Valmond,

This makes it just confusing? The pink heart = good, but the red cross = good too? But again the red cross seems bad as green = blocked.

Sorry I don’t get it.

Valmond,

Thank, I’m probably an idiot :-)

Edit: I’ll get to it (my instance is small, I’m not very knowledgeable about the nitty gritty stuff, can I do it from Jerboa for example, or is it in some config file? I remember putting someone on the whitelist and thus blocking the whole fediverse…)

Just moved to Linux: a follow up

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

Valmond,

And a lot of configuration, or so I thought? I’m investing heavily but I’m scared for my investments :-)

Another Linux noob here, after a couple of Linux servers (Tenfingers, Lemmy) switched over (finally) my main PC, or well kids got the gaming machine and I’m on a Mint ThinkPad now :-) and a backup think centre tiny if the Lemmy server bails out.

I have this little windows box to print stuff (I didn’t know I hated printers) and every time I use it I’m so happy I don’t need windows in my personal life anymore…

Cheers and welcome OP!

Valmond,

Except that I’m jumping ship to Linux fully, I’m thinking a lot about hardware failure, not the data but say the mobo, so maybe that’s curious. Seemed you were knowledgeable about those things, or I’m explaining very badly.

Cheers

Valmond,

44 tanks O_o that must be some sort of record.

Either they are just getting worse (seems logic), or maybe they are trying for some advancement, like any advancement because the “generals” desperately needs one. Maybe both.

Valmond,

Yes I heard about that just now, seems they doesn’t make any progress at all (except some 20m in a field or something).

Le dernier sursaut avant la mort as we say here in France? (Last “jump” before death)

Valmond,

Sale is french for dirty :-)

Valmond,

I would love to find a camera that is small, and doesn’t take 20 seconds to boot…

Valmond,

What would the European equivalent be to “crackers”? I feel like its white idiots somehow but that that’s not the whole story?

I’m from the time when you learned was WASP was :-)

Valmond,

That was what I figured, WASP isn’t equal (totally or at all? Hence my question) to “cracker”.

Valmond,

And those vitamines are just crap.

There has been a very recent extensive study of vitamin C “supplements”. You know the conclusion was that there is only one sole reason that taking vitamin C that is good for you?

C vitamine deficiency.

Badum tss…

Valmond,

In our modern lives we all have D vitamin deficiency, but as you can overdose (fat soluble vitamin) you have to get a prescription for that.

Valmond,

Yeah not in the EU, or as you say in so low doses it’s not useful :-/

I get a mega dose for October, and December. Do the same, D vitamine deficiency is linked with so many problems later in life, most of them in the brain.

Valmond,

Me eating small birds and stuff 🤷

Valmond,

Crunch Crunch Crunch sorry what did you say?

Valmond,

Hey so where do you donate?

I mean in the beginning of the war it made sense to send even a small amount of money, later if seemed billions were pouring in so…

Today it looks like small donations can actually make the day brighter for the people over there, a small sum might become a a pair of gloves, 6 hours of light and a little warmth, some nicer food, …

Valmond,

You are right, but we also don’t have a “terrorist problem”.

There are mostly mentally ill people killing someone every 6 months because of being made believe idiotic things, which of cours is a tragedy. 3000 death in the circulation (cars n stuff), hundreds women beaten to death in no-terrorist ways, …

Extreme right (Le Pen) loves it though because blaming all societys problems on one “type of population” is sadly what works, they (the Le Pen family) have been doing it for decades and decades.

Valmond,

Dude, ten years earlier they drew Jesus, Mohammad, Buddah etc having group sex together.

France stands for the right to express yourself. Fuck those idiots thinking they were somewhat responsible for any kind of terrorist attack.

Valmond,

But making a drawing isn’t (a personal choice), how interesting.

Well actually not interesting at all, because you seemt just to be trolling (you just invented the part of ripping clothes off in the streets, talk of false equivalence) how boring.

Valmond,

Who should decide that someone has the right to draw an image and not another one? That’s how dictatorships starts, by limiting criticism.

If you think we should limit criticism (it’s not like believing in Jesus, Mohammed etc haven’t got millions killed and worse) you could start by limiting your own criticism. You know, to show how good it is to do it.

Valmond,

I don’t think Charlie Hebdo is very funny often, but you just grasping at straws here. You willfully misinterpret, no actually you just blindly follow a twitter that misinterpret something.

