My new overnight job unfortunately comes with a mandatory 1-hour lunch break (sitting destroys my back, and I’d also rather be earning money if I have to be there anyway), so I end up looking at random shit on my phone. I forget where I saw it, but I recently got reminded of those apps that let you completely catalog your...
Programs like paperlessngx do a great job for cateloguing and indexing documents. I would like something similar for tagging personal photos and videos. But I would think the idea behind paperless would generalize relatively easy, and there would be something like paperless thats more general purpose and not just for documents.
You could technically make paperlessngx work, since you could catelogue photos, for instance. But it’s not flexible in the types of tags you can assign to it.
Something like metabase baserow, like a database client with quality of life UI features, might also work for you. You could build your own table for articles of clothing, name the tags you want, and even add images inline with each row.
EDIT: sorry, not metabase. I meant baserow⋮ baserow.io
For the third time in less than a year, film studios with copyright infringement complaints against a cable Internet provider are trying to force Reddit to share information about users who have discussed piracy on the site.
In the first instance, US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler ruled in the US District Court for the Northern District of California that the First Amendment right to anonymous speech meant Reddit didn’t have to disclose the names, email addresses, and other account registration information for nine Reddit users.
Film companies, including Bodyguard Productions and Millennium Media, had subpoenaed Reddit in relation to a copyright infringement lawsuit against Astound Broadband-owned RCN about subscribers allegedly pirating 34 movie titles, including Hellboy (2019), Rambo V: Last Blood, and Tesla.
In her ruling, Beeler noted that while the First Amendment right to anonymous speech is not absolute, the film producers had already received the names of 118 Grande subscribers.
She also said the film producers had failed to prove that “the identifying information is directly or materially relevant or unavailable from another source.”
This week, as reported by TorrentFreak, film companies Voltage Holdings, which are part of the previous two subpoenas, and Screen Media Ventures, another film studio with litigation against RCN, filed a motion to compel [PDF] Reddit to respond to the subpoena in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.

I was banned without warning for posting ontopic content to c/Tenforward, the mod locked and removed my post without giving a reason, so I made a second post asking why and was banned for “drama”. There is nothing in the rules about drama nor my original post which was just a screenshot of Star Trek....
You were given two warnings. When you first made a post questioning why it was removed, and on your second post questioning why it was removed. They were locked and you were given multiple reasons by myself and other mods.
You were banned for abusing the report function and using it as a super complaint button. This can be seen in the modlog where there is a screenshot of you doing exactly that.
Your original title was that of another users name on a different instance. You were actively causing drama. You have been told this now 4 times. This was directly proven with more screenshots in your second post.
You know, I think you’re just kind of a troll just trying to stir shit up for no reason.
First of all following me here to continue harassing me is not ok.
You were given two warnings.
I was given ZERO warnings, the post was quietly removed with no reason given. In my second post a mod only said “drama” which is not against the rules, and locked it before I could even ask for clarification/defend myself.
You were banned for abusing the report function
I reported three other posts that were more “drama” than mine including one from a mod. That’s hardly “abusing”.
Your original title was that of another users name on a different instance.
As I pointed out there was a post on the front page doing the exact same thing, and in a post sticked to the top of the instance. There was clearly nothing rule breaking about that. Also I changed the title.
You were actively causing drama.
Again, “drama” is not against the rules, you just personally didn’t like it.
