Lemmy.ml has some pretty active communities on it. Might be worth it for OP to look over their most active communities and see if any interest them. If so, you have the option of blocking communities instead of the whole instance.

Lemmygrad and hexbear pretty much stick to their sociopolitical beliefs. If that’s not your bag, then no real loss in blocking those instances.

Not a redundancy option, but I also had my routing setup go in to a bad state while traveling which was a hassle.

I solved this by setting up nightly reboots while away. Both my routing PC and modem are rebooted by smart switches (zwave/ZigBee) controlled by home assistant. Which means they’ll operate without a working network. The routing PC is set to shutdown one minute before the smart switch turns off, and set to boot automatically when power is restored (smart switch turns back on). Which avoids any issues with hanging on a reboot.

Yeah, I’m an elder millennial and while I got the reference, it is before my time.

I’ve got an OpenBSD based router with ~4 hours of battery backup. If I ever stopped futzing around with it, the uptime would be fairly close to when the last version update was. (They’ve got a release cadence of about 6 months).

I like 95-00. That’s also the period in time in which I liked Windows, so there’s certainly a correlation there.

This made me wonder, since the TV series came out a long time ago. Generation X ended ~1980. The original Dragon Ball series started in 1986. So there are Gen X that were kids (not that you have to be a kid to watch it, but that’s the most likely audience) when it aired.

Just musing over that particular thing. I feel it’s safe to say it’s generally outside of Gen X culture.

Phone, wallet. Keys if I need to drive. YubiKey if it makes sense.

No specific negative association. I can’t say for certain, as it’s too long ago to remember. But I think at one point when I was young i felt more lukewarm about the song, but it was overplayed which soured me.

Tangentially related: anyone else have a strong dislike of “Dancing Queen?” That song has annoyed me for as long as I can remember.

Just that song, not Abba as a whole.

I hope they pull through. Not because of any loyalty. I’ll buy whatever is providing the best value for performance at the time. But I don’t want to see a monopoly in the x86 market.

74 miles/119km.

I don’t consider that specific place home. While it’s not particularly far, I have no memories of it and it is different culturally. The state in general though I do consider home.

The 3b just has USB 2, so even with slow spinning rust, that’s going to be a bottleneck. But it’s probably still plenty fast as a remote storage device for media storage.

Edit: said I didn’t know OP’s use case but in re-reading they did say. Edited accordingly.

Kind of reminds me of Goblin Valley. I don’t think it is. Too green and rocks are the wrong color. But first thing that came to mind.

Might exist, or maybe there’s some API that I can utilize in which case I could script it. I’ve done a very cursory search but nothing stood out.

I would love something that would grab x most popular songs from an artist/genre/year range that I have in my music library and create a playlist file. For if I’m just feeling like some “greatest hits” style music. And I don’t want an LLM involved.

I share a good number of these. I don’t like tomato, olives, or anything fishy tasting. I do like anise flavored things such as black licorice.

The remaining stuff our tastes differ on.

I am but a single humble meatbag that enjoys games and can’t speak for all gamers, but I generally dislike the typical “gaming rig” aesthetic. I don’t want RGB lights. I don’t like ostentatious looking cases or accessories. I do find it tasteless, to reuse your term.

No sleight on those that do though. If that’s your style, then enjoy it!

I love Linux. I read this rant. I still love Linux.

Thanks for the tip!

Edit: I typed out two sets of the same numbers, one in a row, intonating one after the other, and the others in a column in an attempt to impart the idea of all at once.

My Lemmy client put both on single lines, which is confusing. So I removed the original comment.
