Warning: This is a rant.

I don't really know how to describe it but the content isn't quite where reddit had been for me. Also the comments are kind of weird at times, like they type of person here doesn't quite seem as 'normal' as what I'm used to from reddit.

There's a lot more open source and privacy focused people and conversations. A lot of people seem to hate on big tech and big companies in a sort of toxic-ish feeling way to me (not to say the other relationship isn't toxic.. just saying). Random conversations go into: "omg your privacy is lost cause you used a Google service." Then we have the 'if we don't defederate with Meta the world ends' conversations. I personally would like to see what Meta does in the fediverse.. maybe it will make it more normalized..idk. Then the: "if your app isn't open source its awful and terrible for the world" people.

Like that stuff is all fine, but it just isn't quite my cup of tea.

These things remind me of that one person in my comp sci classes in college who I just couldn't stand talking to. He would try to make you feel like an idiot by trying to sound all self righteous and smart. (Honestly he would fail and would generally look like a dingus).

The bulk of the content that gets comments seem to be mostly meme atm. At least on all (7/10 of the current top for me are memes). I like my memes, but would like some more breadth/depth.

Like I hope Lemmy continues to grow and hope it gets better, but it leaves me missing reddit at the moment.

In a perfect world I wish reddit corp wasn't such assholes and this whole thing didn't happen the way it did.

I'm completely skipping the UI and stuff not being as familiar and the various outages/bugs/etc since that's to be expected with something at this stage.

Please don't hate me :) Just sharing my unpopular opinion. Though I genuinely wonder if others feel the same way.

Go to %TEMP% and clean it out. I personally deleted everything older than 5 days. I have no idea why but this fixed an issue for me where it could take up to 3 minutes to get to the desktop after typing my password.

I somehow had like 100s of gigs of garbage in there. Funny enough doing a system cleanup does not clear out this directory!

The issue corresponded with an event in the Windows Event Viewer that looked like:

The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> is taking long time to handle the notification event (Logon).

And another that looked like:

The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 125 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).

(of course with a varying number of seconds depending on the boot)

Anyways, I'm not asking anyone for tech support in this case, but figure it may help someone else out.

I can't imagine why someone would watch this instead of looking for the specific video, unless they just need background noise.

You have a couple days left to buy stamps that can be used to mail letters after the price increase.

If you buy 10 forever stamps at 63 cents, you can use one for each letter in the future regardless of future price increases.

Stock up! Prices will likely never go down.

I bought a few hundred dollars worth to cover holiday cards for the rest of my life.

(Edited title since originally I said 6 instead of 7.. thanks for folks correcting me)

It has more content.. and fun?

How do people not use spell check before making signage?

My sister's house has this weird outlet. Any idea what it is?

On the left we have 2 older 2-prong outlets. On the right: .. something?

Location: US/Ohio

Since everything is about beans right now, I figured we should get in on it.

.. is there a better way to report?

Hey folks,

This is an update to: https://sh.itjust.works/post/580838

On https://github.com/csm10495/commit-ment, I made it to somewhere around 22 million commits. I can't imagine this is not a world record for commits to a single branch. In the middle of the night, I got an email from GitHub support saying:

A few minutes later, I got another email like so:

I've asked them if the two emails are related (and I guess if the first one is some sort of error since there was no personal info in that repo). I've also asked if they can give any information about what triggered the email and if they can give me more info about what it looks look on their side.

I've also asked if they can re-enable it so I can give one more commit to say the final results on the readme then (public) archive it.

We'll see what they say.

Doing a pull is interesting at the moment, it shows:

git pull origin master --no-rebase -vvv
ERROR: Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub staff due to
excessive resource use. Please contact support via
https://support.github.com/contact to restore access to this repository.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Similar thing happens if you try to clone: [email protected]:csm10495/commit-ment.git

So yeah, I figured this would happen sooner or later. I just hope they can tell me a bit more about what it looks like on their side since managing this repo on my box is a pain, I can't imagine what it could look like on theirs. I'm also curious how pull requests could merge at such a rate given that just doing a pull on my end could take minutes. So many questions!

This whole project was really just for curiosity on my end, so anything I can learn/find out is much appreciated on all ends.

Anyways, just figured I'd update y'all.

When pumping gas, most stations around here (California) have a little latch you can push to dispense gas and let go of the handle.

.. when you use that latch, does it pump slower? Is it supposed to?

I always feel like it does but figure it's a reasonable question for here.

Thanks folks!
