What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
  • I stopped watching after the Head & Shoulders commercial

  • What's the worst invention of the 21st century?
  • those are 20th century

  • What Git library to choose?
  • I read through the docs of pygit2, how is it too low level compared to using direct console output?

    if you need complex workflows, couldn't they be built over the convenience of the library?

  • What Era was the best and why was it the 90s?
  • all good! :pixelated-hug-emoji:

  • What Era was the best and why was it the 90s?
  • I was taking about icon packs. I didn't know about the Memphis designers, thanks for the nice write-up

  • What Era was the best and why was it the 90s?
  • Windows/BeOS/MacOS 6 to 9

  • What Era was the best and why was it the 90s?
  • Every era is defined by the tools we had at hand during that process. While Memphis is basically pixel art, Y2K was defined by the gradient and mask tools on Photoshop, and Aero was a victim of skewmorphic design trends pushed by the commodity of 3D tooling. Flat design took prevalence because raster-based products felt weird when seen on retina displays.

    I wonder how design will be affected when AI tools become the norm.

  • What movie would you most like to watch for the first time again?
  • How to Train Your Dragon

    I still get that knot on my throat in the first flight sequence, that movie is perfect for me. I want to feel it like it was the first time.

  • If cats could talk, would we expect them to work and contribute to society?
  • Cats would be the ultimate streamers, they get to do nothing but laying on their gaming chair bed and get showered with money.

  • Side of bed debate - Which side is left?
  • but that would make beds the other way around in some countries

  • What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse?
  • why have just a community when you can have a whole instance

    e: oh jeez, the irony flew right over me

  • Jellyfin | "We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.9.0!"
  • that's cool and all but when are we getting Jellyfin for Tizen on the Samsung TV app store? That's the only thing stopping me from switching, I don't want to deploy it myself

  • Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy
  • and the partner still prefers Netflix, because they hate to think what they want to watch

  • Multi account addon for android?
  • In Android there are many alternatives to install multiple instances of apps, I think Samsung calls it "secondary copy", there's also apps like Parallel Apps, and App Cloner.

  • A good test to see if an alien race has a sense of humor would be to ask if they imitate each other's ways of speaking
  • oh, didn't notice that the implicit assumptions stopped at "meeting an alien race"

  • Preview ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Episode 504 With New Images And Clip From “Face The Strange”
  • if they say "Moll and L'Ak" one more time I'll have a aneurysm.

  • How do you Lemmings like your tea?
  • black, no sugar, no nothing, leave the bag in there until it talks or doesn't move anymore

  • Could you drink distilled water with a mineral pill
  • I asked a distilled water seller once, they say you can basically drink it because it's made from tap water, but they get to sell it with a margin because they don't have to be food grade certified, so they have to put a warning on the bottle. there could be a lot of nasty things in the distill process.

  • How would the future of internet have looked like, if web browsers had not existed?
  • there were many ways to use the internet before browsers, applications talked with other applications, people joined BBSs, but you could argue that eventually, you'd like to access text or media in a repeatable manner, you'd like to be able to point to those resources in the least steps possible (some way of universally locate a resource...), those resources will end up being referenced by other resources and you'd eventually end up with the web.

    the web is a side-effect of the internet

    Tried introducing my nephews to Pokemon TCG this Christmas, it was a disaster

    I gifted the Pokemon Battle Academy set this year to my nephews (both 9yo). BA is boxed like a board game, it has three decks, two basic decks which are pre-sorted to play a tutorial game, and one advanced unsorted deck, along with guides for playing both decks, a full game guide, coin, damage counters, and a board which guides you on how to play. I also bought them sleeves and a couple of boosters that I told them they could use later.

    I was there when they opened the box, told them about how I convinced their grandpa when I was their age to get me my first deck, and how I didn't play with anyone for a long time because no one in school had cards, and how lucky they were to have each other to play with. In the spirit of letting them do their Christmas thing, I told them "do you need me to teach you how to play?" they said they were ok, and I went to do other things around the house.

    15 minutes later I come back and all cards are basically scattered around the room. One of my nephews is negotiating to trade 20 cards of their pre-constructed deck for the holo that comes on the other's deck. The advance deck is nowhere to be found, it's probably now part of their mega deck. The board, counters, coin and guides are still in the box.

    They never battled, but all in all, they stayed trading cards all morning until they had to leave. One of them showed the other how to open their boosters the way youtubers open them (by putting the rare ones at the end for maximum content) and the importance of sleeving their holos.

    I guess collecting is more fun these days. I'm happy they found joy in that.

    Maybe we battle next year.

    Who's the next artist that should get a biopic?

    Cash grabs aside, I really enjoy a good biopic. I'm between David Bowie and Michael Jackson

    is there a way to prevent or alert in case a member is imported from within a module?

    Let's say I have the following structure: my_module/ __init__.py utilities.py

    and __init__.py contains

    python from .utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

    Is there a way to prevent or alert developers when they do

    python from my_module.utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

    instead of

    python from my_module import SomeUtilityFunction

    The problem arose when a few modules started using a function that was imported inside a module in which it wasn't used, while also being available on the module's __init__.py, so after linting the file and removing the unused import my tests started failing.

    any other advice for situations like this?

    is Jankom Pog design inspired by Neelix?

