankrupt due to constant vandalism ๐ญ
Loving the loaner bike so far, handling is pretty similar to my personal bike with the swept handlebar and rear pannier. The assist boosts me up hills with ease, and makes heavy shopping feel like nothing!
Wish I could own one but it's out of my price range at the moment.
Looks like an actual road with drainage, raised sidewalk et al, but it's very narrow.
Carried a minimal setup with me to get some stuff done while making the most of the weather. Wanted a bit of a break from being indoors during the daytime, since it's not mandatory for me to go in.
Internet access was really patchy at first, until dropping the mobile data from 4G down to HSPA which was much more stable. The heat was quite intense too, used the folding chair's bag to shield the laptop ๐
10/10 would recommend

A couple years ago, no tools ๐ . I was commuting between home and campus just a mile away, so if something went wrong I'd just lock the bike and come for it later.
Nowadays, just a few to do an inner tube & chain replacement, and some other small bits that might come in handy.
- 2 spanners (one adjustable)
- Backup lights & head torch
- Tyre levers & adhesive puncture patches
- Mini track-style pump
- Screwdriver for the chain enclosure
- Pliers for the rollerbrakes and internal hub gear cables
Picture
I've found the head torch to be surprisingly helpful... Had a puncture in the dark once, and without that I would have been there a while lol

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.
There's a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks
I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.
What I'd like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I'm not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!
