FreeCAD is fairly good. Some of the controls are a bit wonky, but that is just a minor gripe. If you are starting on FreeCAD, that doesn’t matter so much. FreeCAD is good to know if you design components for KiCAD as well.

Parametric modeling is fucking awesome, btw. I am not quite sure how old that concept is though.

Having pissed off my fair share of people on social media, there are people that could just be sitting around and downvoting just you. It happens and it’s really weird.

However, I have noticed that here on Lemmy a little more. New comments or posts will get downvoted fairly quick, but they will bounce back fairly quick. It’s also weird.

So… Almost between tierce and a rundlet? Or is it just over a quater?

Wait. I thought you were taking about thumbnails for some reason. Sorry.

It’s for images that you open?

I just dug a little into the Flutter API and saw what might be going on. Scaling is done properly on a regular browser, but there might be a built-in function for it somewhere. It may take a few more steps with Flutter.

(Just rambling a bit for those who care about details and theory crafting.)

Calling BoxFit in Flutter is significantly less expensive for thumbnails, I would speculate. It appears that it would take a few operations to scale an image properly and could impact slower devices.

An option to enable or disable image scaling would be nice. It’s just annoying that its probably not a one line code change. (Unless it is. That would be great.)

Settings -> Post Customization -> [Full Width]

That takes up much more screen real estate, but some people like it.

Connect instance switching will be buggy sometimes, especially when there is a Lemmy update that modifies auth tokens in some way.

The only way I know how to resolve account list bugs like that is to purge your app cache and app data. It’s not ideal, but it has worked for me in the past.

I can only suggest typical troubleshooting stuffs:

  • clear all app data/app cache (requires reauthentication to instances)
  • logout/login to all instances (if you didn’t clear app cache and app data)
  • disable any kind of third-party task manager (those don’t really do much anyway.)
  • temporarily disable third-party ad filters (many apps absolutely hate local SSL proxies/local VPNs. For me, Connect is unusable with AdGuard’s SSL filter, but it could be a general Lemmy issue)
  • Try and get crash logs. (This is a convoluted process on Android, so you will need to research a process that works for your phone. If someone has a point-n-shoot process for this, I really want to know.)
  • Different post display settings might reduce memory consumption. This is a theory, and I don’t know whch ones would have the biggest impact.

Connect will consume a considerable amount of phone memory, but it’s less than my average for other apps. It is currently using ~400MB RAM, but it peaks at ~1.5GB. I am also a heavy user, so there is that. (My app cache is only at about 500MB, for now.)

Quitting drinking is a peculiar beast. If you were a “normal” drinker, you might only experience some mild mood irritation or have an issue getting to sleep if nightcaps were your thing. You might experience nothing.

If you were a heavy drinker and immediately quit, that can actually kill you. I am going to be realistic here: Ex-drinkers in my class of alcoholic could drink a few bottles of wine, or a case of beer or 5th of liquor throughout the day and then drink more after that, pass out drunk and then start the next morning with a couple of shots.

Alcohol withdrawal in those extreme cases can be deadly. When I quit, I was in bed for a week, with supervision, and had a detox center on speed dial, just in case. It’s no joke. (I should add that my approach was still risky and stupid.)

But yeah, quitting anything that is addictive is going to piss your body off a little. Eventually, if you lay off the “bad things” long enough, your body will recover. You can see the full gambit with nicotine though: Agitation, higher BP, sweats, etc. It depends on your body.

Above all else, talk to a doctor. Everyone’s situation is always unique and is rarely diagnosed properly over social media.

DHCP is a really stupid* service for the most part. Unless you are working with multiple subnets or have some very specific settings you need to pass to your clients, it’s probably not worth it to manage it yourself. I don’t want to discourage you though! Assigning static IP addresses by MAC can be extremely useful and is not always an option on routers. If you want static names and dynamic addresses, that is really where you need to manage both DNS and DHCP. It really depends on how and where you want names to be resolved and what you are trying to accomplish. (*stupid as in, it’s a really simple service. You want it simple because when DHCP breaks, you have other serious issues going on.)

Setting up your own DNS is worth its weight in gold. You can put it just about anywhere on your network (before your gateway, after, in China, whatever.) and your network won’t even know the difference if setup correctly. You can point BIND at the root servers and bypass your ISP completely if you want. ISP DNS services suck ass, so regardless of you resolve yourself, or forward all name queries to your anon DNS server of choice you have a really decent level of control on your network. It is the service to learn if you want to keep an eye on where your network wants to talk.

Your Unifi USG must play nice with your own server, by the laws of DNS. There may be some nuances when it comes to internal protocols like WINS, but other than that, it should be just fine.

I would setup a simple VM somewhere first, to answer your actual question. It’s good practice to keep core services isolated on their own, dedicated instances. This is to speed up recovery time and minimize down time. Even on your home network, DNS and DHCP are services you do not want going down. It’s always a pain when they do go down.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

Your frame of mind is “dangerous”. If you are browsing on your servers as root, you need to not manage servers anymore. If that sounded harsh, learn about attack surface area first and then I might let you back in the server room.

You won’t find discussions about running browsers as root because it’s not something you should need to discuss. Also, you don’t need to be browsing “shady” websites to get compromised. Get that myth out of your head.

find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the system

How is extra steps and added latency more convenient? The latency of a console via remote desktop would drive me crazy. Hell, I haven’t installed any kind of desktop environment on Linux server for over 20 years. It’s not needed and a waste of resources. Who needs file managers anyway?

I have just the opposite problem. They keep calling me and they never seem to remember that I already bought one from them. Still, the sales people are extremely patient when I list off all the problems with one of my vehicles and ask about every single excruciating detail about what their coverage offers. Sometimes I’ll get distracted and start talking about my fish. They are pretty fish too! One is a goldfish and the other is a beta. The beta is a silly little thing and likes to jump out of the water when it is about to get fed. She’ll even try to give you kisses if you put your nose really close to the water. The goldfish though… eesh. I think I have had him for about 5-6 years already. We tried to put him in with a beta once, but Goldie tried to kiss Nuggets and missed and swallowed her by mistake. Oops! I feel bad about Nuggets, but mistakes happen. After we put him on time out for a bit, we think he learned his lesson. Does anyone else have tips to keep bully fish tame? We have tried everything, but nothing seems to work. We’ll get it right one day. My kids think I am crazy, but that is OK. Oh, I gotta tell you about what my kids did the other day! …
