  • Watch out for direct injected cars, which is virtually all of them now except for electrics. Many don't have traditional fuel injectors in the intake manifold anymore, and because of poor PCV systems, oil vapor carbonizes on the intake valves, causing problems. This is generally around the 40k-50k mile mark, potentially sooner if people don't drive their cars on the freeway for extended periods after startup. Some newer cars have addresses this by adding supplemental fuel injectors in the intake (some audis, some Toyotas) but it's not a widespread practice, of it will ever be.

  • More Teens Who Use Marijuana Are Suffering from Psychosis
  • Is it the cause of the psychosis, or making it surface earlier than it would have naturally?

    30 years ago, I was partying with some friends when an older sibling came to us in tears begging us to not smoke pot with his younger sibling any longer. Their sibling was in their late teens/early 20s and started showing early signs of schizophrenia, that I did not personally see until later and it was clear that things were not ok. It's always stayed in my mind.

    My own older sibling was a hardcore alcohol addict before they died, and I suspect they started using because of their uncontrolled bipolar disorder that started surfacing in their mid 20s.

  • Trump told European leaders that US ‘will never come to help you’
  • Because the Allies didn't do the needful in mass murdering all of the right wing civilian and military leadership after WW2, and we're getting what we get now because all of those people lived to fight another day.

  • I'm so frustrated rn.
  • Install Ubuntu and be done. I'm able to print to my brother network printer with no special drivers. I installed a gnome tweaks package to do some minor tweaks in gnome, and I did rip out the Firefox snap thing to install Firefox from a package so I could use my kpxc plugin, but that's the only major change I made. Hell, Dell (laptop) even provides firmware updates via the package manager so your bios gets updated properly. Best Linux desktop experience I've ever had over the past 5 years and I've been daily driving Ubuntu since 2004.

    how do playlists work?

    Let's say I've got 100 episodes of NOVA. I've added one episode to a playlist about a certain subject, and there's a bunch of other videos in that playlist about that subject.

    I go into the playlist and click the play button. This is the play button on the playlist, not the individual video in the list.

    My expectation is that the next video it plays is the next video in the playlist. However, repeatedly, it plays the next NOVA video instead of the next video in the playlist.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Clarifying: it finishes the first video in the playlist, but then continues on to a video that is not in the playlist.

    Nextcloud zero day security

    What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?

    I currently leave my nextcloud exposed to the Internet. It runs in a VM behind an nginx reverse proxy on the VM itself, and then my OPNSense router runs nginx with WAF rules. I enforce 2fa and don't allow sign-ups.

    My goal is protecting against ransomware and zerodays (as much as possible). I don't do random clicking on links in emails or anything like that, but I'm not sure how people get hit with ransomware. I keep nextcloud updated (subscribed to RSS update feed) frequently and the VM updates everyday and reboots when necessary. I'm running the latest php-fpm and that just comes from repos so it gets updated too. HTTPS on the lan with certificates maintained by my router, and LE certs for the Internet side.

    Beside hiding this thing behind a VPN (which I'm not prepared to do currently), is there anything else I'm overlooking?

    Can I expose my Nvidia gpu to the lan via a docker container?

    I have a P400 in my storage server which currently also runs some media containers like Plex, sonarr-sma, radarr-sma, Jellyfin, exploring Immich, etc. I have the GPU surfaced via docker and added it to each of the containers that needed access to the GPU for hardware acceleration needs. Is it possible to be able to leverage the Nvidia gpu container remotely (over the lan) without having the containers access it (pseudo) directly? I want to move the media handling containers to a Turing Pi 2 and keep just the GPU access on the storage server.

    Anyone done this? Got a set of repeatable instructions? My understanding is that the root docker image needs to switch from alpine to ubuntu and that hasn't happened yet.

    Running multiple activitypub services on single domain
    lemmy.world is it possible to run pixelfed on a domain that already runs mastodon? - Lemmy.World

    I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com [http://pixelfed.example.com]. However, I also run mastodon.example.com [http://mastodon.example.com]. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have ...

    How do you configure your webfingers to support multiple subdomains that host AP services?

    Edit: looks like someone filed this issue. If you have a GitHub account, please thumbs up/bump it!

    So how do I get started with Godot?

    My background is backend development with Java and Kotlin for the last decade. I have a little bit of HTML/JS experience but I'm not a pro. I would like to build a modern Sierra game, of sorts.

    I have no problem investing the time, it just seems overwhelming to jump into and while I've looked at a couple of tutorials, I still seem a bit mystified by the process.

    I'm interested in multiplayer design and function twofold, as I'm intrigued at both how to make it work efficiently and the reasons some game companies claim their game servers cost millions a month to run and have to shut them off (looking at you, Gun Media).

    • Discoverability?
    • Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
    • Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
    • Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)

    Housing for resistor?

    I have some metal film 1/2w 2.2ohm resistors in some car wiring. I'm concerned about the durability of this install and am seeking advice on how to protect the resistor once it's soldered in place. The obvious is heat shrink tubing, but it's there anything more substantial?

    I'll be using these resistors in a custom pigtail that will plug into the car wiring. 3D printed housing? I have tried searching and I haven't found anything like that.

    Webfinger and multiple Fediverse services on a domain

    How does this work? How do you host pixelfed.domain.com and mastodon.domain.com together in the same domain, with queries for "@user@domain.com" to the webfinger host path?

    I'm other words, how does the querying application know which resource it needs? How do you know that a pixelfed instance will get the pixelfed resource versus the mastodon resource?

    server down for several months, can I just reinstall?

    Do I need my original signing keys? The server ran out of space due to huge pgsql table size, and I don't feel like trying to salvage any part of it. I want to move most of the processes into my home infrastructure with maybe a vps in front of the public connectivity.

    Doable?
