Has anyone tried a derelict freighter since the update? I just got a star ship engine core instead of a freighter upgrade module :\

One month ago, I didn't really know what 3D printing was. Yesterday, I designed in FreeCAD my first model and printed it. What an amazing experience.

I still have no idea what I’m doing really. Just too determined to give up I guess, and it’s been such fun. Anyway I made a guitar pedal light switch cover. Still a lot of work to do, and every time I look at FreeCAD the wrong way, the model breaks, but it’s been a fun experience nonetheless....

Before you go through a bunch of calibration, I’d see if it happens with a different filament. Those black particles there are likely something with a higher melting point than the surrounding PLA, otherwise they’d “smear” during printing. I’m betting you’re hitting some intermittent clogs. See if the problem happens with a single color filament.

I like to do things just off the top of the hour, since top of the hour is when many maintenance crons run. If you’re running a modern cron daemon, you can rewrite that as:


<span style="color:#323232;">3 1-23/6 * * * docker container restart lemmy-lemmy-1
</span>

Doesn’t systemd have the ability to do this as well with unix sockets?

My city recently did 15mph for neighborhood residential roads and 20mph for the wider through roads connecting to them. I feel much safer now when walking and biking in the neighborhood. The roads here were never intended for cars to be parked up and down both sides.

I hate to argue against you because I agree that nobody needs a hundred round clip or full auto for an intruder, but the forefathers’ intended right wasn’t “people should have muskets”. It was much closer to “the people should be armed in case of tyrrany by their government”. The intention was for people to defend their other rights by force, making it more difficult for the government (or an invading force) to take over (this was immediately post-revolution mind you and much of the bill of rights was in direct response to british soldiers’ activities). Of course they also thought we’d be reforming the government and drafting new constitutions as the culture changed, but of course that never happened.

I am not a historian, just a pedant.

This isn’t just “someone annoying him”, the harasser is a 6’5" dude who walked up to within inches of the shooter, then when the shooter told him to get back and started backing away himself, continued to close the distance. This is open and shut self defense, you don’t get to hunt someone down like that, staying in their personal space, and expect them to not feel threatened. YOU would feel threatened and if you’re telling me otherwise, I have a friend named Billy Bob who’d like to stand silently in your personal space for the remainder of the year.

Well, I guess you aren’t a reasonable person.

Your very own quote applies here, the guy kept approaching a fleeing individual, that’s a “reasonable apprehension of imminent injury or offensive contact”. Someone much bigger than you running you down is not “safe”.

Holy crap, are you a social media “prankster” or something? I don’t know how you can feel so vehemently the wrong way about something unless you’re actually doing it.

RedKrieg,
@RedKrieg@lemmy.redkrieg.com avatar

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you’re unaware of violent crime that does not involve guns? Lets put the gun aside for a moment and analyze whether or not the guy felt afraid. If someone walks up to you in the manner this guy did, you get afraid. It’s WHAT THE PERPETRATOR WANTED THE GUY TO DO! He even said that he kept approaching because the guy wasn’t reacting the way he wanted. He was escalating the threat to get a reaction. If the guy didn’t have a gun he would have swung instead of shooting when backing away clearly wasn’t working. Fight or Flight is called a “reaction” for a reason. It’s not a fully conscious process. This “prankster” only did what he did because he was so large and intimidating that he knew he didn’t have to fear physical reprisal for his obvious assaults.

You’re not a reasonable person though, a reasonable person would be afraid of someone approaching babbling incoherently, would back off and tell them to get away, then react with a fight or flight response if they continued to advance. That’s what someone relying on their ability to reason things out would do. That’s what this guy did. He had a gun, the attacker wouldn’t stop advancing when he retreated. He shot. Self defense.

The “prankster” was kicked out by security the day before and was actively avoiding areas with security on the day of the event. It’s unreasonable to expect someone being attacked not to defend themselves. It’s victim blaming to even imply the shooter did anything wrong here.

The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale. (midwest.social)

I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn’t seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don’t have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards....

I just got mine too. Nice and klacky. Mine arrived on in 2.4GHz mode, so I had trouble with pairing until I charged it. Works great now though.

RedKrieg,
@RedKrieg@lemmy.redkrieg.com avatar

Factory battery was probably charged to a normal level and would’ve paired fine when opened if it’d been powered off. It was left powered on from the factory, which is not how it should’ve arrived. My experience is a valid criticism of a just-released rechargeable device and a QA issue. Where do you get off acting like I don’t know how consumer electronics work because I’m criticizing bad QA?

Let's discuss Eversion by Alastair Reynolds

This is the first non-Revelation Space book by Alastair Reynolds that I have read, and I loved it! It started out very simple. As the story progressed, it increasingly became evident that something very weird was going on. There were subtle clues to pick up on and I found myself tearing through the book trying to put together...

RedKrieg,
@RedKrieg@lemmy.redkrieg.com avatar

Loved it too. It’s been a year or so but I feel like this was a two day read for me. I couldn’t put it down.

Nope, you’re looking at it wrong. The Dev got paid to write that code and for all of their 20 years experience. The code was freely given away after that. Nobody loses when knowledge is shared, humanity wins. It gets hairy when you have businesses whose model relies on giving some content away for free and locking some behind a pay wall. Obviously using all of that to train a model without paying anything implies that they never had a subscription, but if they did have one and gave the model access? What’s the difference between that and paying someone to read all those articles? What’s the difference between training a model and paying an employee while training them to expertise? We’re acting like these models are some kind of machine that chops up text and regurgitates it, but that could describe your average college freshman just as well. We’re fast approaching the point where the distinction is meaningless. We can’t treat model training any different from teaching a student.

I subscribe to !newcommunities which helps. Other than that I look for mentions of other communities in comments, similar to how I used to on reddit.

I just gave this a play-through because of your recommendation. What an adorable game! Thank you for sharing it.

Chrome extension to add a "search" link when browsing logged out Lemmy instances (github.com)

I've been annoyed by the "copy !communityname to your instance's search" aspect of joining new communities. To make this more streamlined I created this extension to add a "Search on [myhomeinstance]" button on community pages. It's currently submitted for approval in the chrome web store, which could take a few days, but you...

Oh, you have to enable developer mode on the extensions page to "Load unpacked"

I'd love to combine efforts to make these work for as many people as possible in the fediverse.

The latest version on GitHub works in developer edition. I'll look in to getting it approved tomorrow.
