'Can’t be that good if I’m here."

Or, “better now that you’re here”

For me a sharp pains snaps me out of a panic attack or spiral sometimes

ceviem , to ukcasual in What are you playing Wednesday

I bought Hacknet on Steam the other day for just over £1, been playing that in bursts in between WoW and Diablo IV.

scholar ,

I really enjoyed Hacknet, definitely keep a notebook so you can keep track of things

ceviem ,

Probably keep a txt file on my 2nd screen just to feel 5% more hacker-y.

exu , to linux in What CLI apps you use to do common tasks like editing (pdf, audio, video, image) files.

You can also use ghostscript (gs) or the image magick convert with PDF.

I use rsync quite often and ssh as well.

here2fap , to linux in Can't figure out NFS file sharing

Basically, what you need for NFS is remote storage with, what’s called, an export (a directory available from outside of the host exporting it). And a client allowed to mount this export. NFS doesn’t really do security, you can add some (whitelisting, limiting users, read only export, etc.), but it’s not mandatory. I think this is a good tutorial

idunnololz , to selfhosted in What is your machine naming scheme?
@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

I pick a random adjective + noun. Eg. Reluctant otter

ChaoticNeutralCzech , to showerthoughts in If humans had 4 arms, we'd probably have some pretty wild musical instruments

Have you seen an organ? It’s basically several keyboards stacked on top of each other, including a single-octave one for your feet.

TwoCubed ,

Now imagine that, but stack a set of drums on top. Maybe even add 2 additional legs while we’re at it!

Pikmin, finished it on the weekend. It’s been a long while since I played the first one so many good memories came flooding back. I did rush the last level/battle so there were many casualties that day!

Shenmue 3, finally started my playthrough after putting it off for years now and so far so good. There are a few things that I don’t like already (stamina & food system…) but it’s good to be back in the world.

Minecraft Story Mode, playing this one with the kids and my youngest is loving it.

Pikmin! When I worked in a games studio in the early 2000s a couple of people played this religiously on the big screen. I wanted to, but could never get into it. Made me feel a bit sick, which thinking about it I now realise was probably the rear projection setup. Maybe I need to give it another go on the Switch.

And Shenmue! I am only about halfway though Shenmue 1. Played it on the Dreamcast. I feel I must try and get back into it. I think I have 1, 2 and 3 all playable on the Series X.

@B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

I’m playing the Switch version (which is the Wii update) so plays very well. Pikmin is one of those games that until you play it nobody can quite visualise it. It’s amazing but trying to tell somebody “I grow little flower creature people using an onion and then they follow me around and start fights…”

alokir , to nostupidquestions in Mastodon or Lemmy

I dislike Mastodon for the same reason I dislike Twitter. It seems to me like it’s more centered around individual people and what they share rather than building multiple communities around multiple things that interests me.

Sure, I can craft my own community, but then I have a feed where I only encounter posts from the same people, and chances are, opinions that I already agree with. It’s not as easy to switch from a tv show to programming, for example. Yes, hashtags exist but they don’t even come close to communities on Lemmy.

The worst part are the types of posts that only reiterate how stupid “the other side” is without seriously trying to understand their arguments. This is not only true about politics but many other topics as well.

SamXavia OP ,
@SamXavia@lemmy.world avatar

I pretty much agree, I find being able to flip between communities more useful than just having a feed of the same like-minded people, you explained it really well thanks.

kat ,
@kat@feddit.de avatar

I think you make a great point. It’s easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).

Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.

dan ,
@dan@lemmy.nope.foo avatar

You can make lists in Mastodon, eg to create different feeds with different types of people, it’s like having themed timelines.

But I still agree with you.

I think I’m leaning towards Lemmy.

canni , to workreform in Career advice: should I give this interviewer a second chance?

Depends on who the interviewer was? Would they be your boss or is it just with HR?

favrion OP ,

My boss.

Ejh3k ,

That doesn’t bode well to me. Seems like it would definitely lead to more issues down the road.

Synthead , to linux in Do you use an antivirus? Why, or why not?

The anti virus industry boomed because of operating systems that were exceptionally vulnerable to attacks. Simply visiting a website could install software. The root cause of this problem isn’t that a user didn’t run third-party software. It’s that the operating system was vulnerable.

After many years of neglect by operating system vendors, there really wasn’t much of a choice in how to be responsible if you insisted on running a vulnerable operating system. Therefore, the industry boomed and it became status quo for users of these operating systems.

Or you could run an OS that regularly fixes vulnerabilities.

joel_feila ,
@joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

plus if your someone that makes malware are you really going to waste time making a linux version of your malware or just stick to the windows version.

Synthead ,

This also assumes that Linux is vulnerable the same way that Windows is for the software, which is probably isn’t.

Piecemakers3Dprints , to cooking in homemade Cajun seasoning?
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

If you have access to bulk spices at your local grocery, try mixing the following to your own personal taste: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, mustard powder, chile peppers, cumin, celery seed. 🤘🏼

p.s. If you have a food dehydrator, try lightly charring some hatch chilis over open flame and then dehydrating them after they’re cooled. Grinding them into powder (+seeds = spicy) and adding that to your mix. 🧑‍🍳

@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

I never noticed before, paprika is bell pepper, onion powder and celery seed, It’s the Cajun mirepoix. Makes perfect sense it would be predominant in the seasoning.

@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for taking the initiative! I hope the fediverse grows large and diverse, that we may knock the corporate run sites out of the market and give the control back to the collective.

I’m curious though, why are the communities prefixed with “Lemmy?” Is it so other fediverse platforms know what platform it originated on?

LillianVS OP ,
@LillianVS@lemmy.world avatar

Lemmy Review is a play on words for me as in “Let me” but instead “Lemmy” It’s just a playful name above all things.

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Oh my goose, I didn’t realise that Lemmy could be read as “Let Me.” That’s so clever! I’m a sucker for puns! That was all it took to convince me, haha.
