Seeing all this bad and negative things going on the internet let's change the pace, what is something that's good and you're excited for?

Good news, everyone!! Microsoft outage this morning in the UK. The tickets are streaming in…
Do people become less of a twat as they age?

New community - Men’s mental health
I saw a lot of chatter in a mental health thread about wanting an area for men’s mental health. Having had my own issues I thought I’d create a space and hope for the best on its growth. I’m not much for words so here it is...
OPNsense virtualization
I’m working on setting up my first homelab. I have an older dell optiplex with a duel PCIe NIC in it. I was wondering if I could setup OPNsense as a docker container or virtual machine so that I could also use the extra resources of the box for other things besides just being a router. Is this a good idea?
Can I view a list of the communities of a lemmy instance while logged into my own?
For instance I know i can navigate to lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] to see the “daystrominstitute” community at startrek.website, but is there a way where I can see all (or even just the most popular) communites at startrek.website, while still logged into my lemmy.ml instance (so i can just hit the subscribe...
Worst Holiday Experiences
Both my kids are sick. Both have colds. My eldest has a recurrence of pinworm that didn’t show it’s head until 11pm last night and ultimately resulted in me sleeping (badly) on her floor. Then, as we finally pull away from the hovel of disease that is our house, my drivers side front coil spring snaps and hey presto, we no...
Outer Wilds and BOTW/TOTK
(edit: vague spoilers for outer wilds + dlc!)...
Have you ever gotten scammed, package stolen, or been a victim of fraud in any way?
I just got my package of new earphones from Best Buy, and the box was fucking empty. I mean there is the box and instruction manuals and charging cable, but the actual earphones aren’t there. They’ve used Shipt (which is like a doordash but for packages) but the box was inside another layer of packaging which was supposedly...
Bitwarden or Proton Pass

TIL What Haze is. Fine dust, smoke, or light vapor causing lack of transparency in the air
Maybe I never paid attention or maybe it’s the first time we’ve had wildfire smoke in my city recently, but I had been so confused at the “fog” and “clouds” despite it not being fog or clouds but Haze.
What is the best place to get to know more about the game without getting completely spoiled?
There are moments when I do not wish to continue playing a game but still wish to learn about the game and the things that happened in it so far. Sometimes the story becomes too confusing or I forget that one in-game tip that is needed to beat the game, which is when I am forced to research on that topic else the rest of my...
Origins of the Name "Lemmy"
Hello!...
Lack of Security with Oracle Cloud
Let me preface this with this was a dormant account with no instances set up, and I put it into place maybe 4 or 5 years ago while getting into the Self Hosted space. I don’t recall if I had MFA setup, but don’t think I did as it was a test space. In fact, I forgot I even had it up until now....

Why do most gaming laptops have vents on the bottom?
If you’re using the laptop as intended (i.e., on your lap), wouldn’t those be almost entirely blocked?
GPU for 4k Transcoding in Jellyfin
I’m starting to get more and more HDR content, and I’m noticing an issue with my Jellyfin server. In nearly all cases, it’s required to transcode and tone map the HDR content. All of it is in 4k....

Is it worth paying the reaminder of my car loan off?
I got my car (2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE) new 3 years ago at $25k for a 6 year loan @ 0% interest for entirety of loan, $350 a month payment. I’m about halfway paid off and have about $12.5k left on it. What should I do? I just get sick of paying $350 a month.

Are there more themes that support a plethora of apps?
I know that Nord, Catppuccin and Dracula support a range of apps. There is also Solarized and Gruvbox which have been ported by the community to many other apps....
Would a cat-toy laser pointer distract a pilot in broad daylight?
A few months ago I got into an argument on TikTok about this. Some guy posted a video where he pretended to shine a laser pointer at a plane during the day, along with his mugshot and a news story about getting arrested for it. It was clearly a joke/photoshopped because the news story said it happened at midnight....
Just tried with my Webbrowser and it is just bad...
I was considering deleting my account and just wanted to take stock of my post history and pm history....
