- Comment on If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would prove it? 4 days ago:
Was about to point this out. I’d just go to one of my IRL friends and have him send me an E-Mail/PM/whatever while i watch him do it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Well, I got that, but that’s also pretty much the only thing it mentions. What were the results? Was it better then the last generation? How will it change warfare in the future (beyond Gaza)?
I’m gonna ignore the deeply unethical application under which this mysterious and barely named new rocket was tested, since that hardly is relevant to this community and better discussed elsewhere.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Hmm, this seems more about economics and politics than technology.
Like, what exactly is the new type of Bar rocket and how does it compare to the older rockets? I see it being mentioned as a replacement for Rumach rockets, but the only details are that it’s got some unnamed “guidance mechanism specifically designed for difficult combat environments” and that it’s rapid fire (compared to some other unnamed rocket?).

By extension it’s unethical to operate any powered vehicle, and by extension it’s unethical to use any device requiring (combustible) fuel and/or electricity.
Electric planes exist, they’re just not very popular.

It would’ve been what it would’ve been…
- Comment on Can l post on Mastodon social, floss social right from here ? If yes, then how ? 3 weeks ago:
Had a hunch that might’ve been you! At least it works one way, which I suppose was what you asked about. :)
Though, would be nice if I also could see my mastadon comments on lemmy. :/
- Comment on Can l post on Mastodon social, floss social right from here ? If yes, then how ? 3 weeks ago:
I still cannot see it from lemmy, even when using a webbrowser. :/
I can see that debaashish@mastadon.social has responded to my comment made from mastadon, could you please try to respond to it too?
For clarity, the comment made by ekky@sopuli.xyz (the one you just responded to) was just in case people could not see the comment made by ekky@mastadon.social
Also, the image of my lemmy comment doesn’t seem to show on mastadon.

Hmmm, it appears that I can see you on Mastadon, but the comment I made on there doesn’t seem to federate back.
Screenshot as proof, and link to my comment: mastodon.social/@ekky/114401045155643538
- Comment on Unpowered SSD endurance investigation finds severe data loss and performance issues 4 weeks ago:
Seeing these errors means “the SSD is on its way out,” according to HTWingNut.
Since we’re simply talking about being unpowered for a while, wouldn’t a simple full format fix/reset all ECC errors? No need to scrap the drive.
Surely a cap/transistor temporarily losing charge shouldn’t permanently destroy it!
Anyways, HDD for 6-24 months offline data storage, SSD for always-online data storage, and flash if you’re a masochist like me.
- Comment on Same Same But Different 4 months ago:
Seems logical. I give at least a 5 to everything I find interesting enough to watch and complete of own volition.
If I gave it below 5, then I either watched it in a social setting or dropped it at some point.
Of course this means that my rating is skewed in favour of my tastes (duh).
- Comment on I hate when this happens 4 months ago:
Mmmmh, thunderflies.
I just LOVE when my new monitor has 5 dead bugs within half a year. Though, I don’t think I’ve ever found a hair.
- Comment on Good night, sleep tight... 5 months ago:
I somehow remember that it didn’t fit last I tried it, but playing around with the demo, it feels like it’s fills all the holes.
Thank you, I’ll try setting it up and see how it goes.
- Comment on Good night, sleep tight... 5 months ago:
Hmmm, seems much the same as catbox, except that you need a click more to get the image link but gives you more options in return.
What I’m really interested in would be a (preferably) self hosted solution which allows one to share either single images or albums with visible (but non-obscuring) labels, and where one can easily flip through images in an album. Also needs batch upload (can be by FTP, the method doesn’t matter much). I’ve tried Pixelfed half a year ago, and while I really wanted to like it, it didn’t really have proper albums and labels at the time.
Hosts like Postimages and Catbox are fine, I guess, much like Discord is “fine, I guess”, but I don’t want to spam the host by uploading an image 50 times for 50 different posts, and no way that I’m gonna check all previously uploaded images whether I’ve already uploaded the one I need.
- Comment on Good night, sleep tight... 5 months ago:
Thank you, and it absolutely is, but I’m lazy and haven’t yet found a proper solution for hosting images.
I sometimes host smaller images like the above on Catbox, but Imgur, Catbox, and other similar sites feel just as clunky and unfit as Discord. At least to me.

Don’t forget to put all your clothes, bags, and other belongings in the freezer for a week when you come home.
I sheltered two people during the storm surge last year and I think they brought in bed bugs, though I didn’t wait long enough to properly confirm other than the itching and bite marks. In other words, the floor still has “bubble marks” from when the varnish started cooking during my week-long extermination craze.

Dunno about kids, but I’ve seen my fair share of grown men who appear to think so.
Ladders tend to be more stable if you lean them on the tree trunk, and not the branch you’re about to saw off.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 7 months ago:
I think i read that fighter pilots need to be able to identify a plane in one frame at 300 fps, and that the theoretical limit of the eye is 1000+ fps.
Though, whether the brain can manage to process the data at 1000+ fps is questionable.

Hurr hurr, I’m gonna plot f(x,y)=x^2+y^3 where y=x for x limit inf. Checkmate science!
