A forum should work in tandem with a chatroom in an "ideal" online community, imo. Searchable Q&A with a communication for additional, nuanced interaction. They serve different purposes and can be more powerful when used together, than they could be on their own.
Lemmy does seem to have a bunch of old, crotchety internet nerds on here that like the "old ways" of the webs. But just tell 'em to "go fuck yourself", if they're being a dick; and than don't reply to them again. It's very freeing. They're just butt sensitive about linux and foss, cause they were bullied on early internet forums and now act the same way, when expressing their loud-ass opinions. It's like an unfortunate cycle of abuse that has existed on forums, but don't let it discourage you from asking anyway... the question might help others
I'm a crotchety old internet nerd... tell me to "go fuck myself", just for funsies! It's empowering!
Normally, there are plugs labeled for critical equipment (as in, they're connected to the generators even if the power goes out). But yeah, everything non-essential is kinda down.
You still absolutely need to go check your equipment during a power outage, and make sure your "critical" stuff is plugged into the "generator outlets". There's battery power on (pretty much) all critical equipment, so you have a buffer.
I personally don't rely on batteries being my backup, and keep my critical stuff plugged into the labeled outlets... but you still gotta check; and deal with power being out for everything else
Not "regular outages" where I've worked, but natural disasters and such can happen. Back-up generators run things, but ya still gotta make sure your equipment is plugged into the "generator supplied" outlets.
But now the employees don't have AC and such. And than the networks are down, so you have to paper-chart everything and the orders get slowed up and... it's a whole thing. Not the end of the world if you know what you're doing, but it can be dangerous if people don't pay attention. It just makes it a bit more stressful to do your job well
But if you're already flagged, and then I interact with you online, and use words like "Tails" or "Tor"... am I now flagged? If so, we're all flagged around here now
What word? Tails? Like, "Tails" from Sonic? Or "Tails" as in the word I searched and fucked myself on, for being insatiably curious?
Sonic is the first thing I think of, when I think of Tails. Like "Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic and Tails". And Tails was kinda my favorite character... besides Knuckles, because of the gliding plus climbing thing
But yeah, now I'm apparently not allowed to say "Tails" without scrutiny. C'est la vie. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
Lmao that's low key, kinda how I feel looking at that link right now
Edit: Mother fu**er, and I still clicked it! God damnit; curse my curiosity.
It's a link to the Tails website y'all, in case you're wondering. Doesn't matter for me, I'm already balls deep under the NSA's nose now. Hope they're happy my taint is showered
Tails OS. I went to search what it was and read the Wikipedia article. Guess I'm on a watch-list now, cause of my dumb curiosity lol
From Wikipedia
In 2014 Das Erste reported that the NSA's XKeyscore surveillance system sets threat definitions for people who search for Tails using a search engine or visit the Tails website
Same, but never realized it was from the Cookbook. I think we baked them first to dry them out? It did absolutely nothing, but I guess the journey was fun nonetheless lol
They're pretty awesome. I think they can stay for 10 years, and it's a relatively quick out-patient procedure to have it placed/removed. No hormones, and like 99% effective
I should have said color-coded instead of labeled. But yeah, I've only seen red plugs like that
