There are two types of BBQ: KC and wrong.

If it wasn’t for lossless music, and storing about 75 gigs of drone footage on my phone I don’t use a lot of my storage typically. The 256 default is enough for me. But since I imported this phone I just said fuck it and went for the 1TB model and I’m sure as hell gonna use that storage. Apps bloating to use a shit ton of storage? Fuck it I don’t care.

Also I’ve always hated having the two tier storage for my phone. When 64 gig SD cards were a lot for a phone I had one and I hated it. It was only good for music, and offloading some photos. But it was always a pain getting most photo apps to recognize and treat each folder as one unified library so I’d always have half of my photos “inaccessible”. My last phone with an SD card slot was my galaxy note 3 from about the same time. After that I just started buying phones with enough built in storage.

Scaled sorting is what caused that issue. Active or hot don’t really have that issue since they’re more likely to show slightly older but highly voted things. VS scaled which will just dump all 20 posts from one person even though nobody has voted on them.

There’s a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.

The topics weren’t an issue. The issue is more with Lemmy’s sorting algorithm not being great.

I think I’ve blocked one or two people on lemmy. Only because they like to spam posts all at once and it will fill up an entire page with just their shit.

Outside of that I’ve never blocked anyone, nor do I ever really want to block anyone.

You wouldn’t happen to be from Ohio?

If you’re hosting a basic web 1.0 website you’re gonna be pretty safe. Just install Apache and call it a day. As long as there’s no exploits in apache and you only port forward for basic HTTP theres very little to go wrong. Plus realistically, whos gonna want to hack your site?

I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.

fuckwit+lemmy@gmail.com

Now if I get a spam email to that address I’ll know exactly what to block.

Self host isn’t that bad. Say you have a raspberry pi. Install linux on the pi (basically the only thing to do with it), then google how to set up a LAMP server (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Php/python). Once you’ve followed all the steps they list then now you have a web server. To get it out on the internet log into your router and port forward for HTTP and now anyone can see that glorious Apache default web page.

Then for a domain just find the first domain register and buy the domain from them. Once you own a domain point it towards your IP address (just google what is my IP) and you’re set.

Your web page is now on the internet and anyone can type a nice name to get to your page. Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.

Yeah I wana know what kind of hosts they found Jesus.

so I guess it’s not a conspiracy.

It’s not a theory* it is a conspiracy.

There’s only one windows desktop enviroment, window manager, etc. Same for Mac OS.

With Linux damn near everything can change depending on your distro of choice. There’s no one “linux” that you install. Linux is just the kernal and everything is piled on top of to make the entire OS.

Are the ECUs actually remanufactered, or did they just pull them out of a dead truck, wipe them off, and call it a day?

I know the Ranger from that era has the classic leaky caps that kills it’s ECUs. You can easily buy a $20 soldering iron from harbor freight and $5 worth of caps and fix yours if it’s the same problem.

What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?

You like your vision.

You take them most places with you so you have a much higher chance of losing them.

Like most things, the media likes to overhype things and create a moral panic so they can get their views.

A lot of things have changed in 40 years, I wouldn’t rely solely on those books.

Ex: the approach to airflow/insulation. Previously we tried to make our houses as sealed up as possible for energy savings. Well we kinda learned that fresh air is actually needed so build 90% of the house as leak proof as possible, then the last 10% is designed to let in fresh air while trying to maintain the hot/cold air temperature.

We’ve failed our children by not having any financial education in our schools, let alone good education. Sure in the rich schools you’ll get it. But not in the areas that need it the most. It’s very easy to slip into crippling debt as a middle class American.

But it’s currently too profitable to have poor education. So it’s going to stay that way unless we help out our neighbors.

Plus lead acid batteries hate being discharged at all. But deep charge cycles are really awful for them.

That said changing batteries every 18 months is a little excessive. Unless your UPS is overcharging the shit out of them they should last way longer than that.

APC makes some good stuff. It’s just all their consumer stuff is garbage.

If you can get a rack mount unit from a data center those are real nice. Just don’t try to buy them brand new.
