Information wants to be free.

how do you deal with it?

By not caring what others think. It's become way more efficient for me to pay for certain reliable items or services rather than spending my time to learn to and do such. If a service or product saves me time and frustration, ya I'm much happier to pay someone to do it or pay for a known fix. Sometimes that results in me spouting off about how much that was worth to me, and how much I saved (if not in money, at least in sanity).

Sharing your experiences and thoughts on a commercial product doesn't make you a shill, or a walking ad. Rather sharing your experience with friends should be seen as a trustworthy review.

Ouch... I am happy you were able to share such a defining moment of happiness with your kiddo.

this game. One of his most recent meltdowns

I try to help my kids understand it's a game for fun. If you're no longer having fun, you stop playing.

Thanks for the example link. In that case it appears to be the image itself from citizenlab.ca and not an actual keyboard pop up for the device. Unsure why safari is loading it as a popup image and not inline though.

Does it occur everywhere on Beehaw or a certain page? Does it happen if you are logged out?

Congrats :) Glad to see myserv come by that metric truthfully...

[–] Penguincoder 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not growing anything, but wanted to say I love your post title and contributions to discussion on Beehaw. Thanks friend.

An OS can be restored. Backup your data, so /home for sure and maybe any custom configs for /etc, like your wireguard configs. So anything you specifically edited/added for /etc directory.

When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn't get any money I don't see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn't make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches.

Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either.

at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.

And the artists still won't. So given in either case, the artist don't make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify.

Not sure where to put this in here or DIY. But, finished my TKL build and wanted to show off. I mean I didn't just finish it, but pretty recent. Took a bit longer than I expected and a bit tedious for a perfectionist, but over all not too bad. It works!

Through-hole PCB with FR4 plate and case. Pretty nice looking and quality components. I put MX browns on because I like the smooth feeling of them. Not typing on it now; just admiring! Need to let my soldering hand recuperate.

Do you hate the way Beehaw website looks? Do you long for the days of that other site with the old formatting??

Well Beeple; I present the old interface thanks to Mlmym! Give it a try if that's your thing - https://old.beehaw.org.

A note here though, that is an external project dealing with the Lemmy aspects in their own way. If you find an issue or bug on https://old.beehaw.org, please try the same on https://beehaw.org before crying foul. Please report any issues or bugs to the right place to get them fixed.

 

A great quick reference document that I've been using to help with understanding Rust. It's a confusing language to get started with.

 

Seriously amazing for those old nerds like me who are use to IRC, irssi or Weechat. Give Gomuks a try. It's what I expect of a modern client that doesn't get in the way like a lot of the GUI's. I like this versus irssi/weechat because it's first party support for matrix not a WIP plugin.

What do you think? Reach out and say hi to me on matrix! @penguincoder:hive.beehaw.org

 

@alyaza@beehaw.org is MIA currently, but this weekly thread has been so awesome to see and keep going; so I am making what would be her typical post for this week. Alyaza; stay safe friend, I hope everything is okay.

Beeple, how's your mid week going so far??

Edited the URL to the music, apparently that was lost on initial post.

 

On September 1, 2023, the domains registry for .COM and .XYZ will implement universal price increases of up to 9% for .COM renewals, and up to 9% for .XYZ renewals, registrations, and transfers.

 

Dude is a genius when it comes to compositions and playing instruments. Amazing and unique sounds.

 

SQLedge uses Postgres logical replication to stream the changes in a source Postgres database to a SQLite database that can run on the edge. SQLedge serves reads from its local SQLite database, and forwards writes to the upstream Postgres server that it's replicating from.

This lets you run your apps on the edge, and have local, fast, and eventually consistent access to your data.

Should be much faster for reads than hitting the full PSQL DB, but lacks features like aggregation and triggers. Wonder if this could be incorporated into Lemmy for any benefit.

 

Have a porch outside that is cracked and rotten, and the header boards are split and can't be drilled/screwed into. So I need to replace those. What's the correct way to attach 2x6 headers to concrete blocks, to remain secure and proper? This would specifically be for 2x6s flat against the concrete, not end to concrete.
