This is the tune I thought of (apologies for linking a YT short, but it was the only version I could find)
There’s also a longer YT Music version here, but I’m not sure if it’s a premium thing or not.

The user who tweeted the take is a political commentator, or maybe influencer would be a better term. There’s a Wikipedia page about her that explains it better than I can.
Basically she rose to fame as an anti-feminist during Gamergate, but kinda also seems to have progressive views on some other topics which have given her a weird platform because basically no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on there’s something for anyone to agree with her on, and something they’d want to cancel her over.
That setup sounds great. The system I’m working on putting together is similar to your secondary setup. I picked up most of the equipment after Huricane Helene when we had neighbors who were without power for a couple of weeks (we’re kinda lucky where we live that we’re about 200 yards from the local fire department and on the same trunkline so they got our power back within a couple of days), but I have around 1.6 kw worth of panels and 2400 Wh of battery. Have a cheap 500w inverter for now, but will probably upgrade when I can afford it.
Mine will also be entirely off-grid. Hoping to get it installed soon now that the weather is getting better. Spent most of these colder months working on lowering my power use requirements - like moving a bunch of services off my more power-hungry (~60w average) homelab/NAS onto a Raspberry Pi and another ARM SBC that combined pull around 7w.
At this point, I’m not going for being able to power everything through an outage. Just trying to have enough that we can keep some essentials and some basic comforts like lighting in the evenings. My roommate has some off the shelf Eco-flow batteries and panels that have been able to keep our small chest freezer powered, but A/C and water heating will be things we’d have to go without, and we’d have to move cooking outdoors until we can get our old fireplace/chimney remodeled.
Probably not a great option considering how Nightreign is built around online multiplayer more than any other Fromsoft game. I guess there’s maybe a chance for a selfhosted multiplayer server, but otherwise the likelihood of a pirated version actually working seems slim.
Also seems like typical Lunduke trying to make something out of nothing. Dude loves to fearmonger, especially about Mozilla. I’m not saying Mozilla hasn’t done things I dislike, but Lunduke has had it out for them since Brendan Eich stepped down over his opposition to gay rights.
There are a lot of mods here, and I don’t think most of us ever volunteered, we were just early to the party. And considering the community is called “Fuck AI” you’re probably fine posting mildly offensive joke comments.
Boost. It was my preferred Reddit client back before spez Elon-ed Reddit, so when the Lemmy version released, I purchased it to thank the dev for putting in the work to support Lemmy. It made my move to Lemmy super smooth.
I also use Voyager on occasion.
I saw a tiktok of a Brit talking about this with the upcoming ban in the US, and he made an interesting point. The Americans who can afford to travel and take time off work, are more often the ones who have lived privileged lives, and as a result act more entitled than the average American. He commented how interacting with regular Americans on tiktok changed his perception of what they are like, because only interacting with the tourists makes it seem like there’s a higher percentage of entitled a-holes.
If your mail server is configured correctly this generally isn’t that big of an issue. You need a DKIM service on your mail server, and with that add some dns records (SPF records and DMARC) to the domain As long as those are in place and configured properly, you should be able to avoid most spam filters considering your domain invalid.
This article seems more written from the perspective that AI is bad because it doesn’t work. And while I don’t know what kind of Photographer this was who had this happen to him - maybe he’s just a hobbyist - so I’m trying not to judge him too harshly.
But as someone who went to school for photography (technically cinematography but we still did all the photography classes the school offered), it bothers me that the art of even doing your own edits in photoshop is being replaced by lazy use of AI. Why give up control of your art, and turn it over to a guessing machine?
Anyway, probably just having an old-man yells at cloud moment, but real artists who use “professional” software like this don’t want the AI in there either. It’s not a tool I’d ever want to use.
Yeah, but I bet the best quality copies of what you have on there were at some point ripped from Blu-rays. The death of physical media will hurt anyone who wants to “own” their library. Unless we get the GOG of Movies where high quality DRM-free copies can be bought, they are going to keep pushing everyone to their subscription streaming sites until the idea of owning media dies. Blu-ray is the last mainstream bastion of owning your movies. I agree the plastic is a problem, but let’s get a good replacement before we throw out what we have.
I’m sure you’ll do a great job as mod. Thanks for starting this community.
Better to be hard on myself, and see it coming, than to be blindsided by an insult I didn’t plan on, and have it ruin my week.
There are some differences between distros as to whether TRIM is enabled by default or not (I’ve read Ubuntu enables it by default, but Debian does not). That said, depending on what file-system your ssd is formatted with it may be enabled by default at that level. The most-often recommended file-systems for SSDs are Btrfs and F2FS, both of which support and enable TRIM by default (as of Linux 6.2 for Btrfs, so if you are running an older kernel version you might need to manually enable it). I think most distro installers support using Btrfs as the main file-system, but F2FS is a bit more hit and miss I think. Safest bet would be to investigate once you settle on a distro, but support should be pretty standard, even if it’s not enabled by default.
I was absolutely on a version of the alt-right pipeline a decade ago. I was raised by far-right, Mike Johnson-style “Christians,” so I was already pretty far down that path before I was drawn into any pipeline.
Luckily, I ended up on a weird libertarian branch of the pipeline (LearnLiberty rather than Prager U), and somehow the YouTube algorithm steered me into Veritasium’s content on climate change, and clips from Adam Ruins Everything. It sounds a bit crazy, but those things started opening my eyes and expanding my worldview. Probably didn’t hurt that my favorite TV show at the time was Leverage, which had plenty of its own anti-corporate-grifting themes.
Eventually, I realized that the Libertarian utopia doesn’t work because greed is an unlimited resource, and that makes regulation important.
Of course, there were other things that helped me escape my upbringing and the alt-right pipeline during gamergate (I wasn’t into gaming at the time, so that probably helped), but looking back and seeing how easily I could have ended up being a January 6 insurrectionist. I’m so thankful for all the little things that nudged me out of that worldview, and helped me see reality.
I wish there was an easy way to show young guys that the people they are listening to are liars and grifters who are manipulating young men into believing that their real pain is somehow the fault of women. But if I look at my own journey, it was a thousand little nudges. I didn’t change overnight, but there was a day during the 2016 election cycle that I remember realizing that even though I had spent almost 8 years despising Obama, that he had been an alright president - especially compared to the Republican nominee, Trump.
