  • How screwed are you?

  • I can’t wait to visit Starfleet Medical to get my back and stomach fixed, live in a post scarcity utiopia, see other worlds, and study whatever I want.

    EDIT: I think the worst thing will be contemplating the metaphysics of transporters. But maybe I’ll just never take one.

  • Thanks, I hate it.

  • I grew up in one of those places. It was a town that anyone from a real city would think of as tiny, but was seen as the "Big City" in the area: population of around 35k, by far the largest in a several hour drive. I left when I graduated to go to college and have never returned from more than a holiday break to visit friends and family. Some of my friends and family left and some stayed. Everyone who stayed... well, it hasn't worked out well for them. They all ended up with dead end jobs in a dying town, hoping for the boom times again that will never come. They've become bitter, paranoid, and fearful of the outside world. The last time I was there, in 2021, was so damn sad. The town is so run down, there is a bad meth problem, and everything just felt despondent. Yeah, the town has chosen to do it to themselves in a lot of ways and I wouldn't be part of this community if I didn't enjoy at least some schadenfreude, but I also have to wonder how will those 35000 people, and their kids, ever have a chance at a better life?

  • Why doesn't Lemmy have a back button?

  • Thanks for the explanation! It makes a lot of sense.

  • How do you find having the navigation buttons in the middle? It seems like it would be a bit harder to hit them?

  • Why doesn't Lemmy have a back button?

    Jump

  • Because your browser has one. Why would you need a second?

  • Is there a scripting language for building logic gate logic?

    Jump

  • This is exactly it. The various *HDLs are explicitly written to create systems of logic gates.

  • You really should watch Lower Decks. It’s a lot of fun.

  • Divorcees of Lemmy, what was life like post split?

    Jump

  • Fantastic, actually. There was this giant weight off of me, I could focus on my self and my space, and I had this sense of freedom that I hadn’t had in years. Yes, the logistics of moving took work and there were intermittent periods where I would be angry or sad about something from the marriage but they were short and just the pain of healing.

  • Should i selfhost?

    Jump

  • As a point of reference, I built a 32TB Synology last year. I took me an afternoon to get it done, plus set up Plex media server, all the arrs and friends, a backup server and a couple other things. Since then maintenance has consisted of remembering to hit the “update containers” button once a month or so. I should probably automate that part but just haven’t bothered yet.

  • Should i selfhost?

    Jump

  • A lot of NAS are capable of hosting containerized services. The Synology DS series, for example, can run everything you’ve mentioned and so much more. For a relatively gentle into check out https://mariushosting.com/

  • I recently moved, so not as well as at my old house which had solar and a whole house battery. We had several times where we lost grid power for a few days and it was annoying but basically fine. I had to turn off most electronics but we could keep the fridge and other important things going. The oven was gas so and I had a propane grill so cooking was sorted.

    Now I’m in a five plex where everything except the water heater is electric and I don’t have my grill. I do have a small camp stove and a few fuel canisters. Mostly importantly I have a big camping battery and solar setup to run our CPAPs and keep the phones charged, plus a weeks worth of camp foods in our emergency bin. So, we’d be ok enough for a week.

    EDIT: Water isn't big of an issue as you might think. In most places, municipal water will continue to work for several days from gravity alone, and often has its own backup power systems or is on a different supply from the city. At the old house we also had a backup 55 gallons in a long term storage drum with treatment tablets and a calendar reminder to swap it out on schedule. I never ended up using the water in an emergency but it's cheap insurance.

    Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?

    Jump

  • Same here. I’ve never watched broadcast or cable TV since I moved out of the college apartments. But I’ve gone in and out of watching shows, whether they were normal tv shows on dvd, YT series, streaming, or shows from 🏴‍☠️. And I’ve always got my news from the internet or local papers when they still existed.

  • I once worked for a small company that was based around using a patented variation on this. It works really well and creep can be basically eliminated by using multiple counter-tensioned steel cables instead of rope and running a burn in process to let the tension settle evenly. You can even get an arbitrary number of rotations by extending the capstan.

    I think the main reason it isn’t used more is that assembly is more difficult due to needing to deal with winding the cables and a general lack of knowledge on how to do it well.

  • It is such bullshit that it works. It doesn’t fix everything but damnit it does enough that I have to keep doing it.
