In for a penny…

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

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 😀

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.

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?

I was going to go with Shit creek.

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.

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.

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 …
