For me, to ‘get shit done’ means to enter a state of flow and focus. For that I put on noise cancelling headphones and put this Chillhopmusic playlist on shuffle.

(It’s not my playlist, just a public one that someone has created and shared.)

ojmcelderry,

What does a British person’s home made curry taste like? I’m curious.

ojmcelderry,

Exactly. The fact that “disposable” vapes even exist is mind-boggling. And now they account for more than half of the electrical waste going to landfill. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why do they even exist? Can’t they be banned?

It’s like buying a USB battery pack to recharge your phone - and then chucking it out after it’s run out.

ojmcelderry,

Ditto for London. I assume most local council recycling facilities accept small electrical waste.

Instructions unclear

Common global rules needed ahead of ‘flying taxi’ boom, UK regulator says (archive.ph)

Sir Stephen Hillier, chair of the Civil Aviation Authority, said the travel industry is at an “inflection point” and needs global co-operation ahead of the “widespread” adoption of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs) designed to carry passengers on short trips....

ojmcelderry,

I was envisioning something more like this.

A London black cab, flying above the London skyline, with purple dragon wings

ojmcelderry,

There’s more than one Musk!? 😱

ojmcelderry,

They could be upgrading hosting infrastructure - sometimes this requires servers to be shut down or restarted. They might also be applying database changes such as migrating data from one server to another, or updating the structure of the database to improve performance or support new features.

Honestly, there are quite a number of reasons for planned downtime.

Unplanned downtime is a different story. Usually that’s because something unexpected went wrong and there will be engineers trying to get things back up and running ASAP.

ojmcelderry,

Yo ho, yo ho!

ojmcelderry,

This sounds like the Netflix model.

ojmcelderry,

Interesting 🤔 “intercept” as in to rip them?

And suppose a friend asked me how you do that. What should I tell them?

ojmcelderry,

Thanks! I’ll try this next time when I get one of these popups.

ojmcelderry,

Hello 👋🏻 fellow AdGuard user here. This extension never gets much mention – people seem to prefer AdBlock and uBlock Origin for whatever reason – but I’m very happy with AdGuard and have used it for years now.

I don’t have any issues reading articles online. I wonder if we’re subscribed to different filter lists.

I believe there’s a filter called “anti-adblocker” or something – I would suggest you enable that if you don’t already have it enabled. My understanding is that it’ll block scripts that check if you have an adblocker – resulting in fewer of those “please disable your adblocker” banners.

ojmcelderry,

Is this really “world news”? 😕

I mean, what’s new? We’ve known for years that companies are collecting our personal data online.

ojmcelderry,

Yep 🤦🏻‍♂️

This isn’t even about AI. Regular search engines will also provide results reflecting the thing you asked for.

ojmcelderry,

looking forward to finding a proper solution

To the contrary, I think you have a solution in search of a problem.

Your solution is smart contracts, and you’re asking us if we agree that your cloud storage example would be a good use case for that solution.

ojmcelderry,

One really practical way to learn some new recipes is to use a recipe box service like HelloFresh or Gousto.

They deliver a box with all the required ingredients and easy to follow recipe cards.

For anything that you make & enjoy, you can keep the recipe card and cook it again using store bought ingredients.

These recipe boxes regularly have deals and promotions (e.g. 60% off, refer a friend, etc.) so it doesn’t have to be too expensive.

Or if you don’t want to order one at all, it’s worth knowing that HelloFresh make all their recipes available online for free. So you can download and print off any that you like the sound of, without ever even ordering one of their boxes.

ojmcelderry,

In the UK it’s a “builders’ bum”

ojmcelderry,

This is worse than the time Elon Musk bought Twitter and ran it into the ground.

ojmcelderry,

They can still reject the proposal. Just because they’re built upon Chromium, doesn’t mean they need to utilise or retain every feature Google adds to it.

ojmcelderry,

Same! 😅 huge thanks to @jonah for bringing lemmy.one back online. I wasn’t ready to mourn the loss of my fediverse homepage.

ojmcelderry,

Who are these people that will fund a social network, with no expectations of a return on that investment, so that people can fill it up with memes and porn for free?

ojmcelderry,

I do think Firefox gets a degraded experience on some websites.

For example, Google Meet supports virtual video backgrounds and 3D face filters for Chromium based browsers.

And Google Search serves up an older results page design with fewer features to Firefox users. Someone has literally had to create a Firefox addon to make it pretend to be Chrome so it gets the modern results page.

I realise these are both Google-owned websites - but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the average user isn’t going to come up across these differences.

ojmcelderry,

To be honest, I think whichever approach you take is unlikely to have a significant effect on how much energy your website uses overall.

For example, servers in datacentres are very powerful and are able to run more than one thing at once. So if you were hosting your own Lemmy/Mastodon instance, there’d be no reason why you couldn’t also host a standalone website on that same server. The difference in energy usage would be negligible.

In contrast, you could argue that Lemmy is less efficient than a straightforward static website because the content of your blog posts will inevitably end up being federated to many other instances. That means multiple copies of your blog will be transferred between multiple servers and stored on multiple hard drives, etc. Whereas a static website lives in one place and doesn’t end up using so many resources.

At the end of the day, whichever you choose will likely have very little impact. So I wouldn’t worry too much about your blog’s green credentials.

I’m saying this as somebody who is pro protecting the environment, but also pro prioritising our efforts in the places they’ll have greatest impact. You’ll probably have a bigger impact by walking to the store instead of driving.
