If only we had some more easily understood units for tracking time.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones?
44·13 days agoGo voltuneer at a shelter and walk dogs for them first. I don’t think you’ve considered how much work is involved in a dog, are you prepared to adopt a small child?
If no referrer header is sent, CF will let it through. You can copy + paste the url into a new tab to get to it, but I’m guessing some apps don’t provide a referrer.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million — backbone codec of the internet gets meteoric increase, AVC hikes follow disastrous H.265 licensing increaEnglish
13·15 days agoVia LA told Streaming Media that it contacted unlicensed media companies during 2025 to give them “a window to secure a license” under the previous terms, but the company didn’t go to the trouble of issuing a press release or public announcement, opting instead for direct outreach. Any company that didn’t respond or wasn’t contacted now faces the new rate structure as its starting point for negotiations.

0·15 days agoThis might be my fault, not the app. I made some caching changes to piefed.ca yesterday to improve performance. Will take a look later today
Edit: No not related to my changes but I’ve applied a fix, can you see if it still happens now?
Yeah I use VL for lemmy.ca and it’s super quick and lightweight, but getting what you want into grafana can be difficult.
Elastic is heaaaaavy. You might want to check out Loki, I haven’t used it but I think it’d be easier to get started with than Victoria logs since it integrates tightly with grafana

0·19 days agoYeah 😢 , my phone went off and woke me up this morning. It’s also represented on https://status.fedecan.ca/
I did a whack of tuning on Sunday, banning bots and adding the second piefed server back in. That seems to have mostly stabilized lemmy, but piefed is a little more rocky still. May need to give me to the end of the long weekend to try to things back close to 100% uptime.
I am missing cloudflare a little now 😂
I prefer network in the middle. When you’re running 3-5 cables per host, it helps keep the cable density managable.
VL is really about aggregation, not displaying it. You’d probably just need to setup a grafana dashboard with filters for all your normal traffic
No you can’t run Linux effectively on anything higher than an m2 (yet).
An air would is fine for most people.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why is my toilet randomly gurgling and bubbling? How stop?
0·22 days agoYour flap is probably leaking, they need to be replaced every few years. Look inside your tank for the (usually black) flap that seals the hole at the bottom.

Hopefully they had enough of a sense it was coming to wrap things up.

The science behind this one confuses me. Bluetooth is short range, and gps is too low power to penetrate. There’s no way a gps will get lock from inside a ship, and someone would need a compatible app and internet to relay it out.
The issue isn’t the tracker, it’s the person with their personal phone and the app that relayed the position of the tracker while they were in cell range of the shore.
