Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today

  • Is lemmy dying?

    Jump

  • Same, I've blocked every single news and politics and it's bustling

  • put this under the bed of your ailing pregnant mother to suck the disease out of her body and into this. Just don't eat it after, make sure you burn it

  • Setting up radio in the alps

    Jump

  • Yes I see the value differences now.

    Maybe I will try the wash. I'm not sure why but this piece just it felt like every stroke would lose so much value as it dried. Maybe that's normal for watercolor, I'm still really struggling to transition from oil and digital.

    I watch folks like James Gurney though and am super inspired. He does such a good job. It's a big bonus to able to do a little painting like this in a small pocket notebook in a hotel lobby while traveling.

    I also just got what looks like a really good book on watercolor that I'm starting to read, that will also help. It's a really hard medium! Feels like if oil and digital is a bicycle, watercolor is a unicycle. Just much more tricky to keep my balance. I'll mix what looks correct on the pallet, but as it dries it fades so much. Almost feels like I have to think in 4d, imagining how each value will fade in advance and pre-darken it? Or maybe there needs to be more layers?

    Jump

  • I think just here on Lemmy from some photo community. I've blocked probably close to a thousand communities, so the only stuff I see is cool things like that photo, other people's art, and jokes. And owl pictures

  • If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

    Jump

  • Yeah watch out for this one then. Especially if you get into the mods that turn a 30-50 hour campaign into 500+ hours with 20x more complexity.

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • Same thing I said the other post, be sure it's a device with removable battery or a battery bypass so it doesn't turn into a spicy pillow and catch fire

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

    Jump

  • I was considering this a few weeks ago but am hesitant that it will turn the phone's battery into a spicy pillow. Probably best to ensure it's a device with a removable battery or the ability to prevent the battery fully charging

  • TIL people in Montana, Alaska and Wyoming have the highest suicide rate.

    Jump

  • I wonder if the dose makes the poison or you have a useful trait for lone hunter or trapper

  • Needs a wedding ring

    Jump

  • It all started with that smile... that damned smile

  • Rant - it's always frustrating to see people considering 38k monthly active users as "no users"

    Jump

  • As if complaining with no power will convince capitalists to make changes.

    These people just love to complain that Reddit doesn't listen to them, but they still sit at the trough when Reddit ignores them. Why should Reddit spend good money trying to appease them if they aren't even going to threaten to leave

  • Octavius Rex (Alpha Male)

    Jump

  • Performative anything is so cringe, and performative toxic masculinity is the king of cringe.

    Toxic masculinity is so rooted in fear, it's like dressing up as a scared mouse. Wow, you're scared... of different skin colors? People with different outdoor hobbies than you? What a weird sad thing

  • Removed

    Cardigans really do be like that

    Jump

  • yeah but a good cardigan is softer than a hoodie and warmer because it's like cashmere or wool and not cotton/poly blend.

    Also makes me look like an old fart

  • Optimism around the Steam Frame

    Jump

  • I'm very curious what the details are. A Linux Vision Pro sounds very enticing. It could be a lot of fun for inventing new user interaction modalities.

  • Total scam

    Jump

  • Some parents I know actually never really get angry when their kids do stupid shit and instead talk it out. I have to do wonder if those kids will be super well adjusted or totally deranged. I kind of feel like they'll be so different from me as to barely be the same species, but probably in a good way, like more evolved

  • Chief Executive Oilcel

    Jump

  • There's an nbc interview where it seems he's on some serious blow barely able to string words together into coherent sentences

  • what is the equivalent of somatic exercises for the mind?

    Jump

  • I can second these and add

    • yoga
    • guided meditation videos
    • breathing exercises
    • long walks with a heavy pack

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?s

    Jump

  • I've been hosting Home Assistant now for about nine months very smoothly. So far the only outage has been when I moved the server into a different room last week because it was cluttering up my office. Feels good to have it tucked away in a closet. I've got my thermostat, and all my upstairs lights running through it. I keep trying to get these moisture sensors to work for my plants but they just keep losing signal or something and rtl433 just stops seeing those but meanwhile detects every other damn hardware on the whole block. I've got 500+ entities that aren't my three sensors lol. Once I figure that out my Plant Cards dashboard will work again which is super cool.

    Other than that, I've been hosting Jellyfin for home media and digging it. Much less success with the 'arr suite, it works and stays up but it really struggles to automatically find the weird-ass old niche media I'm looking for. I generally have to handle that part manually, but at least they are good as wishlist of what I'm looking for so I can use that just to keep track.

    All in all these two servers (home assistant OS on an old laptop, jellyfin and arr on my former Ubuntu desktop) have been great and just work really without any issues.

    Oh last week when I moved them into the closet, they got assigned new IP addresses, so I figured out how to lock them so my clients and bookmarks still work.
