For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.
That’s probably your app’s UI being more confusing than it needs to.
Your account is on lemmy.world (at least the one you posted this from).
You can just open it in a browser and go to https://lemmy.world/
I find the web version less confusing than most client apps.
You can change your display name, but not the username.
Then again, you can always just make a new account and transfer your subscriptions and settings (but not your post/comment history).
Billionaires captured the system
Well yes, media was one of the first pillars of democracy to be captured.
Warrantied drives still fail, they just happen to ship you a replacement.
Commercial drive trashing solutions are basically a smaller, fancier version of the mechanism in a log splitter.
You could probably rig a sketchy drive wedge/bending thing with a pump jack rather easily.
Wear PPE.
The odds of someone taking a failed drive and transplanting the platters to a working drive is pretty low to begin with.
Me? I don’t have tons of drives to destroy, so I just unscrew the thing, get the platters out and smash those.
Reading about the funding bill, it also seems to include dismantling of some checks and balances.
They’re probably fucked either way, I just don’t know enough to tell which is worse.
Seeing as both Bernie, AOC and federal workers’ unions agree to vote no on that one, they’re probably on to something.
Idk, I don’t live in a failed state
Reading a bit it seems the funding bill in its current form basically cuts their remaining healthcare and removes most congressional oversight on how money is actually spent, among other things.
If so then yea it’s probably not better than a shutdown.
So like… what the fuck even happens in a government shutdown?
How does power shift when that happens?
Your examples seem vaguely related to home automation, so maybe they’re already in Home Assistant.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/
It has a bunch of sensors and media related integrations. You can also add custom REST API queries.
For me, Plex would often end up having audio drift lag and it was annoying as fuck. It’d start fine, then the lag would gradually increase until you changed encoding back and forth, then gradually increase again.
Jellyfin just works.
That was enough to get me to switch and not look back. I’m also rid of the bullshit plex login that I never cared for, and also of their push for whatever “recommended” stuff is supposed to be about.
Make sure you test this from outside your network and not simply by using the public IP, but from inside your LAN. Odds are your ISP modem doesn’t support NAT loopback (also known as NAT hairpin).
Your own user might have root, but the ansibke user probably isn’t.
You can enable ansible privilege escalation by adding become: true
in your yaml file.
It is likely safer in the long run to set it for a specific task than globally.
Lemmy does exponential backoff with something like this:
retry_in = min(1.25^retry_count, 24*3600)
Basically, the timer for the next retry will grow exponentially until it reaches 1 day, then it continues to retry every day.
By that time, about 5 days will have gone by going through the previous retry failures.
If will eventually give up and mark as dead but I don’t remember the threshold for that.
A high enough dose of UV would definitely kill the brain worms.
Yeeting them into the sun would be a proper posology.
Also: Obligatory “so does a handgun” XKCD
That and loading children comments… but only from a single thread, load more, lpad more, show all comments or context or whatever.
The UI became garbage along the way.
There’s plenty of bans to go around, but mostly spam and the odd pathetic bigot.
When I discovered lemmy… I thought it was nice just being able to browse and not be immediately assaulted by several popups to login, cookies, or the classic “download our app” bullshit.
I know people love their apps, but the web UI works. Browsers have great features already like tabs, bookmarks, adblockers, etc.
Reddit has been actively hostile for a while.
Here?
On one hand, it’s a smaller place, so there’s less content to browse…
On the other hand, it’s a smaller place so you can reply to an older thread and still have interaction with people.
On reddit, if I replied to a thread that was 1h old, it was like sending a message in a bottle, floating in an endless sea where none would find it or shouting in the void.
Anyway, welcome home / make it your home.
Peace
