My brain refuses to remember that they there are any utility keys below the enter on a US keyboard. The right pinky moves over and up, never down. I also never hit the spacebar with my right hand.
I never formally learned to type, I just picked it up because my hands have been glued to keyboards since the 80s.
Back in 2001 I slept with the radio on and was on the US west coast. So I literally woke up September 11th to live breaking news that life would never be the same.
I woke up just in time to turn on the TV and see the 2nd tower get hit.
Other commenters have given great info so far. I’ll tack on that the community discovery within the Lemmy web UI is terrible. If you want to dig for communities other than gets suggested here, the Communities tab on Lemmy Explorer is much better.
Water then bag: I brew in a pot and used to use one of those diffuser baskets that rests just below the lid. I switched to bags but kept the order of operations the same.
I guess I’ll be rebooted by Mindy until I’m too powerful for the universe… or my windchimes fall off.
“Saltwater Intrusion” is going to become a fairly common story in coastal areas in a few years, to the point it becomes normal. The way everyone has just accepted fire season in the western US.
Which, in turn, will bring more and more shady water-rights selloffs and thefts, main affecting marginalized communities.
Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.
Good call. That’s plan b now.
Thanks!
I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.
Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.
Yeah. The generations older than me in my family never got over the great depression. So late summer was always about pickling and canning. Then the family spent the fall trading their canned goods. Then spent the spring talking about which things were and weren’t so good.
My step-grandmother made it in a 10 gallon barrel and used the end of a baseball bat to pound it down. Then put an ancient plate with bricks on it to keep it compressed while it cured. Sadly that seems to be all I remember.
Twin size are plenty big for my 350lb frame to cocoon up in. King sized blankets are 7 feet wide.
For close to 20 years now my wife and I have bought twin sized flat sheets and blankets for our king bed. We’re both blanket hogs and now we get to be by not sharing. People used to look at us like we were crazy when we mentioned it, but I hear more and more people doing it and even saw and article calling it the “Scandinavian method” or something else pretentious sounding.
We’ve been doing it so long I feel like we invented it, even though that’s a silly idea. But I am half Scandi so, you know, maybe it was named after me.
General popular buy in.
If 5% of the country tries to strike it’s just going to get 5% of people fired with a poisoned reference on their CV, and get a story on page 3 of a billionaire owned newspaper. In the US right now 45% of the country would actively oppose a general strike, 30% would be oblivious to it happening until they got to work that day and wondered why Chris and Pat aren’t in, and 20% would decline for fear of reprisal (sans union protection).
Everything backs up to a Synology diskstation (with disk redundancy). The Syno’s Hyperbackup makes backups of critical stuff stuff to the cloud weekly. In the case of my self-hosted stuff, it’s mostly the share storage where all my docker volumes map to. Also workstation backsups, home assistant backups, phone photos, etc.
A back up of the temporally replaceable stuff (everything not covered above) which is hosted from the Diskstation, is made to an external drive a few times a year and stored off-site the rest of the time. This isn’t 3-2-1, but its close enough for my needs.
Isolationism occurs in any functioning group because people fear losing it, or being drown out by the new users. There’s also the small sect of people who seem to have the vocal attitude of “well I figured it out so you shouldn’t need my help,” which I’ve run into in varying forms.
I remember it happening on Reddit too. First when the great Digg migration occurred. And at various times later in some subs that shot to frontpage level popularity.
I think we should encourage migration. Lemmy isn’t going to shoot to Reddit levels overnight, we’re probably seeing a growth that will plateau, then shrink as people miss their niche communities (which we have too few active users to have thrive). If we’re very lucky the folks that stick around will grow Lemmy 10ish%. But every time we do that those niche communities become that much more viable and Lemmy in generally becomes more appealing lurkers.
Peanut butter and sweet onion (Walla Walla onions where I live) sandwiches. I prefer them on a plain bagel.
This is about viral shitposts. Potash is and always was; the alpha and the omega; the one truth.
Potash is eternal, tis no meme ;)
The 90s smelled like sex and candy, but the smell was actually vintage clothes from the 70s and leaded-gas fumes.
