  • TIL Howling Mad Murdock from the A-Team (1983) is also Lt. Barclay from Star Trek: TNG

    Jump

  • Unfortunately he's maga & anti trans 😢

  • Do you buy real Christmas trees or put up artificial ones?

    Jump

  • Real, but I keep it in a pot and it goes outside the rest of the year. It's about 3.5' tall at the moment and gets a little bigger each year. I've had it for 4 years now

  • What is your go-to karaoke song?

    Jump

  • Biz Markie - Just a friend

  • Just ended what must be my 4th rewatching of The Pitt -- must be the greatest medical show of all times

    Jump

  • House is really more an interpersonal drama in a medical setting. It's not about the medicine.

    The pitt is like a medical documentary in the format of 24. It's absolutely fantastic.

  • Is anyone else noticing lemmy.world having federation issues?

    Jump

  • They had a stick of ram fail which was causing some services to oom. Their maintenance should be fixing it

  • I was given a steam giftcard for my b-day, what now?

    Jump

  • Holiday sale starts Dec 18th

  • Show us your 2025 wrapped

    Jump

  • You first?

  • Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS protection system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group?

    Jump

  • Doesn't really make sense for self hosting. Filtering the traffic is pointless if the traffic just completely overwhelms your internet.

    Also generally self hosters aren't running bgp with their own asn.

  • Man behind in-flight Evil Twin WiFi attacks gets 7 years in prison

    Jump

  • You generally have to accept the captive portal pages before your vpn connection will be allowed.

  • Master Replicas taking pre-orders for new board game Destination: Star Trek: The Next Generation

  • Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you're at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It's much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.

    That being said I've been in many data centers in the middle of a giant office towers, but they have lower weight limits generally.

  • is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead of turning it off?

    Jump

  • It's horrible about sleeping. If you want your battery, turn it off. The latest update seems to be better, but I wouldn't trust it in your shoes.

  • Spoof insists on helping by carrying my umbrella

    Jump

  • Yep. He's happy to trade in it for a treat.

  • BBC apologises to Trump over edit but refuses to pay compensation

    Jump

  • Having dug up and watched how they edited it, yes a retraction was definitely called for. They cut out almost an hour of content to manipulate his words in a way a journalist should never do.

    Fuck paying him any money though. Their response here seems reasonable.

  • Deep Rock Galactic set for new biomes, missions and enemies in Season 6

    Jump

  • Yay, finally!

  • Classic cat

    Jump

  • I'm on my 8th cat in my life, and they've all been very affectionate. Most of them haven't started that way, but you just keep forcing love in small doses on them and eventually they admit they like it.

    Strangers have come over and are blown away when my cat will just climb into their lap and demand cuddles.

  • Was thinking of getting into 3d printing, doesn't this listing seem too good to be true? (Answered)

    Jump

  • If you're new to 3d printing, I don't recommend buying a used budget printer unless you have extreme tolerance for troubleshooting someone else's problems.

    They're cheap enough new.