<p>When it comes to purchasing pre-owned fashion items online, the physical attractiveness of the previous owner and the racial similarity between the seller and buyer appear to play crucial roles in influencing consumer decisions, according to a new study published in the <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2023.114083"><em>Journal of Business Research</em></a>. The findings highlight how these factors significantly reduce perceived concerns about cleanliness and increase the likelihood of purchase.</p>
<p>The fashion industry has been witnessing a transformative shift from outright ownership to a model of collaborative consumption – a way of sharing and redistributing goods that has gained popularity with the advancement of online platforms such as Depop and Poshmark. Researchers have long studied the economic, environmental, and social benefits of this shift. However, a deeper understanding of the barriers preventing consumers from embracing this model, especially in the fashion sector, remained underexplored. This gap in knowledge led researchers to embark on this novel study.</p>
<p>“My research has revolved around the phenomenon of collaborative consumption (e.g., renting, thrifting, swapping), which promotes the recirculation of goods and the reduction of waste. My fascination lies in exploring the concept of contamination perception that arises during the exchange of shared items, and I’ve been studying various factors that may amplify or diminish this perception,” explained study author <a href="https://design.umn.edu/directory/naeun-lauren-kim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Naeun Lauren Kim</a>, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.</p>
<p>The research was carried out in several steps. Initially, a pretest involved 34 female undergraduate students who helped select fashion items and images of sellers for the main study. They rated seven fashion items (coat, shirt, skirt, jacket, dress, pants, and handbag) on how much they would be in contact with the body and also rated the attractiveness of eight female model headshots. A shirt, having the highest degree of body contact, and a handbag, with the lowest, were chosen for the study. Similarly, images rated highest and lowest for attractiveness were selected.</p>
<p>For the main study, a fictitious company named ‘Fashion Connect’ was created to avoid any biases from existing brand familiarity. The researchers developed a mock website for this company, showcasing fashion items at price points similar to those on real platforms. The study participants, American women over 18 years old, were recruited through MTurk, a platform for sourcing participants for various tasks. The researchers managed to gather 242 valid responses from these participants.</p>
<p>In the main study, participants were shown different scenarios involving the sale of the selected fashion items (shirt and handbag) by sellers varying in attractiveness and racial similarity. The women then rated their likelihood of purchasing these items using a series of measurements, such as perceived cleanliness and purchase intention, on a seven-point scale. The study also included variables like age, income, and education level as controls.</p>
<p>The researchers found that items associated with an attractive previous owner were perceived as cleaner and were more likely to be purchased compared to those linked with a less attractive owner. This effect held true regardless of whether the item was a shirt or a handbag, indicating that the level of physical contact with the item did not significantly alter these perceptions.</p>
<p>Additionally, items sold by a racially similar seller were viewed as less contaminated and had higher purchase intentions than those from a racially dissimilar seller. Like the findings on physical attractiveness, the impact of racial similarity did not vary with the type of item, suggesting a broad applicability of these influences across different product types.</p>
<p>These findings provide valuable insights into the psychological factors driving consumer behavior in the online secondhand fashion market. The influence of the seller’s physical attractiveness and racial similarity on perceived cleanliness and purchase intentions challenges traditional assumptions about consumer concerns in the sharing economy. This knowledge can be invaluable for businesses operating in this space, offering new strategies to enhance customer engagement and trust.</p>
<p>“The concept of contamination has been generally associated with negative connotations and reactions,” Kim told PsyPost. “However, this study uncovered ways in which contamination can exert a positive influence on consumers’ perceptions of the object. Specifically, the factors of physical attractiveness and racial similarity of the contamination source (i.e., the previous owner of shared items) were identified to create a positive contamination effect in the secondhand purchasing context.”</p><div class="addrop-wrap" data-id="64749"><p style="text-align: center;">

<p>Despite its revealing insights, the study acknowledges certain limitations. The sample was predominantly Caucasian and female, suggesting a need for more diverse participant pools in future research to understand broader consumer behavior patterns. Moreover, the study was conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, a factor that might have since altered consumer perceptions about cleanliness and contamination in online shopping.</p>
<p>Future research could explore additional variables that might amplify these findings, such as lifestyle congruency between the seller and buyer or the duration and frequency of item usage. Understanding male consumer behavior in this context also presents an intriguing avenue for exploration.</p>
<p>“Other variables, such as non-physical attributes of the seller (e.g., lifestyle congruency), might contribute to magnifying the positive contamination effect,” Kim noted. “To overcome limitations associated with the study sample, which is predominantly female and Caucasian, collecting new data that encompasses greater diversity is recommended.”</p>

My current setup has my DHCP + DNS on my Unifi USG. However, as I have all my apps hosted on a different server (unifi, plex, home assistant, NAS, etc.) I’ve ran into issues trying to get things set up....
DHCP is a really stupid* service for the most part. Unless you are working with multiple subnets or have some very specific settings you need to pass to your clients, it’s probably not worth it to manage it yourself. I don’t want to discourage you though! Assigning static IP addresses by MAC can be extremely useful and is not always an option on routers. If you want static names and dynamic addresses, that is really where you need to manage both DNS and DHCP. It really depends on how and where you want names to be resolved and what you are trying to accomplish. (*stupid as in, it’s a really simple service. You want it simple because when DHCP breaks, you have other serious issues going on.)
Setting up your own DNS is worth its weight in gold. You can put it just about anywhere on your network (before your gateway, after, in China, whatever.) and your network won’t even know the difference if setup correctly. You can point BIND at the root servers and bypass your ISP completely if you want. ISP DNS services suck ass, so regardless of you resolve yourself, or forward all name queries to your anon DNS server of choice you have a really decent level of control on your network. It is the service to learn if you want to keep an eye on where your network wants to talk.
Your Unifi USG must play nice with your own server, by the laws of DNS. There may be some nuances when it comes to internal protocols like WINS, but other than that, it should be just fine.
I would setup a simple VM somewhere first, to answer your actual question. It’s good practice to keep core services isolated on their own, dedicated instances. This is to speed up recovery time and minimize down time. Even on your home network, DNS and DHCP are services you do not want going down. It’s always a pain when they do go down.

