[Question] With Whatsapp having to become interconnect-able due to DMA, are there any known messenger apps which are planned to be interconnected with Whatsapp?

With all the news, I couldn’t find the information. All I know is from a Lemmy user who said Signal stated they won’t connect with Whatsapp. I really want to swap off a Meta-owned app, but cannot lose access to the people who use Whatsapp....

People born on Leap Day, do you celebrate your birthday on February 28th, February 29th, or March 1st?

Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

What if a meteor hit us now? What happens after that?

Not one big enough to cause another great extinction, but small enough to just turn a whole small country and parts of neighboring ones into a huge crater. Will the people who was evacuated out after NASA stated a warning try to rebuild the country after everything has settled down or do they’d become citizens of another...

Is There An Instance For Handbrake? (Video Encoding Software)

I need some help with Handbrake and HDR not encoding on AV1 SVT, 10bit and NVEnc. I haven’t been able to find an appropriate instance to ask about it so I figured my pirate buddies might be able to help me find a place.

Chef pro tip

What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income?

Problems running *arr stack on Raspberry Pi

Hello everyone, I have a Raspberry Pi 4B with 2GBs of RAM. I am trying to run all the *arr stack via docker containers(5 or 6 containers) but this causes my Raspberry Pi to lag very much. I could not use any of the stack’s web interface or SSH to the pi during the lag and to fix it I had to reset the pi....

Sarek's mindmeld with Picard makes no sense. He should have done it with one of his Vulcan aids who would have been able to help more and handle it better. Thoughts?

Though it makes for better TV to have Picard.

How do you get rid of "wet dog" smell in a dishwasher?

This is a thing with every dishwasher I’ve had, some models seem better than other. You wash the dishes and when they dry, they have a musty odor I can only describe as “wet dog”. Other people often don’t seem to notice this, so maybe I am just sensitive to it. Though if I point it out, then they smell it....
