What’s the worst date you’ve ever had, and why was it so awful?
  • Maybe, but I wish it wouldn't be considered "really nice" and instead just be called basic compassion. Compassion doesn't seem to be common enough to be a basic thing though 😕

  • What's that light?
  • Or iridium flares

  • PDFs
  • They want it as a word doc so they can edit it and fuck with it before passing it along.

  • What’s the worst date you’ve ever had, and why was it so awful?
  • I had one where she obviously wasn't actually interested and just came for the free food cause she was poor. I hung out for a bit, bought her an extra meal to go and then just left.

  • guhr....
  • Just remember the truth - there is no spoon.

  • Super Notendo~!
  • Nice job!

    Just an idea: I bet you could probably squeeze in a disassembled usb hub to make it easier to get those front ports.

    Something like https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNBftvQ

  • Is my proxy setup safe?
  • Picking obscure ports doesn't really add security, are you using authentication?

  • Where are my files from Windows 11?
  • Ahhh that makes sense.

  • Socks
  • I've got tons of their socks in a variety of styles and I've never had an issue.

  • Socks
  • Gotta get the Darn Tough socks. No more tossing in the trash, they have a lifetime warranty but they also last forever. After many years I finally just sent like 12 pairs in and got all new ones.

  • What's the most interesting or your favorite amino acid and why?
  • Lysine, because ingen tried to use it to control dinosaur populations.

  • 'Elsbeth' is the obvious spiritual successor to Columbo ive been waiting for
  • If you like character driven drama, The Good Fight is phenomenal. The good wife is decent, but you don't need to watch it first.

  • 'Elsbeth' is the obvious spiritual successor to Columbo ive been waiting for
  • I wanted to like Eslbeth... I liked her character in the good fight, but I found the new show too repetitive.

    Did you watch Poker Face? I think it was a much better interpretation of columbo

  • Arc’teryx’s new powered pants could make hikers feel 30 pounds lighter
  • That's pretty cool. I'm glad they offer a daily rental to just try them out, I'm curious what is like.

  • Joe Biden makes history with 12th Senate-confirmed LGBTQ+ judge
  • He's the first one to ever hit 12, so uh yeah, he made history.

    I'm surprised Trump had 2

  • Ken Ham has an idea about money.
  • If like me you don't know who this person is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_Encounter

  • Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning

    I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....

    Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.

    I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.

    Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

    Hexbear - Refederation?

    Recently I was asked if we'd be willing to reconsider federation with Hexbear, followed by CARCOSA reaching out to me to see if it was something we'd be open to.

    They made a post asking if their community was interested in refederating with us, similarly I'd like the opinion of our local users.

    Why refederate?

    Hexbear has a decent number of sizable active communities:

    • https://hexbear.net/c/games
    • https://hexbear.net/c/technology
    • https://hexbear.net/c/movies
    • https://hexbear.net/c/food
    • https://hexbear.net/c/vegan

    These all seem fairly well moderated, giving us access to more diverse posts and viewpoints. A lot of our feed right now is dominated by US centric communities, and it'd be nice to get some more variety.

    Why not?

    They love trolling and I don't expect them to follow our rules when commenting (primarily "be civil").

    Just looking at their thread about us, there's a significant number of immature replies slandering us / Canada. I'm not confident their users will engage in actual discussion in our threads, rather than just showing up to throw out insults and memes.

    We can try to handle this by banning users / blocking specific communities, but that's going to increase moderation workload for both admins and mods. Hexbear is self admittedly quick to ban users on their side, but they also don't mind ban evasion - not ideal for us.

    So what's next?

    This is where we solicit your opinions, how does our community feel?

    Edit: Well, it looks like the community is overwhelmingly against refederation. Decision made, thanks everyone for your feedback!

    Any way to find previously viewed posts?

    Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?

    I can't find anything in any menus.

    Lemmy.ca scheduled maintenance Saturday July 6th - Complete

    Hi everyone,

    We'll be undergoing maintenance on Saturday morning from about 11am - noon PST.

    We've been having some stability issues over the past few days that I've tracked down to database performance, so I'll be doing some tuning and also applying all our needed system updates at the same time.

    Cheers!

    Update: This is all done now!

    Pictrs upgrade - completed

    I'm in the process of upgrading us to the latest 0.19.4 release.

    https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

    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.
