For a few seconds this could have been a shit post. But when you see it, its shitpost.

Did some further reading on this.

Trump is appealing the James ruling. While the appeal is under review, he was still required to pay the penalty amount as a bond to stave off the possibility of the state seizing his assets.

While the bond amount has been reduced to $US175 million. The full penalty still stands if his appeal against the ruling fails!

Link to play the game itself...

Seems he didn't want to give up what he saw as his personal trophies and mementos. A physical cache proving that he was once president with access to top secret information, that he can brag about or leverage for self-gain. He's used to always getting his way, or negotiating a favourable 'deal', burying those occasions which fail. A lot of his actions are difficult to rationalise as a normal person.

Twin towers Sept 2001?

Using a voice assistant (like Google assistant), these understand how to treat plurals, so if you use the same base name numbered 1 & 2 you can say: turn on the (base name) lights and both come on without having to try to define scenes or explicit device groups or links. They can still be controlled independently, so I number in a sequence relative distance to the 'entrance' to that room, or left to right, you might want clockwise.

I use names related to the room, area or object, like: entrance light, dining table light, craft area light, fan light, hallway light, tv light, desk light, bed light, reading light, kitchen sink light. Numbered 1 & 2 if needed since usually want them on together.

Or may be further refined by type like: night light, down light, spot light, string light, stand light, lamp, bulb, LED etc.

Hope that helps with a few ideas?

Interesting set of 3 similar replays where B just walks off his crease without checking on the ball or umpire. 4th time? He had the dismissal coming.

Maybe for context could you share any reference article or graph which triggered this question? Increased in relation to what, since when?

Not in the US, but from materials read before, it is a combination of things.

Typical causes of weight gain in an individual is simply more calorie intake than is being burnt off. Across a population you can consider environmental, lifestyle and social factors which may contribute to this.

1. Higher calorie intake (super-sized portions, highly processed foods with high sugar and fat content, cheap convenient fast foods and drinks, expensive healthy/nutritional foods, growth hormones in meats?).

2. Less exercise (infrastructure not built for cycling and pedestrians, less manual labour jobs, Netflix, Home delivery services, etc).

Health education, Food Advertising/Sponsorship, Chain loyalty discounts, Low wages (poverty), and Political influences would all play a part.

Amazing work. Thankyou :)

Jerboa 0.0.37 now working fine for me, been hanging out to update.

Really appreciate the transparent communications.

This has been pinned a few days now. Site health was pretty dire with several long outages.

But subjectively in the last 48 hours things seem to be great. Noticeably responsive and login and activities haven't missed a beat.

StatusPage.io still looks very red though... Is the worst now mitigated?

Thanks to the stirling admins (and friends) for their work on this. Vive la Lemmy.World!

Suggest the typical hardware device troubleshooting. watch/tail your dmesg -w or kernel log as you add the extra drive. It's curious that the system itself doesn't crash, but from your description it still sounds like a power starvation concern or possibly high temperatures if this device is under heavy load.

I think a problem with blind voting is, who do the citizens know who represented them and acted in their interest, and therefore who they should support and vote for? Backroom deals and corruption would run rife. Greater transparency is better than less.

A conscience vote, where the party leaders do not enforce a particular party line, instead accept the will of the representative member (notionally on behalf of their constituents) should be more commonplace. This is essentially the same as getting an independent. Best bet is to break up the 2-party system.

The subtle variations and intensity just hook you in to the mind loop.

It can be done using some arcane browser extensions or in apps like Voyager.

There was a TIL post last week on similar topic. The OP shared a browser solution they found: https://lemmy.world/post/21852842

"Quote"

I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
3. Browse to Lemmy
4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

Agree with the VPS in this case. For sure you can create public-facing services in a home server or home lab, but to do so you need:

1. Domain name hosting.
2. an Internet Service Provider who will allow you expose port 80/443 web services and on a Static IP (most do not, or paid extra on business plans). OR use a Cloud proxy like CloudFlare which your home IP can be updated through a DynDNS service and served on private ports.
3. Setup NAT/Port Forwarding on your modem to route incoming requests to internal services. First to a firewall or threat gateway like PFSense, a web proxy like Traefik/NGinX, and security harden and maintain your modem, router, network and served applications.

If you're new to these things, Id start with something more mature for personal or family home use first. Like NextCloud, HomeAssistant or Jellyfin media server. Lots of YouTubers have covered how these can be set up as a reference.

Lemmy is still alpha, full of bugs and security vulnerabilities and needs regular hotfixes and babysitting. Permitting Joe Public into your home services is ripe for disaster unless you have the time and expertise.

Likewise. And still hearing the refrain 15 minutes later 😁

While we're at it, any recommendations for a Lemmy Android client that can do the same?

Jerboa doesn't appear to have anything other than blocking by: site, community or user.

Politics is big on instances like 'world' (which, despite the name, seems very US-centric), but others I have an account on its less of a thing.

Doesn't meet your power requirements (only up to 850VA) but i recommend Cyberpower Bric meets the rest. I have mine connected to my Proxmox host, usb passthrough to VM running HassOS with the NUT add-on. Neat little LCD and silent unless humming on battery. Can choose if you want an audible alarm enabled or put it on mute.

APC is still very well regarded UPS brand for small business, and your specs seems like they should be achievable across many leading brands. Have you looked into latest models for your spec?

Maybe share a list of candidates you're considering and can get opinions on those?