You know, they do this to anger people. To get followers. Etc.

Valmond,

Dude, stop changing the subject.

sHoUlD yOu haVe ThE rIgHt tO KILL cHildReN

Valmond,

Lol get a life.

Valmond,

Ouch, like youtube?

Valmond,

Like, okay you down voted, we totally care and all, but no one will see it style?

Valmond,

That’s the good thing with Lemmy, one instance can disable downvotes to f off TERFs, another has it enables for some civil discussion about bananas.

💖🍌

Valmond,

Ghostery plugin gang rise up!

Do you think it would be understandable/alright to be discriminatory towards people who identify with a world culture if that culture ended up declaring nuclear war and going through with the threats?

It’s no secret I’m on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like… what’s the deal?

Valmond, (edited )

Oh, another russian puppet.

Get lost Russia, we’re going to support Ukraine for how long time ig takes.

Edit: my answers seems to not being showing up. Maybe my instance isn’t handling it or something, we’ll see later.

Valmond,

Would that work with, say Lemmy config?

Valmond,

I’d probably try that out one day, with a copy.

Valmond,

Thank you!

I’ll play around with it, cloning a disc shouldn’t be that hard :-)

Valmond,

Yeah but I had a hard time setting things up manually (docker), so port that to ansible would be quite the job I guess (especially nginx), and I’m toying with the idea to compile Lemmy from scratch so eventually I could help one day.

Valmond,

Old European apartments with wooden floors that amplify sound like a fine tuned violin disagree :-)

To OP : talk to your neighbours. We had one old lady who wore her (lady shoes with a little heel) shoes inside and made a racket, she wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t asked. Now the nice lady wears slippers :-)

Valmond,

I thought we gen X were the youngsters in the nineties :-)

Valmond,

I don’t like the lord of the rings series.

It’s not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/

The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.

Valmond,

Just the beginning with the party, with dwarves in a sort of dance-cleaning party was absurd IMO.

They’re there to fight or die, only Gandalf (IIRC) managed them to even consider taking a hobbit with them. It should have been grim, but with a take making it possible, not a song and dance performance.

In all it’s too “American” (IMO) ; simplistic plot with easy to understand graphic battles. Then Win!

I also hated the painful play of Frodon and Sam, like some sort of painful master/slave idiocy. Not naming a totally overplayed Gollum.

Well well, I remember the end of the Hobbit was plaisant, and it was a long time ago I saw them so maybe I should rewatch them :-)

Valmond,

I answered just below, or above :-)

For the CG, I was at Paris GDC (game developers conference) where naughy dog(black dog, ??? I don’t remember) explained all the fuckups they did with LOTR, like when Aragorn magic-jumps on to his horse(idea was cool, execution horrible), the dragon flying through everything …

But for me that wasn’t the bad things (I love Star Trek and Dr Who!) but the blandness, “American style”.

Valmond,

All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can’t just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro…

You don’t like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.

Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is ‘meh’ I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).

Valmond,

Interesting, bug the book isn’t cringy like that though.

Valmond,

I didn’t say it was an American movie, just that it is “too American”. Too dumbed down. Too “bad person bad, because ugly”, “good person good looking and will win”, graphic battles etc.

Valmond,

Welcome friends!

Valmond,

Turkey doesn’t do what is asked though, like democratic reforms. If they don’t want to play by the EU rules then yeah, they can’t join.

Valmond,

No because you cured it. That can’t be that hard to get 😁

Valmond,

All your points are kind of fair to be worried about, but they have also all being debunked.

Overpopulation? Were having an underpopulation chrisis in the west.

Trump? You already have him! Making billions of people suffer didn’t fix that already.

Etc.

What’s Carousel BTW?

Valmond,

Europe and Japan.

Are your +1.2M also not immigration?

And yes everyone isn’t in the west but eventually they’ll be developed nations too and then people have less children.

You’ll have another Trump of Reagan or whatever anyways, it’s a democratic problem, not something being old solves. Doesn’t stop either if the two USA pretenders eh.

Curing aging doesn’t make people immortal or something, it just cures that particular disease. Like we have cures for lots of other diseases.

Idk who down voted you btw.

Valmond,

Ugh. Heard they were forced to take external companies for taking care of their buildings, skyrocketing rents etc.
