That’s probably your app’s UI being more confusing than it needs to.
Your account is on lemmy.world (at least the one you posted this from).
You can just open it in a browser and go to https://lemmy.world/
I find the web version less confusing than most client apps.

You can change your display name, but not the username.
Then again, you can always just make a new account and transfer your subscriptions and settings (but not your post/comment history).

Trash trash bags, hmm.

IDK, maybe, I might be one of those guys and didn’t really notice before.
I don’t believe I do this differently around women vs men.
I’m often too busy in my own head to pay much attention. So, if your body language isn’t sketchy like drunk or overly aggressive, odds are I’ve zoned out and you didn’t register much.

Anyway, I’m a generally silent walker.
If I’m not paying attention, I might end up sneaking up on someone without meaning to, which can then startle them or spook them. Like, I spook my cat often enough and they’re the actual predators.

But yea, late at night, I think I might subconsciously make myself known ahead of time just as a simple courtesy.
I’d rather not find out whether anyone’s more of a fight/flight person when they finally notice me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me? I’m the throat clearing guy. Hi. Ahem.

PS: I have 20+ years experience of throat clearing. Yes I’ve seen doctors, they didn’t find anything other than yea we can see inflammation in your vocal chords, no there’s nothing we can do, just stop doing it. That or prescribe random shit that actually fucks up other basic bodily functions and create actual problems.

Anyway, I’m sorry if it’s weird.

Now I wonder how many of you put your fingers under your nose while breathing to double check.

Fun fact, your body uses only one nostril at a time and closes the other.
It switches throughout the day and keeps nostrils moists.

yes everything you read on the Internet is true.

Your own user might have root, but the ansibke user probably isn’t.
You can enable ansible privilege escalation by adding become: true in your yaml file.

It is likely safer in the long run to set it for a specific task than globally.

Not what you asked but there are pottery shops where you can sign up for a course and make your own clay pot.

Lemmy does exponential backoff with something like this:
retry_in = min(1.25^retry_count, 24*3600)
Basically, the timer for the next retry will grow exponentially until it reaches 1 day, then it continues to retry every day.

By that time, about 5 days will have gone by going through the previous retry failures.

If will eventually give up and mark as dead but I don’t remember the threshold for that.

Speaking from experience?
That seems rough.

That was supposed to be ‘address’ as in email address, not sure how autocorrect figured that one.

Yes and no… say if you gave the email address lemmyworldthingy@sgarcnlsdomain.com when signin up and you start receiving garbage on it, you just delete the alias and move on.
The trick is that you can have several aliases go into the same inbox so you only have to check one place, but each thing is given its own IP making it easier to identify and filter culprits.

Buying your own domain.
You can then use whatever provider, or host your email service… but at least you don’t need to change addresses when switching anymore.

Fuck modern appliances.
I’m lucky enough to have bought both washer/dryer almost 20 years ago. Both of 'em for $600 at Future Shop, which now ironically only exists in the past.

I never really think about these appliances, which is the nice part that I realky love about them.
They don’t remind me they exist with beeps or phone notifications. They just do their thing.
Anyway, the washer is an old, cheap top loader, that can also periodically be used to tamp the soil beneath your foundation to make sure your house is stable. You activate that feature by bunching the bed sheets all wrong on the same side of the drum.
That’s a nice feature that’s been deprecated in newer models.
It’s an overall easy model to repair because it’s mostly just an oversized salad spinner with 2 water valves and a pump.
The dryer is like the quiet nephew that you like but never hear much about, nothing much to say really, but it works.

Anyway.
When the temperature dial on the washer broke 15 years ago, there was no way I was paying $90 to buy some complicated part that would break again.
So I just removed the knob and twisted the stranded wires to a dumb switch that you could reach by putting your finger in the knob hole as a proof of concept, left for the cold valve, right for hot. Sketchy? Sure. Warm? I don’t know? Use a bit of both, or whatever.
I never even got around to actually solder it, which is weird because I’ve soldered lots of electronics. It worked, I guess I forgot, so whatever.

Until it stopped working a few months ago, having finally shaken itself loose and I opened it up again, only then realizing I didn’t solder it way back then. Oops.
This time, I ordered a proper 3 position rotary switch, which I did solder. Left for the cold valve, right for the hot valve, and amazingly: middle for both, which is how warm water is made.
I also 3d printed a knob to fit the new switch.
Fancy right? but my last repair is still nowhere near as complicated as the original broken part was and we still only ever use the cold water setting.

Now, it turns out the reason the original part is complicated and expensive is that in normal washers, the temperature selection thingy only ever changes the washing temperature and not the rinsing temperature.
This means which valve needs to open has to change depending on where it is in the wash cycle, thus the more complicated part.

Anyway, technically, my washer now has more features than before it broke in the sense that we could theoretically now rinse with hot or warm water, which y’all plebs probably can’t. Not that we ever use anything but the cold setting, but we could and you can’t.

The dryer? It has just kept working.
Now and then we’d feed it something wrong like a bunch of loose balls from an old bearing that was sitting in a pant pocket or a set of lockpicks or whatever and I take the back panel apart to retrieve the stuff stuck in the back elbow somewhere. When that happens, I also vacuum the lint that is stuck in this quantum realm of not being caught in the lint filter, but also not expelled out, just caught in that same hungry void elbow.

Both have no music, no tunes, no beeps, no capacitive buttons that you don’t quite know if you pressed or not, no lockout, although there’s a safety switch that stops the drum from turning if you open the lid. No wifi, no app, no mold.
There’s no soap dispenser, although I do have a peristaltic pump and tubing so I could easily enough just drop that in a jug of liquid detergent and time how much to use… but… we prefer powder detergent anyway because shipping water around is just dumb when I can get the same shit in concentrated powder and add water myself, which washing machines conveniently already do.
A bucket of the stuff lasts several years too.

They’re old and all that, but these things keep on doing what they’re made for while friends have gone through 3-4 sets in the same time line.

Fuck modern appliances.

A slight variation on your second scenario is parallel construction.
I don’t know if Luigi’s the shooter or not, but if he did it, there’s a decent chance whatever is presented as evidence has absolutely nothing to do with how they actually caught the guy.

Interesting.
I’m not doing anything special that wasn’t in one of the popular tutorials and I thought that’s how it was supposed to work, although it might very well be a “bug” how it behaves right now.

I don’t know enough about this, but the drivers are blacklisted on the host at boot, yet the console is still displayed through the GPU’s HDMI at that time which might depend on the specific GPU (a vega64 in my case).

The host doesn’t have a graphical desktop environment, just the shell.

I passthrough a GPU (no iGPU on this mobo).
It only hijacks the GPU when I start the VM, for which I haven’t configured autostart.
Before the VM is started it’s showing the host prompt. It doesn’t return to the prompt if the VM is shutdown or crashed, but a reboot would, hence not autostarting that VM.
If it got borked too much, putting a temporary GPU might be easier.

Also, don’t break your ssh.
Pretty easy with PKI auth.

“eh, that’s a problem for future me”, sais previous me, the asshole.
