  • ‘Beyond cruel’: Newsom retaliates against this LA suburb for its ban on homeless shelters
  • ALostInquirer ALostInquirer Now 100%

    The move — the latest escalation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pressure campaign on cities to help solve the housing crisis — means Norwalk could lose eligibility for state housing and homelessness grants, and be forced to approve affordable housing projects even if they conflict with city zoning.

    I'm confused, how would they fund the housing projects they may be compelled to approve without the grants, given that some of the contention in all of this is an insufficient provision of resources?

  • ALostInquirer ALostInquirer Now 100%

    Are the chokers somewhat adjustable to fit different size necks? Do you have any dislike or fear of giraffes? If yes and no, you might look into getting some giraffe dolls that are firm enough to basically wear and display the chokers and ease your selection.

    You could even slightly decorate the giraffes to help in sorting them, supposing the wearing of chokers wasn't enough for your tastes.

    Interesting, thanks! It sounds like you could hide the ability to vote either way then on an instance's frontend, but as you say, it wouldn't really do much to address voting activity from either other frontends or instances.

    Yeah, that's along the lines of what I'm asking about, albeit instead of a subscription check more like, I think, however the instances disabling/removing downvoting have done so, but adjusting the scope strictly to the Local or All views.

    Another approach to addressing outsider/passive voting behaviors.

    Given that instances can disable downvoting altogether, it led me to wondering...

    Aside from personally posting more regularly there, any advice or ideas for getting !likethismaylike@lemm.ee going? Had a few people early on posting and even some people beside myself replying to them, but it rapidly trailed off from there and felt a little too much like I was only using it for myself.

    Started to make other types of post to help show it's as much for sharing as asking, but while the posts had some passive positive attention, it didn't net much more activity.

  • Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?
  • ALostInquirer ALostInquirer Now 100%

    Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

    Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

    Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.

    Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, "You endured it!" paperwork in the world.

  • Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well. Thanks in advance!

    For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users. Would it be possible to make it so bot comments don't add to the counts for regular users, or at least for those that have disabled the display of bot posts/comments? As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.