According to SAG AFTRA, the deal will “enable Replica to engage SAG-AFTRA members under a fair, ethical agreement to safely create and license a digital replica of their voice. Licensed voices can be used in video game development and other interactive media projects from pre-production to final release.”...
I’m torn, because on the one hand, the logistics of constantly recording new lines for minor stuff is really annoying. Imagine you’re playing a live-service game that really needs a certain balance patch, but that balance patch is reliant on a very slight change to a voice line (for instance, reducing the time it takes for a character to perform a special attack. To take an Overwatch example, maybe a certain archer is voicing his ultimate ability too quietly). Having to call someone in just for that is costly and unproductive.
But, we’re talking about delivering the source of someone’s work and livelihood (as well as all their creative influence, exaggerative tones, and delivery) into an algorithm. The line where it would go beyond convenience into worker-reduction efforts is going to be hard to draw.
I would rather that the voice actor retains the rights to their voice, even if it’s put into an AI algorithm. Thus, if the developers want to make a small change to a voice line, they still need to get approval for some AI-generated correction - and the actor would have the right to say “No, that one sounds terrible. I’m only going to agree to re-delivering this one myself.” Similarly, actors could approve limited sets of explicitly-defined live AI usage, for instance pronouncing the player’s name. Granted, some companies would become annoyed at actors being too inflexible, just like they have disagreements with actors today.
I’m definitely worried about too much signing-over of voice identity. I think it’s very easy to cut humans out of the equation that way, which not only damages the health of the industry, but also reduces creative output.

It’s an issue that could be solved within lemmy where communities with the same name should be able to merge and show each others content.
This is bad idea though, unless if it’s an optional feature that the users themselves choose to activate (e.g similar to multireddit, but you don’t have to manually curate the communities yourself). Imagine the same community from two opposing instances (e.g. blahaj and hexbear) somehow got merged by default. That would be an absolute shitshow. Also, how would moderation work? Those communities often have different moderation rule. Can mods from one community remove posts from another community with the same name? This would also be an absolute shitshow.
In pure C things are a bit different from what you describe.
Declaration has (annoyingly) multiple definitions depending on the context. The most basic one is when you are creating an instance of a variable, you are telling the compiler that you want a variable with symbol name X, data type Y, and qualifiers A,B and C. During compilation the compiler will read that and start reserving memory for the linker to assign later. These statements are always in the form of “qualifiers data_type symbol;”
Function declaration is a bit different, here you’re telling the compiler “hey you’re going to see this function show up later. Here are the types for arguments and return. I pinky swear promise you’ll get a definition somewhere else”. You can compile without the definition but the linker will get real unhappy if you don’t have the definition when it’s trying to run. Here you’re looking at a statement of “qualifiers return_data_type symbol(arg_1_data_type arg_1_symbol,…);” Technically in function declarations you don’t need argument symbols, just the types, but it’s better to just have them for readability.
Structs are different still. Here you’re telling the compiler that you’re going to have this struct definition somewhere else in the same translation unit, but the data type symbol will show up before the definition. So whenever the compiler sees that data type show up in a variable instance declaration it won’t reserve space right away but it has to have the struct definition before compilation ends. This is pretty straightforward syntax wise, “struct struct_name;” (Typedefs throw a syntax wrench into this that I won’t get into, it’s functionally the same though)
One more thing you can do with variables during declaration is to “extern” them. This is more similar to function declaration, where you’re telling the compiler “hey you’re gonna see this symbol pop up, here’s how you use it, but it actually lives somewhere else k thx bye”. I personally don’t like calling this declaration since it behaves differently than normal declaration. This is the same as a normal variable declaration syntax with “extern” tossed in the front of the qualifiers.
Definitions have two types: Function definitions contain the actual code that gets translated into instructions, Enum, struct, typedef definitions all describe memory requirements when they get used.
Structs and enums will have syntax like “struct struct_name {blah,blah,blah};”, typedefs are just “typedef new_name old_name;”, and function definition “qualifiers return_data_type symbol(arg_1_data_type arg_1_symbol,…) {Blah,blah,blah}” (note that function definitions don’t need a ; at the end and here you do need argument symbols)
Lastly, when you create a variable instance, if you say that you want that symbol to have value X all in one statement, by the standard that’s initialization. So “int foo = 5;” is declaration and initialization. Structs and arrays have special initialization syntax, “struct foo bar = {5, 6, 7};” where the numbers you write out in the list gets applied in order of the element names in the struct definition. You can also use named initialization for structs where it would look like “struct foo bar = {. element_one = 5, .e_two = 6, .e_three = 7};” This style syntax is only available for initialization, you cannot use that syntax for any other assignment. In other words you can’t change elements in bulk, you have to do it one at a time.
C lets you get real wild and combine struct definition, struct instance declaration and initialization all into one! Though if I was your code reviewer I’d reject that for readability.

Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform running on the fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. It is an open source alternative to other link aggregator services like Reddit. The initiative...
Melroy, lead dev, is the kind of person that if you don’t take his “advice”, he goes “fine, my way or the highway!”. He used to be a part of Lemmy dev supposedly. Then he was part of kbin dev. Then he tried to just make his own instance. Then when that didn’t work he started Mbin(which, if you haven’t realized, is named after him - Melroy Bin). Dude is pathologically egotistical.
Which is EXACTLY this. Melroy(Mbin dev), was a Lemmy dev that was “ignored”, then he was a kbin dev who was… “ignored”. But then he ran his own instance, which was again, ignored. So then he started Mbin, which of course he named after himself(Melroy Bin). In between each of these attempts, he’d go to numerous communities and post long rants trying to call out the other devs about how terrible everyone else was and how no one is listening to his brilliance and he’s the One True Savior of the fediverse.
Dude is pathologically egotistical and is exactly the kind of person I don’t want admining anything.
No, the actual problem is that you aren’t learning. Nor are you trying to. I literally just explained to you that there is a difference between Communism and communism. And what that difference was. Your only response. Sadly to cling to the same propaganda canard.
There are no communist countries. Therefore, technically all of them are free and technically all of them are not free. Because they don’t exist. Communist countries on the other hand are socially very unfree.
I truly hope you are not a programmer despite posting from a programming themed instance. If on accident you are, my sympathies to whoever hires you. Because you show the inability to differentiate between a variable name and a variable type.
I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of the fediverse and repurposing it toward the goal of creating a free and open, decentralized, federated network of vendors that run instances or groups of vendors that run one instance together. These instances would broadcast inventory updates to each node that they federate with....
In terms of the trust problem, one easy way to solve it would be to just require real names. Instance admins (maybe also moderators) must post an address, a name, and a (redacted) ID. A registered corporation would also work. Then, they would provide escrow, taking the payment but only giving it to the seller once receipt has been confirmed. The concern would be fraud on the part of the purchaser. There’s no foolproof way to fix that, but if both buyers and sellers have “reputation” scores it would be pretty easy to tell if someone’s lying.
The admin could also skim 1-2% off every transaction, and then put that into a fund to pay buyers in the case of complaints. That way both the seller and buyer are satisfied, and reputation scores can be used to boot probable fraudsters.
Either way, the system would also allow buyers and sellers to arrange payment in-person, in which case there would be no guarantee needed and the admin wouldn’t take a cut.
This system centralizes power in a small number of people who can be sued. Everyone else stays anonymous, and if they’re bad actors the admins deal with them. If an admin is a bad actor, their name and address is posted publicly for the world to see. Obvious problem here is that fewer people would want to be admins, but maybe it would be possible to set up a corporate structure where the owner’s identity is revealed only if they’re being sued – I’m not a lawyer and you’d have to talk to one. Maybe there could also be a way for them to post records of every transaction in a verifiable yet anonymous fashion, to prove they aren’t skimming anything off the top (beyond whatever they say they’re taking for server fees).
First, I’m not your friend. It would be embarrassing to even be mistakenly associated with you. Second, the things wrong with the list are most of your points are just your opinion or things that have no proof or weight. But it is telling that in order to come up with a sizable list, you eat the need to include superfluous bullshit points. I mean, you really find the number of women he’s had kids with troublesome? Or that he has inserts in his shoes. Nevermind the flat out lies in your list. For instance, can you name the multiple officers that were murdered on Jan 6?
I’m looking for some advice on setting up a retro gaming system for my son. He absolutely loves the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and some Atari classics like Frogger. The problem I have is he is autistic, which leads to two very different issues to solve. First is he loves to tinker with things. Which I don’t mind, and actively...
If I may add a different suggestion: have you considered hacking one of the old consoles that you have/can buy used to enable retro gaming? A used Wii or Wii U for instance have great wireless controllers available, especially used Wiis without the games and accessories are dirt cheap. The process is very simple, just do a quick google. Basically, hack an old console, load the ROMs you have, get an appropriate wireless controller (8bitdo makes A LOT of compatible wireless gamepads), and you’re good to go.
Here is an example, for the Wii U, though the Wii is probably even easier (but SD)
You could also get the games using the virtual console offerings for the Switch if you don’t want to mess with ROMs. I know the switch has that adapter thing that holds the nunchucks in a ‘classic controller’ gamepad form. Even very old consoles sometimes have great retro gaming or homebrew options, the classic Xbox to name one example.
All in all I think this would be the fastest and maybe even cheapest option.
Also, kudos for nurturing the love of video games in your son.
