  • My neighbor is moving and their trailer is parked pretty sketchy. Should I say something?

    Jump

  • My mom got run into by a trailer that was rolling down a hill. Luckily my mom decided she was a superhero that day and was able to push the trailer to the curb to stop it from rolling down any further (it was a pretty steep hill). She got away with only a broken ankle.

    So I say yeah. Tell them.

  • Maga Man X on the SNES. I still vividly remember the first time I ever beat a boss in it, too. I remember running out of my room to look down the loft to the living room area and screamed to my mom that I finally beat Chill Penguin. She wasn't impressed. I immediately went back to my room and beat another boss. Then another. After probably a couple of years of just dying over and over, something clicked that day, and I was able to beat all the bosses. And I have been hooked on gaming ever since.

  • I think the devs like this design. They are currently contemplating making votes public for everyone. There is a discussion on their GitHub about it. They opened the discussion and asked if the users want to make all votes visible on the UI. If it happens, I will probably stop voting altogether.

  • Yes.

    Hell, one of the lead contributors to Lemmy and an admin of lemmy.ml is like this. If that person sees you say anything negative about China, you instantly get banned.

  • If I'm understanding what you're saying then yes, you are wrong about this.

    I hosted my own instance and was able to see the usernames of people who voted on communities that were not hosted on my instance. To prove my point, I had posted the list of votes on a comment that was claiming it was impossible to do this.

  • Yes, as the other person said, you need to be an admin or mod. As an admin, you have raw database access. I crafted an SQL query using a couple of joins of I think 3 tables, and I was able to provide a comment or post ID, and it would return a list of people who have upvoted or downvoted it.

    The problem is though that anyone can be an admin. You could set up your own instance and do this if you want.

  • Votes being public is one of my main turn offs of Lemmy. Anyone can host their own instance that federates with everyone and peek inside the database and see everything you've ever up voted or downvoted. I have personally done this just to confirm my suspicions that it is possible. I don't vote on a lot of things I otherwise would because I don't want people making assumptions about me. For example, if I see a copy/paste bot spamming a pro trans comment, even though I agree with the message, I might want to downvote because it is a spam bot. But I'm afraid that if someone sees that comment in a list of my downvotes without any context, they will incorrectly think I'm transphobic.

  • "PSA: Update Vaultwarden as soon as possible"

    Jump

  • sudo systemctl restart vaultwarden.service

    Done. :)

    Thanks for the heads up.

  • I'm working on a screenplay for a remake of Castaway, but I'm considering not using a volleyball this time. Give me your best casting ideas for which inanimate object should play Wilson.

  • A dakimakura, AKA a body pillow. Needs an anime character on it, obviously.

  • is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?

    Jump

  • That's my main problem with Signal. They refuse to add features because they can't be perfect. I damaged my old phone beyond it being usable and got a new one. Now it's impossible for me to get my conversation history, because the only way to keep it is to do a backup in the app and then manually move the backup file, then restore it on your new phone. Oh, but you can't backup and then restore to your laptop. That would be crazy talk. It's impossible to get your conversation history to your laptop.

  • So if I don't have a camera on my laptop, I'm good?

  • It did 4 passes by default. It took almost 3 hours to run on 16 GB of RAM.

    It's possible there is an issue with the WiFi. I had lots of WiFi issues on this laptop when I used Windows (micro freezing when using typing into an SSH shell, and pings would drop at the same time), but since switching to Linux, those went away. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'll try using wired network if the issues come back after swapping SSDs.

  • Well, I reinstalled this morning and I'm keeping the nouveau driver this time instead of going with the proprietary. I don't play play games on this laptop anymore since I set up sunshine/moonlight, so it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Well, I just reinstalled on a new SSD this morning. Fingers crossed it all works out! It usually takes a few weeks for the issues to start happening each time, so I guess I'll just wait in agony until then. 🥲

  • I will try this once I get my system back up and running tomorrow! I'm going to install the distro on a new SSD and see what happens.

  • Yeah, I just ordered a new SSD. I'll give that a try when it arrives tomorrow. Smart says it passed, but suspect my SSD enough that I think it's worth it to just try another SSD.

  • I have 16GB of RAM and 16GB of swap as a swap partition. Though I have also tried a 16GB swapfile and saw no difference. I don't know about zram.

  • It's a 2021 Asus Zephyrus G15 with an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU. I got an aftermarket SSD off of Amazon so I could dual boot with Windows, but I haven't booted back into Windows a single time since installing Linux. Though that might be a good test.

    I can try set -x once I reinstall my distro and get it back up and running tomorrow, as it is currently borked. Since zypper does all the downloads then all of the installs, I was able to see that it always happened during the install phase, not the download phase.

    I am definitely interested in the possibility of it being related to the proprietary Nvidia driver. When it happened yesterday, the proprietary Nvidia driver was being updated (not sure at that exact time. But it was in the list of packages to be updated). I'll keep an eye on that for sure.

    1. Already done. :)
    2. It started with GUI, but I switched to command line, and even did it in a separate TTY to make sure it wasn't something weird going on with updating plasma from plasma. After switching to Arch-based distros, I have only use CLI.
    3. Currently I'm on EndeavourOS, but after the most recent time this happened, it won't boot, and I can't even mount and chroot to it (I get an I/O error message)
    4. No, I'm at about 1% capacity.
    5. I ran this from a live USB, and it came back with no errors detected, but returned instantaneously, so I'm not sure if it ran the right thing. Doing more research on it now. Edit: I did it wrong. The test is running now. Edit 2: Smart says it passed. :/
