This doesn’t include the vehicle in the post, but has some similar ones like this:

black and white photo of a steam powered track-drive vehicle

The Hornsby steam crawler: 1910

This machine was shipped to Canada from England in 1910, being sold to the Northern Light Power & Coal Company for use hauling coal to the Klondike gold fields in the Yukon, where it worked until 1927. This was the only sale, and the Hornsby company became disillusioned with their "chain track"and sold the patent rights to the Holt Manufacturing Company in 1914.

cypherpunks, (edited ) to unpopularopinion in Instant coffee is grand
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

preferring instant to fresh coffee is the more popular opinion in much of the world, but it’s mostly in the same places where people would rather be drinking tea anyway:

world map of instant vs fresh coffee preference by country. (it is a very similar map.)

cypherpunks, (edited ) to linuxmint in WireShark on Linux Mint?
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s better to run it as not root, which you can presumably do on Linux Mint by adding yourself (or another user account) to the wireshark group after installing the package. See wiki.wireshark.org/…/CapturePrivileges and gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/…/README.Debian for details.

yeah, they aren’t very active, but (presumably due to federation bugs) there is more there than your instance is showing you: from my perspective the most recent post on the mander community is from one month ago and the lemmy.ml community has three posts including one that isn’t from a mod.

you might be able to pull those posts into your instance by searching for their permalinks there (which you can find from the fediverse icons on each post in the web view of those communities on another instance).

cypherpunks, to linux in Can anyone recommend a lightweight, stable distro for a thinkpad?
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

E: old thinkpad gang input: take the time to reapply thermal grease to the cpu at some point. It makes a huge difference.

What’s a “gang input”?

😂 it’s an input to this discussion from a member of the group of people (“gang”) who have experience with old thinkpads. and yes, if your old thinkpad (or other laptop) is overheating and crashing, reapplying the thermal paste is a good next step after cleaning the fans.

I’d love a community here on lemmy for Meshtastic.

There are two:

  • /c/meshtastic@mander.xyz
  • /c/meshtastic@lemmy.ml

cypherpunks, (edited ) to shitposting in They can't filter out obvious misinformation.
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

shoutout to the multiple people flagging this post as misinformation 😂

(I don’t know or care if OP’s screenshot is genuine, and given that it is in /c/shitposting it doesn’t matter and is imo a good post either way. and if the screenshot in your comment is genuine that doesn’t even mean OP’s isn’t also. in any case, from reading some credible articles posted today on lemmy (eg) I do know that many equally ridiculous google AI answer screenshots are genuine. also, the song referenced here is a real fake song which you can hear here.)

cypherpunks, to memes in Hmmmm… I don’t remember that Beatles song
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

you can hear the song here 🙄

cypherpunks, to privacy in This Undisclosed WhatsApp Vulnerability Lets Governments See Who You Message
@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml avatar

Indeed, the only thing WhatsApp-specific in this story is that WhatsApp engineers are the ones pointing out this attack vector and saying someone should maybe do something about it. A lot of the replies here don’t seem to understand that this vulnerability applies equally to almost all messaging apps - hardly any of them even pad their messages to a fixed size, much less send cover traffic and/or delay messages. 😦
