Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...
I was recently talking to some friends about Lemmy and the whole Fediverse idea, as it seemed like a really cool part of the Internet. As I was talking about it, though, I realized how unusually friendly this whole place is, and I joked that I “surprisingly haven’t found any bigotry.”...
As the sole admin on a [very] small instance I’ve seen had no reports, and the only thread that I did see getting toxic it was shut down by both the users and then the mods.
I guess, mostly sub’d to tech type communities there is less opportunity for open hatred.
@ada, is there a good community like r/twoxchromosomes that doesn’t mind a [almost] 50 y/o straight guy lurking?
All my <TLD> are redacted and I still full own. in the .nz space there has to be a real contact person, and I’m ok with that as I’m a big boy that has been online for over 1/4 of a century now.

hi, I’ve been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I’ve been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I’ve found my productivity increase like a lot....
I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup....
I have a couple of servers (all 2.5" drives) and a disk shelf (for the much easer to get large volume 3.5" drives) attached to one of them with an external sas PCIe card. I could push that to 300+TB if I had the cash
Ok I succumb to the summary illness: (in broken english via chatGPT (just for the fun))
In Spain, October start this year very hot. The weather guys say it’s hottest ever. Almost 40% of weather machines show more than 32 degrees Celsius (that’s like 90 Fahrenheit).
Our autumn, usually nice and cool, no good this year. Summer had four super-hot times in 24 days. They say humans make world warmer, you know?
On October 1st, it was like summer here! Way hotter than normal, 7 to 14 degrees more. They broke like 100 records for heat. Two cities in the south, Badajoz and Montoro, hottest ever in October with 38 C. Before it was 37.5 C in Marbella in 2014. Even in Madrid’s Retiro Park, the old weather machine tied the record from 1930, 30 C.
The climate guy from AEMET said it’s because of climate change. He thinks future summers will be even hotter and last longer into our usually nice rainy autumn. Not good, huh?

A really neat graphic I randomly stumbled across on Wikipedia....
so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker?
I’ve been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I’ve always download and re-shared by seeding....
Can anyone share their experience with Asahi as a Daily Driver?

Mandrake Linux 10.0, from 2004. They still work too. Had to buy them on disc, slow dialup internet in those days. (mastodon.africa)
