My PC has a i7-4790k overclocked to 4.5 GHz. It runs smoothly since I got it when it came out and it is still not a bottleneck in any of the games I play. But if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 I would need to buy a new CPU, new main board and new RAM, and it would not improve my gaming experience at all. It was my last machine running windows which I changed to Linux 2 months ago and I haven’t looked back.

What services do you think are worth letting them violate my rights to my personal information?

Oh yes please make Meta pull all their crap out of the EU. I can’t wait for it!

As wgbirne already said, the admin has more important real life stuff to do unfortunately. If I understood it correctly, the lack of storage also killed the database, leaving it in an inconsistent state. In addition to that there seems to be an issue with the backups so no easy rollback and probably a lot of manual fixing needed.

It seems to be an issue where ImageMagick filled up the drive, which in turn killed the database. After freeing the space, the database has now an inconsistent state and throws errors. It also looks like the db backups are corrupt. For whatever reason I’m still able to use this account through the Sync app.

I have these information from their matrix room https://matrix.io/#/#feddit:tilde.fun

Gamechanger for me was automation with home assistant. I attached sensors everywhere and wrote scripts that nag me with notifications on my phone. For example I have a smart wall plug where the washer is attached to. If the power draw first rises over a threshold it means, that I started the washer. If it goes below a theeshold that means it’s finished and it sends a notification. To make sure I don’t ignore it, I attached a door/window sensor to the washer’s door. So it reminds me every 5 minutes until I open that fucking door.

And I tried to identify as many situations like these as possible so it takes care of reminding me. It’s not perfect and many things are not feasible to automate. But it helps me a lot!

I’m not saying that rewriting he backend is a good choice, but for me specifically, I’d like Lemmy to be written in Java. Why? I’m a Java software engineer for nearly 7 years now and I’d like to contribute. Yes, I could learn Rust, like I did learn Go, C, C++ and other languages during my cs studies. But I really don’t have the free time and motivation to do that after I already worked 8-10 hours at my computer. If I could use my existing Java knowledge to quickly fix some small bugs or whatever, I’d love to do that. But the hurdle to learn a new language (including other paradigms and best practices) just to contribute to this one project is just too high for me.

I’m using Kagi for quite some time now and it’s awesome. But recently I was using a different machine and did not have my login credentials at hand so I used Google and holy shit I didn’t remember Google giving such aweful results. I was not able to find what I was looking for. Then searched the same thing on my phone through Kagi and the solution was in the first three results. So yes I also feel that Google search is getting worse.

I know it’s not the point of this post but holy cow is that an atrocious AI image.

Just because violet light triggers both red and blue receptors in our eyes, that doesn’t mean there is only discrete red and blue light hitting them. It’s just that light with 380nm to 450nm wavelength triggers both typed of receptors. So there is violet light.

I tried and I do not like it. I’m pretty lean but my thighs still rub against each other. This means I quickly get sore spots on the insides of my thighs when wearing a kilt. Especially in warm weather.

There’s an estimation done in Germany every year. And the result is always that only around 4% of the the people on welfare abuse it. Compared to the damage that is done to the state by clever tax evasion of super rich people, these are peanuts. But going after these 4% of welfare abusers is of course easier so that’s why they put a lot effort into it.

Es gibt Studien die zeigen, dass der Placebo-Effekt sogar Eintritt, selbst wenn man weiß, dass es sich um ein Placebo handelt. Ist natürlich kein Argument für Homöopathie und schon gar nicht dafür, dass der Zucker teilweise von der GKV übernommen wird.

I have a different password for each service I use. Each password is 30+ characters long and completely random with letters, numbers and special characters. There’s no way I could remember any of them and they’d be a hell to type out manually. I use KeePass on every device I own and it’s synced over my NAS. So it’s super convenient and no risk for leaks.

Hey! Nichts gegen meinen Micra :(

It does not make sense for me as well, but that might be because I’m used to pain that sits so deep, nothing is actually able to fix that in near future.

Yes, I think Beehaw for example has no downvotes (or doesn’t show them).

Stress. Ich bin sportlich und alle Werte sind sonst gut. Aber es ist trotzdem passiert.

Ja körperliche Arbeit ist natürlich noch mal was anderes, aber Bürojob ist nicht gleich Bürojob. Das wird oft nicht bedacht.

Ich hab durch meinen gut bezahlten Bürojob einen Hörsturz erlitten und mit nun 30 Jahren mein Gehör einseitig dauerhaft verloren. Das ist als Hobbymusiker nicht cool.
