I mean sure, that would be great, but I don't have that.

Sorry, too busy posting from Arch (btw). And yeah... there should be another mountain in the distance in the shape of a penguin. Or, more specifically, some loose rock formations doing their damndest to compile Gentoo,

I have the problem of wanting to scroll endlessly like I'm some kind of Selacao.

I've got nothing to do most days other than scroll. If you curate like you're intended to do, content runs dry here fast. I'm doing my best to make new stuff for people here.

Let's do this:

Instead of this:


There is no need to attack here. They're just trying to figure out this odd space.

I agree. While 99% of the Star Trek stuff is humor, and most of the stuff posted here (outside of politics) is as well, I feel you. We've done great things covering hockey and F1. It's just that this kind of platform tends to attract a very specific demographic. If you don't see communities that fit your interests, I am willing to help you create and foster them.

I need to add that I am part of the problem with Star Trek

Puns? Illogical.

I wish I was in for prototyping. As is, I've specialized in non-metallic production parts (lots of power generation and medical). The few times that I can actually put my "engineer" hat on and make a prototype are few and far between, but I love it when that happens.

The feeling is mutual:

It would only be possible for Admiral Janeway with more than one fleet coordinating for the Zerg to be defeated. They aren't going to tend to attack with one ship at a time like the Borg.

Sure, but I highly doubt they are making policy where they work. I don't think most employers would be happy about some random researcher not only plugging in a flash drive from home, but using it to install unapproved software (a full OS at that).

 
 

Not exactly a self-hosting thing, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with this service. Is it worth it? A scam? I don't know. I don't really have the hardware to truly self-host a Lemmy instance (mostly because of storage restrictions), but I'd like to know if this service that seems cheap for what it offers if legit.

I know that this isn't a pure self hosting question, but I nailed .com domain for $1/year and was wondering if it's actually worth doing this. Any insight is appreciated.

Editing to add that I'd love to do pure self-hosting here, but storage is a real issue.

 

This is a long watch (2 hours!), but worth it. My biggest gripe is the licking of Berman's boots, but the overall presentation is fantastic.

Java Was The Future (files.catbox.moe)

A little background: Through my teens in the 90's I did a lot of the things you may expect. I was a script kiddie on mIRC, made a tank game in Unreal Engine, and did some Quake modding. From 2002-2004 I landed a job doing Java web dev, SQL, and overall database administration because my father's friend needed someone that could do that. I was ok at the job, but not great. Being young, my hobby that turned into a 9-5 made me want to stab my eyes out and I quit.

With that said, I can understand a lot of what's going on, but it doesn't "click" anymore. I spent 20 years as a career machinist, but I physically can't do that anymore. Here's the rub - my twin brother is a brittle diabetic and can't work (lots of other stuff going on as well), and our mother is getting old (father passed this year). The only reasonable way forward that I can see in order to be able to support my brother is trying to get back into development.

When I stopped, subversion was what we used. I'm trying to understand Git, but it's a giant conceptual leap. I guess, what I'd like to hear from you all is a way to jump back in as quickly as possible in such a way that it may be a career.

Thanks

I am by no means a constitutionalist, but Kirk is right here. Go vote, if you're in the US. There has, arguably, never been a more important election in US history.

 

These are paid services, but seem to be legit. I can't vouch for it since I'm not a customer.

 

This video has good stuff in it. I promise it is worth the watch.

 

This video sums a lot of stuff up fairly well.
