I never have. Just thinking about WiFi and Bluetooth drivers on random laptops still puts me into a full flashback state. (My first experience was back in 2002, I think?)
However, getting all of that stuff working was the best learning experience I ever had. At the time, I was just learning about IT security and WiFi pcap was all the rage back then.
I do not want to block all bots. I only want to block bots from specific instance. More specifically, the @alien.top instance is using most, if not all, bot accounts with random usernames. It uses that instance to post in communities of other instances. I thought about blocking other instances. But the main issue lies with...
Your instance is misreporting its name somehow and it was super annoying when I was trying to block it.
Is it alien.top or selfhosted.forum? Pick one please.
Also, do you manage any other instances so I can block those as well? Needless to say, I am slightly pissed off that I have replied to several posts before I saw they were bots. Some of those replies took some effort when I was trying to actually be helpful.
It thought about that, actually. If I was in a gladiator pit, I would absolutely want my own vote to count, and it does.
However, after thinking about the dynamics of social media updooting, the first vote, in my opinion, is actually the starting point for the scale, not 0/0. It’s not that OPs vote doesn’t count, it’s just that the scale is shifted by one and starts at 1/0 by default. OP can then choose to keep the upvote, remove the upvote or downvote. (Basically, it’s not OPs choice to get the 1/0 vote. Changing the default vote, or keeping it, is where OP has a choice.)
There is an argument to be had that all posts start at 0/0, regardless of defaults. My own opinion is that they actually all start at 1/0. Supporters of either could argue they are correct.
I am fully aware that I am making a really stupid argument here, but it’s supposed to be in fun.
The short comment I posted should be classified as a quip.
What it actually insinuated is there is a very short list of operating and maintenance procedures for toilets. If you are to the point of closing the lid to contain odors, some of those basic steps might be getting missed. Hence, the quip.
Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app?...
That would be 2.2 terabytes. You are on the right track though and metric system conversion is part of the problem. 1000GB != 1024GB. 1,024GB is correct while HDD manufacturers use 1,000GB, which is also correct, but still not equal to 1024GB. (I just confused myself thinking through the conversions, but you get the idea.)
The other part of the problem is hidden partitions used for recovery or performance. There are other things like FAT and such, but I don’t know the modern file layouts these days. (Its probably the same as it always was, TBH.)
The space is usually, mostly, there. It’s just hidden and preallocated.
Edit: Forgot about boot partitions as well. That’s a thing. Additionally, I have seen more than one instance of someone doing 1:1 drive copies without adjusting the partitions for a larger drive. That is less common these days but probably still happens.
