  • Lemmy users across the world, what is your favourite local dish ?

    Jump

  • It's like spicy. If you aren't from the country, take it easy.

    For most foreigners, molecular-thin to start with.

  • I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.

  • I believe that's what dark energy is- the shortfall from not violating conservation of energy, given what we know about physics vs what we observe in the universe.

  • I'm not sure if this answers the question, but it might help.

    Everything in space is moving, but it's not expanding outward from a central point, like an explosion. Instead, the space between the things is getting bigger.

    The balloon analogy gets thrown around a lot, but I find it misleading- It's not about the balloon getting bigger, expanding outward from the center of the sphere. It's more about the surface of that balloon stretching.

    The rubber sheet analogy helps. Scatter a bunch of things on a infinite rubber sheet. Now stretch that in all directions - the things get further apart, but are not moving away from a central point.

  • Help Reviewing My Server Setup?

    Jump

  • I'm interested in why you chose the i5 for the automation, rather than the video server?

    I'm no expert, but things like transcoding (or even just re-encoding) take a lot of grunt, which it seems the i5 would be good for.

    The i3 would be good for more constant, lower power tasks like automation.

    At least, that's my thoughts, happy to be shown your reasoning..

  • Are 3D-printed objects waterproof?

    Jump

  • If it's non-critical, with a bit of work it can be made 'waterproof', at least at 1atm. But realistically, unless you need a specific shape, it's going to be easier and more reliable to just use an off-the-shelf case.

  • Do you use a macro keyboard for shortcuts? If so, what for and what size?

    Jump

  • I use an old Stream Deck- not the Steam deck- from Elgato. It's essentially a small touchscreen with a transparent button pad laid over the top, making for a fully programmable macropad with fully customisable screen-per-key.

    Not only can I have esoteric shortcuts, but I can also dynamically label them, depending on layer. I have a 'home' layer with icons representing each other layer. So, for example I can load up a video game, and press the corresponding icon on my macropad. It will then change the icons to match whatever command it does- various whistle commands in Ark, for example. I can then change programs into my CAD, and have the icons now be various shortcuts for modelling tools.

  • According to you, what happens when you die?

    Jump

  • But it's a really heavy feather.

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • Oh jeez, I hadn't even thought about capitalisation in the file extension. That would be especially confusing if extensions are hidden- the user would be presented with two files that look exactly the same.

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • But do I type 'ImportantFile', or 'importantfile'?

    As I understand it, if I searched for either of these strings in a case sensitive file system, I would not find a file called 'IMPORTANTFILE'.

    At best, a case sensitive file system makes naming conventions more complex. At worst , it obfuscates files. I just can't imagine a scenario where it would be helpful. Do you really see a need to have a file called 'aaaAaa' and a totally separate one called 'aaAaaa'?

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • So if someone tells me to look for a file amongst a long list, I need to look in two different areas- the uppercase and lowercase areas.

    I get why it's more technically correct to differentiate, but from the perspective of a human user, it's a pain in the ass.

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • Ascending order implies going from low to high

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • If I have four files, a.txt, A.txt, b.txt, and B.txt, in what order do they appear when I sort alphabetically?

    edit: I don't understand why this was downvoted?

  • UK police seize Cybertruck because it's illegal there

    Jump

  • For the curious, Tesla has never tried to get the Cybertruck listed as safe to drive in the UK.

    My assumption would be because they know it will not pass safety checks.

  • What's the best loophole you've ever found or learned about?

    Jump

  • That's genius. Love it, I'm using it for sure. Thanks!

  • The best Cloud backup in 2025?

    Jump

  • I have one in theirs, they have one in mine.

  • What are some things that everyone should try to master?

    Jump

  • I'm of the opinion that everyone should have two basic dishes absolutely down. A summer one, and a winter one. Simple is best- But perfect it. My winter one is a tuna mornay- Four (cheap) main ingredients and a couple spices. Took me quite a few meals to really get it to the next level, which was great, because it's still pretty good eating. Now, people ask for it, it makes winter gatherings nice and cosy, it's something I can whip up to impress a date, if a friend is going through some shit I can deliver a batch...

  • My little sister's use of ChatGPT for homework is heartbreaking

    Jump

  • Kids definitely need to learn how to do this stuff by hand, it's not like they are going to be walking around with AI in their pockets every day.

  • Oh my fuck, we absolutely would shave our tails, and there is just something so horrid about that thought that how I won't be able to fucking sleep, thanks, I hate it.
