In the early days of the pandemic…and the early days of my Ansible learning…I set up a playbook to scrape several websites for hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes.

If it found one in stock, it would email my cell phone carriers SMS gateway. Tasker would then make a loud audible alert.

Ran for weeks before it found some in stock. And then it did. At 2am. And again at 2:05, and 2:10, and 2:15…

And it was an error on the shops webpage. It wasn’t actually orderable…once it got in your cart, it wouldn’t let you check out.

I have a brother inkjet (AIO but I only ever really use the printer now) and a Samsung monochrome laser.

They both work tremendously well with Linux. Honestly printers are easier in Linux now than they are in Windows.

I’m 38, wife is 33. We both dreaded entering our 30s but we both agree it’s the best decade (so far).

This is one reason why I’d rather get delivery from DD/GH/UE instead of calling for delivery (if it’s even offered)…I don’t want to give my credit card over the phone.

I’d much rather do it through an established app/storefront (I.e. Square or Toast).

That, and anxiety. I really don’t want to talk about my pizza. Much rather press a button.

They have their place but I totally get you.

For example, when I’m planning a big home project, I want to watch a lot of DIY channels (plug for Home Renovision here) on the basic procedure.

But, if I’m repairing my dryer, I don’t want to be unlocking my screen, rotating, hitting play, watch a few seconds, pause, put it down, work, repeat. Just give me something I can print out ffs.

“I don’t need to document why I did it this way because it’s painfully obvious”

—Past me.

Honesty just make /home a different partition.

Has saved me so much trouble in changing distros on my laptop.

I’ve settled pretty well on Fedora at this point but that’ll probably change at some point (mostly because I don’t like Ubuntu much and I work in a mostly RHEL shop)

Kids in America usually enter a grade at age (grade + 5). Depends on when their birthday lands in some areas. For example, my kid was born in early September and the cutoff is Sept 1. His Kindergarten (grade 0) didn’t actually start until his birthday, so he entered at age 6.

Gah it’s all docker container ps -a. OK, fine, history | grep "docker run".

Next time I’ll put a file in the project directory that tells me how I ran it and .gitignore it. I promise. Next time.

WebMD said I had cancer because my feet touch the ground when I’m standing and I go blind when I close my eyes.

I mean to say the maximum amount of communities a user can moderate.

Give a low limit to start, then gradually increase the number of communities that a user can mod.

If I understand things correctly (as I and so many others here are new to lemmy), this all comes down to the discretion of the instance admin anyway. I think we’re all just contemplating “default” rules.

Easily enough fixed.

Initial mod limit of 3. Can mod an additional community 30 days after added to the mod roster for another, upto a hard cap. Maybe the delay increases exponentially.

Angry Videogame Nerd.

I’m glad that their are contemporary historians and archivists perusing YouTube so my great-great-great-great grandchildren can watch a video game review in which a grown man gets shit on by Bugs Bunny.

This is really seeming to look like “dev team was unclear that they didn’t want politics on their server. They removed comments critical of Russia. Group of people ran with this as evidence they are pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine. dev team tried to clarify their policies but it’s too late and the PR Shitstorm already happened”.

Tough spot to be in as a “startup” FOSS platform but could totally infer that’s how it is playing out.

Excep .ml isn’t the TLD for Malaysia… .my is. .ml is Mali.

And TLDs have little to do with where stuff is hosted. .it is Italy and .ai is Anguilla, but not always by Italian or Anguillan companies.

Held hostage by their visa

Wel, yeah, you can’t be a Conservative Mascot without exploiting immigrant labor. This is just the 21st century adaptation…H-1B edition.
