May is after all of 2024’s primary races, so this date ensures that GOP voters won’t know the outcome and won’t even have to think about the trial. IMO, this is about the most pro-Trump decision she could have made.
Days Gone. New to me. My pet peeve is that the motorcycle is a piece of junk. It’s got like 1.5 gallon gas tank and gets something like 2km/gallon. Or maybe it’s 1 mpg, but the game uses metric for distances and imperial for volume.
Everybody else is already talking about homeassistant. I’m going to add that there are zigbee, z-wave, and rarely bluetooth based alternatives for almost all of the nest/alexa/etc accessories, and those work through a local hub.
Nowadays, I think the the term has been largely separated from its’ negative correlation to fellatio. Personally, I never even realized the correlation until I was very far into my adulthood, and most people my age never used the word with that meaning in mind at all.
This is kind of my point - the majority population never has any reason to think about the origin or evolution of our synonyms for bad, we just pick them up from usage - usage by older people who may have racist or xenophobic intent, or may have picked the terms up by osmosis themselves. That’s how the slurs get engrained in language. But I’m willing to bet, even if you don’t actively think of ‘sucks’ as connected to fellatio, that you’ve used ‘sucks dick’ or ‘sucks balls’ as an emphatic. (If your emphatic is ‘sucks eggs,’ then you’re even older than I imagine, and please forgive my ageism ;) )
For a while, I was bombarded by alt right YouTube videos. It’s so crazy to think just a few clicks can lead you down that path.
I think it’s that people who are into that kind of messaging are really into that kind of messaging and tend to binge-watch whole feeds. Engagement-driven algorithms present more and more of it hoping to get those ad presentations. I hope it’s not a nefarious conspiracy to boost right wing propaganda, but I suppose, without the actual algorithm, that we’ll never know.
I don’t even think of handicapped people at all when I hear that word.
When people talk about ‘privilege,’ this is what they mean. When you really stop to think about it, a huge amount of our casual insults/denigrations come down to slurs on anthropomorphized objects. If you believe that propagating such language is hurtful to the people the slur represents, you can make yourself crazy thinking about all the synonyms for ‘bad.’
Is it really awful? Who knows…probably depends on the degree, but one can imagine that someone actually living with whatever deviation, someone who spends their life with awareness that their ‘lameness’ means they will never be the Adonis- or Venus-like advertising model, might become hypersensitive to those words. I’m not saying that we need to shun people who use ‘sucks [dick]’ or ‘lame’ instead of ‘bad,’ but I appreciate the people who make that effort.
It’s kind of the bring-your-own-bag approach to inclusivity. Using your own bag at the grocery store isn’t going to influence climate change; stopping slur-based judgements isn’t going to end discrimination; but they’re things an individual can do to feel a little better.
Federation directly addresses this. If there’s a locked community, or a fake community on some instance, make another elsewhere. There will be some growing pains, but eventually people should migrate to the community that best suits their interests and attitudes. It’s messy and more work than just taking the big corporate sponsored option, but that’s the nature of organic communities.
There was another thread recently asking, “Do I need to subscribe to [community] on all these different instances?” Sure, that’s a great way to find the ‘best’ one for you. Or just sub the biggest, or the one on the biggest instance, and hope for the best.
Most of what you’ll find is user management and system administration, because LDAP is a common backend for user authentication &c at larger sites, but there’s no reason it can’t store arbitrary data. openldap.org slapd on the backend and maybe directory.apache.org/studio/ on the frontend. But since it’s built around user authentication, it has layers of security and access control that really complicate understanding the actual system.
What you’re describing sounds a lot like LDAP, but it could be I’m just triggered by “schemas.” LDAP would be the backend; there’s a whole slew of LDAP browsers, but none of them really seem like they’re targeted at users.
Definitely dual stack if you do. The real benefit of IPv6 is that, supposedly, each of your internal devices can have its own address and be directly accessible, but I don’t think anyone actually wants all of their internal network exposed to the internet. My ISP provides IPv6, but only a single /128 address, so everything still goes through NAT.
Setting it up was definitely a learning process - SLAAC vs DHCP; isc’s dhcpd uses all different keywords for 6 vs 4, you have to run 6 and 4 in separate processes. It’s definitely doable, but I think the main benefit is the knowledge you gain.
As I’ve been lurking around the fediverse, running instances seems to be universally a hobby project, and it’s a little concerning. It kind of gives the impression of all being idealistic young kids embarrassed to ascribe value to their own time. I mean, you can do a lot with volunteer labor, especially if it’s a good ecosystem with appropriate recognition and gratitude, but the people are absolutely the most valuable parts of kbin.social, lemmy.world, etc, and they do have to eat, pay rent, go on vacation. It’s tough to respond to a 3am message about your instance being hacked if you have a job to be at four hours later, and leads to a whole different kind of burnout.
It’s early days yet, but I hope the bigger instance teams get some input from people who’ve managed growth spurts in non-profits, and especially the transition to their first paid staff members (even when that staff member is the owner).
If they’re #10 (US) screws, they’d be 4.8mm major diameter and 24 or 32 threads per inch, so something like M4.8-1.06 or M4.8-0.78. If M5-0.8 thread half way, it sounds more like 10-32.
If you’re outside the US, that might be why the previous owners resorted to the ugga-dugga. That will (probably) have wrecked those holes for either their factory pitch or whatever the owners used. You might consider getting a 5MM drill and a 6mm hand tap. You might have fair luck with 10-32 screws, depending on how hard they are to get in your country.
Set one up yesterday. My first experience with VPS, but it was straightforward; seems plenty fast, but I haven’t done anything to push either memory or CPU.
