Minnesota welcomed a ton of Somalians during their civil war, and having a lot of Somalis attracted more Somalis and so on!

Your ideas sound reasonable! I found this community from /local and it sounds neat.

Very true! I look like an overripe fruit and I smell as though that fruit were a durian.

Tyrian is great fun, and open tyrian works fine. I recommend them.

I wish I looked as good bald as they do. I have a head as lumpy as an overripe orange.

I don't know why I didn't consider a snack-size Ziploc bag. That's so obvious!

Do people just carry loose cocaine in their pockets? Seems wasteful.

Android 16 will let you share audio to multiple Bluetooth devices at once in c/[email protected]

Mine were like $20, so I didn't expect much. Similar boat, I think.

Does my phone connect to both earbuds individually, or is one the primary and it passes on the audio to the other?

Huh. It never occurred to me to wonder how my earbuds keep in sync.

(solved) A movie about a settler wife whose husband takes a $100 bounty to fight for the Union. She is assaulted and goes to her saloon job covered in bruises. (self.tipofmytongue)

I only saw the 20 minutes or so I described in the title, but it looked interesting. Searching reveals lots of movies about the civil war, but as far as I could tell it wasn't really part of the story except as the reason the husband left.

It looked like a 90s movie, or possibly a 2000s TV movie. I didn't recognize any actors, but I'm bad at that so I can't assume the wife wasn't super famous.

The book is OK, not one of my favorites, but it's definitely got a lot of B5 in it. I found it in the used book store and had to buy it! Has anyone else read it?

[help] Triple boot system lost one of the drives in Grub. (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by clay_pidgin to c/[email protected]

I added more hard drives to my windows PC to dual boot as a test, then added another drive to actually play since I was enjoying Linux. My third OS isn't bootable any more. What have I done wrong?

Started off with Windows 10 on a SATA drive with an M.2 drive for more data.

Added a 2Gb NVME with Debian - this has become my daily driver. I haven't been to windows more than a few minutes a week.

Added another 250Gb SATA drive to test and play with another Debian install so I don't break my daily driver.

Tried today to boot into the test OS and It's just missing from GRUB? It doesn't show up as a bootable drive in my UEFI BIOS either, though the drive itself is seen.

From KDE Partition Manager in my daily driver Debian, the drives are:

/dev/nvme01 - the daily driver Debian

/dev/sda - the Windows OS drive

/dev/sdb - the windows M.2 drive

/dev/sdc - the test Debian drive (not booting)

I would appreciate help. While there's not much on that drive, I would like to continue my playing around.

Thanks in advance.

Recommend a software for TTRPG notes? (self.pkm)
 

Hallo, Hello, Hola, Aloha, etc.

I kept notes for a five year-long D&D game in Microsoft OneNote, which worked fine, but I kept wishing for more features. I'm hoping y'all can recommend something better suited to my desired use.

  • Page per game session (day), unless there's a better paradigm
  • Crosslinking easily, so that I can link every appearance of a character in the notes to a page for that character (or spell or place or organization or whatever). Is it possible for this to happen automatically by linking future uses of that word?
  • Some stats about frequency e.g. "this character has appeared X times" or "player X rolled a 1 Ytimes". Probably achieved by counting the number of times a page was linked to?
  • Ideally, but not mandatory, collaborative. I'm capable of self-hosting either full time but maybe some have a "share on local network" option to use during a session.
  • Inserting images
  • Open source is preferred for ethical reasons, but I can use proprietary or paid software
  • Don't care much about text formatting

I appreciate any input!

Suggestions for a two-child height tracker (self.woodworking)
 

Hello Lathe Ladies, Mitre Mates, and Plywood Pals!

I've been tracking my kids' heights on a wall for several years but I'd like a prettier solution. Something I can screw on the wall and mark their heights on (maybe temporarily and then go back with a wood burner or something). Ideally, sometime that's two identical adjacent pieces that I can give them if I'm ever lucky enough to be a grandparent.

A straight 7' board with a cutout for the moulding and burnt or painted 6" increments is the simplest solution, but can y'all think of anything nicer? I would prefer to keep it on a semi visible wall instead of the laundry closet.

Thanks friends.

How far in advance do you usually plan vacations? (self.asklemmy)
 

We're last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me!

How far in advance do you plan a small trip like a road trip or visiting family, and how far in advance for a big trip like international travel, a cruise, or Disney?

library summer reading challenge help! (self.books)
 

Hiya,

My local library summer reading challenge has a few items with which I could use y'all's help.

Read a book with a musical theme.

Read a book outside your comfort zone (I read mostly novels, and mostly sci-fi).

Read a book by an author from a different cultural background. (I'm a white American and I've already read Three Body Problem)

Read a book suggested to you.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

Older women, women with weight changes or visible disabilities, or transfolk of Lemmy - how has the male gaze changed for you? (self.asklemmy)

Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?
