  • This isn't an extrovert behaviour, it's a rude behaviour. They aren't linked.

  • I like to go during Advance voting so that I can stop thinking about it, and if I forget to do it early I still have a few days leeway.

  • My eyes. Everything I've seen of AI detectors does not Inspire confidence in me. I don't feel like I can trust their results due to the inevitability of incorrect guesses, so I don't bother using them.

  • Aren't there similar websites like 8chan that serve the same purpose? I may be out of the loop but won't they migrate there?

  • I have all my apps running in Docker under Jailmaker and I don't intend on moving to TrueNAS apps unless I am forced to. Currently I could move this entire setup to any machine I want, set up my jail mount points, launch up Dockge and I'd be up and running (with the same static IP at that!). If I moved to TrueNAS apps I think the transition and handling of mount points would probably be painful. If they remove jailmaker support in 25.xx like I've heard I'll look into Incus or other solutions before using their apps.

  • I haven't played Genshin in a couple of years but it's definitely one of the better ones from what I've seen. I played through f2p until I had a sense of the game and was confident in the content and monetization model. After that I did spend whatever it was, five bucks(?), for the "battle pass" but honestly as long as you have the time to grind then Genshin is fairly non-invasive. That grind is why I quit though, the end game was a slog.

  • I did this recently and have not noticed any problems. Nor have I noticed benefits either, to be fair...

  • What do you mean what happened? Prices in my area dropped 20Ā¢ overnight the day it went out of effect. They have yet to go back up (although I fully expect them to).

  • Gotcha. I understand now re-reading your post, that's a valid way of phrasing it.

  • a NAS/raid is NOT BACKUP

    To emphasise your point, I recently had a scare with corruption in my ZFS pool causing me to have to transfer all my data off and start the pool fresh. I've since begun viewing any RAID pool as a single drive, which helps see the situation more accurately. Instead of thinking "I have 6 drives with 2 parity, I can withstand 2 failures!" think "I have one pool, I can withstand 1 failure." Because the moment anything about that pool breaks you are shit outta luck. Prevention against single drive failures is only one part of the puzzle.

  • zfs z2, this layout is basically requires 3 drives to die in order to lose data)

    RAIDZ2 has 2 parity disks and thus can only withstand 2 drive failures, no?

  • You trade me some of your friends and I'll give you some of my alone time, dealio?

  • Mouse sensitivity. Every game it's just ESC spam until I can get an options menu. Shoutout to the games with a 5m gameplay intro before you can access options. Super double special shoutout to games with 5m of very loud unskippable cutscenes before you can change audio settings.

  • Not sure if he's up your alley, but I enjoy Ryu (ryukahr) for this. I find his content cozy. I only watch his Mario channel but he has another channel with full play throughs of other games, mostly retro.

  • I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

  • With just a single account on any most Lemmy server(s) you can read and write everything most things everywhere else.

    Click on the "all" button and you'll see content from all some subreddits on all some servers.

    I know I am nit-picking, but this over-selling of federation as if it "just works" and takes no manual effort almost drove me away when I first joined. It did and still does drive me away from Mastodon, but Lemmy is not as problematic.

    At any rate, I know we don't want to overload new users with talks of defederation and unfederated content, but pretending it doesn't exist makes for a very frustrating time the first time someone realises they can't see 50% of the posts or thinks Lemmy as a whole is really quiet when it's because their server isn't federated 100% with every other server.

  • Paywall article 🤮

  • Came here to say something similar because it's important to recognise that this likely is not out of the kindness of their hearts. But I don't think there's any reason to talk down potential allies either.

  • I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you're using doesn't support it?

    The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on unjustified U.S. tariffs against Canada:

    ā€œToday, after a 30-day pause, the United States administration has decided to proceed with imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian exports and 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian energy. Let me be unequivocally clear – there is no justification for these actions.

    ā€œWhile less than 1 per cent of the fentanyl intercepted at the U.S. border comes from Canada, we have worked relentlessly to address this scourge that affects Canadians and Americans alike. We implemented a $1.3 billion border plan with new choppers, boots on the ground, more co-ordination, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. We appointed a Fentanyl Czar, listed transnational criminal cartels as terrorist organizations, launched the Joint Operational Intelligence Cell, and are establishing a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force on organized crime. Because of this work – in partnership with the U

    Ford doubles down on threat to cut off energy to U.S. amid spectre of trade war

    "If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do anything, including cutting off their energy — with a smile on my face,"

    "They need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard? We've got to go back twice as hard," Ford continued.

    Ford added his government is also prepared to implement a surcharge on every megawatt of energy states purchase from Ontario and "rip up" a $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink internet company. The LCBO has already been directed to remove all American booze from its shelves if Trump moves ahead with his threats.

    How do I reply to a Mastodon post with my account from another instance.

    Okay this feels like such a basic and dumb question but I cannot figure it out. I followed a link to a Mastodon post and saw a reply I wanted to make my own reply to. No problem, I figured I have a CherryPick account which federates with Mastodon so this should be a breeze. The problem is that post IDs are obviously different across instances so I can't simply modify the URL to find the post and it hasn't synced with my instance so I can't use search to find it either. Obviously I can't login to the Mastodon instance with my account either, sadly, as much as I would love that. So I manually looked up the user and found them on my instance, but despite showing more recent posts I can't find the one I want to reply to! The post they replied to is available on my instance, their account is available, why the heck is this one reply just not available! What do I do here, just give up?

    What passing out speeding in a culdesac does to a house

    Description from original poster:

    Happened a year ago so we’re almost finished with construction.

    My car was parked on the right side on the break in the concrete. He was going 45-50 mph and pushed it over 5-10ft of concrete, through a windstorm certified garage door, and into a filled garage.

    If my car hadn’t been there he would’ve driven right into one of the front bedrooms.

    Had the pictures pop up in my memories and decided to share the crazy experience!

    Is there a Google Timeline alternative with feature parity?

    I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it's exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I'm basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can't really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have thought there would be lots available. Are there any good alternatives out there?

    The closest I found was Owntracks, but it doesn't work for me for a couple of reasons. Primarily, it doesn't tell me the places I've been, only the latitude/longitude. That isn't helpful. I want to know I was at X or Y convenience store and when my last visit was. Secondly of course, the interface was extremely lacking and I didn't like that it was split across two websites and an app. Why even have a map in the Android app if it doesn't show my location data??

    Is there any real benefit to getting mentally diagnosed?

    Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn't say if it's depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy?

    My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)

    Fuck this car in particular.

    According to the home owner:

    We live on a 90* corner intersection with a major street and this guy flew around it at probably 40-50mph. Hit my neighbors car so hard it ended up in their yard facing the other way. Both cars totaled, driver ran off on foot. 11 AM on a Sunday morning.

    And the aftermath:
