Your thoughts.

(And to a lesser extent your actions, but that gets tougher to define since external factors will apply more there.)

azdle , 9 months ago to nostupidquestions in In the U.S., what exactly are we supposed to do when an ambulance, with its sirens on, approaches from behind?

The exact laws vary by state, but it’s always “get the fuck out the way, as quickly as you can while being as predictable as possible.”

I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to not stop (if that’s what you meant), but as far as I know, you’re not required to stop if you’re out of the way and not preventing anyone else from getting out if the way.

I had an AMD Phenom-II era motherboard that claimed it would be able to do that. OP, you might be able to find an old NIC/mobo that could do this for cheap.

This is about “fees” over and above the advertised “price”. So it says your plan is $65/month, but when you get your bill it’s actually $95 because there’s a “Cost Recovery Fee”, a “Network Maintenance Fee”, and a “Municipal Area Surcharge” (IIRC all real fees I’ve paid on an internet bill) on top of the advertised rate. They’re often meant to look like taxes, but they aren’t.

azdle , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why are prices of everything higher in cities?

Meat doesn’t grow in the suburbs either though. Plus if you’re buying meat at a major supermarket, it probably didn’t even come from your state anyway. Your proximity to the nearest cow doesn’t have much to do with how far your steak came.

Oh, right, this is the fediverse. (This is a Lemmy comment, FYI.)

@lucy, whatever happened to dataterm.digital? Is it ever coming back?

azdle , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in What happened to dataterm.digital?

This is their meta site: obeythesystem.com It doesn’t seem to list it. Neither does their network status page: biomonitor.cyberwa.re/status/network

I don’t know anything, but that seems to imply to me that it’s probably not coming back.

azdle OP , 10 months ago to selfhosted in Web Based Static Site Generator?

Ah, nice. I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!

Though, I think the git forge ‘backend’ + “Static CMS” frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I’m going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.

azdle OP , 10 months ago to selfhosted in Web Based Static Site Generator?

I’d personally like to not depend on infra like github, but I hadn’t considered just using the web UI of a code forge. That’s a good idea, I’m going to try that and see if I like it, thanks!

(Still interested in other suggestions if others know of things that are more fit for purpose, tho.)

azdle OP , 10 months ago to selfhosted in Web Based Static Site Generator?

Do you just use the gitea web editor for that? (I assume it has one right?) Does it provide a nice markdown-aware editor?

azdle , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in what's a reasonable sort for lemmy?

Just upgraded to 0.18.3-rc.4 and the Hot sort seems to be fixed now. (I’d guess Active would be too.) So, that now. Before I pretty much only used Top X Hours based on when I last looked.

Though, now that I’m looking at Hot, the communities I’m in definitely feel a whole lot more active.
