FigMcLargeHuge,

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World leaves me in stitches every time.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Google prepared an optional Earthquake alert system

If you read between the lines of their ‘earthquake system’, it is obviously polling your phone on a very short and granular basis and pulling movement data, which is something no one seems to be talking about. This is the kind of data collection that pisses me off, and they get away with this by trying to pass this off as some sort of wonderful life saving system that I bet no one even knew they were contributing data to.

FigMcLargeHuge,

The governments don’t even need to go that far, they just get the data directly from the corporations people just willingly divulge it to.

How do you archive your e-mails? What format should the archive-files have? eml? mbox? (heise.cloudimg.io)

I would like to REALLY archive some older e-mail-folders. Archive seems not to be the right word, because i work with empty inboxes, so every completed or answered e-mail is still archived in a folder (with the name of the year), but i use IMAP so all archived emails are still on the server....

FigMcLargeHuge,

Commenting because I too am interested in this. I also would like to see if anyone has solved the issue with Thunderbird and Yahoo email where only 10,000 emails are kept. I have an inbox with about 20+years of emails, and with the 10k cap, I realized Thunderbird was literally deleting the oldest ones. Since I wisely told it not to delete them on the server when it copied them, I didn’t lose them, but with that volume of emails, I really don’t want to have to manually move them into folders. Guess this turned into a ramble, but it would be nice to have a backup since you never know when one day you will wake up to be told service x is shutting down.

FigMcLargeHuge,

It would have taken less time to google how to recover deleted files.

Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**

I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”,...

FigMcLargeHuge,

Please don’t! That’s what made reddit such a shithole in my opinion.

FigMcLargeHuge,

I get that. And reddit had tools so that you could create your own groups of subs. I guess I just am not the target of the kinds of crap posts that were just constantly force fed to the main feed by the relatively few mentioned above. Quantity doesn’t equate to quality.

Car Condos coming to Circuit of the America's (communityimpact.com)

The condos will be designed for either cars or motorcycles and will provide owners with customized interiors specifically made to house those vehicles utilizing a two-level design with floor plans ranging between 1,500-6,000 square feet. Additionally, buyers will select from one of four available finishes. Those who purchase a...

FigMcLargeHuge,

It’s a motor pool.

I’ll let myself out.

FigMcLargeHuge,

I wonder why it was buoyant. Like if it’s just the sheared off end of a cylinder you’d think it would just sink?

Something doesn’t have to be buoyant to wash up on shore.

FigMcLargeHuge,

I don’t know enough about this to argue, so sure. We are all just jumping to conclusions though. It could have been partially submerged somewhere else, gathered the barnacles, and then relocated to this beach after a storm. Who knows…

FigMcLargeHuge,

If you find out, let me know. I may be able to help code something. In my opinion, one thread would do for now. You could open a sequential one when that one fills up.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Years ago I was discussing a 3d printer with my best friend. His suggestion was to start making a list. A list of 10 things that I wanted to create with the 3d printer that also were not things just downloaded from the internet. When I got to 10 then it was ok to make a purchase. So I made the list, and slowly it got to the 10th item. Once I got to 10, I went ahead and bought a printer. It was then that I realized one thing. I should have bought the damn thing when I got to number 2… If you have things you want to print out, jump in there. You are never going to find a ‘perfect’ printer, and will most likely have to do some tinkering, but that’s part of the fun. I have printed so many cool things with my printer and years later I am still happy that I got it when I did.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Those damn goats are takin our jerbs!!!

FigMcLargeHuge,

Can I put in a vote for the Arby’s off 35, the one I always seem to miss the exit to?

FigMcLargeHuge,

Have you tried Fluxx? Not sure it’s a game you can ‘Master’, but it does have some fun moments, and moments when you know a decision you make can totally change the game.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Shuffle a couple of them together. It makes a crazy game even crazier.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Is there a central location for suggestions/discussions about the Lemmy software?

FigMcLargeHuge,

Not to be callous, but why? We have four people here who willingly signed up for this knowing what the potential consequences could be and one who just threw caution to the wind as far as safety was concerned. I am sure more people have died on the roads while I was typing this. Besides, they were in international waters where according to all the news stories I read nothing you could pass would apply. I feel like this should just be a cautionary tale for others and thats as far as it needs to go. Oh, and let what's left of the company pay back the people who went out searching, assuming there are any funds left. I mean they obviously spent money on nothing but the best equipment.

FigMcLargeHuge,

The question here is, what game are they trying to play? I bet it’s that new Diablo!!

Defederation is a thing ... anyone for whom this community is a main draw and not yet committed to a Lemmy instance would do well to pitch their tent on lemmy.world

So, the instance I joined Lemmy on last week largely to participate here defederated from lemmy.world an hour ago. It’s early post-Reddit days, which is the only reason I’m posting a general tech tip in /r/!austin, but it’s a previously impossible inconvenience that isn’t theoretical. Choose wisely or start your...

FigMcLargeHuge,

Another thought is if you really want control over your “home” instance’s federation you could host your own instance and call all the shots

As someone who is going to move a subreddit over to Lemmy, this is a really good idea. I could just host that one on my own, and if I don’t add people to my server, I could make sure that it doesn’t get overloaded. People could connect from other federated servers to view and make posts/comments.

FigMcLargeHuge,

Starting to feel like home around here.
