Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • Oh, for sure. My friend ended up setting up a permanent server. It's pretty cool because anyone of us can jump in and play at any time. Although anytime someone does it starts the clock ticking forward, which leads to consequences, as I'm sure you're aware.

  • Americans misunderstand their contribution to deteriorating environment
  • Do you have some concrete examples of some things that corporations could do to significantly reduce (not just greenwash) their contribution to climate change that would not immediately result in all their customers picking up torches and pitchforks, or just move on to their competitors?

  • Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • Sorry to hear. By the way, you don't even need to set up a server. Anyone can host within the game itself, so it can be a spur of the moment thing. Of the ones who own it, have any of them tried playing it, especially multiplayer? What the game lacks in terms of advanced graphics it more than makes up with gameplay, atmosphere, and depth. Good luck!

  • Welcome!
  • No problem, sounds good. Yeah, I don't know if the Lemmy search inculdes text in the community descriptions. I would hope it would, but I don't know for sure. Thanks anyway. I'm glad that your issue didn't end up being the monitor.

  • Welcome!
  • Sorry to hear! Thanks for creating this community though. Do you think you mention mention all the other Linux video editors in the description here, including Resolve, so that people find this community if they search for an editor name?

  • Hackers may have stolen the Social Security numbers of all Americans. Here's what to know.
  • Uh, I got bad news. If I search for my name, there are freely and publicly available online directories that show all my past addresses (and phone numbers) going back over 20 years. That's why I had to pay a service that searches for this crap and submits requests on my behalf to have them take it down. I think California's law where you can also ask once to be removed from all of them will go into effect soon?

  • As Trump unloads on Harris, even his supporters see her gaining ground
  • Everyone seems to use themselves as the reference point for what is too much or too little of anything. Hence the funny and wise quote from George Carlin:

    Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

  • [Question] For running Samba on a Debian host, what's the better solution? Native, LXC container, or VM?

    My environment is a (freshly installed) Debian server with ZFS pools. I would like to store files in ZFS and share them using Samba.

    My question is which is better from efficiency, effort, and security (for the host) perspectives? Running it natively on the bare-metal Debian host, running it in an LXC container, or running it in a VM? Why do you think one way is better than the others? I'm pretty familiar with VMs, but don't have much experience or knowledge of containers.

    This is what I'm thinking at the moment, but I would appreciate any feedback:

    1. Natively: no resource overhead, medium admin overhead (manual Samba configuration), least secure(?)
    2. LXC: small resource overhead, least admin overhead (preconfigured containers and/or reproducible configs), possibly more security than native(?)
    3. VM: most resource overhead, most admin overhead (not only manual configuration, but also managing virtual disk [including snapshots, backups, etc]), most secure

  • Don't you just love it that the "hope" dude (Obama) was the one to take away our hopes?*

    *Obama is widely considered to have orchestrated everyone except Biden and Warren dropping out on the same day, flipping the table for Biden.

  • YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores
    askthedentist.com Do Certain Toothpastes Cause Canker Sores?

    Many toothpastes contain an ingredient called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). SLS is a strong detergent and has demonstrated in several studies to increase canker sore outbreaks and pain.

    Do Certain Toothpastes Cause Canker Sores?

    I learned about this many years ago and the difference after I started using only SLS-free toothpaste was night and day. I used to get canker sores any time I would bite the inside of my cheek, hit my gums with the hard parts of my toothbrush, etc., and this completely stopped a while after I switched to SLS-free.

    SLS is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, by the way, and it's a detergent. From what I understand, the only reason why it's added to toothpaste is to make more foam when you brush. But the SLS-free toothpaste I use makes plenty of foam, so I have no idea why they add it. It's one of those things about the modern world that makes absolutely no sense. The ads and packaging should say in big letters: "now with even more canker sores!"

    Unfortunately, the vast majority of toothpastes on the market (at least in the US) have SLS. I can only seem to find SLS-free toothpaste in natural food/supplement stores. It's extra difficult to find toothpastes that are SLS-free but that keep fluoride too. The difficulty (and price? I haven't compared) is completely worth it to me though.

    TL;DR: The SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) in most toothpastes is unnecessary and causes canker sores (painful sores in your mouth and gums). If you have this problem, you will likely benefit from SLS-free toothpaste (some still include fluoride) that you can usually find at natural food stores.

    The "subscribe pending" issue with Lemmy communities has been mostly resolved now

    You should know that the issue with many communities on other Lemmy instances that you subscribed to showing a "subscribe pending" status has mostly been resolved.

    I looked in my subscribed communities list, found all the pending ones, opened them, unsubscribed (clicked the yellow "subscribe pending" button) and resubscribed. After that, I refreshed the page and I was now fully subscribed to them, regardless of which Lemmy instance hosts the community.

    The only exception, unfortunately, was with kbin communities. All the kbin.social ones still showed subscribe pending for me even after following the same procedure. Still, this is a big improvement over having a bunch of half-subscribed communities.

    I know that the pending status didn't have much of a negative effect on my end because I would still get those in my subscribed feed, but I hoped for the communities' subscriber numbers to fully reflect the actual number of subscribers.

    Unable to post to lemmy.world communities

    I don't know if it's just me, but I've been unable to comment on any lemmy.world communities for several days now. I have even verified that lemmy.world was up and running, but it didn't help. I presume that there's some federation problem, likely on their end. My solution for now will have to be to unsubscribe from all lemmy.world communities and look for alternatives elsewhere, unless anyone has any better ideas.

    Best community to ask Red Hat questions?

    I have an issue with some servers at work where I have been unable to determine the best course of action to address it based on pre-existing knowledge within my team or web searches. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to ask RHEL-specific questions? I don't want to presume that it's OK to post such nitty-gritty technical questions here.
