  • An instance is a specific computer a person uses .

    Let's say lem.ee is still up and you login there and have an account there but we both browse the rpgmemes on .ttrpg

    Lem.ee is an instance, lemmy.world is an instance the .ttrpg computer is an instance. Like different email servers , these computers all talk with each other to make it seamless. All of the computers use the Lemmy software.

    Now lem.ee has shut down, users can't login there , but a new Lemmy instance could be created by someone and connect to the federated network.

    But a university might run it's own instance of Lemmy, giving students an account and have their own communities which aren't publicly shared and they aren't federated.

    People can say there's an issue with federation where people may leave comments on another computers community but they're not visible to users browsing others. E.g. users on lemmy.workd might see it and .ttrpg but not anywhere else. They are meant to but an issue like slow communication is preventing it not permissions as such.

    A fork is a different version of software. Open source software licences allw people to modify and re release the programs.

    two developers might have different visions of what a software should look like , and if they want to split and make their own versions, that would be a fork in the development of the program.

  • Apologies for the flippancy in the comment. I wasn't questioning the species found or quality of the work, or trying to will something fictional into reality.

    After seeing the 'Unleashes Terrifying Discovery' and 'Scientists in Total Shock' I did an internal what if based on some things happening over the last few years, such as the level of consideration given to stopping a hurricane with a nuke without any apparent consideration of fallout and thought, 'yepp. that would fit right in'

    The comment could have been seen as something along the lines of a flat earther and is something which on reflection something i shouldn't have added to the c/science community.

  • This looks like a similar setup to some security doors I've messed with.

    Edit: what about using a unfolded paperclip and push from the other side. The plan I had when I started writing this probably won't work as accessing the key cylinder will only likely get access the keyhole.

    Edit2 id also hit it with a spray from a can of WD-40 (lubricant) and hope that helps work things loose.

    Below is probably useless but it was my train if thought initially.

    They have a removable part so the locks can be rekeyed easily by a locksmith by replacing some pins on the inside to match the keys.

    Edit 3 if removing fails and you need to replace a part, you probably could get away with just replacing the locking part and not the whole handle mechanism.

    In the ones Ive used a screw on the door matches up holding the locking cylinder component. Probably the one just above the deadbolt.

    Try unscrewing this to see if the cylinder the key is stuck in can be removed.

    Go very carefully as I don't know what is actually holding the stack of pins which match your key and if these pins fall out, finding which go where will be very hard and very fiddly.

  • Some owners were tamer. Burnouts weren't required. They sometimes had a parade through the city, blocking off streets and cops as part of it. I did notice at the end of it was a truck with a tilt tray so a break down of a car just doing 40-50kmph along a city road was planned for.

  • Might not be what your after, but the cars I'll point you to run well ... Until they don't.

    We have an annual car show over here, have a search for "Summernats" for videos. They have a burn out pad where you can melt some tyres.

    Some people restore cars and take them there for show. Some have excellent paint jobs , but a typical Summernats one has more horsepower than the original. This usually leads to a few redlining on the pad and exceeding a limit so that they catch fire or can't be driven home.

    Or at least, so I've heard...

    Not something urgent, but the Aussie parliament passed new laws yesterday and it could impact Lemmy.world (in a year)

    What are some parts of your agreements you consider non-negotiable? Or something you decided to add because you learnt the hard way?
