  • Anti-snoring solutions that actually worked for you?

    Sleep on back, snore, but no rotator cuff syndrome.

    I hate being old.

  • People who work in research often have their whole life built around their specific field of research, to the point where their transferable skills and knowledge are minimized or excluded. Financially, they’re usually dependent on the institution they work for to a far greater degree than most professions are, which is part of why tenure exists. They also—but certainly not always—are neurodivergent. Their area of research is necessarily something they’re passionate about.

    I can totally see this happening. There’s a lot going on in the world right now. Many people are experiencing extreme anxiety about world events they don’t have power over.

    Being personally bullied by the government specifically about the work that is tremendously personally important would be devastating.

  • I think a moderately competent lawyer would be able to build a case. Of course, it would get tied up in court for a while, but protecting IP is a big part of IP law (more on trademark I think, but IANAL). The C&D should have been sent a long time ago. It’s possible that this is a department that’s “moving fast and breaking things” and higher-ups said no to the license. In no way should that be considered to excuse the behaviour.

  • What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?

    Jump

  • This depends entirely on what you want to run. A pihole needs vastly different resources than for example offering jellyfin to 20 simultaneous users. Both can be hosted at home.

  • “Devastating blow”: Ohio company will no longer develop transformer production plant in the Ohio valley that was bringing in over 600 jobs

    Jump

  • Ohhh maybe they need steel from one of their plants outside USA?

  • Without giving the tangerine tyrant any credit, is it not possible that they took this opportunity to blame tariffs for idling the plant? With strong unions, companies do need to fish more when their reason amounts to “our profits are down 0.01%”. To me, that’s what this sounds like.

  • I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.

    Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.

    Jump

  • It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.

    It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.

  • How many hours of deep work/deep focus a day is doable and sustainable?

    Jump

  • I’m lucky to get 4 hrs a day of focus time. I know that for others it can be a lot more. However, ADHD hyperfocus is a thing and may be what these Internet people are referring to

    The people who say they work 60+hr weeks for long periods of time are inefficient and are lying to themselves.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • The key with the shelvador is that there’s no overlap between door shelves and interior shelves. You can stuff the fridge right to the brim and close the door. Too many refrigerators now have an overlap, so you need to reserve space from the fridge to allow the door shelves space. It’s not a matter of placement, just the door shelves are too deep (or interior, depending how you look at it).

    They voted for Trump and their green-card son is in ICE detention

    Jump

  • The use of the term “South Georgia” is somewhat confusing to someone familiar with South Georgia, given the Trump Administration’s use of detention centres outside of the USA. The article states that the couple drove from North Carolina so I assume the author is referring to the southern portion of the State of Georgia.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • Most modern refrigerators. They have tons of features (ice makers, water dispensers, screens) that are unnecessary.

    But what gets me really going is the shelving, specifically door shelving. Most manufacturers have moved to clear polycarbonate for the “wall” around the shelf which is specifically not recommended for shock loading. For example, the load that is applied when the door closes and the condiments slide into the retaining piece. To get a fridge with metal means upgrading to a luxury model.

    And don’t get me started on the fact that door shelving overlaps with interior shelving. Go look at a 1940s Shelvador and learn how to build a proper appliance.

    Frankly, most appliances bother me:

    • microwaves have UI issues, but I do like Panasonic’s genius inverter line.
    • stoves have too many features and electronics. A true commercial style stoves without gadgets and gewgaws to break is hard to find for home use.
    • so many dishwashers simply don’t clean dishes. Modern ones (imho) get too hot
    • Most washing machines are way too rough on clothes.
    • what the fuck is even with dryers? If people in the UK hang their clothes to dry, you can too (tropical climates may be an exception). Thankfully heat pump dryers are becoming a thing.

  • Those working from say 1970 to 2000, did you notice a change in office tempers as lead poisoning wound down?

    Jump

  • That corresponds with the period people quit smoking so the anecdata may be affected (by people on short fuse because of nicotine withdrawals). An increase of women in the workforce may also be a potential factor (either way).

  • Jellyfin / Remote Access Help (windows)

    Jump

  • Jellyfin has a pile of security issues regarding unauthenticated enumeration of the media that’s shared. That’s probably not awesome on the public internet. 

    I’d suggest setting up Tailscale. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

  • Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup

  • Between Electron apps and this nonsense, 64GB won’t be enough for Excel in 3 years.

    (Not the Excel workbooks that should be databases, I mean the 10kb ones with 1 table and a few equations.)

  • If all your basic needs were met and you didn't have to work to get by, what would you do with your life?

    Jump

  • Build things, well, until I get tired of it. The ADHD is strong and I hate fine finish work.

  • What is your favorite way to Jazz up cheap ramen?

    Jump

  • Bok choi, Sriracha and a crispy fried egg.

    And some MSG if it can take it.

    Aside - any broadly available alternatives to Huy Fong? I know they fucked their supplier, and I’ve heard it’s not the same anymore.
