guess what just broke on my laptop after 2 years

I’m guessing it was the floppy drive?

My disaster recovery plan:

1. I plan on not having a disaster.

2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

My biggest problem has been that the ink always dries up, since I don’t print very often, and a laser printer has solved that for me. Now, about 3 years later, the black toner is still at 90%, and still working reliably.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.

I like how it basically generated the Ubisoft logo.

It’s the Scunthorpe problem.

Nothing’s more permanent than a temporary solution.

Calckey sounds like a calculator/math/graphing application and Firefish sounds like another generic fork of Firefox.

They’re implying that all the posts must be astroturfing.

Kbin is tolerable in a mobile browser, but it actually becomes quite good once you decide to use Firefox on mobile and install the Tampermonkey addon along with some community userscripts to improve the functionality. Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, so it’s just playing catch-up right now.

On PC, I very much prefer Kbin’s user interface (but still with custom userscripts and a few minor changes to the theme I use).

I’m gonna get crucified for saying this, but… I write a lot of my scripts in PHP. It’s just a language that I’m very familiar with.

I use Podgrab to archive the podcasts I listen to, but these are all freely available podcasts.

Correct, it’s completely different software.

They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.

Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.

but not every instance is necessarily running Lemmy right? Or are all the different sites like beehaw and kbin and such also running Llemmy?

Most instances are running Lemmy (the software). Kbin (the software) is an alternative to Lemmy (the software), though they can speak to one another, because they both use the ActivityPub protocol (same as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and so on). Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, but eventually more instances running Kbin will show up.

But then they can’t force you to get Discord Nitro.

I mean, it’s insanely easy to avoid being crushed at the bottom of the ocean in a homemade discount sub that everyone has tried to warn you is unsafe

Tell me about it! I’ve been able to avoid it for 30 years, and I haven’t even really been trying that hard!

I use Google Podcasts and it works great for me. I’m not looking for audiophile-level uncompressed audio with podcasts, the way I normally would be for music.

Has worked for a long time in my Danish version of Windows 10.
