Numuruzero , to mildlyinfuriating in I just spend the last 30 minutes trying to remove a hair splinter... Ahhhh!

As a beard haver: them things are sharp when freshly cut. I experience this on a semi regular basis. Helps to soak your finger sometimes, then you gotta be careful not to break it when you pull it out.

nydas , to linux in Is there anyone who use Void Linux as daily driver?
@nydas@lemmy.world avatar

I use it as my primary home machine, running bspwm. I enjoy it, and find once configured it just works. Primarily web browsing, Kicad and OpenSCAD, and some Python development.

None_s , to gaming in What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

Outer Wilds

fen ,

I just break out into tears any time I hear the title menu theme.

None_s ,

Definetly one of the greats. We had an Outer Wilds group on vlemmy that was gaining traction, but the server dissapeared.

It happens all the time after I trim my beard. I end up just scraping the skin with a sewing needle dipped in alcohol and it takes 2 seconds to do. Tweezers dont work usually because the skin probably started growing back over it.

Dankenstein , to gaming in Instead of "casual" or "ranked" they should just have "play to win" or "play for fun."

I feel like we all just need to chill out when playing video games, it isn’t like anything we’re doing is important, has an impact on the world around us, or is meaningful in any way.

If I, an adult, went into a laser tag arena filled with a bunch of kids that are screwing around, not really playing the game, then I get angered about this, I’m the asshole and I’m the one getting kicked out of there is a problem.

I could say to these kids “we should focus and play the game” but they’re already playing the game, it would just be me that doesn’t like the way that they play.

Then, the only things that me being annoyed have achieved are: I’m no longer playing the game and enjoying the time I spend, I’m making the environment hostile and toxic, and I’m probably not having a good time for the rest of the day.

Easier and less stressful to not pay attention to what others are doing if it genuinely has no real impact on your life.

frog ,

Completely agreed with this! I actually avoid competitive elements in games, such as PVP in MMOs, because they almost exclusively have a hugely toxic community.

The one and only time I’ve enjoyed PVP is when an MMO was testing it on the public test server, and offered a reward for players who did at least one match. Because it didn’t matter if you won or lost, you got the reward for playing either way, it was just a bunch of people having a really chill time. If it was like that all the time, I’d do it more often.

It makes me wonder if the easiest way to get rid of the toxicity in online gaming is to get rid of all the points, scores, and prizes, so the only reason to play is because you enjoy it.

Dankenstein ,

I feel like competitive gameplay could be fun for everyone but the space would have to be well-moderated but not sanitized which, IMO, is hard to do with an online platform.

We used to have hella fun playing Mario Kart on N64 with the neighbors when we were kids but it isn’t like problems didn’t occur, they just got resolved quicker and we learned that it’s best to be(e) nice if we want to have fun.

In an online game, you’re probably talking shit for weeks before you get forcibly removed from the game for any length of time.

Edit: to add onto this, it isn’t like you’re seeing most of the people you play with the next day at work or school so there really isn’t much incentive to involve yourself in the game’s community.

Hazzia , to asklemmy in What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?

ITT people throwing out names of things with 0 mention of what they are or what they’re used for.

Like, I appreciate being to look at everyone’s recommendations, but man that’s a lot of googling

Leon ,

It seems evident that the effort put into a comment would mirror one’s investment in the topic. With these bare minimum answers I always assume the quality of the recommendation matches.

IntegrationLabGod , to mildlyinfuriating in I just spend the last 30 minutes trying to remove a hair splinter... Ahhhh!

Try using a piece of tape to get the hair out next time. That always works better for me than digging it out with tweezers.

Mr_Blott , to android in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

Everyone should be using Plantnet. The more we use it, the better it gets, and the more we know

Zebov ,

It might help to explain what it is if you want people to use it.

Mr_Blott ,

No

saba , to asklemmy in Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)?
utopify_org OP ,
@utopify_org@lemmy.ml avatar

Interesting, I had a similar idea to just link to a Mastodon/Lemmy thread in the blog article, saying “Here is the comment section!”, because I want to keep a static website.

saba ,

on my pelican generated website I have the rss feed of my mastodon account. I have a script that downloads & converts the rss and then pelican runs and regenerated and includes that on my site. Something similar might work with your idea for comments.

utopify_org OP ,
@utopify_org@lemmy.ml avatar

Can you show me the link, I am curious on how this look like?

saba ,

mastodon.sdf.org/ here’s a mastodon post I made about it and on my site you can see my feed on the bottom of the page: chven.us/profiles/sam.html

utopify_org OP ,
@utopify_org@lemmy.ml avatar

Looks really nice!

saba ,

If you decide to try the rss-to-html.py, let me know if you want some help or to see what I changed. I don’t know python well, but I did change a few things in it to get it to work right for me and to include the photos. Or if you come across anything else that does similar, I’d like to have a look at it.

utopify_org OP ,
@utopify_org@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks a lot.

I will only link to a fediverse post in the end of a blog article like “Here is the official comment section”, because I want to keep my blog as static as possible.

Desucombo , to selfhosted in Fiber Question

I’d go for single mode, since it’s usually the same price, if not cheaper. You’ll probably need a fiber splicing machine (and a couple or four splice protectors, depending if you use single fiber or duplex) and a splice box on both ends.

TheHolm ,
@TheHolm@aussie.zone avatar

Or just call a guy to do splicing. It is no longer elite job ( apt least in AU). They not charge more than electrician these days.

noja OP ,

Thank you! These responses are really helping me narrow down what I need.

VonVoelksen , to android in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

Sometimes I use termux and yt-dlp or ocrmypdf because its easy and much safer than those sketchy websites. Thats it.

dragnet ,

Also came here to mention Termux. It can be useful being able to ssh into devices and control them from my phone.

OptimisticPrime ,
@OptimisticPrime@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Try Seal. Its a standalone app for downloading with yt-dlp.

koinu ,

Seconded !

VonVoelksen ,

Oh, looks interesting. I`ll try it.

mfat ,

I use this: dentex.github.ioIt works very well.

techgearwhips ,

Yea I keep these 4 in a folder and they all basically do the same job.

Seal github.com/JunkFood02/Seal

DVD github.com/yausername/dvd

YTDLnis github.com/deniscerri/ytdlnis

Dentex dentex.github.io

And if I have any issues with those, then idm+ will get the download done for sure.

mfat ,

Does any of them encode audio to hq mp3 or flac automatically?

MrNesser , to mildlyinfuriating in I just spend the last 30 minutes trying to remove a hair splinter... Ahhhh!

I still feel the pain even though I already got it out 😕

Capwiz , to android in Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

Pixel 5. I love it. I really don’t want to update because this is the last phone with the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone

AAR ,

Using a Pixel 5 as well. Before that I had the OnePlus 6 for 6+ years before I decided I wanted a smaller phone again. While it at times still seems a little slow, it still works great. I replaced the battery about 3 months ago and it has a great battery life again. Running Lineage.

xerazal ,

Same. Google’s design has taken a step backwards since the pixel 5. Worse battery life, less ergonomic due to fingerprint sensor being in the screen vs the back, and their custom socs have very poor efficiency.

Unfortunately most phones are doing the in screen fingerprint thing now since it’s the cool thing to do.
