Can we please just have some normal trek for at least half the season?

Laurie says she was still waiting for guidance when ICE agents returned to the airport looking for another passenger. This time, she made a different choice. She called the supervisor at the gate, asked for the passenger’s phone number and called the woman herself.

“I know this is going to sound extremely radical, or crazy,” she recounted telling the woman, “but ICE is there at the gate, and they’re looking for you."

There was a pause. “Are you serious?” the woman asked.

“Yes,” Laurie said. “I know this is crazy, but I promise you. I’m being serious.”

“Should I leave?” the woman asked. “I think it might be best if you do,” Laurie said.

That’s awesome. Good for her.

I never wash anything in hot, it’s really bad for your clothes / fabrics. My stuff doesn’t smell when it comes out, and my clothing lasts ages.

The smell is from your washing machine, not the cold wash of your laundry. Doing a hot cycle occasionally will help clean the mold & mildew from inside the machine, even without it having items in it. Even better if you put some bleach or a cleaning tablet in it

My personal feeling is that reddit repost bots are actively harmful to the growth of the fediverse.

In my opinion there’s a few general buckets of users: link consumers, comment consumers, commenters, posters. Reddit bots help the first group, and actively deter engagement by the others. When your feed is a flood of reposts and no comments, the community feels dead and you’re disincentivized to comment yourself. If you do comment because you don’t realize the OP has no idea what lemmy even is, then you’re even less likely to comment in the future.

I honestly care less about appealing to the link consumers, since they’re just lurking and not helping grow the community. We could potentially do something like refederate but add it to everyone’s instance block list by default, but I struggle to see the value in that for the handful of people who might unblock it.

I’m also curious about lemmit’s future as old reddit is locked down. Eventually reddit is going to start blocking however they’re scraping.

That being said we consider our instances to be community led, and we’re always are open to changes that the majority want.

Sounds like you might be running out of ram and using up swap, which just grinds things to a halt.

Open a system monitoring tool at the same time and keep an eye on your ram and swap usage. If swap is filling up, that’s usually a bad sign. (if swap usage is small and not changing, that’s not necessarily bad)

For bios look at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd and it might do it for you.

Not really relevant but still relevant https://youtu.be/tK-cKWSPBBs

On top of the other suggestions here, upgrade your bios. We really need to know exactly what you mean by freezing though.

I’ve found success in telling Claude to keep it brief and to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Technical_English

Good thought, they seem to be illegal in France - https://www.france24.com/en/france/20260717-france-orders-internet-service-providers-to-block-access-to-polymarket

Not that this would stop anyone determined, but it should reduce the likelihood

I’m having trouble believing that 500 people have all started fires. Are they just rounding up everyone that was in the area at the time?

Oops, I did actually mean -p but that’s included in -a. Years of muscle memory doesn’t go away. -P is a good one too though.

Why not rsync? Off the top of my head: rsync -avp --delete ~/Music /src/to/dst/ (leave the music off the dst path)

Stop googling and just read the rsync man page

I get emails from “trezor” multiple times a week that are scams trying to get me to download a backdoored firmware. Fuck these guys for leaking their customer info all over the place

They rely on safe harbor provisions within the dmca. Its like how your isp can’t be sued for you downloading warez, usenet providers just provide access to the network and look the other way at what goes over it.

Usenet just encrypts the connection from you to their server, they can see perfectly well what the data you download is. They aren’t prosecuted because they claim ignorance and that they’re just providing you network access, which is why usenet providers that specifically advertise for piracy have been shut down. This is also aided by usenet not advertising what you’re downloading (unlike torrents), so it’s hard to send a dmca claim.

See https://www.vitallaw.com/news/copyright-c-d-cal-perfect-10-failed-to-establish-that-usenet-service-provider-did-not-qualify-for-dmca-safe-harbor/ipm013b319a047bc91000b319d8d385ad169401 for example, whereas old usenet.com actually provided indexing too and got shut down for it https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2009/07/judge-throws-book-at-usenetcom-in-riaa-lawsuit/

(I’m a happy long term usenet provider too)

Open to either, but I use multiple google cals heavily and don’t like that most apps seem to need to set an hourly refresh. I want things to update right away as my day changes.

I’ll try that one, thanks!

Purchasing and anonymous don’t really go together.

Just switched over to it, it’s great. Any suggestions for a similarly solid calendar app?

Most modern remakes I’m pretty meh on, but I do think they nailed it with X-Com. I can’t really think of another game from my childhood that got treated properly.

I made that mistake with Spotify, got a family plan years ago and hooked my sister + nephew + niece up. Now if I want to cancel it and they lose their playlists, they’ll be all pissy.
