  • As long as we’re taking the “high road” and kicking someone in the gut for the way they look could someone link to who this is and what they said?

  • And then he yawned.

  • People today tend to fixate on the things that are out of their control. Perhaps it’s because we have lost our coping mechanisms. Perhaps it’s because they never learned any. We live in the most technologically advanced point in time we have ever known. Few of us need to go out and till the earth to grow our own food. The majority of us don’t have to physically work as hard as previous generations. Adults and our children find their enjoyment and existential dread by watching tiny screens filled with useless entertainment. Maybe things are fine. We just make shitty choices about what to do with our time, and what we give our attention to.

  • I suspect marketing bullshittery. I’ve bought “sugar in the raw” a few years ago to try, and it reminded me of back in In high school chemistry II in which I did an experiment where I took a brand name sugar and a lower budget brand sugar and examined it under a microscope. The budget brand sugars’ crystal structure was larger but hollow. Weighing the two by volume showed less mass for the budget brand. Putting the same volume of the two in a mortar and grinding with a pestle yielded less volume for the budget brand which means for the same volume you’re getting less sugar.

    I believe that “sugar in the raw” does the same thing to give you less for more price, but compounds it’s marketing by telling you it’s unprocessed and more natural. Maybe that’s true but you’re certainly getting less product for the price. One would think less processing would cost less. The only difference from the experiment was that you were paying less for less. Kind of interesting how business ethics have changed over the years.

  • OpenAudible. I strip the DRM from all of my Audible audiobooks and archive them.

    There’s a free way to do it using rainbowcrack but OA is simpler.

  • Thanks for the heads up. As the developer of Voyager, What are your thoughts on the Sublinks project?

    Edit: Can confirm 17.4 fixed invisible gifs on my side.

  • Exactly the kind of thing I would expect to mildly infuriate someone who wears socks labeled right and left.

  • Can’t upvote today, and my account seems to be labeled as a bot.

  • Lemmy user #1: “Stop posting Jean memes!”

    Lemmy user #2: “Fine you post something then.”

    Lemmy user #1: “No.”

  • Battle bots, but the stakes are for territory!

  • Don’t you just love hard water?

  • I just watched it for the first time. I’m old enough to remember the cover art at the rental store. The face on the cover never makes an appearance. I was surprised to find out it’s an Australian movie and cast as I’m in NA and I saw it in multiple VHS rental stores as a kid back then. There are some noted parallels to current day political themes. It doesn’t hammer you over the head with it like today, but expects you to be smart enough to understand the message which is a breath of fresh air. I wonder what the historic Australian politics of that era was the basis for the references. The story is a basic “if you don’t like your situation then change it yourself”. I would give it a 7/10 for a B-movie.

  • “game that is heavily inspired by Pokemon” That’s a polite way of saying ripped off. Let’s see if the lawyers get involved.

  • Influxdb is a “time series” database for storing metrics. Temperatures, ram usage, cpu usage with time stamps. Telegraf is the client side agent that sends those metrics to the database in json format. Prometheus does pretty much the same thing but is a bit too bloated for my liking, so I went back to Influx.

  • Grafana, influxdb, telegraf agents. Easy to setup. Barely any configuration required. Everything you asked for in the default telegraf agent config. There are dashboards with plenty of examples on grafanas website.
