I need more coffee... I had to look up the definition of urethral in order to get it out of my head that you weren't talking about Urithiru. I was all ready to xpost to !cosmere@lemmy.ml.

+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.

self-promotion caveat: I'm building my sudoku game to be offline and fully accessible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.cyberpuffin.sudoku

The only thing that might constitute an "ad" is a button on the main menu that leads to a promotion page for my print-on-demand book.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.

If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.

It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

In for a penny....

The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.

Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won't require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.

People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don't know themselves. It's up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.

Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.

Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.

Maybe they're grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options... Just maintain SSH access with keys.

The options are a strength.

Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I'll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.

Different date format: day / month / year; as opposed to the US standard: month / day / year.

Thanks to the successful smear campaign executed by the corporate lawyers.

I don't use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I'm coding.

• edit: yeah, that update thing @MJBrune@beehaw.org mentions too 😀

Some more context: Godot established the "Godot Development Fund" to accept donations directly (https://lemmy.ml/post/4815592).

Geez, quite a contrast from the Unity fee announcement (https://lemmy.world/post/4931345)

That's awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn't seem to speed up.

Pssh, Real techs use uuencode through the terminal to copy files.

I joke, but I've resorted to it when I only had a web based console.

I've only really used it for net boot (https://netboot.xyz/) myself. Maybe OOB back in the day with some iLo shenanigans, but otherwise I stick with rsync.

It's the logo for the nearby eyeglasses repair shop!

I bought a Toto HW300-W "Portable Travel Washlet" off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1G4LQ) back in 2018 and it still runs like a champ. The text is all in Japanese, but easy enough to figure out (or Google Lens it if you really want to know).

* Edit: I should note that I paid about half of the current list price :-O

American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I'm hooked.

It has certainly led to.... "Interesting" responses from house guests. There's always TP in stock, so it's not required. Butt I'm never going back if I can help it.

Fair opinion. I prefaced the post with "whining" because it's mild complaint from one fan. I'm not sure how I would have felt with just Michael Kramer or Kate Reading doing 100% of the narration. I do truly enjoy the different voices for the different perspectives. It just really threw me to hear Hoid in Kate's voice.

You make valid points, however, I'd like to point out that most games on the play store don't cost a lot because the real costly transactions are in-app purchases. It's common, in my experience, for the popular free apps to have IAPs upwards of $100 for in-game currency.

There's also that matter of the no-cost version of the app. It seems perfectly usable, making the ad-removal an optional purchase.

Considering the smaller user-base and the finite economic value of life-time purchases I'd say $20 is fair. But that's my stated opinion and I have yet to put my money where my mouth is.

Kelvin starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Celsius scale.

Rankine starts at absolute zero and proceeds on the Fahrenheit scale.

And where does poor Rankine sit?

Another +1 for Joplin. Been using it for a while now. The web clipper is very handy too.

Sync FTW

I was going to go with Shit creek.

Gah! You're right, my bad.

I'd be inclined to agree.... But I've had conversations like these, if not publicly.

This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you've ever had to trace cable in a rat's nest of a server closet.

These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.

oh? When I run lsblk all of the docker overlay mounts are omitted. It does show loop devices, but otherwise it was the list of physical devices.

Looking at the man page it looks like df lets you exclude types too: df -h -x tmpfs -x overlay.

Same. I end up either grep -v -e tmps and loop mounts or mount -t for each type of physical mount. I suppose lsblk and findmnt might have better options and views.

I still use windirstat because I hadn't heard of WizTree. How doe Winget compare to chocolatey (https://community.chocolatey.org/)?

* edit: Found a few articles that compare winget to chocolatey (1: Make use of, 2: techcybersec).

tl;dr: They're both really good, but chocolatey is established with a lot more packages and better community support.

One does not preclude the other. That was his ghostbloods keychain. He got it for his 10 year espionage-iversary.

It's a new world, but it is in the cosmere. Hoid and Pattern are there.

The only non-cosmere novel from the secret projects is #2: The Frugal Wizard's Guide to Surviving Medieval England.

Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT2UH74ksJ4

It took about a dozen times of burning my pale shaven head to finally succumb. I wish I had started sooner. I have two presently, one with a fold-away cape (like in the picture) to cover the neck and shoulders, and one with a zip-away mosquito net that covers my whole head.

One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble.

Another really good write-up about why the Meta fediverse integration is dangerous: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

A million dollars in bitcoin, I'd walk away with a cool $100 after selling it all.

In truth, being in a central Florida town at 7 in the morning, I'd go on a shopping spree at some of the bigger box stores and stock up on electronics and building supplies, before I blew the rest on tools.

Absolutely agree that hiding knowledge behind a paywall is crappy. I hit that issue so many times with Red Hat that I standardized on debian variants.

Searching, while a function of any modern forum, is easily bypassed with a modern search engine / crawler. Unless the forum admin takes the unlikely step of disabling web crawlers on their site, you can pass the site:<website> filter into your search. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=subtitles+site%3Aforum.jellyfin.org&ia=web shows forum posts regarding subtitles.

There is a page, albeit buried, dedicated to "why?": https://fedipact.online/why

I don't know that it's much of a punishment for adopting open standards. The open standard is there to be used, the engineering work crowdsourced for the benefit of all. Meta gets the used of the standard and access to a not-insignificant portion of the federated services that don't bother blocking them.

It will likely be one of the columns when the inevitable Lemmy Instance comparison charts are created: registration type, country, bans illegal content, blacklists meta services, etc ...

👍 for Joplin. It's nice to configure it with WebDAV directly with Nextcloud for replication and sync.
