What does MOA stand for in this context?

I’m also making sure only to use drives whose S.M.A.R.T. can be read without removing their enclosure.

That’s a good call, which drives have you found that support this?

I follow ya, I have trouble writing these questions to thread the needle between too broad and too narrow. Too broad and understandably, I get responses correctly calling it out as you have, yet too narrow and it doesn’t produce the conversation and different responses I’m interested in seeing.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

This is intentional. When I post to this AskLemmy community I try to frame my questions to fit its description:

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

I fall back to more specific questions here when I can’t find a relevant, active community to post to (or forget to look for one).

I was meaning any kind of information wherein clarity may be valued, so political information is a valid kind to consider for sure!

While I’m aware of Contact, and know it relates to people, do you really agree with that premise? Isn’t the inconsistency in employed units of measure sufficient to indicate otherwise?

Also, tangled knots happen in space. What kind of space can time get tangled within?

Now that’s another fun question! It also makes me wonder, how would space behave in tangly time?

Would the space in which time gets tangled be primarily around extreme phenomena like black holes, or the very beginnings of the universe (or a universe, if one wants to get into multiverse angles)?

True! It is intentionally insufficiently defined to inspire and encourage imaginative replies!

But what if you witnessed your knot while a knot?

You don’t think if time bent on itself you might be able to see events from before or after happening out of sequence around you?

To clarify, by news sources I mean this in broad terms, so from wherever you may get info about what’s going on around you, or the world in general.

Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn’t enough for your tastes.

Doesn’t the Earth deserve the occasional pizzafice?

Appreciate the example! It’s when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn’t help that each router’s interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

Appreciate the thoughtful reply! I can see where you’re coming from in terms of opening TLDs up creating a bunch of issues, even though I do still enjoy the more playful ones despite that.

It’s honestly a little surprising that so many have been made available given the issues it can present, but I think that’s largely a byproduct of approaching the internet less from a rigidly structured perspective and more of a loose informal perspective.

do you think you’d be able to tell if it was instead a massive homelab run by the microorganisms in your house?

Personally, the childish side of me will always get a kick out of .wtf in a website name.

And even though this is lemmy, when I searched for “Ubuntu Help”, there’s no community named that. There’s also no community named “Linux help”. Which I find very very odd. Lemmy of all places you’d think would have a linux help community!

Have you been by !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip yet? Nevertheless, this community should work just as well.

There’s also !linux4noobs@programming.dev or a community with the same name on Lemmy World. When specificity in a search fails, falling back to broader/more basic terms may help (e.g. searching for Ubuntu or Linux).

Anywhere it’s generally okay to look/find things

I think separating them improves the user experience for regular users, which I think counts as a real advantage. As I wrote in the body text:

As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

It’s a small detail, but small details add up when it comes to the user experience.
