Pretty sure any black hole we create would evaporate from hawking radiation before it could be used for anything outside of research.

- Comment on It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required 2 weeks ago:
From my perspective, the people who are participating in this community aren’t even lemm.ee members, but they are by their nature putting an undue moderation load onto the lemm.ee instance. If they absolutely want to have their own echo chamber, then they can create it on their home instance instead of taking advantage of the looser rules here.
Again, from my perspective, even if they aren’t technically violating any rules now, it’s just a matter of time before they start to push the boundaries. I expect this will happen sooner if a large number of users block the community, thus drastically reducing the number of people who are likely to report malicious activity who are also reading the content.
I would rather have them take their content back to thelemmy.club, lemmy.today, lemmy.lol, or lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org than continue to have it hosted here.
- Comment on It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required 2 weeks ago:
The problem with this idea is that lemm.ee does not have strong moderation and content rules, and that is the exact sort of environment that extremism worms its way into and takes advantage of. I don’t expect the admin team to have the time to police the community with a fine enough comb to catch all of the bad content, and I don’t trust the moderators of any self-titled conservative community to do that job properly.
These communities are ultimately more trouble than they’re worth, and as such I would prefer to see them shunted away from the major servers. Let them build their own hexbear, lemmygrad, or ml. But I don’t think that their regressivism and bigotry have any place here.

I went with a Box Note Air 3C, and it’s great. I hear the new model is basically the same but faster.

I’m quite glad that I never bought fully into Kindle/Nook/Kobo and instead went with an eInk Android tablet.

- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 4 months ago:
It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.
The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 4 months ago:
I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.

- Comment on "Fry" is an ambiguous word in English 7 months ago:
“cook well in a cold oven” at least makes sense in the context of the time. Ovens then were not supplied continuous heat - instead, they were fired up to a high heat, and then as it slowly cooled food was baked in them according to the current temperature. A cold or slow oven would be at the low end, and a hot or quick oven would be shortly after it was first heated.

Per the article, this looks to be limited to mobile internet and not traditional broadband. While I can understand the practicality of carving out unique bands of the wireless spectrum for specific uses, charging extra for it seems scummy.
