No. Most large Reddit communities are toxic, both on the user and mod end. Let Lemmy grow at its own pace without repeating the same mistakes Reddit made.

If you frequently work on remote systems you frequently only get command line access, where you can still use vim/nano/emacs but not a full IDE like VS Code. In that case you might find it more convenient to learn one text editor well and forgo the IDE.

your not eating for enjoyment, your eating to fuel your body.

This is the number one cause why diets get abandoned and people gain weight again. Adding a little enjoyment to the diet goes a long way towards long term compliance.

The rationale for using LTS distros is being eroded by widespread adoption of containers and approaches like flatpak and nix. Applications and services are becoming less dependent on any single distro and instead just require a skeleton core system that is easier to keep up to date. Coupled with the increased cost needed to maintain security backports we are getting to a point where it's less risky for companies to use bleeding edge over stable.

There cybersecurity part would be covered by infosec.pub. Devops and similar communities are more fragmented however.

For me what made a huge difference was adding acid, specially for stews. A hearty splash of vinegar or soy sauce while stewing, or even a dash of lime just before serving takes it from "meh" to "seconds please!".

There's a long list of caveats when running VS Code over SSH. By comparison, text editors:

  • Work on Alpine remotes
  • Work on older distributions, and other *NIX systems
  • Have no problems with SSH key passphrases or security keys
  • Only require a few MB of memory
  • When run in tmux are largely resilient to SSH connection issues

Looks like an old one too, based on the ashtrays in the armrests and the "stereo" headphone plugs.

That is literally called The Gallop!

Rubber. I went in knowing it was a WTF film, but had NO idea how far out it was. It made Sharknado make sense by comparison.

I think the foreach one should have been recursion.

The alternative would be a non-standard diaper app that, rather than hiding the incoming call, would pick it up and drop it. I don’t know if such software exists.

I assume you meant dialer app 😆 . But anyway, for some Android phones you can use call screening.

SO: asks a yes/no question

Me: elaborates first for 5 minutes, forgets to say yes or no

What REALLY irks me is that the gboard keyboard on Android is context-sensitive. No, I don't want to have a shortcut for ".com" when long-pressing the period key while typing an address, I want to type a fscking dash!

I've had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I'd rather go out on my own terms.

Plus, any kind of money making scheme I'd think of is likely going to end up like the "aim for the bushes" scene in The Other Guys.

The RV260 supports SNMP. You can use that with a network monitoring tool of your choice to get ifInOctets/ifOutOctets data. The rate of change on those numbers is then the amount of traffic sent/received.

GOG for offline games, Steam games that are online multiplayer or can benefit from cloud saves.

My favorite example is this one, because it's a faithful translation of the meaning of the song while substituting words to keep the rhymes.

Donwside to 2: Your VM becomes harder to move between hardware, you lose snapshotting capabilities from a copy-on-write image.

5 is flexible, but has limitations. For example you wouldn't want to run databases on NFS volumes.

If initialization time is the only problem with 4, you could create several smaller images on the disk. Create the first one, initialize the VM and set up an LVM volume on it, then start creating more volumes and extend the LVM volume.

Right?!! Consider this - if you replace the scroll wheel with two buttons, which one would you press to scroll down?

Time to piss off both camps an start calling it f5x.

Both are concerning, but as a former academic to me neither of them are as insidious as the harm that LLMs are already doing to training data. A lot of corpora depend on collecting public online data to construct data sets for research, and the assumption is that it's largely human-generated. This balance is about to shift, and it's going to cause significant damage to future research. Even if everyone agreed to make a change right now, the well is already poisoned. We're talking the equivalent of the burning of Alexandria for linguistics research.

Seconding this. Hachyderm documented their performance scaling and financing journey quite extensively, and I'm sure many of their decisions could be applicable to Beehaw as well.
