Tippon,

Any distro should do it, you just need to set your media centre software to run at startup. I’ve done it with Plex and Kodi, and I think Jellyfin does it too :)

Tippon,

Yes, that’s the point that TAG made. It’s something that I hadn’t considered, and it’s a good point.

The fact that it’s something shitty that businesses do doesn’t affect the fact that TAG made a good point.

Tippon,

That’s a good point. I could be in the restaurant for an hour trying to order, and as long as there are other kiosks available, it wouldn’t make a difference to them.

Tippon,

There have been times when I’ve been browsing All and the feed is full of bot spam. It chokes off engagement here and pushes people back to Reddit and the other bot spamming communities, like Hacker News.

If it was in small doses it wouldn’t be as bad, but there are times when there are dozens of posts in a row from a handful of communities.

I know that I can subscribe to the communities I like and browse from Home, but that’s no good for newcomers to the site, or for people who prefer to use All. You shouldn’t have to manually curate your feed to avoid the huge amounts of spam that’s designed to take you away from Lemmy.

Tippon,

They just hijack the link that someone else posts and replace it with an entirely new tracking link with a l.facebook.com domain

So this isn’t Facebook on every occasion then, it’s related to the site you’re visiting? If so, the extension will hopefully fix it :)

Tippon,

Apologies for the slow reply, I accidentally switched accounts on here without realising >.<

Have you disabled auto start in the DHCP profile?

I have no idea. That’s a setting that I didn’t know existed until now. I’ll have a look tonight and see if I can find it.

The power here is usually fine, but a transformer blew during the storm, and the one I’m on apparently took some of the strain.

Tippon,

Thanks, I’ll try that tonight and see how it’s set up.

P.S. Apologies for the slow reply, I accidentally switched accounts and didn’t see the replies here.

Tippon,

I’ve always dealt with names like eth0 and eth1 in the past, but now I’m only getting enp2s0 and enp5s0. I assumed that it was something that had changed over the last few years that I hadn’t noticed, but I’ll look into it further. Thanks :)

Tippon,

Here are two Reddit links I found recently when I wanted to rip some DVDs. I haven’t ripped them yet, so don’t know the best advice, and it’s been a while since I last did it.

Tippon,

You’ve just described a toastie and toastie maker. I don’t know what this jaffle nonsense is all about, but it sounds like someone is sneaking toasties through customs in a dodgy trenchcoat!

Tippon,

There used to be a vending machine in a hosiptal near me that would heat up a premade grilled cheese sandwich for £2. Being a vending machine in a hospital, they had to be making at least enough to cover the costs plus wastage. I’d say that somewhere with high footfall, especially on a cold day, you could make at least some profit from this.

Tippon,

No! My wife calls sandwiches made with toast toasties, and it’s wrong! These bad people need to be punished

Tippon,

In the UK I can currently buy an 800g loaf of bread for 45p (£0.45), a 500g tub of soft spread butter substitute for 99p (£0.99), and a 200g pack of 10 cheese slices for 65p (£0.65).

Each sandwich would cost about 12p (£0.12) to make, excluding the energy costs.

Doubling up on the cheese, or using higher quality cheese would still keep it under 20p per sandwich, and that’s off the shelf costs, no bulk discounts.

Excuse me while I write up a business plan…

Tippon,

Nope, that’s a toastie maker, plain and simple.

I’ll accept that your first three images could get away with being called toasties, but making a sandwich with a slice of toast doesn’t count. Open topped sandwiches of any kind should be taken out and shot, however they’re prepared. I’ll give cheese on toast a pass, but only because it’s a separate category.

Just because people mistakenly call toasties ‘Jaffles’, doesn’t mean that’s what they are. It’s wrong. Wrong I tell you! Jaffle’s not even a real word!

I really want a toastie now :(

Tippon,

Exactly, you live in a country that doesn’t shut down because of half a millimetre of snow. We genuinely get public transport shutting down if there’s snow, and we’ve infamously had trains stop running because of the wrong type of leaves on the line. For a country that mostly has adverse weather conditions, we’re absolutely useless if the weather’s anything but dry and sunny.

I honestly don’t know what we can do here to get better public transport and encourage people away from cars. Once you’re further down the valley, there’s enough room to build other transport methods alongside the roads to allow a transition, but further up, there’s barely enough room for cars to pass each other in some places, which means that buses would struggle too, and there’s no room to make a one way loop to free up space either.

Tippon,

Not much good if you’ve got to take the kids shopping though.

Tippon,

I’d love to get an ebike, but at the moment the price is too high, from what I’ve seen. The cheapest ones seem to be over £1,000, unless you get the little fold up bikes, but they don’t look like they’d be comfortable for a long ride where you’re pedaling lots.

A gravel bike style would be better here too, simply because we’re in the valleys, and lots of the trails are a bit rough.

Back to the point though, getting to the shops and carrying a week’s worth of shopping on a bike with young kids is impractical here. It would be great if it was practical, but other than the hills, we don’t have the infrastructure for the most part. The roads have to be shared, even if it’s just for now, and there are lots of stretches here where there’s not the room for bikes with motor vehicles, and especially not on the pavements. This time of year is even worse - it’s dark in the morning and night, and the weather is usually crap. All of it increases the risk of accidents, and that’s the last thing any of us want.

Tippon,

There’s another series like that, the Human Chronicles Saga by T.R. Harris. Humans are super strong because the gravity on Earth is much higher than on other planets. Materials on the other planets are weaker too, simply because they don’t need to be as strong, so the humans can break through walls easily.

Tippon,

Deep fried haggis is much nicer than it sounds. I tried it a few years ago in Edinburgh on a rugby weekend.

I had what I thought was fried squid in Spain once. I’d tried squid a few years before, and it was flavourless and rubbery, but I later learned that it had been overcooked. When I saw Calamari on the menu in a seaside restaurant, I thought I’d try it again.

It had a longer name, but a badly translated conversation with the waiter convinced me that it was the same dish.

The same waiter brought out a plate of what looked a lot like deep fried baby squid or octopus.

It was very nice, but I got filthy looks from my young niece for ‘eating all the babies’, so I haven’t had it since.

Tippon,

Do you get ads in Gmail in other clients? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one

Tippon,

That sucks. I haven’t had any yet, but I’ll keep an eye out

Tippon,

Yep, same here. I tore the muscles and ligaments in my shoulder 25 years ago, and didn’t keep up with the exercises. At the time it didn’t feel too bad. Now, it hurts regularly, and I don’t have the full range of motion.

On the bright side, every time I rotate my shoulder, it clicks and grinds, and scares the shit out of my squeamish friends…

Tippon,

Huh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh, Blitzkrieg Bop!
