LPL showed us how he beats his one-eyed monster. He even convinced a friend to let him beat theirs on camera too. (gotta say, I’m not a fan of the veins or the puss…)

Provide them with a clean safe space where they’re comfortable; or they’ll do it anyway in secret.

You’re not going to stop them, if that’s your goal; you’ll only alienate your son in the process.

I will always recommend Borg backup just because of it’s compression+de-duplication algorithms:

550gb of raw data, 20 historical backups going back over a year (10.98tb of data total), only 400gb of disc space used to store them all…

You can backup directly to remote servers via ssh, nfs, or directly between two borg instances, optionally encrypted in transit and at rest.

Borg is a CLI tool normally, but there are a number of GUI frontends you can use if you really want: Vorta, BorgWeb, and BorgWarehouse for example. (I’ve not used any of these, just examples from a google search)

His body looks like the front half of a centaur.

Ha! that’s a great description of the top image.

Hopefully he’s been hung for treason and his companies nationalized by then…

I’m not against it; but I’m curious what blood does to a concrete mix. Can you just substitute water for blood, perhaps there’s a good ratio?

Maybe use it as a paint… That’ll probably look better too.

Toilet stalls, sure. If you put it in the urinals, you’ll have to scoop a turd out every day and nobody wants to deal with that…

I like this one :)

Step right up and topple the autocracy!

Disgusting.

Way to spit on Studio Ghibli and the human connection that gives art meaning.

FileBrowser

Create share links allowing anyone with the link (+ optional password) to browse and download individual files, or whole folder contents.

If someone needs to send me a file, I can create a user for them in a few seconds; so they can upload to that as well.

Blackout curtains in the bedroom, with an exra throw blanket blocking off the gaps on top to ensure 0 light gets in.

That room is usually lit with red LEDs to avoid blue light as I like to lay in bed watching YouTube for a few hours before sleep, and often wake up at night, have a smoke/joint, then go back to bed.

Living room has regular blinds that allow some light, and even get opened on occasion. More often than not though, lit by a pair of table lamps with dimmable smart bulbs in them.

That’s a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).

Oh! I’m blind…

Dec 4 was the day Luigi allegedly pulled the trigger.

I don’t know what that has to do with today and Mar 10th though…

? That’s a bizarre response.

No one here is trying to fleece you. People are suggesting ways to run your own instance as that’s the major difference between Reddit and Lemmy; you’re not obligated to use someone else’s hardware or be subject to their rules, you can setup your own systems and have a bit more freedom. Reddit doesn’t give you that option.

Your account is subject to the rules of the instance it was created on, as well as the rules of each community you’re interacting with. If you run afoul of the admins for your instance, you can be banned, losing access to that account completely.

If you were to run your own instance; no single admin could ban your entire account if you pissed them off. You can still be blocked from communities or entire instances if you don’t play nicely with others, but you won’t lose the account so you can still use it in other instances/communities.

For most people this isn’t really necessary; but lemmy also has a pretty large number of tech nerds that like to self-host our own services, so you’ll get quite a bit of ‘heres how you can do it yourself’ type responses.

Unlike reddit, you can just setup your own space on your own hardware completely under your own control, if you don’t like what’s available.

You’re not required to run your own instance on your own hardware; you’ve just got to find an existing instance with an admin team you’re comfortable with, create your community there and recruit moderators just like you would on Reddit.

I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It’s made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.

This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.

Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.

I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).

I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it’s kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot…

Interesting; I’ll definitely have to keep that in mind. Much cheaper than getting basically a whole new set of hdds at almost $30/tb (new nas-grade drives, not referbs).

Thanks!

What hardware are you using to read/write tape, and what does that cost you?

I’ve got around 30tb that I need to shift off of a Drobo at some point so I can repurpose the drives into a proper RAID setup that isn’t a closed source black-box from a dead company (that was a poor choice, 6 years ago 🙁). Keeping an eye out for solutions for when I get around to fixing that mess.
