I think the decline in quality is true. Any time a community gets big enough it becomes a target for manipulation and bots. We try to defend against these, but it’s hard.

Not sure the Lemmy community is at adequacy, but I think we’ve definitely a quality+quantity threshold high enough to be engaging and have new content every day, without having to scroll for hours to see things.

90% of the memes I see are posted by about 3 people that I know by name.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

What kind of operation was this? That’s 170,000 emails a day!

Also, if you do it right, I’m pretty sure you can cross-link your git repo’s markdown files without using the built in wiki.

This makes it a lot more portable if you want to update the wiki in your favorite text editor.

Docker compose files (and docker execs) use the following format

  volumes:
    - <host_storage_path>:<vm_mount_path>

If the docker-compose has a ${VAR_NAME}:/data, then it will replace it directly with the variable defined in the .env file in the same directory with the format

VAR_NAME=/path/on/host

And would mount the host’s /path/on/host to /data

I’m not familiar with that particular tool.

If it uses docker, the most common place for the docker images and overlays is /var/lib/docker. This contains ALL docker overlays and such.

Hope this helps.

It also massively reduces contact with the road.

My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.

Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.

To be fair, I just bought a smart tv that has never touched the internet and doesn’t give me any problems. No prompts, no ads, just goes to my Apple TV and my steam deck.

I can hear this in my head. Snoop is amazing

Also, he spelled Semitic wrong both times!

I see the sausage vendor is in town this week!

Aside from the fact that the best drivers are closed source, NVIDIA is killing it on Linux these days.

Talk about double-fisting…

That’s definitely part of it. Also not an expert, but I believe you have the gist of it. Diesel engines are more efficient for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is more efficient heat capture to use for Work.

Another factor would be that if you want to do an oil combustion into steam power, you have a few issues:

1. You now have to lug around a LOT of both fuel and water, instead of just water and dry coal. Water and oil are both heavy by comparison to coal when lugging a train car of it around.
2. you now have two areas for heat loss to happen. Steam engines require massive boilers, high heat, and run much greater worst case failure risks (I.e. explosions) which are at highest risk when the water runs out. Coal is worse for this than I imagine oil would be, though inertia is a powerful force. Why move to another complicated system that does the same thing when you can use the old one?
3. Supply lines and training: if coal is already managed logistically, why switch to something else that provides a marginal benefit when coal is both cheap, easily accessed, and your engineers already know how to use it?

I’m sure there are even better reasons out there, but that’s what comes off the top of my head.

Oh, for some reason I read them as LXC containers instead of as docker.

How did you put Immich in a container? I’ve struggled with that the last couple of weeks.

This is exactly what I would suggest, with one addendum: use internet archive links wherever possible. Especially if the links are intended to be clickable.

In the process of acquiring an advanced degree, I learned the worst part of research is finding dead links to pages that were never archived.

By putting it in the internet archive to create a link, it also adds a snapshot.

I think the voiceover was added for YouTube, but I’m pretty sure that footage came from a game in 1991 “Zero Wing”

“Privacy-focused” OS from a Chinese company? Really? The same company that’s been accused of stealing secrets from its android phone users and automatically blocks content unfavorable to the Chinese government no matter what country you’re in???

I don’t believe you.

As an engineer:

1. Receive or identify a problem.
2. Design a solution that solves or mitigated the problem.
3. Usually pay someone to make a prototype or do it ourselves
4. Test the prototype and see if it solves the problem. If no, go back to #2 until a workable solution is found
5. Get someone else to build the final thing.
6. Make sure thing works. Ship it.

This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.

Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.
