I’ll admit to assuming he must be kind of a cool nerd for naming some of his SpaceX things after Culture ships (from Iain M. Banks’ novels), but now I feel sullied by association from having enjoyed the same books.

Anything from https://lemmon.website is me too.

I wouldn’t do this personally, but if I did, I think I’d at least pipe the results to head -n 1
to only act on the first result.
That’s kinda funny, in a way - unsophisticated prevention for an unsophisticated attack.
Everyone trying to use the Internet normally suffers due to this kind of stuff.
It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.
Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.
It probably is. I’d tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.
There was a great windows app called ‘dvdshrink’ that let you rip commercial DVDs onto blank DVDs (shrinking them if necessary). It got taken down with a Cease & Desist, but the MPAA or whoever didn’t worry about who took the domain. For a long time, the site was just filled with ads instead - now it’s a bit more sophisticated: no real link to download the software, but lots of genuine-seeming donation requests.
The fake site is at the first search result for that software (edit: it’s probably best not to link directly to it)
Decades ago, my school’s drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry (‘euphoria’) in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.
Not much for beets. My config.yaml is just:
library: ~/.config/beets/musiclibrary2.db
import:
move: yes
terminal_encoding: utf8
plugins: fetchart embedart
(so fetchart and embedart are the only plugins)
(from then on, a Navidrome server hosts the music, and I tend to use a Windows app called ‘Feishin’ to play it)
“So the choice is … or bees?” (which is two Eddie Izzard references in one)
Something’s not quite working btw. It’s tricky to chat about because various front-ends auto-convert absolute links to instance-specific ones, so I’ll surround them in code blocks and hopefully they’ll leave 'em alone. Anyway: the fedi-link for this post is https://dubvee.org/post/1007192
which is where it is, but if you try to visit that with a browser you’re re-directed to https://tesseract.dubvee.org/post/lemmy.world/1007192
which isn’t correct - it should either not re-direct you or re-direct you to the correct URL at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/post/lemmy.world/14138451
Tesseract. You can use it for your own instance by logging in to it at https://tesseract.dubvee.org/ (which is a bit counterintuitive, because there’s also a local Lemmy server there, but it works). Or self-host it of course (see https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract)

Think we should maybe walk before we run here.
