Who could have possibly seen this coming…

Connecdicut or Connecticud?

That’s very subjective.

Both platforms have the option for mods to tell you exactly what you did wrong; and on both, sometimes they utilize that option sometimes they don’t.

It’s entirely up to the individual mods in each specific community.

Lemmy does generally tend to be a bit more open; just because it’s a growing platform looking to expand its userbase, so the mods make a bit more of an effort to create peace/understanding vs just ban hammering any problems into oblivion.

Reddits grown big enough that it can throw its weight around a bit carelessly and have less worry of the userbase collapsing.

That wasn’t the claim at the time.

That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.

That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.

Thanks again!

Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

Random af…

So reporters with Russian state media happened across this guy and commented on his old Soviet bike. The guy mentions he’s struggling to get parts because of the war, and Putin himself gifts him a new bike??

Yeah, your home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.

It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.

Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

I’m rather surprised by the disproportionate voting as well. I was just playing devils advocate tbh.

For the record, I’ve not voted either way on anything in this thread. I will say, you seem to be taking this far more seriously than perhaps you should. This isn’t the war room; it’s a throwaway convo with strangers about hypotheticals…

Are you suggesting someone starts WW3 by shooting Putin down? Because that’s what would happen.

Would it though? If you cut the head off the snake, will (can?) the body keep following its orders?

It’d definitely be chaos and there’s a good chance there would be some war. But I’m not so sure how much of that would be retaliation against the US vs an in-fighting power grab within Russia.

I got really stuck into the Artemis Foul books as a teen. I always thought they’d make a great TV series.

DNS-01 is in the pipeline at least, so hopefully we’ll see that bring wildcard certs along with it.

It’s nice to see this being integrated into nginx. I’ve been using ACME.sh for around a decade instead. It just triggers through a script on a crontab schedule grabbing a new cert via DNS-01 if necessary, then refreshing nginx to recognize the new file.

‘Ignorance is bliss’…

Medical science is insane sometimes

A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.

Give a stoner a bag of weed and nothing to smoke out of and suddenly you’ll have an engineer.

Yeah, thermodynamics are a thing. I’m not trying to claim some free energy system saying you could power the whole data center; but if you could re-capture some of the waste heat and convert it back into electricity, putting that energy to work instead of just venting to atmosphere, it could potentially help offset some of the raw electrical needs. An efficiency improvement, that’s all.

Collect and condense the hot water vapor, concentrate the heat until you’ve got steam; then pump it through a steam turbine recapturing that energy as electricity.

I’m sure there’s some difficulties and nuances I’m not seeing right away, but it would be nice to see some sort of system like this. Most power plants generate heat, then turn that into electricity. Data centers take electricity and turn it back into heat. There’s gotta be a way to combine the two concepts.
