Used Thinkpad with upgraded screen and retrofitted classic keyboard = perfection.

Migadu is good. Have also been happy with Runbox.

now maybe Psych?

You know that’s right.

True. The new series starts in 3 days.

Yes. Top Gear and Grand Tour specials are on ALL THE TIME over here. I think I’ve watched the Mongolia special about 20 times at this point.

The Good Place was really, really good.

From Derek and his wind chimes to “the wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while.”

Little Bobby Tables, we call him

Which usually requires an email address, in my experience, so it’s really only worth doing that if you already have an account at that site.

Protip: Use a VPN and connect to an EU country. You’ll see more of the single “Reject All” buttons.

OVERLAYS

Sorry for shouting, but they are very annoying.

NO I DO NOT WANT TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR NEWSLETTER, BLOGGER WITH A RECIPE I NO LONGER WANT

Nope.

It LITERALLY isn’t.

SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus from the coronavirus family, with a large genome. Its structure includes the spike protein that enables the virus to attach to and enter cells via the ACE2 receptor.

Rhinoviruses, on the other hand, belong to the Picornavirus family, and are non-enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses with a significantly smaller genome. Rhinoviruses attach to cells via the ICAM-1 receptor.

I believe the origin of the second one is Norway, where the weather is often bad, but people still like to go outside.

Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær!

You can actually self-host Pixelfed pretty easily

They certainly are! Meet Dr. Nick Riviera, who received his medical degree from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College:

The knee bone’s connected to the … something. The something’s connected to the … red thing. The red thing’s connected to my … wristwatch. Uh-oh

Not just listening, but also sending. Your instance also needs to be able to send your stuff elsewhere.

An instance contains a database that stores usernames, what users are subscribed to, and more.

It also contains code that requests data like posts, upvotes, links to images, etc. When you post something from your instance at your domain on a community on lemmy.world, your instance sends that post to lemmy.world and also watches that post so you’ll be notified of replies, upvotes, etc.

This is the “federation” that makes Lemmy work, and all instances that have users who interact with other users on other instances do it. So the answer to the question “who checks that” is: your instance and every other instance anyone on your instance interacts with.

Simply subscribing to a community from your instance is also part of federation, because you’re requesting data from other instances. These other instances require an address to deliver the data to, in the same way the postal service cannot deliver your mail without an address.

An instance is basically all the stuff that allows you to do the things you want to do on Lemmy. If you don’t want to set up an account on someone else’s server, you’ll need to do it yourself.

This is the easiest method I’ve found to set up an instance: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy

You will need a Linux server and know how to update, configure and secure it, and you will need to know how to point your domain name at your server via DNS A record.

If you can do those things, you can get a Lemmy instance up and running with that script in a few minutes.

The rack with my cluster is in a closet about 5 feet away from my desk. Performance with Thinlinc is great, video is no problem at all, no lag, even with my slow gigabit network.

Using a thin client at my desk to access multiple VMs depending on what I want to do is pretty ideal for me.

I Gentoo myself!
