This is the answer. Clear, concise, and correct,

Same issues here. I love GOS but I need basic things like SMS/MMS/RCS to work, and right now they just don’t.

Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

Welcome to the fediverse!

Definitely search for the communities you are interested in and click subscribe. There may be several similar communities on different Lemmy instances with different rules or vibes. Also, if the subscribe button says subscribe pending, you can ignore that.

Lemmy is amazing to be a “knight of new” as it were because the cross-talk, noise, bots, etc are just not there like they are in reddit. I’ve found communities I never would have known about.

Keep in mind Lemmy is very actively developed. If you do end up staying with Lemmy consider tossing a few dollars to the devs. I’ve always found the devs courteous and approachable when I’ve encountered a bug.

You’re good. Being a smaller engine though, I wouldn’t go much past that.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

Good luck

FYI: There’s currently an open issue with crossposting on instances using the 0.19.4 lemmy ui.

In a nutshell, the post submission page reloads after it retrieves the community to crosspost to, so everything but the selected community is wiped out.

It’s a bug in 0.19.4. I opened a GitHub issue for this in the lemmy-ui repo.

Gonna do some research/reading about this and I’m being objective.

Thanks for sharing and replying so quickly.

Would you mind posting a link where I can read more about this?

Oblig. XKCD:

Try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as the external DNS in your router for testing. Does it work then?

Also, you may have DNS cached somewhere. You can flush your Windows DNS cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.

Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.

No-fail kitchen garbage bag replacement.

0. Buy high quality (not Walmart) plastic kitchen bin. Note bag size printed on giant, impossible to remove sticker.

1. Buy proper bag size from name brand. You can spend a bit of money up front, or spend your valuable time later cleaning up garbage juice. Your call.

2. Remove bag from roll.

3. Open bag and scare the crap out of the dog by inflating the bag with swift, loud, jarring noises.

4. Place bag in bin. DO NOT ATTACH YET.

5. Starting at one corner, seal the bag around the edge while simultaneously reaching into the clean bag and forcing air out from between the bin and bag.

6. Work your way around until entire inside of bin looks like a reverse condom.

7. Good to go.