    I know that canonically, Jankom is a Tellarite and not a Talaxian, but I feel that his story's justification has a Tom Paris/Nick Locarno vibe, but I haven't been able to find any relationship on Google. There's a lot on Jankom that reminds me of Neelix:

    • Delta quadrant
    • Split nose
    • Hair, sideburns and eyebrows
    • Ears somewhat
    • Spots

    Also, I thought that Tellarites would look closer to what the doctor on Janeway's crew looked like.

    Is some writer not being paid for the creation of Talaxian on Prodigy?

    [Fixed][Bug?] Insert Link adds a ! symbol

    Insert Link dialog is inserting a ! symbol before the URL? which makes Boost not render it as a link, I don't know if that's the behavior on web Lemmy.

    Repro:

    • Start a new post or comment
    • Press the link button on the toolbar
    • Fill the form and insert the link
    • The resulting markdown looks like this:

    ![Some URL](https://example.com)

    If you press the preview (magnifier) button, it doesn't show as a link, and this continues after you post the new message

    The other thing is that both fields of the Insert Link dialog have the placeholder "URL". I know the icons are different but at first glance I found it confusing

    Trying to understand /comment/list

    I'm in the process of developing a bot. My intention is to scan all comments regardless of depth in a given community up to a certain date, so it receives only the comments made since the last request. I want to play nice so I'm also trying to do it on the less amount of queries possible.

    The community I'm testing this is fairly small, it has 40 comments total, but the problem is that when I request comments without specifying max_depth, and sort ordered by New, I receive only 10 comments, if I try to specify page, or limit, I get an error {"error":"couldnt_get_comments"}.

    If I don't specify page or limit, and set an arbitrary number for max_depth, like 4, I get the 40 comments I'm expecting.

    My question is: what's the correct way to request comments? My intention is doing something similar to an user pressing "Comments" on front of a community, like calling the community URL with params ?dataType=Comment&page=1&sort=New

    Mech Cadets - 10 de Agosto por Netflix

    Está basado en el comic "Mech Cadet Yu". Por el tráiler se nota que le cambiaron varias cosas a la historia, pero lo que más me dolió es que le cambiaron el diseño a los Mechs.

    Ojalá que aún conserve algo de la original. La historia es bien seria y emotiva (ha llorado leyendo cómics??).

    Películas sobre horror cósmico

    Hace tiempo, armé una lista de películas inspiradas en los libros de H.P. Lovecraft, curiosamente, he encontrado que hay muy pocas películas que tratan de ser adaptaciones directas de él, pero que logran enfrascar un poco de las mismas sensaciones que me causa el leer su trabajo. Pensé que sería bueno compartirla y ver si es que acaso me he estado perdiendo alguna joya del cine que ustedes me pudiesen aportar:

    • Event Horizon (1997): Paralelo al tema del horror cósmico, yo diría que esta película también está fuertemente inspirada por el lore de Warhammer 40.000, al punto en que siento que está situada en el mismo universo. Está en Paramount+.
    • In The Mouth of Madness (1994): La película, como varios de los relatos de HPL, comienza como el relato de una persona siendo tratada por su condición esquizofrénica, tratando de explicar hechos que son incompatibles con la realidad. Otra con Sam Neill que también aparece en Event Horizon.
    • Colors Out Of Space (2019): Una de las pocas adaptaciones directas de un libro de Lovecraft, traslada la historia a la época contemporánea. Harto body horror, harto Nicolas Cage. Está en Prime Video.
    • Prometheus (2012): Si pueden separar esta película del resto de la franquicia donde quisieron forzarla, tiene todos los elementos de un relato de horror cósmico. Científicos buscando el significado de la vida, posesiones, un ser de inteligencia indescifrable. Está en Star+.
    • The Thing (1982): Un clásico. Si bien tiene un forma un poco más pragmática de narrar la situación que otras de las mencionadas antes, creo que a muchas personas les ha quedado grabada en la retina la forma en que esta película representa este ente incomprensible.
    • Sphere (1998): Dustin Hoffman visita el fondo del mar y comienza a tener alucinaciones. Creo que la más introspectiva de esta lista y la menos visceral de todas, es más un tratamiento sobre la locura y la sensación de claustrofobia.

    Algunas otras que tenía anotadas pero que aún no he visto:

    • The Mist
    • The Void
    • The Empty Man
    • Beyond The Black Rainbow
    • The Endless

    Intel N-series fanless PC as HA host?

    I made a similar post on selfhosted recently but I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with these x86 fanless PCs that are sold on AliExpress and similar stores.

    Particularly, I've been looking at the ones based on the N5100 Celeron processor. Brands that I've found sell similar units are x86pi and Protectil. They're normally marketed for industrial and firewall use cases. I really want to use them to run containerized HA and Plex.

    I want to know how's the heat, and if you see this no-moving-parts device as a real alternative to raspberry pies. I'm allergic to fan noise (jk)

    Bmax B1 plus as a home server?

    Hello, I'm quite new to the self-hosted experience, and so far I've been running my services from a RPi3b, and I'm looking to upgrade.

    One of requirements is that the system is silent and cheap to run. Also, it should be mostly self contained. My Pi is in a passive cooled aluminum case.

    So I've been looking at options and stumble upon the Bmax N1 plus, it's a cheap, passive cooled, low power Celeron machine with a bunch of internal storage options. I've seen a couple of critics in yt saying that is too slow for console emulation, but how about running services?

    Other option I've checked out was the Zima board, but the whole naked computer aspect is not particularly to my liking and I don't have the tools to build a nice case for it.

    I'm mostly interested in running home assistant and jellyfin.
