  • You also don't have to reboot when Discover says to. It's just saying that the updates won't take effect until you reboot. It could probably be worded better, for sure.

  • The obsession with Hunter is fucking weird as hell. And he seems to live rent free in their heads.

    I was talking to my conservative brother and made a joke about drugs or something, and he immediately said "Just watch out for Hunter Biden! Hahaha!"

    It wasn't even a political conversation, I just mistook a smoke shop sign for something else and joked about it! I don't even think I can name Trump's kids except Eric. And I don't know fucking anything about them. Why do they care about Hunter when he's not even the fucking president, it's so bizarre.

  • Just finished Sea of Stars. A random indie game I saw that looked like it would tickle my nostalgia senses, and boy did it deliver. Managed to sneak its way into my top 10 games of all time, easy.

    If you're a fan of turn-based RPGs with action command mechanics (like Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi), old school isometric pixel graphics like Golden Sun or Breath of Fire, great characters, a solid plot, and good pacing, I urge you to pick this game up. There wasn't ever really a moment where I didn't want to keep playing.

    It took me about 35 hours to finish the entire story and most side content. I estimate it would be probably another 10 hours to finish the rest of the side quests and get all the achievements.

  • Eternity for Lemmy implemented this and it's been really handy for small instance users to funnel traffic through our instances.

  • Look into Distrobox. It allows me to use just about any AUR package via a local Arch container on my Tumbleweed system. You can even export apps and binaries to your local path and applications so that they integrate natively with the base system. I've only run into a handful of packages that didn't work correctly, but I wasn't surprised at all - they were all pretty low level system packages.

  • I'll definitely be using LocalSend for my less tech-savvy friends, but I've had lots of success myself with Portal. It works local or over internet, depending on if it can make a direct connection or not. Works great for quick file transfers to and from my desktop and servers.

  • Malicious actors spamming the community with actual CSAM.

  • Essentially confirms the game is Mario, but on drugs. Stoked to play it.

  • Huh, do I have that misconfigured by some happy accident? My pictrs volume is only around 50Mb after running my instance for over a month. I have both LCS and Lemmony federating popular content, too...

  • Also, are the images even federated? I know the current line of thinking is that they are, but I could not find them in my local pictrs volume. Not that I wanted to, mind you. But I looked and only saw one picture in there from the problematic time period, and it happened to be one of my user's avatars. And one of the CSAM posts federated with me, I know for a fact, because I saw the comments even though I couldn't see the picture (and I feel horrible for those users who saw it, some of them were obviously traumatized).

    I'm keeping a close eye on my pictrs volume and really scrutinizing who I allow on my instance after this whole thing, but on the whole, I'm not overly concerned, even as a US-based self-hoster. I registered with the DMCA and will fully comply with any and all takedown requests, even silly ones like copyright. I don't have the finances or time for prolonged legal battles.

    Edit: Figured it out. My pictrs container didn't have an external network definition, so it was timing out while retrieving external images.

  • Hard agree. The animals didn't do anything wrong. :(

  • Even better than F-Droid is Obtainium. Get apps right from the repo release page, no waiting for F-Droid to recompile.

  • That's actually really fucking cool.

  • Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't. I had to delete the menu background video folder because the game would crash on startup if I didn't. It works now, though.

  • Mythbusters rated contagious yawns as plausible, I believe, because they observed multiple instances of yawns spreading throughout a building where the participants couldn't see each other.

  • Comment and post edits and deletes are federated. OP probably means account deletion. Currently, if you delete your Lemmy account, it does not federate, so your old comments and posts stick around on other instances, I believe even with your old username attached.

  • “The era of ‘just go out and diet and exercise’ is now gone,’”

    Horseshit. Especially if they can't manufacture the drugs fast enough. I'm type 1, so I follow the #diabetes hashtag on Mastodon, and the number of people complaining that they can't get their GLP-1 drug refilled because of shortages is ridiculous.

  • He said in his follow-up video that there would be no more follow-ups. So we'll see.
