If this is a hard requirement for federation, then I guess federated services are not for me, as I value my privacy more than I care to use them.

How do you know who you're defederating with? When I set up my instance, the list of federated instances was thousands. How do you know which one is scraping the data?

Admin access means nothing if you can set up your own instance in an afternoon, federate with everything, then get all the votes copied to your database. I have done this just to prove it could be done, btw.

My family had a trailer growing up and ours was stolen from in front of our house. It was never found.

My mom got run into by a trailer that was rolling down a hill. Luckily my mom decided she was a superhero that day and was able to push the trailer to the curb to stop it from rolling down any further (it was a pretty steep hill). She got away with only a broken ankle.

So I say yeah. Tell them.

Maga Man X on the SNES. I still vividly remember the first time I ever beat a boss in it, too. I remember running out of my room to look down the loft to the living room area and screamed to my mom that I finally beat Chill Penguin. She wasn't impressed. I immediately went back to my room and beat another boss. Then another. After probably a couple of years of just dying over and over, something clicked that day, and I was able to beat all the bosses. And I have been hooked on gaming ever since.

I just got 100% on Nier Automata, and I only loved it more as I played it more. Usually I hate any grinding in any game and will either skip any content that requires grinding, use mods to bypass it, or just put down the game and move on to another one. But the whole game just felt so damn good. I could just walk around for hours doing nothing because the movement felt so good.

There was quite a bit of grinding, but I didn't find any of it too bad. I got 100% in about 50 hours, which is my sweet spot. Any longer and I feel like the game is dragging on.

sudo systemctl restart vaultwarden.service

Done. :)

Thanks for the heads up.

A dakimakura, AKA a body pillow. Needs an anime character on it, obviously.

I read that by the time MS acquired Tango and Hi-Fi Rush was released, most of the developers and management had already quit, so MS basically only owned the IP anyway. Tango allegedly had nothing in the pipeline, and the few people who were left were working on nothing, and there were no leads to start the process of developing a new game.

Not sure how true it is, but in that case it would make some sense to just shut down the studio, because the alternative would be essentially starting a studio from scratch.

Of course, this begs the question of why all these developers left. I can speak from experience a bit here. When it was announced that a small company I worked for was acquired by a mega corporation, everyone quit because the company we were being acquired by had a reputation of being a horrible, toxic workplace. This is obviously just speculation, but I could see something similar happening here.

That's my main problem with Signal. They refuse to add features because they can't be perfect. I damaged my old phone beyond it being usable and got a new one. Now it's impossible for me to get my conversation history, because the only way to keep it is to do a backup in the app and then manually move the backup file, then restore it on your new phone. Oh, but you can't backup and then restore to your laptop. That would be crazy talk. It's impossible to get your conversation history to your laptop.

That's a satire article

100% agreed with all of this. Well said.

So if I don't have a camera on my laptop, I'm good?

It did 4 passes by default. It took almost 3 hours to run on 16 GB of RAM.

It's possible there is an issue with the WiFi. I had lots of WiFi issues on this laptop when I used Windows (micro freezing when using typing into an SSH shell, and pings would drop at the same time), but since switching to Linux, those went away. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'll try using wired network if the issues come back after swapping SSDs.

Well, I reinstalled this morning and I'm keeping the nouveau driver this time instead of going with the proprietary. I don't play play games on this laptop anymore since I set up sunshine/moonlight, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I just reinstalled on a new SSD this morning. Fingers crossed it all works out! It usually takes a few weeks for the issues to start happening each time, so I guess I'll just wait in agony until then. 🥲

I will try this once I get my system back up and running tomorrow! I'm going to install the distro on a new SSD and see what happens.

Yeah, I just ordered a new SSD. I'll give that a try when it arrives tomorrow. Smart says it passed, but suspect my SSD enough that I think it's worth it to just try another SSD.
