Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • Found a calorie tracking app that I like.

    Jump

  • Like that it is largely offline other than to search the food DB sources, no account to have to sign into and feed your data to someone.

    Dislikes, some graphical glitches on my phone like buttons going off the edge and unable to scroll down. Also, no murica measurements for those of us accustomed to measuring against arbitrary, non-scientific standards.

  • Milking dust

  • You got F'd when you 69'd in school? Sounds wild.

  • I tried this coffee but it kept sticking to my teeth

    Jump

  • A cafe selling 'cum drops' in Bangkok, they knew what they where doing.

  • You won't believe what it is!

  • What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD (or VHS) ?

    Jump

  • DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room

    Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.

  • US Warns of Heightened Risk of Iranian Cyber-Attacks After Military St - Infosecurity Magazine

    Jump

  • Donnie soon; 'computers are for nerds, I don't use em, we where a lot better off without all this cyber nonsense, and their Intel is wrong, Tulsi is wrong here, should have gone with AMD, sound a lot like and, and this and that, brings things together...'

  • It doesn't look like a list to me, but a riddle.

    Would putting a Q: and A: in front of them satisfy you or would that send you off on a different tangent of chastising web users on their formatting?

    Maybe instead of people needing to apply exacting rules to accommodate an accessibility tech, the tech should get better at interpreting human tendencies of writing. Even today I can write in a non-structured natural language form and a decent chat bot can typically make a reasonable interpretation of it without help.

  • Task failed successfully

    Jump

  • In some ways the kid's poem about an old lady who swallowed a fly/spider/bird/etc is a good image of our attempts at controlling invasive species. Eventually, nature will figure it out without our help.

  • You might think that Star Trek is a show about exploration, about science, about morality, about what humanity is capable of if we truly embrace the best of ourselves

    Jump

  • Every so often I continue to be impressed with some of the unexpectedly specific sites that someone took the time to make.

  • Eating shit is for alphas, am I rite guise

    Jump

  • Shh, you'll spoil the surprise...

  • News@lemmy.sdf.org weird mod behavior?

    Jump

  • Some comms are treated like the mod's personal sounding board. Post what they want but refuse any discussion on it.

  • Schadenfreude is now banned. And many other political posts of similar nature are banned too. Low quality and fake news is also banned.

    Jump

  • Reality doesn't actually consist of an unending torrent of bullshit drowning people in misery, that's just what sells in the media and outrage algorithms.

    Sometimes people like to see a win in their life rather than be told it's all going to hell.

  • RFC - Every community should have active moderators or get auto-locked

    Jump

  • I would think this all this is perhaps a personal preference on a given instance, but not practical on a global scale.

    If an instance owner wants to accept the risk of a chaotic, unmoderated space on their server so be it. Other instances are quite capable of blocking a comm or defederating if it's an instance wide problem.

    There's also the potential to blockade new comms on small instances when I think of it here. If I, as an admin of a single person instance, try and set up a few niche comms for personal interests and they where report-bombed by people just being trolls, there would never be a way to get them off the ground. You would spend all your time responding to reports rather than creating content in order to avoid them being locked.

  • bad stonks :(

  • Not bad at all, we got about 5M users since the 27th it seems.

  • New Dad Can't Wait to Show Newborn Child Hard Drives Full of Pirated Movies Once He's Old Enough

    Jump

  • That's pretty well what I started with 20 years or so ago, had them in some little box with some funny Nvidia CPU. That go upped to a pair of 3 TB that have somewhere around 10 years uptime on them if I recall by now, and kind of spiraled from there. Rsync on a schedule is nice for that.

    Jump

  • Just part of a lab built over the years. Primary storage is a Dell R730XD filled mostly with 12 TB drives all set up in a ZFS array comprised of mirror vdevs, so redundant by default plus the built in ZFS snapshots for the rare need for a rollback on a dataset.

    It only recently got that big because I had a mixed set of drives going back years and finally decided to work on getting them all to the same size and picked 12 as a good cost/volume balance, can find them at used server parts shops for a bit over $100 each.

    Major risk is I don't have a good auto alert for smart monitor issues, so just make sure to occasionally manually copy the vital stuff like photos to an external drive.

  • How do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn't just a bragging score, it's aiding the communal health.

    Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that'll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it'd be a shame to waste it.

    What are some of the viable {political,governance} {structures,ideologies} out there?

  • Despite being comprised of similar letters Lemmy and LLM are not interchangeable...

  • The European Comission is looking for feedback on forcing retention of metadata from all communication services for "a reasonable period of time", for purposes of criminal investigation!

    Jump

  • Right, I just use the term sometimes to say hiding things, even if it's hidden via encrypting it.

    Will have to delve into the papers for simplex later here, but in the end there needs to be some type of known identity to pin a communication to, otherwise you've already breached the confidentiality point of the security triad by not authenticating the recipient.
