What did they mean by this?
  • Weary and wary aren't pronounced the same....

  • Should I get a firewall appliance?
  • If you have a router, you already own one.

    Pointing a hostname to your ip doesn't do anything meaningful.

  • Server for a boat
  • I'd recommend avoiding spinning disks and going all ssd if possible.

    You can get 12v in atx power supplies.

    You may want to consider something like a Lenovo tiny with a few large ssds.

  • Palworld boss says a Switch version ‘might be hard for technical reasons’
  • That doesn't mean Nintendo is going to go grant a license to a game where you can enslave and kill animals.

  • Korean Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 Descends 21,000 Feet With 13 Injured
  • The flight was carrying 125 passengers, and the sudden change in cabin pressure caused health problems that needed treatment when the aircraft returned to Seoul. According to a report from South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, at least two passengers suffered nosebleeds, and 15 reported ear pain and hyperventilation.

    Jesus that sounds terrifying. Flying along at meal time, the masks drop, then the pilots have to nose dive the plane to a safe altitude.

  • HydroRide: These e-bikes do not require a battery and are just as efficient
  • Does not require a battery, just requires a hydrogen tank and generator. 🙄

  • A web app to easily transfer your user data from one Lemmy instance to another
  • Would be nice if it explains exactly what it does. Right now it's just a random web app asking for creds....

  • Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by up to 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding
  • Hmm, so sounds like they're moving the kernel scheduler down to a hardware layer? Basically just better smp?

  • Old timers know
  • Nope, no idea what it's like today.

  • Old timers know
  • Back in the day (mid/late 90's), there were private ftp servers that required a ratio. Some of these were run by release groups and hard to get on, some were more public. Couriers would download from one site and upload to another to build their ratio and get access to the good sites.

    Before people figured out you could connect two ftp servers together directly, you would have to download to your computer and reupload. Most people were on dialup, so that was a non trivial time commitment.

  • A tool on Linux to scan for inboxes on other mailservers?
  • This hasn't been possible for a long time. Mail servers do not typically reject a bad recipient immediately on the SMTP connection, they accept it and send a bounce email afterwards instead.

  • Networking Dilemma
  • I spent a year tracking down random afci circuit breaker trips, until I realized it was my powerline Ethernet. Never again.

  • It's Saturday, what have you watched this week?
  • Dark Matter.

    The latest episode was nuts.

  • Old timers know
  • Yeah you're totally right, I forgot about that.

    There was flashfxp too but I think that was a fair bit later. Revolutionized being a warez courier.

  • DIY hot / bath tub in shed?
  • You don't put soap in a hot tub. You'd end up with a backyard full of foam.

    You primarily put bromine in. I wouldn't dump it on your vegetable garden, but its not an environmental challenge.

    It's safe to water most plants with if you give it a day open to let the sanitizer evaporate out: https://texashottubco.com/can-i-use-my-spa-to-water-my-garden/

  • Old timers know
  • FileZilla isn't even that old school, cuteftp was the OG one afaik.

  • DIY hot / bath tub in shed?
  • Did you know you can buy inflatable hot tubs?

    You might see some brief downtime during the next hour or so, pictrs is currently upgrading its database.

    Edit: Holding off on lemmy as Blaze was nice enough to flag some new bugs - https://lemmy.ca/comment/9660430

    Edit: Pictrs upgrading taking longer than expected after the migration crashed, hopefully wrapped up soon!

    Finally Done! We're all ready for the new lemmy version now, maybe once a patch release comes out.

    Scheduled maintenance on Sunday Feb 18th at 11am PST - Now complete

    Hello everyone!

    I'm going to be taking the server down on Sunday to apply system updates, as well as migrate us to running across multiple lemmy containers.

    Currently we do a nightly restart of lemmy / lemmy-ui at 2am resulting in a 2-3 minute outage (visible on our status page). This change will make those restarts transparent so I stop getting alerts on my phone.

    I'm current planning on starting this at 11am PST on Sunday Feb 18th and will probably take about 30 mins.

    Edit: All done! We've upgraded to postgres 16 as well.

    Need someone to remove me as a mod

    For some reason I've been added as a mod of conan@lemmy.world, which I actually blocked a while ago. I can't seem to self remove myself, maybe a lemmy bug from me being on a different instance.

    Can a LW admin please remove me from that community?

    Lemmy upgraded to 0.19.2

    I've done a quick upgrade to bring us up to 0.19.2, which should resolve the recent federation issues.

    Heads up that on 0.19.2 admins also have the ability to now view up/down votes in the UI (rather than having to dig through the DB).
