That seems too harsh a penalty, it makes using an additional PU likely to mean starting from the back for ~5 races. It'd also hurt smaller teams worse - if your average qualifying position is 16th you'd be starting from the back for about 12 races.

Try it. The worst that happens is that it makes things slower and then you turn it back off.

I'd question whether the 45 degree option will really be optimal ergonomically. It'll mean that it's harder to get at the dishwasher racks from the sides while they're pulled out (since there's a cabinet door at a 45 degree angle to them). Particularly for loading the back of the rack, that'll mean reaching relatively far.

I have a dishwasher next to the sink, and I tend to load it from the side standing in front of the sink. If it was at 45 degrees the door would open so that I couldn't stand in front of the sink while it was open.

Obviously I haven't seen your floor plan, so there's maybe something I'm missing, but I don't see how a 45 degree angle could make the ergonomics better.

I think you're misunderstanding which ramp I mean. Looking between the wheels of the white car, it looks like there's a ramp the goes from the parking lot up on to the sidewalk. The white car would prevent a person using a wheelchair getting onto the sidewalk.

The white car isn't parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn't a space

I've always got them from eBay.

The T and X series are the high-end ones. Between those it mostly depends on what size of laptop you're looking for. Its worth checking a guide for how you replace the SSD/RAM/battery - some of the newer ones have these soldered in place, which means you're stuck with whatever it originally came with.

Personally, I think the sweet spot is around 4 years old. By that point they're pretty cheap (maybe 10% of the original RRP), and going for older ones doesn't save you much more money. I recently got an X390 and it's doing everything I need from a laptop

DNS = Domain Name System. This is used to lookup an IP address (e.g. 123.234.54.32) from a domain name (e.g. lemmy.ml). A DNS query is one of the first things your computer does when you visit a site.

Plain DNS is unencrypted, which means that anyone with the ability to read your requests (e.g. your ISP) can see the names of sites that you're visiting.

TLS = Transport Layer Security. This is a protocol that's used to create an encrypted connection between your device and another one, in this case the DNS server. When this is used, the content of your DNS requests is hidden. Your ISP can still see that you're talking to the DNS server, but not what you're saying to it.

TLS also allows your device to cryptographically verify the identity of the DNS server. Without it, someone with the ability to modify your connection could change the responses from the DNS server. That would allow them to send you back the IP address of a server they control, rather than the real servers IP.

It might mean that of all the eligible voters, 67% voted and everyone who voted voted in favor. So 67% voted for, 0% voted against and 33% didn't vote at all.

Thats good to hear, will edit the OP to add it. I do think my post is a fair representation of the original update though.

I've been browsing through new as a way of finding communities to join. The NSFW stuff in that feed is unideal but easy enough to ignore, whereas content that could send me to jail is a whole different ballgame.

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.

I see this behaviour too, without a URL checker app

I wouldn't bother with the concept of de-federation in a beginners guide. One of the most confusing bits of the fediverse to new users is picking a server. For most users, the one they pick doesn't really matter, but talking about defederation makes it sound like a really important choice.
