Carighan , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Ouuuuff… either?

Depends on context?

Depends on writing?

Difficult to really say what my preference is. “Well written”, I would say. Believable, but in the context of the fiction, so if the fiction is a magical fairyland, then a believable romance would be utterly idealistic. Etc.

I use Prometheus and grafana at home because i use it at work, so I’m familiar with it

technically correct

Mora , to selfhosted in Why Prometheus + Grafana over other monitoring options?

Part of self hosting is to decide yourself what you want or need.

I am very happy with Beszel (github.com/henrygd/beszel) as it is enough for my use case.

That being said compatibility is huge in the GrafProm Stack. A lot of software has Prometheus compatible end points which can then be visualised with Grafana.

Want to know how many requests are hitting your server? Count Diamond blocks mined per player on a Minecraft server? Want to track your weight and workout time? Or do you want to count yellow cars driving by your house? Grafana & Prometheus got you.

One with the sunglasses looks very real. Hope I’m not turning into one of those mannequin fetish people cause she’s kind of cute.

Luckily with free software there’s always a choice.

BradleyUffner , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

3rd option. I’m not excited about the 9, but I’m sticking with the Pixel 8 I already own. I’ll upgrade to whatever Pixel number adds enough new features to justify the cost.

nublug , to technology in Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)

fighting for bitcoin to get an emoji is stupid, but fighting against it might be even stupider. surely there are more important things to spend your time and energy on. it’s a fucking emoji. who cares?

smallpatatas OP ,

normalizing scams, by laundering their image via standards organizations, pollutes our communications environment. Both an emoji and a petition are symbolic - and our symbols are in fact important.

CeeBee_Eh ,

Bitcoin isn’t a scam. All non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies are scams.

People often hear about stuff like coins that are pre-mined, or proof-of-stake and the schemes and scans that come out of those, and immediately associate Bitcoin with the same thing.

shortwavesurfer ,

That is also not 100% true. There are several altcoins with fantastic utility. Monero and Ethereum come to mind.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Exactly. Most cryptocurrencies are scams, but a handful are fantastic. Ethereum is cool for being proof-of-stake (so no high-energy mining), and Monero is cool for being super privacy-oriented. There are a handful more, but honestly, if you stick with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero, you’ll be fine.

shortwavesurfer ,

That’s pretty much exactly my thought. I hold a very very small amount in Polygon, but only in order to pay the gas fees for the Polygon network. So I never have more than a few US dollars worth in it at a time.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Yeah, I basically just do Monero, and I use it as a spend account and use it anywhere it’s accepted. I don’t invest in any cryptocurrencies because I don’t think cryptocurrencies have positive expected return (it’s all hype), so I keep the amount of crypto I have small.

CeeBee_Eh ,

I wouldn’t argue with that. I was mostly generalizing.

Ethereum has scam characteristics though. The creator Vitalik gave himself time to mine it alone before giving public access. He secured for himself quite a nice stash

shortwavesurfer ,

That’s true. I suspect the application programming is the only reason that it actually took off.

glassware ,

Of course bitcoin is a scam. It’s a “currency” you can’t spend anywhere. It’s only purpose is a pump and dump scheme for early adopters.

0x0 ,

It’s a “currency” you can’t spend anywhere.

You could’ve at least pretended to have done some basic research…

CeeBee_Eh ,

It’s a “currency” you can’t spend anywhere

Lol

It’s only purpose is a pump and dump scheme for early adopters.

This is exactly what many alt-coins are but Bitcoin is decidedly not.

You’re confusing “easy to mine” with “early adopter scam”.

reksas ,

millions of people who use emojis would constantly see it. It would slowly start to feel more familiar to them and increase its acceptance. If that works, others would try to do the same and we would have every and any company put their logos in. If it doesnt then it doesnt matter that much, but i dont want to risk yet another avenue for corporations to worm into peoples minds.

Personally i dont care about emojis at all but i do care about general mentalspace.

interdimensionalmeme ,

It would create legitimation and that could further increase its popularity

bjoern_tantau , to asklemmy in if 2 Bad products are offered and most Customers decline to buy into them. What will the Jobowner do ?

But seriously that depends on many factors. Nobody would order more. First action would be to get rid of the stuff by lowering prices or throwing it away. Or if it is too late they would declare bankruptcy.

jake_jake_jake_ , to selfhosted in Why Prometheus + Grafana over other monitoring options?

one of the reasons you see these as separate is because of the amount of modularity you get with grafana, you don’t always use it with prometheus, sometimes with ELK sometimes Influx and Telegraf. If you intend to set it up outside of the “typical” you start to really appreciate one piece doing one thing, and doing it well.

'Cos the bros don’t deem Icinga cool enough.

chevy9294 , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I’m using Arch because you start with nothing and you can make any system you want. I have disk encryption, btrfs as a filesystem, secure boot with my own custom keys, I’m running self-build kernel, I’m using apparmor and I can use any program from AUR, etc. Thats my personality. Things that you can’t see but are important to me.

On other distros some of these things would be very hard to do. Especially without Arch Wiki.

snrkl , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

They run GrapheneOS Wonderfully…

Bitrot , to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

Outside of the meme, the only people who make it their personality are generally younger and less experienced users who feel extremely empowered and proud by doing anything useful on the command line. Not like those users on Ubuntu (which they just switched from) who install stuff from a store like losers, nuh uh.

Before Arch you had the same type of people on Gentoo feeling superior because of use flags and watching hours of compiler output, after switching from Mandrake.

tobogganablaze , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

No. I sometimes even report them as spam just because they opted me in without asking. Report all the spam.

4am ,

“Opting you in without asking” is the literal definition of spam.
