  Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
  No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
  First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
  Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

  With the heat from the sun hitting the dumpster too, hmm. That might actually be how they make theirs down the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without notice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Critical Dependency As A Service

  For when you need to outsource the potential crippling of your business to potentially hostile third parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSFW community bug?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s dumb. If you check that box before choosing the community, it still disappears, but it will properly show tagged as NSFW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Upgrading Paperless-ngx several revisions behind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not had good luck finding something that gives me the confidence to go about it

  Now’s a good time to make sure you have good backups.
  Knowing you can fallback to your backups helps a lot with confidence.

  IDK, maybe it was shat pants?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any Middleware that performs similar functions to Cloudflare, just... selfhosted?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One this that’s really hard to replace is DDoS protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are ghosts never racist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ghost licensing is predatory.
  It’s easier to just wait until the ghost can be published in the public domain.
  Blame Disney.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trouble Verifying Email⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve manually set it to verified.
  You should be able to login now.

  9nce logged in, you might wanna double check in your lemmy profile, just to make sure there’s no typo in there.
  As neidu3 mentionned, reaching out through matris might be faster. (Sorry, I know it’s not super convenient.)

  And… welcome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I pop a bag of popcorn on the microwave?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have a microwave, follow the instructions in the bag.

  I don’t have a glass lid

  I’ve used a dinner plate as a lid in a pinch.
  Careful it might get hot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores checkout.

  I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
  Works fine for online places that only take credit.
  You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨max upload size?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do believe it is still 5MB.
  43 MB is definitely over the upload limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can still probably get a prepaid credit card…
  You just have to pay it upfront before doing the transaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨App/service for tracking shipments and purchases?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use this one:
  play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.del…

  It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
  Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
  It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
  I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
  I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

  Works well enough for my needs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Supermaterial: As Strong As Steel And As Light As Styrofoam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.
