baronvonj , to android in Jerboa currently unusable for other people?
@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it just crashes on startup for me so I switched to LiftOff. Don't think I'll go back even after lemmy.world goes to v0.18.

I thought I was having some paranormal firewall problem

JackHandy , to nostupidquestions in Why does the gas pump sometimes pump super slow?

I worked at a gas station about 20 years ago, so things may have changed since then. When our pumps started running slow, it was almost always due to the pump filters nearing their end of life. They would get clogged with the minerals and sediments in the tank.

Relaxxx , to android in What's your lemmy app of choice?

So far I’ve tried Jerboa, liftoff and wefwef. Being a RIF user for many years I feel Jerboa is closest to the UX but I am more comfortable with wefwef. Ask me again tomorrow as I will probably try other alternatives. This is like the good ole Linux distro hopping days when I tried over 30 distros before settling with KDE neon for the last 3 years.

son_named_bort , to android in What's your lemmy app of choice?

I originally used Jerboa. It was okay, but not quite what I was looking for. I've tried Connect and Liftoff and like those better. I'm waiting for Sync, as that was my Reddit app of choice.

ono , (edited ) to linux_gaming in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

I use a Plantronics headset. Sound quality is important to me, so I decided to try hardware from a company that specializes in voice comms. I found one on sale for a little more than the cost of two movie tickets.

I’m happy with my choice. My headset is smaller and lighter than any “gaming” headset I’ve ever seen, and strangers regularly compliment my mic clarity when I play team shooters online.

In case you want to try something similar, Jabra is another brand in that space.

mrginger , to selfhosted in Upgraded Proxmox 7 to 8
@mrginger@lemmy.world avatar

I did the same a few months ago and was extremely nervous. I have a 4 node cluster running 30 VMs in production. After migrating the VMS off of one node I quickly realized what a pleasure it was to do it. No muss no fuss. Migrated the VMs back and continued on with the other 3.

@blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk avatar

That’s pretty cool that it worked so well. Does migrating the VM’s result in any downtime or is it a seamless cross over?

I waited a few days before upgrading as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get stung by any teething troubles. Would have ideally waited longer but had an ideal few hours available to do it without the family being annoyed by any downtime.

applejacks , to nostupidquestions in ELI5 - So why exactly doesnt Biden expand the courts?
@applejacks@lemmy.world avatar

imagine creating a button that makes you win, but makes the process far more complicated.

now imagine, once you’re out of power the other guy can also push the button.

once pressed, neither side will ever stop pushing the button when in power.

@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Yep. If the goal is to de-politicize the courts, court packing makes it exponentially worse.

I mean, the GOP will start stacking once they lose the Supreme Court and win the presidency. It’s not if, but when.

0x0 , to linux in Is Systemd that bad afterall?

The traditional init systems suited me just fine, i saw no need to change them. If they were so bad, then they could’ve been fixed or replaced.

The migration to systemd felt forced. Debian surprised everyone with the change. Also systemd’s development is/was backed by corporate Red Hat, their lead developer wasn’t exactly loved either and is now working for Microsoft. Of course Canonical’s Ubuntu adopted it as well. Overall feels like Windows’ svchost.exe, hence people accusing it of vendor lock-in.

It’s not just an init system, it’s way waaay more. It’s supposed to be modular, but good luck keeping only its PID1 in a distro that supports systemd. It breaks the “do one thing right” approach and, in practice, does take away choice which pisses me off.

I had been using Debian since Woody, but that make me change to Gentoo on my desktop which, to me, took the best path: they default to OpenRC but you’re free to use systemd if you want to. That’s choice. For servers i now prefer Slackware and the laptop runs Devuan whenever i boot it up.

To be fair systemd hasn’t shown its ugly face in the Ubuntu VMs i’m forced to use at work.

YMMV. If you’re happy with it, fine. This, of course, is only my opinion.

Tagger , to nostupidquestions in ELI5 - So why exactly doesnt Biden expand the courts?

Non-american here so I could be wrong.

Because that would lead to a cycle of each party packing the courts everytime they gain office, massively politicising the judicial system and damaging the system of checks and balances currently in place.

IntegrationLabGod ,

This is more or less the argument you’d hear from a Biden supporter against packing the court. The counterargument is that the judicial system is already massively politicized so 🤷‍♂️

BitSound ,

Politicizing is one issue, the other issue is that where do we end up after repeated court packing? We will all be supreme court justices on that blessed day.

I don’t know that I actually agree with that but it’s at least a realistic fear.

sh00g ,
@sh00g@lemmy.world avatar

I think the issue is packing SCOTUS isn’t even a band aid fix to the problem. You’d have to completely overhaul the way the Court works to get a meaningful impact on the way it operates currently. I’ve seen ideas floated like expanding the judiciary and then choosing a certain number of justices randomly to preside over each case, but that is probably worse than our current system because you could end up with an even more radical Court presiding over a very impactful case.

Coelacanth , to fediverse in What communities are or aren't visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social?
@Coelacanth@lemmy.world avatar

I have also noticed this problem. Kbin is very new, and (as far as I understand) works a little different than Lemmy. It also doesn't have an API yet, and I suspect that this has something to do with the problem. Hopefully it will be solved in the future. It's a shame because Kbin is getting quite large so the poor sync is a very noticeable problem.

metaltoilet , to gaming in What games would you recommend for someone that only recently got into gaming?
@metaltoilet@beehaw.org avatar

I'm a diehard firewatch fan if you'd like a slightly spooky, heart full, storytelling masterpiece about the Wyoming forest. Everyone should play this game at some point.

I'm using the Massdrop HD6XXs. They sound phenomenal, IMO.
