Why is my printer ticking? [solved]
Ever since I hooked my printer up to the Ethernet (over a patch panel), it makes a ticking sound exactly every three seconds....
How can i know whether a website is a part of the fediverse?
Is there an easy way to see if something is an instance or community on the fediverse, or ‘just’ a forum on the web? For instance, would it always be mentioned in a sidebar? I know there are lists of instances, but i am hoping for something easier. I might be overlooking something glaringly obvious, but i thought i would...
[Question] to LVM or not?
Noob starting first server. Installed Ubuntu server, and opted for LVM. However, will that cause me problems on a headless server if I get a power outage and need to reboot? I think yes. Is there a solution, or should i remove LVM before i go too deep setting things up?
What's the difference between Force, Impulse and Force of Impact?
I was dealing with a problem which stated that two objects were moving with same velocity v and one was a car with mass m and another a truck with mass M, such that M > m. They collided and came to a halt. Their collision lasted for 1 second. Which experienced a greater force of impact?...
Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?
Another one is close to biting the dust. Sci-Hub is out, Z-Lib got ran off like a dog and now IA is going to remove a host of books because these publishers just can’t stop being money-hungry bastards....

Where are all of the reddit refugees these days?
Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
Internet developments have gone from exciting to dreadful.
Idk if this is the right community for this conversation, but it’s been on my mind and I want to share it with someone....
Is this true?
Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox’s Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That’s their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email...
I love Nightwish, but I wish more of their lyrics made sense.
A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don’t actually have any coherence. Creek Mary’s Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish’s lyrics don’t....

Is there no way to index discord chats? Is Matrix a viable discord alternative?
I was going through this wonderful thread lemmy.ml/post/4540882 and found many of you talking about discord as it’s a crime against knowledge for not allowing indexing on it. I think we are talking about indexing by search engines like DDG and Google here and I know that discord questions don’t show up in search results and...

What are the creative games of today, like 3D Movie Maker was?
I remember playing with 3D Movie Maker extensively. Me and my mate would make shitty movies usually ripping off James Bond or Indiana Jones....
Friday Fread: How's it looking today - and for the weekend?
Should be a fairly normal day for me today, some hedge-trimming and so on in the garden on Saturday and then my SO is arranging a mystery trip for Sunday. It’s been postponed twice so far and I have no idea what it is.
Rewatching Avatar and Avatar 2 on blu ray
This week i’ve decided to rewatch the avatar films on blu ray. I picked up the special editions with the 3 hours worth of extras for each film. I’ve rewatched the first film and some extras. I’m a casual fan at best and by no means a movie critic, but here arey impressions....
Pulsar alternative idea
For those like me interested in the Pulsar brewer, I am considering trying a similar poor-man’s setup based on the Oxo compact cold brewer. It also has valve actuation for blooming, and you can sandwich a standard aeropress filter in after its metal filter but before the valve for a cleaner cup. The only catch I can think of...
What are your upvote/ downvote habits.
I just realised I hit upvote on just about every single post and most comments kind of instinctively, meanwhile think like 5 mins before downvoting....
Bizarre problem today: I was force subscribed to a Logan Paul podcast and I can't unsubscribe.
I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it’s a Logan Paul podcast. I’ve never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think?...

Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life?

Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.
I mean why 5, why 5 on each limb, why not 4 or 6. Why do our feet also have 5. Whats with our body being so symmetrical....
Ripping Audible Audiobooks
I have a large audible library I would like to backup and make available for other audiobook apps that use less battery. I’d like to maintain as much information and structure as possible. I saw a self hosted solution for audiobooks I might try to implement as well....
Are you able to read in your dreams?
I ask because it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t but I regularly have dreams where I continue books I’m reading irl (they usually devolve into naritive nonsense over time and then sometimes to blank pages, but the actual text is definitely deciferable), text messages, computer screens, and road signs, in both...
