I am asking for help during a difficult moment. I have been unemployed since late September and despite ongoing interviews, my family is facing eviction. Approximately $8,000 is needed to stop the eviction and cover legal fees. Any assistance or boosts are appreciated.

You people are clever. Can you help? I recently set up a debian server on hetzner. I think that I made an error in creating the partitions because I appear to have run out of space on my home directory.

/dev/mapper/SERVERNAME--vg-root mounted at / has just 13G allocated to it and is full, whereas /dev/mapper/SERVERNAME--vg-srv mounted at /srv has basically the whole drive, 131G, and has 2.1MB on it. I get the impression that home directory is under the vg-root

If that is right, how can I expand the vg-root at the expense of vg-srv? If that is wrong, what do I need to do?

despite being a tech incompetent, I decided that it would be fun to set up a jellyfin server on a rented server so that I could share films with friends. This is fine. I managed it. I have a question to which I think the answer is 'no':

Is there any way of connecting to the server over https without registering a domain name and pointing it at the server?

At the moment I just point my browser at IP-ADDRESS:PORT but of course there is no security certificate.

#nerdalert #smd #helpneeded #electronics #fixer #repair Has anyone got a steer on what this is, I’m drawing a blank. It’s on the power supply board for a heating system. The DF04S that feeds it is blown, so is a 78M05 nearby (as well as 3 opto isolators). Suspect a lightning strike.

help needed, english below:
"Die Sticker gehen zur Neige" wäre leicht untertrieben.

Zwecks Neuauflage:
Was für infos sollten auf die Sticker? QR Codes? (Ich finde urls schon nicht schön...)
Wie vermittelt man leichter was das ist?
Ich bin noch immer Fan vom Spruch: No Musk, No Zuck, No AI, No Algorithn - NO BULLSHIT

---

To say that the stickers are running low would be an understatement.

For the purpose of reprinting:
What kind of information should be on the stickers? QR codes? (I don't even like the URLs on it...)
How can we convey what this is more easily?
I'm still a fan of the sentence: No Musk, No Zuck, No AI, No Algorithm - NO BULLSHIT

Sometimes I think about my old home and the memories connected to it. The places, the rooms, even the arrangement of the furniture, everything reminds me of past times. Life goes on, but thinking about my old home remains part of my daily routine and memories.
Please, keep supporting my children. We are still without a job. Do not leave us alone after the world has abandoned us.🙏💔😔

Today was one of the hardest days of my life. We were hit by flooding after nonstop heavy rain, and every moment felt like a tough battle against nature. We tried our best to protect what we could, but the fear and exhaustion were overwhelming. We watched things we love at risk, feeling helpless against the force of the water. It was a long, exhausting day, filled with pain and unforgettable heavy emotions. 💔

I need advice. I would really like to create a single giant PDF from a bunch of smaller PDFs and I want it to have a load of bookmarks or a contents tab that lets me jump to the indexed page.

I foolishly thought that I could use okular for this. I have been dutifully bookmarking my smaller PDFs but it now appears that the bookmarks do not actually form part of the file. They are somehow stored elsewhere and when my particular instance of okular is loaded it has access to all of my bookmarks. I can't access them if I open my PDFs with a different instance or a different reader.

I would really like a way of exporting the bookmark file and importing it into a new document as a table of contents. Is that possible? If not, how do I start again to achieve my goal?

JetBrains vs custom font issue

I usally use a retro font called "MxPlusIBMVGA9x16". Childhood nostalgy. I can use it anywhere but in JetBrains terminals. It is not listed as monospace font in the reworked terminal's menu. It is listed as monospace editor font though. 🤷

I dissected the font with FontForge and with Python's fonttools lib too. Panose table, isFixedPitch are in order. What should I look for to fix?

You have no idea how much I suffer just to connect and send my voice from the middle of war — only to ask for the most basic right: to live.
I’m not asking for much. Not for luxury.
Just the chance to survive… to help my family… to stay alive.
Most days I’m starving, freezing, dizzy, and weak.
We live in a torn tent. We have nothing.
And still… even my account gets shut down.
I feel invisible. Silenced. Erased.

Hi Fedi!
My wife is a biology teacher and she wants to use flashcards for class. She found Quizlet, but it's behind a paywall.
Can anyone recommend a selfhostable Quizlet alternative?
