habbin, in To people who had pneumothorax surgery, How are you doing now?

I’m fifteen years post surgery on both sides. Had blebs and bullae removed and a mechanical VATS (no talc) a few weeks apart.

There were complications with one surgery and I ended up having an unplanned thoracotomy which took a while longer to heal, but beyond a very cool scar, I have had no real noticeable health changes and am very glad I had it done.

Valmond, in Is Lemmy as a platform sustainable?

I run lemmy.mindoki.com on a pc I built from spare parts (40€ dell plus for fun I got a hexa core for 50-ish and swapped out the celeron gold), only new “expensive” thing is the mechanical hard drive I guess but it’s really not needed. I had it laying around and there were already an SSD. I also had the website so no hidden cost there either.

So it heats up my bedroom (but not enough, so the electricity cost is nil ATM).

I don’t really have users though 😅

enragedzeus05,

Did you follow some sort of guide. I have some spare dell 730xd in my barn I wouldn’t mind tossing into my rack again. I just don’t have a clue on setting up an instance. I would also have to get this thing on its own vlan for obv reasons. Or a DMZ.

Valmond,

No plan just moving ahead one error after another :-D

I was fresh to dockers, nginx, setting up a certificate for Https… but eventually it happened.

The community helped me a lot too.

PlasterAnalyst, in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

Beagles are naturally like that. They're also high energy dogs. I would try to walk and play with him more to wear him out.

Ive been having my little sister take him and the other dogs out to play several times a day. My boy sleeps most of the day though lol

PlasterAnalyst,

Your little sister is now the Alpha.

Lol she’s not because the dogs don’t even listen to her

theherk, in Does Piped.video actually work for anyone?

Yes, but I have noticed you have to wait for that spin for quite some time. I have not looked at its architecture at all, but it made me assume it was doing some intermediary caching or some such. I wonder if this is the same for videos that have been watched already at your local CDN assuming it is doing something interesting with edge delivery.

Have just started to check it out, so I’m clueless but it has worked pretty well so far.

BowserBasher, in Does Piped.video actually work for anyone?

That video loaded fine for me just now. I have had similar issues though when I need to refresh a page once or twice to get it to load/play the video. It’s either hit and miss or maybe an issue when I load the page initially.

jackoneill, in Does Piped.video actually work for anyone?

Yeah it literally never works. Cool idea but it’s so bad when I see one of those links I just ignore it because they literally never work

LastYearsPumpkin, in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

You are getting some dangerous advice in this thread that can make things worse.

You already have a bite, that’s a huge sign that you have escalated past the normal behavior stuff. Talk to a professional, talk to a local organization, like the local humane society, respected training center, or your vet, and get some real advice.

Pushing back and acting violent towards a violent dog can get you hurt and the dog put down.

I’m not going to be violent with my dog. He has enough issues. I wanted ways to get this behavior stopped in a way that has positive reinforcement or some shit.

Vilian,

that’s why ask for a professional advice

Kaliax,

Professional advice is the best route to go. In the meantime there is a wonderful YT channel called “No Bad Dogs” out of NYC I believe. Their approach is full-spectrum regarding positive reinforcement, positive punishment, etc. Also, one of the main ways I work with my (non-abused puppies & not a professional) with resource guarding is as follows: grab a low-value and high-value item. Give the dog the low-value item, tell them “out” after a short time (no touching/forcing), the moment they drop it say “yes” and give them the high-value item. Do this randomly, short and sweet. Best of luck.

Dagwood222, in Who is the cruelest fictional villain?

There was an old Captain America comic where the Red Skull had a glass floor in his dining room so he could look down on the torture chamber underneath.

Rhynoplaz, in Does Marijuana Make Anybody Pass Out Like Me?

Did you have a coughing fit between taking the hit and passing out?

In my house, we call it the hard reset.

Of course, I’ve never seen anyone completely pass out from it, it’s usually just a few seconds of remembering who and where you are.

Rocky60,

No coughing

Rhynoplaz,

This is definitely something I’ve never heard of then.

