No bones about it, this is a good meme.

Looking for games with unique core mechanics

I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:...

I hadn’t heard of a few of these and they sound really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

One Week by Barenaked Ladies is a mindfuck, as is REMs It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine).

I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.

I’m kidding obvs

This is great advice, and to the OP, don’t feel bad. You’re really not an IT person of any caliber until you have experienced when I like to call the “Production Incident Experience”, or PIE. IT work is a job with unforseen consequences and hurdles, and we’ve all run into them at one point or another.

This being a learning experience, do what we’ve all done and learn from it. Now you can set up logging, whatif, sandbox instance, whatever you have to do.

You’re on the road to becoming a good programmer - just learn from your mistakes, do your research on best practices, ask intelligent questions, and in no time at all you’ll be writing one of these posts yourself.

I got lemmy.fan just a few months ago. I wanted a short, memorable TLD that stood out a little.

Belle! Stop saying “I do declare” for your constants! It’s not valid syntax!

Random Acts of Senseless Violence was a good read.

Those are the worst best games. When I’m home sick but ambulatory I love to waste my time on these.

I have bought two laser printers in fifteen years. I got a Canon to replace the slow Brother MFC. I’ve lasted years on the toners I bought after the starter toners ran out. Toners never dry out and they don’t have the same print quality issues that ink jets have.

Anyone using an ink jet printer for anything other than printing photos onto photo paper is wasting tons and tons of money.

help: var folder on ubuntu won't stop filling up

I’ve had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I’ve had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I’m now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I’ve used commands sudo apt clean...

This is how my friend fixed her check engine light. Just put the official Car Talk electrical tape over it and problem solved.

How resource intensive is the federation part of running a lemmy server?

I ask generally out of curiosity. I was just thinking that as big social media fractures, old school isolated forums might become “cool again”, and that one of the achievements of lemmy might be as a nice platform for simply running a forum for whatever community you want all without needing to worry about federation....

The Lemmy Easy Deploy script available at GitHub supports Arm64 in theory. In practice, some required binary refused to run on my Pi 4 so I think it’s still a WIP.

I am running it in a VM now, using Linux and Docker.

I loved this game and have always had a sweet spot for it. The first time I played was in my sergeant’s room in Korea. I was playing it the night we were deployed near the DMZ to secure a 113 that had gone off a bridge.

But seriously…

After spending all week installing Lemmy and trying to make it happy, I was losing my mind. I’ve finally got everything but pics working. I plan on troubleshooting it this weekend.

I’m being sarcastic, kind of. I wasn’t sure if I was going to stay a Lemmy fan amidst the painful set up - even with Docker compose and following all of the instructions, I was struggling to self-host it.

I am still a Lemmy fan and I understand that I should do less complaining and more contributing, so I am going to write up my experience getting it running once I get the pictrs stuff working. I love the federation and want to help it thrive.

Funny that you say that: my first problem was of my own making - I was using arm64 hardware and Lemmy doesn’t quite support that architecture yet, so I ended up getting a Synology myself this week. It’s awaiting disks and then I plan on moving Lemmy to that box.

Thanks for sharing that site - I’ll make good use of it once the drives get here.

The instructions worked out, but the troubleshooting steps need to be fleshed out more. Again, probably my issues, like DNS. I learned a lot though.

Thanks boss, I’ll check that out. Appreciate you sharing.

I’ve got the DS923+. It’s replacing a very old but very functional QNAP that I’ve had for years. Alas, QTS or whatever the OS is called is slow and clunky and after using our DS920+ at work I made the decision to get a Synology.

I dunno, not being able to turn off the sound is a deal breaker for me.
