no more trustworthy than any other autorouter, but at least it’s fast!
LOL

I don’t own a gun, actually. Your assumption is bad and you should feel bad.
I am doing nothing but thinking about ensuring my ability to obtain one, should the political situation continue to deteriorate. That’s prudent, not delusional.
The only one here acting obsessive and unhinged is you.
- Comment on Sun protective clothing 1 week ago:
Clothing with a UPF rating just means its level of protection has been measured; it doesn’t necessarily imply unrated clothing doesn’t protect also. That is to say, I don’t think sun protective clothing has any high-tech coatings or other special sauce the way waterproof/breathable clothing does.
Just wear something made of synthetic fiber and/or with a dense weave, colored a dark color, and that covers as much skin as possible. And most importantly, a wide-brimmed hat.

Please explain how I can “do literally anything productive with my life” when I’m murdered by MAGA fascists because I had no means to defend myself.

Neat, I would’ve assumed you’d need a mill or a lathe, not just a drill press. Link to instructions?

Maps you bring with you from the present should still be pretty useful, as long as they’re topographical maps as opposed to road maps. And as long as you’re not going deep into geologic time, of course.

My screenshot doesn’t prove I downvoted before your comment, but I did. (lemvotes.org should’ve been able to prove it by including the timestamp of the action, but gives a 404 error when I put the link for the post in.)
I think your instance isn’t showing all the votes: either it hides downvotes, or they aren’t federating, or something like that. As I type this, this post as viewed from https://lemmy.zip/post/66851596 shows 93 upvotes and 0 downvotes, while my view from https://lemmy.world/post/48676854 shows 102 upvotes and 1 downvote.
Edit: Now that I think about it, both the 404 on lemvotes.org and the vote discrepancies might also have to do with the fact that the home instance of this post is Piefed, not Lemmy.

The fact that this meme is obviously from R*ddit (notice

I don’t understand the appeal of cigarettes, though.
Peer pressure followed by addiction is my guess.

I think it’s an attack on Free Software and property rights (what some people minimize as “right to repair”).
- Comment on Waterproofing PETG prints? 4 weeks ago:
Locally, I’ve not been able to find anything that is certified food safe, only various epoxy fillers and primers for boats.
Call the manufacturer of the locally-available epoxies and ask them what they recommend.
I went looking for contact info for one common brand as an example, but found instead this product support article that suggests, to me at least, that their “limited food contact”-rated epoxies would be good enough for your use-case.
(I never did find a phone number or email for product support, but they do at least have a chat widget, so… 🤷)
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 4 weeks ago:
“Just as” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, IMO. Can they be subverted against the people they are supposed to serve? Of course. Is it as likely as a for-profit corporation doing it? Hell no, I’d say.

Even aside from the obvious (or at least, should-be-obvious) tyranny, there are so many problems with this as a concept. For example, WTF is supposed to happen when the OS is in a VM spun up by an automated system and has no human user to begin with?

What software would that be? I’ve been looking for a viable self-hosted alternative to Mint (and now Monarch Money) since forever.

I just upgraded my Proxmox to 9 last night, too!
…from 7, 'cause that’s how long I’d been neglecting it. 😅
I’ve also been trying to get my old dual-Opteron server working again, after having abandoned it a couple of years ago due to what I thought was a bad motherboard (IIRC, it wasn’t turning on at all). I was gonna buy a new motherboard since I happened to run across a cheap Ebay listing, but I decided to double-check the existing one first, and lo and behold, it booted!
Then I tried to update the ancient Proxmox on it from 6 to 7, and now it still turns on but doesn’t successfully boot.
Also, I can’t get it to boot from a flash drive for some reason, so I think I might have to take out the SSD, reinstall Proxmox on it from a different system, and then put it back in.
- Comment on Humble Bundle have launched their 2025 Pride Month games bundle 1 year ago:
I remember when the minimum tip to Bundle was $0. I remember because I used to set it to something like:
- $1/game going to developer for games that had native Linux versions
- $1/game going to charity for games that didn’t (+more to meet any minimums to get the whole bundle)
- $0 tip
And I often picked a different charity than the default.
