Well yeah, how else do you learn skills? You're not gonna be good at something if you don't push your boundaries.
I don't think so, I think she just didn't think about it when posting for the pic
The hair + shadows all look convincing
So? Does it need more? Seems to be doing just fine.
Not sure why people think the linux foundation should only do the kernel, it supports a wide variety of open source projects.
You've been doing a great job with the community and we'll be sorry to see you go, but please prioritize yourself first!
I have a sliding door that I want to toss a stepper motor on, so my dog can push a button and let himself in / out.
I think you're thinking of Generations which is why you can't find it
Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again.
Paywall:
Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.
Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.
He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.
Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino said: “Our thoughts are with Josh Dean’s family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones.”
Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit.
Spirit fired Dean in April 2023, and he had filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging his termination was in retaliation for raising concerns related to aviation safety.
Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.
His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own.
His mother posted a message Friday on Facebook relating all those details and saying that Dean was “fighting for his life.”
The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles. The move will not apply to Paris residents’ parking.
So sounds like it's weight based, which makes sense I think
Celebrate without buying gifts.
Why do you need to spend money to celebrate? Spend your time with people instead.
Ask for a raise. Tell them there's no retirement plans because of inflation now, and she can see herself staying there another 10 years.
They might not lay her off because they know she'll retire soon anyways. Increase her cost of employment so it's no longer cost effective to just wait it out.
For those who haven't seen them, I'm a big fan of these "self watering" IKEA plant pots.

Basically that means there's a reservoir at the bottom, a tube down, and a stick with Styrofoam on the end. The stick floats up when there's water in there, so you don't flood your plant.
Bottom watering is also great way to reduce things like fungus gnats, and apparently is better for your plants.
On top of all this they have shitty wheels on the bottom that make it way easier to move around big plants.
My problem was I have several large plants I want to put out for the summer and hook into my irrigation. A simple solution was just drilling a hole in the bottom, then shoving a rubber cork in it when its inside.
In the summer I just store the cork in the top of the tube (the orange bit).
It's a simple hack but works really well.
What am I missing here? Why can't I unlock everything?
I had the same issue last season, am I doing something wrong?
Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving!
A few people have asked how the server is doing and I've been meaning to post some metrics for a while.
We're running on a "Advance-1 Gen 2" server with OVH hosted in Beauharnois, Quebec. This is a 6 core xeon 2386G with 32gb of ram and 2x 512gb nvme ssd's (raid 1). It's also ended up being pretty overkill for what we need so we may want to consider downgrading in the future, but it's relatively inexpensive ($130/mo) for what it is.
We store image uploads on OVH Object Storage, consuming about 430gb.
CPU peaks at barely 10%:
Similarly most of our RAM just gets used for filesystem caching. The pattern you see is due to a cronjob I have in place that restarts lemmy each night at 3am PT, since it seems to leak memory for us.
A few weeks ago we migrated our pict-rs over to OVH's object storage platform, so our disk needs are pretty minimal.
and with postgres basically just keeping the working DB in memory, disk IO is mostly just writes:
Database throughput shows some interesting activity happening for the past few days, but I just noticed and haven't dug into who/what might be causing this.
but still performance is fine with most queries returning in under 100ms
Lemmy tends to return 4xx errors hence the high error rates from nginx:
Most of our traffic is still ipv4:
Lastly, we use cloudflare as a caching proxy and ddos protection layer in front of our server. They absorb about 64% of our bandwidth usage:
Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about!
Just to correct the people who say they can't see your password - this is only true if they're running a stock copy of lemmy, which hashes passwords in the database.
They're free to modify their instance however they want, including storing unencrypted passwords or emailing your password on registration to a bot farm.
Always use a unique password for every site you use.
Two big ones in my younger days:
Alt tabbed one too many times, clicked drop database, clicked ok, realized I'd just deleted the live user database for America's Army. Thankfully it was the east coast site and west coast was the primary, and it was only one way replication. We shut down east coast auth and rebuilt the secondary.
Someone distracted me while typing in a vlan command on a switch, I hit enter without double checking, took out our fiber between two datacenters in the middle of a move. Took me 15 minutes to run to the DC, plug in a console cable and fix it. Took all of our customers out.
