You need 100 metric tons of paraffin wax. How do you aquire it?

2012 Ford Focus, 155K miles, it is leaking a decent amount of coolant when my partner drives it to work but doesn’t even leak a drop if I drive it to work. The mileage is the same but I don’t sit in traffic. Could the extra heat from sitting in traffic be opening up a pinhole sized leak in the coolant line?...

I frequently wear a pair of Bluetooth headphones paired to a computer. If I want to listen to something on my phone I have to re-pair the device to my phone....

Would installing an OS on an external ssd and booting into that to run pirated software while blocking access to other drives in your system or physically unplugging them be one way?...

So I just went and donated blood again and durring the recovery period it occured to me that it takes quite a bit of work for your body to regenerate that lost blood volume and the actual blood cells. Regrowing that many cells seems like it would be fairly energetically intensive. So how many calories does producing all those...

I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project. That being said I haven’t been able to find any resources on hw needed for this? If I have a raspberry pi 4b 8g with 128gb is that enough for just me using it? Do I need to pay for a cloud...

Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I’m not overly knowledgeable about them....

Title, I can’t switch to Wayland because of nVidia (and because I love Awesome WM).

Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you’d open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.

I got some google play credits that are expiring soon and have no idea what to spend them on.

Using the add game to desktop shortcut dosen’t work and only adds a broken badge and dosen’t really add it to the system, plz help!! NEW TO LINUX!!!

Things have been incredibly unstable there. Until things stabilise, they should force the traffic elsewhere.

Had an exchange of emails with someone, around 4-5 back and forth emails. He then told me that my last reply never arrived. When I forwarded that email again to him, he told me that actually the original reply arrived but landed in spam… he checked it after I forwarded the initial reply....

I have soon finshed all of The Expanse (which I have enjoyed immensely) and last month I finished Peter F Hilton’s Pandoras Star. While I enjoyed the second half of Pandoras Star, they (it’s a trilogy) are such heavy books with rather slow pace. One of my favorite reads last year was Recursion by Blake Crouch - it’s fast...

I saw that people on the dark web would sign their posts with a PGP key to prove that their account has not been compromised. I think I understand the concept of how private and public keys work but I must be missing something because I don’t see how it proves anything....

I have a suite of services exposed using a reverse proxy (npm) protected with passwords, but I’m always a bit nervous that username/passwords aren’t enough – is there a way to set up 2FA either on Nginx Proxy Manager side or on, e.g., the 'arr suite of apps?

This is a rant about dumb password policies enforced by some websites or apps. If you see these password rules forced to you, try to stay away if possible....

The recent post about what people are using for webmail got me thinking about a perhaps irrational policy I have with my own self-hosted software: I don’t install anything written in PHP, because I have this vague notion that PHP software is often insecure. I think I probably got this idea because years ago I saw all the...

I have an older i7 circa 2009, 16 gigs ram, and a gtx1060 with an ssd for os. I’m thinking either Pop!_Os or Nobara? Idea’s, what do yall think?

And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?

With that recent post about chrome os not counting as a distro of linux. It does bring a good question, what is a distro of linux?...

I’m trying to downsize from an aging gaming laptop to an ultrabook I can use for writing, web browsing, and JavaScript / Python web development. I understand an ultrabook will be a downgrade in the performance department, but I don’t need all the performance my current laptop offers....

Don’t use the hump word or it’s an instaban! Just kidding, I’m no mod, I’m just some guy, you know....

I recently posted about finding time to game as a parent and the community has provided a bunch of good suggestions. Thank you! After reading all comments, I think it really boils down to accessibility of gaming for the occasional moments of free time that I do have in my busy schedule. The ability to pick something up easily,...
