My seedbox accepts crypto payments through Coinbase. Coinbase recently started requiring personal info when paying.

Anecdotal, but I was about to order a heating element for mine and decided to pull the unit out and test the resistance with a multimeter. It tested good, so I thought oh well, maybe time to upgrade the dishwasher with a new one. I also messed around with the little round switch thing in line with the heating wires. I think it’s some sort of thermostat or overheating protection. Just by fiddling around with the wires and stuff, it magically started working again.

There’s no timestamp for when things go missing, though.

There’s a word for that: noncomedogenic. That means it doesn’t clog pores.

Face moisturizers try to be noncomedogenic. Other types of moisturizers don’t care as much.

Skin care isn’t a sham. Skin care is like anything else. Everyone is different. You have to find whatever works. For some people it’s very simple, and other people will find themselves going down a rabbit hole trying to improve their skin.

A lemmy instance, a wiki, and a couple of other website type things, yes.

Publicly facing things are pretty limited, but it’s still super handy inside the LAN with Adguard Home doing DNS rewrites to point it to the reverse proxy.

I appreciate what you’re saying, though. A lot of people get in trouble by having things like Radarr etc. open to the internet through their reverse proxy.

Wrapping my head around reverse proxy was a game changer for me. I could finally host things that are usefull outside my LAN. I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager which makes the config simple for lazy’s like me.

They’re higher capacity, but more importantly they aren’t affected as much by frigid temps.

Don’t click that link. I mean it.

It sounds like we agree, but I’m much less lawerly due to my lack of experience in that field.

Wow. W Bush was president (or Obama depending on month).

Edit: yep, W. Bush. Oct 6th 2008, so Obama hadn’t even been elected yet.

The creator of Lemmy is just one example. They remove a lot of content that isn’t hateful, just against their political ideology. I used that as an example of a private social media website which does a lot of censoring, even though the creators are sort of, somehow, outwardly against censoring? So everyone is human is my point.

The article in question is about hate speech, not political dissent. Hate speech is pretty widely moderated away on Lemmy, and I think a majority of people here are cool with that. Some here are arguing semantics which is fair. Censoring is censoring which is the definition of censoring. I’m in the camp that if someone online is threatening another person or group of people, that should be hidden/removed.

There’s a big difference between utterly insane tankie takes and hateful content.

Ouch. I just got an air fryer and was surprised to see how the heating element is just sorta tucked up right there waiting for someone to reach in at the wrong angle.

Did you touch the heating element or part of the basket?

Are you saying it should be required by law to have a comment regarding removal of content?

That’s the problem with the internet, really. You can’t punch these a-holes through your monitor or keyboard. The consequence here is moderation instead of physical violence. Removing these people from their platform is the punch in the nuts that they deserve. It’s still free speech because these are non-government websites.

Edit to make it less mean sounding.

I’m glad you asked because I’ve sort of been meaning to look into that.

I have 4 8TB drives that have ~64,000 hours (7.3 years) powered on.
I have 2 10TB drives that have ~51,000 hours (5.8 years) powered on.
I have 2 8TB drives that have ~16,800 hours (1.9 years) powered on.

Those 8 drives make up my ZFS pool. Eventually I want to ditch them all and create a new pool with fewer drives. I’m finding that 45TB is overkill, even when storing lots of media. The most data I’ve had is 20TB and it was a bit overwhelming to keep track of it all, even with the *arrs doing the work.

To rebuild it with 4 x 16TB drives, I’d have half as many drives, reducing power consumption. It’d cost about $1300. With double parity I’d have 27TB usable. That’s the downside to larger drives, having double parity costs more.

To rebuild it with 2 x 24TB drives, I’d have 1/4 as many drives, reducing power consumption even more. It’d cost about $960. I would only have single parity with that setup, and only 21TB usable.

Increasing to 3 x 24TB drives, the cost goes to $1437 with the only benefit being double parity. Increasing to 4*24TB gives double parity, 41TB, and costs almost $2k. That would be overkill.

Eventually I’ll have to decide which road to go down. I think I’d be comfortable with single parity, so 2 very large drives might be might be my next move, since my price per kWh is really high, around $.33.

Edit: one last option, and a really good one, is to keep the 10TB drives, ditch all of the 8TB drives, and add 2 more 10TB drives. That would only cost $400 and leave me with 4 x 10TB drives. Double parity would give me 17TB. I’ll have to keep an eye on things to make sure it doesn’t get full of junk, but I have a pretty good handle on that sort of thing now.

Lemmy was created because Desaulines(sp?) got “censored” on reddit. Now he famously over-censors his darling instance lemmy.ml.

My point is just that nobody really thinks it should be a free for all. Everyone is human and doesn’t want to hear anything that they consider egregious, or in the case of lemmy.ml “against rule 2”.

The movie is not at all accurate, but it was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it’d be.

This has some limitations if I remember correctly. It doesn’t use PostgreSQL, and I don’t think you can use Collabora or whatever, so editing documents in your browser won’t work.

It’s quite possible that I’m wrong about that.

Sooooo dull. I’m due to do the same.
