  Might wanna read the sidebar on lemm.ee
  It contains both the instance rules and a donation link.
  You might need to use a browser if you’re using an application that doesn’t implement or render the sidebar.

  Yea, we’re going for the combo.
  I should have said “one of” our generation’s asbestos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Supermaterial: As Strong As Steel And As Light As Styrofoam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is probably our generation’s asbestos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having to manage cables is a very 80s thing that we still have to do in 2025.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Older cable management was fucking elegant.
  You can’t convince me that cable lacing isn’t fucking fabulous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear not showing up in all for me anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the instance you’re on isn’t on their allow list.
  Although it might have been at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hexbear not showing up in all for me anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you’re on their allow list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea for sure.
  I was mostly thinking about if you already need a replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but if you’re gonna replace a pan anyway, it’d still make sense to buy something else than Teflon because they’re usually manufactured irresponsibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Enameled cast iron is like magic.
  Worst case I let it soak for a bit and it comes out clean with just a brush in a minute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use an adapter just fine.
  Or use a 5.5" drive caddy, that’s just a little drawer that slides in and out.
  Real question is it you have enough SATA connectors available.

  That’s a nice typo that also fits some people from what I’ve heard.

  The goal is to crash the market, but stocks in solar for dirt cheap then reverse tariffs, rinse and repeat.

  No need to ban words or books when people don’t even know how to read or have the reading comprehension of a dead possum.

  There would probably be a few less wars too.

  Huh, Fancy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My post isn't posting, is a bot acting up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird one.
  It seems fine, it’s neither removed nor deleted, but it indeed doesn’t show in the community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Like I said, it’s likely a harassment campaign against whoever’s picture this is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You gotta realize the person in the picture and the person doing the spamming is very unlikely to be the same person.

  It’s either a pig butchering catfish scam, a harassment campaign, or a pain troll.

  An LLM is like taking to a rubber duck on drugs while also being on drugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kinda lemmy lore I guess.
  Beans was a wave of shitposts from about 16 months ago where poeple kept posting a bunch of beans in various forms and the whole feed was mostly beans.

  You’ll also stumble upon the “3 days no poop” thing where someone asked a question in asklemmy I think about how to avoid shitting for 3 days.
  I think they later deleted their account, but they were very mysterious about why and people genuinely came with ideas for them and it snowballed into its own thing.

  Unrelated, but similar to the poop knife, if only in the inside joke / lore kinda thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk 'Pressured' Reddit CEO to Silence DOGE Critics, Leaving Moderators Outraged: Report.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Grab some beans, make yourself at home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else getting Nicoled a lot lately?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep.
  Sorry about that.
  We’ve been banning them but it’s hard to determine whether a 10 day old account with no other activity will suddenly start sending PMs tomorrow.

  I doubt anyone would go through the effort of typing the spammed URLs from a picture… but just in case: Don’t
  They’re also probably harassing whoever’s pictures those really belong to, so donpt associate the person in the pictures with the actual spammer too much…

  I’ve banned another one this morning, a 10 day old account that started spamming a few hours before.
  Banning all lurkers doesn’t make sense and current lemmy tools are… lacking… to put it lightly.

  I’ve been working on and off on different ways to address this, ideally without also poring through everyone’s PMs all the time.
  Lemmy PMs are NOT private, nothing not End to end encrypted is. Still, I’d rather not go through everyone’s messages to spot those.
  I won’t go into too much details because they’re likely to be reading this and other threads discussing methods to get rid of them.

  My next step is something that needs admin access to the database, as opposed to something through the API, which makes it less convenient to setup through the bot, just a few extra steps.

  FYI, we’re also currently locally removing all PMs from banned accounts, something that’s only been added to lemmy in 0.19.10, but we do have a workaround in place for that until we upgrade again.

  In the meantime, reporting also works, even though I’d rather nip it in the bud a bit more.

  Peace

  Well yes, media was one of the first pillars of democracy to be captured.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disposing of failed HDDs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Warrantied drives still fail, they just happen to ship you a replacement.

  Commercial drive trashing solutions are basically a smaller, fancier version of the mechanism in a log splitter.
  You could probably rig a sketchy drive wedge/bending thing with a pump jack rather easily.
  Wear PPE.

  The odds of someone taking a failed drive and transplanting the platters to a working drive is pretty low to begin with.

  Me? I don’t have tons of drives to destroy, so I just unscrew the thing, get the platters out and smash those.