It’s possible that you are an alien from another planet, and cannabis is your kryptonite. Just a theory, though.

rip_art_bell, in What game do you play to just chill?
@rip_art_bell@lemmy.world avatar

Any of the building/management games like Factorio or Dyson Sphere Program or RimWorld. You can definitely make those games extremely challenging (speed runs, achievements, ultra hard modes/challenges). But for me they’re cozy games where I can chip away at a small project or part of a larger project, like, I don’t know, slowly building a scale model or something.

revelrous, in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

Has the dog had a checkup recently? Had a beagle once that had its health take a slide, and it feeling uncomfortable led to less than great behavior. I’d advise against the ‘tough guy’ route being suggested here. Even if it gets you the results you want in the moment, it isn’t necessary, stability and affection will get you farther.

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

He just had a checkup and everything is fine. I’m 100% not taking the tough guy route.

Mediocre_Bard, in What game do you play to just chill?

World of Warcraft Retail.

SgtAStrawberry, in What game do you play to just chill?

Animal Crossing New Leaf, Stardew Valley, Starfiled, Minecraft and Fortza Horazion 3,4 or 5.

Candelestine, in My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

I’m more of a cat guy, but I grew up with dogs, and I always dealt with them by participating in their doggo-world hierarchy, but making absolutely 100% certain that there was zero question who sat atop it. I am much larger than a dog, so this was not difficult for me. Just a little animal intimidation was all that was necessary.

Having a lot of them though, it was always really apparent that they have strong pecking-order style ways of arranging themselves. So, I just participated in their lifestyle. I was young, but it did work, they always listened pretty well to me.

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

How did you assert your dominance? I don’t want to be rough with my dog and make him more anxious.

Candelestine,

I did occasionally do nose thwaps, not hard, but it was what I was taught. It was rare though, and I doubt it was actually necessary. I would growl, and if necessary storm after them and loom over them. That would always get the roll over belly up surrender posture.

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve tried that and he would just get very scared. I don’t want him to be scared.

Candelestine,

I see. I would think about a tiny amount of it being okay. Not very much at all, and once he surrenders, then you can immediately take back the desired object and withdraw. Then like, a couple minutes go by so nothing is confusing, and you counteract the fear you just used with some lovings, since you got what you wanted, and you want to reward the obedient behavior.

Basically employing just enough fear to halt his aggression, but then no more, and going back to using just positive reinforcement.

I’m no expert, incidentally. This is all just old anecdote from my youth, and now I’m getting away from that into more theory and shit, so I’m getting even further out from my wheelhouse. Kinda just waiting now for another Lemming to tell me what a dumbass I am, and explain more modern dog training methods. lol

MrBobDobalina,

Not gonna call you a dumbass when you’re open about this being anecdotal only, but yes, all of the ‘assert dominance’ stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. At best you’ll get a dog who fears you just the ‘right’ amount to behave how you want them to when you are there, but they don’t have any actual skills and the behaviour does not transfer well to other people and situations. And if their new anxiety does overcome their fear, the resulting behaviours will be much worse than what you started with.

Candelestine,

Do you have any literature recommendations that might cover the latest understanding?

MrBobDobalina,

Not on hand, I’d just be googling for it at the moment. I did recently save a super informative comment about the history of the training schools of thought, I know it’s not an actual source but it should provide enough to search for if you want to go deeper. Comment link: possumpat.io/comment/2354604

Candelestine,

Thank you. It’s good enough for me, I don’t own a dog, so it’s more just a curiosity thing.

quatschkopf34,

Do not listen to this guy. This is such a dangerous, outdated and bad advice that will only scare your dog and worst will make him bite you. Get some real help with professionals in your area. Abused dogs are really hard to train so please stay away from advice from strangers on the internet.

LaunchesKayaks,
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yeah. I’m not going to do anything to traumatize my dog. I just didn’t know if there are ways to assert your dominance in a non-aggressive way.

Anticorp, in Those of you with lesser-known types of jobs...what do you do?

For one glorious summer I was a small boat sailing instructor at a summer camp. My life was sitting on the beach and teaching kids to sail. I had a wonderful tan, and sun bleached hair. My life was stress free and wonderful. I got into it by learning how to sail at that very camp, and applying for the job. It paid minimum wage, but it also came with free room and board, and I was a kid, so I didn’t really need any money anyways.

marx2k,

What do you do now?

Anticorp,

Website development.

SheDiceToday,

Dang, I missed out. I applied for that job somewhere up in Maine, just to get away from hick-ville south USA. I think they thought I was crazy to want to drive that far.

Waker,

That’s sounds like an amazing time. I felt relaxed just reading your description of it… 🥲
