  There is also a problem of printers calling home regularly with unknown payload. Add to it that these devices have a camera it’s not a good look. Anecdotally mine stopped working in “lan-mode” after two or three weeks before it was allowed to connect and phone home again.

  Great way to die from intoxication as well!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Alcohol is something that for a very long time was associated with civilisation itself, it was and is very important. It’s just embedded into most societies of course people don’t consider it drug.

  Spinning down and up actually kills drives more than constant non-stop work, I have a setup close to yours, it just seeds torrents (linux isos ofc.) 24/7.

  That’s not a terminology that most people understand, and would only confuse everyone more, matey. 🏴‍☠️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't like the Linux clipboard situation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ability to paste text from last n copies is also built-in in every clipboard manager, for kde klipper history is mapped to win+v, for others I don’t know.

  Ability to sync clipboard over ssh that will support other applications is a neat thing to have, true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First server: Buying hardware in a developing country⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your decision, we have import tax as well starting from 150 euros or something, I’ve just always written 100 or less. With used hw you often don’t get warranty beyound week or 10 days anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't like the Linux clipboard situation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that there is multiple clipboards, Primary is one of the best things ever. It’s super useful, I often select text in browser while reading and don’t need it in my clipboard, but when there is something interesting copied text is just one click away. Actually I would love a configurable number of clipboards, 5 would be great.

  As foryour frustration you can use clipboard manager (iirc klipper on kde syncs them by default but you can disable or enable primary there).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First server: Buying hardware in a developing country⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Building on a nonserver hw is a good idea. You could look things up at aliexpress, they almost always have free shipping. Alternatively you can buy stuff in US/EU for cheap and use some service for parcel delivery from there idk, often they deliver super cheap (like us$10-20 for something that would be two timesmore expensive locally)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just stated that it’s a possibility, and at worst. These things really happen, if rarely, point was it’s better not to force an issue if other party is unwilling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometime I forget that wrongthink is not allowed around lemmy. You are perfectly fine with giving right answer even if it can bring horrible result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  First, religion is not a race. Second, I’m from place where muslims (very secular ones at it) are significant minority. Third, I’ve been in the situation outlined, and heard of similar from people in this situation.

  Also there were at least two religiously minded honor killings that I know of one involved tatar (muslim) family, another cyhan (christian) family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You actually don’t get that they are muslim, at best they won’t be happy that she is seeing someone and that someone isn’t muslim. At worst this can go into honor killing territory. In general it’s best not to be involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You probably can find some people on old school windows forums, also different warez/piracy forums. You can also try to show off on hackernews/lobsters, sometimes people there just love small projects like yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Month-long awareness celebrations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With exception of religious celebrations like easter or ramadan, I don’t think there are any long term dedicated celebrations. At least here in my part of eastern europe.

  It’s hard to imagine how horrible ‘early gpt’ versions were at Croatian if they constantly invented words grammar for much more popular languages at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you plan on finishing expansion as well? How do you like the game so far?

  Tap for spoiler

  For me later parts of the game were underwhelming and railroaded, also following games made everything inconsequential and small-scale. It doesn’t help that lorewise every blight before was huge and took multiple years, sometimes decades to end. While you as a hero disadvantaged every possible way, country - sparsely populated, just 20 years after the last big war, already lost one huge battle, there is low-key civil war going on; circle of magi - broken half of the people dead; dwarfs - reluctant to help; elves - there is like ten of them. Yet my party wins. First time I’ve played, there was hope that in the end we would at best win some time at worst fail completely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just copied what exactly are they going to remove.

  Tbh if German laws are so strict it might be better to just disallow any kind of political content on feddit instance and just stick with hobby/meme type of content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call to defederate from feddit.org over zionism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If your comment contains the following, it will be removed from this community:

  • Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular.
  • Calling for a destruction, annihilation, an end of all Zionism or the like.
  • Equating Israeli actions and (historical) Nazism.
  • The slogan “from the river…”
  • Endorsement of or justifications for Hamas or Hezbollah, or slogans or graphics positively referring to these organizations. These are considered terrorist organizations in Germany.
  • … and obviously: Any of the common antisemitic tropes or calls to violence against Jews or Israelis

  Comments will not be removed for the following:

  • Denouncing genocide.
  • Denouncing Israeli war crimes.
  • Criticizing Zionism as an ideology or political movement.
  • Referring to the current Israeli government as “criminal,” “expansionist,” or “far-right”.

  pretty reasonable, admins can’t change the law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least there's no ads...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you feel negative about it? I like lemmy and asking for yearly donation by people that actually put hours isn’t a crime in my opinion.

  We are only timeline, and everything is somewhat ok-ish, better than ever before at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can local LLMs be as useful and insightful as those widely available?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they want to. You can get your proofs yourself.

  These probably require more maintenance and not less, glass needs to be regularly cleaned and water changed and fertilized, what will happen when company stops supporting this proprietary algae aquariums?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s tiring and fun and for most people breaks routine. Most of the time you probably won’t be able or interested in looking at the phone so it takes some pressure of your mind as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ffs you do not get disappeared for using vpns especially personal ones. You can install vpns that circumvent firewalls as long as they are blessed by ccp and they are sold using wechat. For non compliant ones it’s the same. It’s you who misunderstands how authoritarian systems work, noone tries to nail you for doing something semi-illegal, you will be dissapeared for non-conforming not for exploiting system.

  Tap for spoiler

  I work in the vpn industry and we had multiple consultations and tests done in china.
