- Comment on BBC apologises to Trump over edit but refuses to pay compensation 4 days ago:
Having dug up and watched how they edited it, yes a retraction was definitely called for. They cut out almost an hour of content to manipulate his words in a way a journalist should never do.
Fuck paying him any money though. Their response here seems reasonable.
- Comment on Deep Rock Galactic set for new biomes, missions and enemies in Season 6 4 days ago:
Yay, finally!
- Comment on Was thinking of getting into 3d printing, doesn't this listing seem too good to be true? 6 days ago:
If you’re new to 3d printing, I don’t recommend buying a used budget printer unless you have extreme tolerance for troubleshooting someone else’s problems.
They’re cheap enough new.

You’ve made a virtual disk on the zfs. The vm will never see the zfs, that’s managed entirely by the host.
Yes you’ll want to make a normal partition inside that virtual disk.
- Comment on LEGO Star Trek Enterprise REVIEW 1 week ago:
I really like the shuttlecraft, I wish they’d sell that on its own.
- Comment on Unveiling the Official LEGO U.S.S. Enterprise-D 1 week ago:
I’m sorry but that looks like ass and it’s $400 usd. If it looked better and was half the price, I’d be all over it.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 1 week ago:
You don’t need a dryer to start. I printed for many years and only recently bought a dryer. It definitely helps with older filament, but you don’t need it to get started.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. “glass transition temperature” is the term to look up
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 weeks ago:
It’ll only sag if it heats up and starts to deform, like if you leave it in the sun. It’d probably be just fine under a conpressive load like that.
This is a fantastic doc blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 weeks ago:
Not at all.
- Comment on Want some advice on which filaments to use 2 weeks ago:
Pla would be fine but petg is my default these days. Petg is a bit more strong and less brittle, which will help at lower temps.
Strength is just as much about design as it is about the filament choice.
- Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been on Samsung for years and I don’t get this argument anymore. There’s no ads on my phone, and one ui is pretty smooth.
I do use my own launcher so maybe that covers it up, but new Samsung isn’t like what they were a long time ago.
- Comment on Question about Immich 2 weeks ago:
Are you running it in docker? If so, did you bind the mount properly? Exec into sh in the container and manually test the folder.
If not docker, su to the immich user and test the same thing.
- Comment on Question about Immich 2 weeks ago:
Like you have it running and added but it’s not scanning?
I can check my config later today if nobody else replies sooner.
- Comment on Question about Immich 2 weeks ago:
Yes. It’d be pretty silly of it not to.
I just gave it my giant lightroom library.
- Comment on German police mistakenly shoot soldier on training exercise 3 weeks ago:
According to German daily Bild, the military police fired practice ammunition at the arriving police officers, believing this was part of the military exercise.
Seems justified for the cop to shoot back, but why didn’t they know about the exercises?
- Comment on Help imaging a IDE drive 4 weeks ago:
Boot a clonezilla or Linux CD, don’t use your windows install.
- Comment on So admins, hows your instances looking today? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think any lemmy instances can afford to run on the big clouds.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 4 weeks ago:
Why would you have to wash your face before eating? Or brush your teeth? You can do it after.
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 1 month ago:
We just delete them from minio (our object storage)
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 1 month ago:
Yeah it emails us and pops up a thing in the ui where we can mark it as resolved
- Comment on What's the factor when you're planning to self-hosted a instance? 1 month ago:
We dont proxy on lemmy.ca yet, but I assumed thumbnails would still be stored in pictrs like usual? I thought it was just the actual image links that got proxied, and thumbnails were still dumped in like usual.
We turned on cloudflare’s CSAM scanner and remove anything it flags for us.
- Comment on Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them? 1 month ago:
I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don’t want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.
Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc
- Comment on Yes, That Great-Looking 'Star Trek: Voyager' Game Will Let You Spare Tuvix 1 month ago:
They stored people in quark’s holosuites in that ds9 episode
- Comment on Steady 1 month ago:
They say they’re holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.
They didn’t say they were holding steady at ideal levels.
- Comment on What happened with Sublinks? 1 month ago:
Everyone is ok with Python. It’s a reasonable choice that’s well known, well understood and doesn’t have a lot of negatives.
I’ve never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun.
- Comment on What happened with Sublinks? 1 month ago:
I have no knowledge, but would guess:
- building an app is harder than people think
- an opinionated community doesn’t generally help
- who wants to build a web app in Java?!
- Comment on Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration 2 months ago:
FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.
- Comment on What is there to know about magnetic storage mediums? 2 months ago:
This guy made his own floppy and managed to write / read from it. It’s an interesting watch.
- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 2 months ago:
I would counter that it takes significantly more power to provide someone with internet compared to a broadcast antenna.
Google tells me a low power tv antenna broadcasts at around 2.3kw. I’ve deployed datacenters full of racks where each rack pulls more than that. Once you take into account all the networking gear around the world, the internet easily requires more resources. Routers, switches and servers can be pretty power hungry.
