regardless of the tools, you should never trust something online to stay for long, there are so many things that can cause a post to be deleted, poster deleting it, server going down, admin error, change of rules etc, lemmy has got the advantage of having an open api, use it to save your shit and don’t expect anything to stay online for long

that’s exactly where shared blocklist are a problem, if for some reason or another someone’s instance get mistakingly defederated, which is far form unlikely in one the enormous instances that have to manage federation of hundreds of instances, then all of a sudden, that big instance everyone trust get their blocklist copied all over the verse and poor jane is blocked from everything and has no idea why

20gramsWrench,

As usual, the American can’t see anything beyond their little island, also, in case you didn’t know, tankie servs get routinely defederated, and it’s not for their racism/transphobia or whichever big word is so easy to brandish when angry

it’s called reading around, it’s like watching tiktoks but with text, though it requires some form of context guessing which will be a challenge since the conversations you can read online are not always directed at you

it has less information on screen at any given time than stock dwm so it looks clean an professional on screenshots

20gramsWrench,

you should check out theming in kvantum, same svg principle applied to all the content of the window, and in inkscape turn on the code editor, just the names of the categories is enough documentation

20gramsWrench,

Worked in a repair shop long enough to know that a whole lot of mac users just know they bought a “better computer” without any idea of what an operating system is, someone showed them that the photo they took on their phone magically appeared on their computer and that was all the info they needed to pay 2 grand for it

Size comparison to a human further away, the human is not even in focus of the camera, that photo barely even compares the hairiness of the two primates so far away from each other they are

Edit: The title was changed to better reflect the purpose of that photography, and therefore my comment lost any relevancy and can be justly ignored.

Just picked up two 2013 Mac Pro (Trashcan) any thoughts on what to do with them?

Picked up a 12 core and an 8 core with 64gb ram, both with d700 GPUs for a steal (150 each). Was thinking of running the 12 core as a server and maybe another as a dedicated router running pfsense and connecting a thunderbolt raid array for local media and jellyfin? Havent done any home server/homelab stuff before so was...

20gramsWrench,

finding a server usecase that would justify the consumption is going to be a challenge, when most home server task can run on a pi

Lemmy is a foss anti-coporate project, what kind of demographics do you expect to see here ?

there’s a video of a bunch of vegans stoping a truck from moving for a few hours, truly terrifying terrorism

20gramsWrench,

just in case, you tried on two computers, but is it the same card reader ? I’ve seen more dead microSD to usb/sd readers than sd cards in my life

20gramsWrench,

with an integrated micro-sd reader or do you used a miscro-sd to normal-sd converter to put them in ?

20gramsWrench,

“lemmy” itself is just a type of website we call instances, so people and organization host it themselves in the place of their choice

It is important to note that before the event of tiktok and before everyone and their peers sef-diagnosed as autistic, the term was already used semi-ironically for comedic effect on less sensible internet forums when describing any nerdy behavior, as it is in this context.

You may still deplore the use of a disease slight divergence from the societally accepted set of behaviors as a comically charged descriptor, but make sure you don’t interpret is as a serious commentary on the nature of the project, for that would be in error.

20gramsWrench,

As you probably noticed, English is not my first language, I apologize for the use of the word disease instead of the appropriate description of what autism is, I have edited my comment to better reflect what your stuck-up puritan ass would prefer to read.

20gramsWrench,

sure thing you pedantic wordchoice goblin

20gramsWrench,

Funny enough, just like you, I was bothered not by the meaning or intent but by the form, scolding someone for an arguable miss-use of a word without adding anything to the conversation in the form of a complaint rather than an advice or side-note was rude.

20gramsWrench,

I have a feeling you could keep talking for hours without adding anything more than you already did, please accept my apology for not continuing to bicker about our sterile back and forth, as it won’t make either of us any more informed or happy, may your upcoming days be pleasant

20gramsWrench,

everyone else is right, the downvotes are unfair but your probleme seems to be fairly linux related.

What are the specs of your machine and how do you launch the games ?

depending ing on your graphics card, it may not support vulkan

If you are not already, try to use lutris, that way you will be able to chose which version of whine and dxvk you are using and get a bit more info on what is happening with your system, I frequently run game from gog on it and they run fine

20gramsWrench,

honestly, laser is laser, higher prices are usually stuffs like, integrated scan or bigger paper capacity, mostly added features rather than print quality.

For the plug and play, you probably are still going to have to pick a driver during installation, most of the time, drivers for older model the same class of printer will work

fake ex: PAPERLOVE CFG-3420D will work fif you have a PAPERLOVE CFG-3520D

20gramsWrench,

I think hp and windows rotted the way you view drivers, what I call drivers are just what your computer use to communicate with devices, they aren’t software suite that updates and ask for your account, drivers are like 2kb text files with a index of available function and what signal to sent to the printer for it to print, what you see as drivers is the heavy and predatory spyware they ship with printer to steal your data and make you spend more miney, when you install a printer on linux (especially brother) you are just getting the little file with the printer’s language, depending on your distro, it will give you a big ass list of available drivers to use with the printer you just connected, it won’t ever ask you to update or even try to communicate with the internet, since it’s a passive file that your computer use and not a program that is launched, those files are available on windows btw, the manufacturers just make them very hard to get for obvious reasons, and windows itself will install the spyware as if it’s a driver through windows update, one of the many reason I fucked off of it

20gramsWrench,

when you choose the partitions you want, there is a little checkbox asking you if you want to encrypt your hard drive

20gramsWrench,

encrypting the drive mainly prevent an eventual thief from getting access to your files, including personal documents and web cookies, since system passwords does absolutely nothing against someone with access to your hard drive, and that includes paswords you may have writtend on a file that you later deleted, where as if you encrypted your drive, there is nothing you have to worry about but to buy another computer if it is stolen

Would have been funny if they forgot to renew theyr ssl cert

20gramsWrench,

it’s arch but they have their own repo and hold back most packages for a week to make sure they don’t break something before deploying them, with moderate success, their main particularity though is to have attracted the hatred of arch users since their creation and even mentioning the name will get you a full lecture about how they’re eating babies and selling their body parts

20gramsWrench, (edited )

there should be an authentication system certifying that your computer is using the right set of software before getting acess to the aur, it would be called the “os integrity api” and prevent the use of the aur from unapproved 3rd party software, all you would need to do is to log in to your verified arch user account and request a monthly aur usage token to be created and used by your registered system for the low price of 9.99

Did something specific happen ?

20gramsWrench,

maybe it’s not so bad, many of the reddit issues were caused by it’s rotting culture of ragebait loving and bandwagoning, as much as the lemmyverse benefit from trafic, going back to news influenced hate trains and obviously ill white women screaming at a camera on all pages is far from desirable, imhu of course

20gramsWrench,

I got the most use out of my porteus install, mainly with gnome disk installed and testdisk for the dd failures, it being persistant and having a 32bit version for very old machines

20gramsWrench,

your computer can pretty much run every single distribution in any desktop environment without a problem so go wild and try lots of them, pick anything a let yourself have a good week with it and it’s online documentation to do your thing every of them have good and bad parts. when asked the filesystem pick btrfs and set-up snapshots, that will save your ass when needed and it’s so quick you could break your system every week without being bothered
