Nuke it and reinstall from scratch. If windows was hardware activated before, you shouldn't need a key to reactivate it. It's tied to the hardware ID.

Either my brothers intellivision, or SimCity in black and white on an old Mac classic.

Unfortunately this removes anything marked as undefined, which also includes most of the English content. I've stuck to just blocking communities or whole instances where I can.

Lemmy could really use a tag system for communities, so you can opt out of things you don't want.

Hard ceramic on hard glass like that is really unlikely to make a seal of any meaningful force. Those dishes are not perfectly flat on the edges.

It's a sliding door, just do it slowly and carefully and you'd be fine.

Have you looked at Airalo? I've used then many times for esims

I think this is just a lemmy bug and not specific to us: https://lemmy.world/post/18706448

Disconnect the psu from all the devices, use a wire or paperclip to short the green wire on the atx connector to black wire.

If the psu doesn't turn on, that's where your problem is. If it does, it may be your mobo or something else.

If your atx connector doesn't have a green wire, google for which pin it is to turn the psu on manually.

I'd believe it. I've had hundreds of Linux servers that don't have any desktop Gui at all deployed on them.

Linux desktop users make up an absolutely tiny fraction of Linux installs.

I don't think any laptop is going to play games without cooking your genitals, it's just a lot of energy going into the gpu to be cooled.

Maybe check out Alienware? Since they're dell they're globally available afaik. Their warranty is pretty good from my experience, just get the on site accidental damage protection.

Dell used to publish full service manuals for their laptops, not sure if they still do. Just googling for the model & service manual should find it.

Hmm, I haven't noticed this myself. I wonder if it's because we're running 2 copies of the ui container.

I have seen a bug where lemmy thinks you're logged out until you refresh. I'm pretty sure that's a known lemmy bug though.

Does it happen if you've got the browser open and session going? Or only on a new browser window?

Has anyone experienced this on other lemmy instances?

Slava Ukraini!

 
 

I found this super interesting!

 

I've done a quick upgrade to bring us up to 0.19.2, which should resolve the recent federation issues.

Heads up that on 0.19.2 admins also have the ability to now view up/down votes in the UI (rather than having to dig through the DB).

More details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/13038619

 

First off before we get into this I want to make clear that I'm not just throwing shade at the specific instance involved, and I'd also like to avoid focusing on the specific content of thread. I think this is a larger issue that warrants an open discussion, this could have happened with any other instance on a wide variety of thread topics.

Context:

  1. [email protected] created this thread asking for people to resist Tucker Carlson being allowed into Canada - https://lemmy.ca/post/12683277
  2. A user on a very large instance reported the thread with the reason "Inciting Illegal Behavior"
  3. This report was seen and cleared by lemmy.ca admins, as it didn't violate any rules and definitely wasn't inciting any illegal behavior
  4. The external admins removed the post based on the report
  5. Sworkgeek was DM'ed by automod to let him know, otherwise he would have no idea the largest lemmy user base can't see his thread
  6. Swordgeek asked about cross-instance removals here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12724897
  7. Swordgeek asked about appeals for the removal here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12789496

There's more discussion around this in the threads linked above, they're worth a quick read.

TLDR: swordgeek made a post asking for political action and someone reported it with a fake reason, and an admin on a large instance removed the post. This removal would only impact their users, giving a largwe lemmy user base a selectively censored view of the lemmy.ca community.

It concerns me greatly that a lemmy instance can act as a censor and push the biases of their admins, on users who are completely unaware it's happening. It also concerns me that a user could manipulate other users, if admins aren't looking closely at the reports they get and just blindly remove things.

IMHO instance admins should not be moderating communities, that is the job of the community mods. Admins should only be involved in urgent + serious reports that are for things like CSAM, dox'ing, death threats, etc. All other reports should be left up to the moderators of the community to deal with.

If an instance wants to block a specific community or defederate then by all means, but instances selectively censoring content in a non-visible way? No thanks.

Can we have some sort of group policy that major instance admins should restrict their moderation activities, to significant rule violations?

Hi Everyone!

We're now running the latest lemmy 0.19 release, you can see more details here: https://lemmy.ca/post/11378137

Note that you will need to re-enable 2FA on your account, all users had it turned off as part of this

You will most likely need to log out and back in for your client to work properly.

 

Hi Everyone!

We've setup a shared account to simplify the process of contacting an admin.

Rather than messaging several of us, you can now contact @[email protected] and we'll all be notified.

A link to this user is also available in our main sidebar on the home page.

 

For those who haven't seen them, I'm a big fan of these "self watering" IKEA plant pots.

https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/ikea-ps-fejoe-self-watering-plant-pot-black-30117188/

Basically that means there's a reservoir at the bottom, a tube down, and a stick with Styrofoam on the end. The stick floats up when there's water in there, so you don't flood your plant.

Bottom watering is also great way to reduce things like fungus gnats, and apparently is better for your plants.

On top of all this they have shitty wheels on the bottom that make it way easier to move around big plants.

My problem was I have several large plants I want to put out for the summer and hook into my irrigation. A simple solution was just drilling a hole in the bottom, then shoving a rubber cork in it when its inside.

In the summer I just store the cork in the top of the tube (the orange bit).

It's a simple hack but works really well.

 

The world's biggest iceberg is on the move after more than 30 years being stuck to the ocean floor. The iceberg, called A23a, split from the Antarctic coastline in 1986. But it swiftly grounded in the Weddell Sea, becoming, essentially, an ice island. At almost 4,000 sq km (1,500 sq miles) in area, it's more than twice the size of Greater London.

 

What am I missing here? Why can't I unlock everything?

I had the same issue last season, am I doing something wrong?
