FWIW we likely wont know what was hit (and for good reason) but the lack of radiation leaking from any of the sites is a good sign. The damage seems mainly to be to leadership, which will hurt Iran's efforts but nuclear industries are built on the science and labour of thousands if not millions of people - the assassinations are just to instill terror into the political class of Iran

Big tech about to erupt into a civil war over whether or not they got into the AI slop bubble early.

 

With the escalation in Gaza and West Bank on top of the incident I'm going to limit how much I spend on telegram, lemmy, etc. because I can get massively hyperfocussed on this shit. Feels a lot like when the Ukraine Russia war heated up and I was stuck to my phone 8 hours a day.

I'm lucky enough to have started my meds recently which are absolutely eviscerating my anxiety, but others aren't so lucky.

Maybe delete a couple of apps and limit your exposure for a couple of days so even if you DO doomscroll it's less paralysing.

The new world struggles to be born ❤️

i play the coop/ai games for this reason lmao

I hope we see a blossoming of high quality open source games. Beyond all Reason is looking towards a Steam release within the year or so and it's really impressive how much love can be put into a game that is run almost entirely by donations!

It looks like a very basic screening tool to block suspicious file extensions from being uploaded/downloaded. I wouldn't read (pun intended) into it too much, but it does mean you might have to work around it via sending epubs as zips or something. I doubt they bother scanning the contents of archives.

in terms of the fight against AI slop this is terrible news. in the fight to access information media freely forever this is almost... good news?

I'm probably in a similar boat thanks to 4x NAS drives (in 2x mirror vdevs so essentially half as power efficient too). I wonder if using an SSD or two for things like caches would help with power draw since you could defer disk usage for longer by relying on a more efficient cache.

SnapRAID is also an option. One benefit is that multiple disks don't need to be spinning at once to access data. Downside is that your parity isn't calculated in real time so less data redundancy.

Yeah they really like to act like they're giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.

not to hand it to nazis but they were clever with picking 88 as their dogwhistle number huh

 

I'm starting Elvanse (Lisdexamfetmine) soon, and I was wondering how some people here prefer to take it? Like, do you do every day or do you take days off?

I know there's not a massive withdrawal from it like the SNRIs I take atm but I wonder if some folks prefer to have days off for whatever reason.

I'd probably do a clean install (eventually) even if it looked like stuff works for now.

I know the pain, though. did rm -rf in the wrong directory and wiped half my drive in seconds. Good times.

It's a pain but also it's no surprise that DNS and ipv6 are premium when ipv4 and dynamic IP works so well for 99% of us. Even if you wanna host something publicly there are totally free services and software tools to cover most if not all caveats of not using ipv6 (for now).

I have selfhosted for years and only paid for a domain name recently.

no fucking way

 

Japan is trying to catch up to AmeriKKKa for the title of redditor republic it seems

EDIT: okay maybe theyre onto something

 

Yeah, it was the cached dependencies, how did you guess?

 

ACAB forever. AmeriKKKan pigs might shoot you and laugh about it, but Brit cops will gangstalk you, shoot you, then lie through their teeth for no reason than to prove they can do it.

 

please im so fucking cooked

 

Plaid Cymru is a soft-left nationalist party in Wales, and has within the last decade accelerated calls for an independence referendum.

The polls reflect both an increasing disillusionment with the Neoliberalism of Labour (which thanks to Wales' anti-Tory culture doesn't immediately turn to ReformUK) but also changes to the voting system that were hoped to entrench Labour's hold over the senedd, but now deny any single party the hopes of a full majority.

Labour has been the leading party in Wales for over a century, and has led every Welsh Senedd since its inception in 1999.

 

I'm getting an ADHD assessment soon and I've been sent a blood pressure monitor. I did a test just now and it came up 144/97 which is apparently high (stage 1 or 2 hypertension depending on the diagram you check).

I was caffeinated at the time so I'm gonna try tomorrow but I'm curious what my target mmHg should be for when I'm making changes to my health.

Side note but if I'm regularly getting to stage 2 hypertension to barely keep focus at work and crash shortly after then maybe that's a good example of why unmedicated ADHD lowers your life expectancy

 

I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I've got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?
