Hi!

Is there a way to consolidate cross-postings?
I see a lot of the same posts across several communities.

Can relate. Am I secretly a Finlandian?

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.

Good luck trying to enforce that. Most people lick a small wound on their hands an fingers. It's our subconscious that triggers that.

An alternative is plain old school irc. I'm not kidding.
Connect to irc.irchighway.net then /j #ebooks then !search <author and/or title>
Receive search results via xdcc which gives you the commands to download that stuff.
Or query one of the bots (e. g. @bsk) and get a list of hundreds of thousands of books that are available and search that for what you want.

I prefer that over ad infested one click hosters with countdowns, link shortener cascades and captchas. I find and get the stuff much faster by using irc.

Hi fellow selfhosters!

What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.

I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox

Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.

I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.  
 
 

Now let your pants down and tell me all about

your embarrassing host names!

he FCC chairman said Europe's regulations against US firms are "excessive" and "incompatible" with American values.

What values? Greed?
There are some extremely greedy Europeans no doubt. But the most of us pursue a happy life instead of a rich life.

He believes that these laws (...) are suppressing free speech in the EU.

These laws are there because companies feast on them illegally. Is this dude fit being the chairman of the FCC if he can't get that right?

It remains to be seen how the US administration will choose to defend Big Tech against the numerous lawsuits in the EU.

They can do exactly one thing: Nothing. The judicial branch of the EU is completely independent from the other branches, unlike the SCOTUS. Our judges don't care about what nonsense Trump is spouting.

But Amazon has no problems with the sale of adult toys? Hypocrites!

It just popped up in my mind.

  • You could decorate any room as you like. You don't even need to step out of it most of the times.
  • Other people can be projected inside it like Voyager's doctor.
  • Also rooms could be much smaller. They only need to be big enough a human(oid) can fit inside.
  • In emergency cases most holograms can be shut off to match increased energy demands by weapons and shields. You only really need seating/bed and a (non-exploding) console screen.
  • Much of the specialized rooms like a bar, med bay, etc. won't be needed anymore as a holodeck can imitate all of them.

It irritated me a bit that a Discovery gets fancy floating warp nacelles but holodecks are... wait, does Discovery has a holodeck? I don't remember seeing one.

Moin zusammen,

ich bin mehrfach über Posts gestoßen, die eigentlich nur aus einem Link und gelegentlich einem Vorschaubild bestehen.
Ich verlinke so was mal nicht; ich denke, jeder stolpert des öfteren selber darüber.

Ich persönlich finde das ziemlich dünn. Ist Lemmy nicht dafür gedacht, einen Ort für Diskussionen/Austausch zu haben? Einfach nur einen Link zu posten, halte ich ich für nicht ausreichend, um eine Diskussion zu starten.

Ich schlage daher vor, dass jeder Post wenigstens drei Stichpunkte oder drei Sätzen beinhalten muss.
Natürlich kann diese Regel nicht für jede Community gelten. Es gibt ja bspw. Coms., wo nur Bilder gepostet werden, da will kaum einer was schreiben.
Vielleicht ergibt so eine Regel auch wirklich nur für Posts Sinn, die "nur" auf eine Webseite verweisen.

Ich finde es halt nur nicht gut, wenn einfach nur ein Link hingeklatscht wird und es dann: "Sieh zu," heißt.

Wie seht ihr das?

Grüße!

While I don't think it's possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against 'his' country.

Why building something on it instead of converting it into a park? People love green stuff, you know.

There will be a price to pay for past decisions

Yeah, that price is that no sane economy will invest in Russia as long as they are scum. They have proven that they don't care about contracts, sovereignty, territorial borders and human dignity.

Clothes made in Germany (www.trigema.de)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
  • 100% made in Germany
  • uses yarn from Germany and Europe
  • uses cotton from Germany, Austria and a certified family business in Turkey
  • environment-friendly and sustainable production
  • you can book a factory tour to see for yourself how they produce their stuff
  • their products are not that much more expensive because they last much longer

I (only) have one shirt by them. I was a test buy and it worked out. After several washes that shirt is still in good shape. The shirts from the far east would be too damaged to wear by now.

In university we were taught C programming. We started with simple things like loops and stuff. After a while the topic processes, threads & stuff came up and of course we were instructed to use that.

In the computer lab there where only thin clients so everything actually ran on the server.

A good friend of mine - not know what was about to happen - entered:

while (true) {
    fork();
}

Astoundingly it took a whole minute until the server froze. 🤣
That was the same server most of the school stuff ran on. So nearly everything went down. 😂
He got scolded by the sysadmin the next day but nothing serious happened.

Hahahahahaha. Doesn't he realize that the original Nazis would have refused to call him a human? They'd call him ape just because he's black.

Anyways don't travel to Europe with that shirt. You'll get beaten or jailed the moment you step out of the plane.
