FedEx board member David Steiner to lead US Postal Service in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

They already started fucking up package delivery with longer times. Priority mail is up to 4 days now. They closed a bunch of local sorting facilities and send everything to larger regional facilities. My guess is that they will privatize those if they aren't already. Say goodbye to eBay. I already started boycotting FedEx years ago for sucking.

I'm actually now having the issue when I install things with wine. The text on the header on top of the window is normal, but the installer is tiny. Not a huge issue, just weird. Games are mostly fine when I run them so no big deal.

Again with the bullshit intentional misrepresentation of what I said. It's sus as hell that there's such a push to destroy Lemmy when it's one of the few safe places for trans people online.

You probably work for meta or musk or reddit trying to kill the project.

I swear I've seen this exact comment in a similar thread some time ago. I think your take is flawed or even disingenuous. We all know that trans issues are manufactured outrage. Which is what nutomic appears to be saying.

This whole controversy with him reeks of comment baiting and using an off the cuff comment in order to undermine the Lemmy project. It's no coincidence that this thread came up right after the devs say that they are running out of funding.

Why is it suddenly time to defederate with ml when this happened months ago.? The only real negative thing he said is about trans sports, but honestly I don't think the lgbtq community gave a hot damn about highschool and college women's sports before.

I have too many family members who are Leo, plus other reasons why they shouldn't do that. Plus it would be homeland security or FBI for various other reasons. But it could be ICE because I know a lot of immigrants. It would be a clusterfuck.

I still think about this scene a lot because I've been there sheen relatively normal people casually talked about going to cities and shooting "democrats“ while also talking about the guns they were currently buying. I should have turned them in.

Used cards are going for a premium right now. I just sold my a310 for more than I paid and it sold almost instantly for $20 under current new prices.

Windows are tiny on Bazzite ( Fedora Gnome) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I bought my nephew a used thinkpad as a gift and installed Bazzite as it was recommended by the community. The text was tiny so I increased font size by 1.5, but certain windows like steam updating are still tiny and impossible to read. I want to give him the best experience possible out of the box. What setting do I need to change?

Best file partition setup for Proxmox with separate drives for security camera recording? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a small ITX pc with a 256gb ssd and two nvr drives for recording my security cameras. I have a google coral installed to run frigate. I'm doing a fresh installation and I'm not sure what the best partition setup is. I'd like to have all of my vm's and containers on the ssd and mirror the two separate drives just for video recording. I'll run backups of my vm's, containers, and configs elsewhere in case the ssd fails.

Preferably:

Available on Libby

Nonfiction

Not a biography/autobiography

Not a self help book or pop phychology

The narrator isn't annoying/breathy

How would you set up a loaner google tv box? (library as an example) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking into setting up android tv boxes or sticks for a charitable organization to loan out to people or possibly for their locations.

I have an ONN box with f launcher, button remaper, smarttube, etc.

I'd like to set that up and then when it comes back the hardware reset button can just be held down and revert to what I set up without going back to the out of the box state.

I think I'm looking for custom recovery partition or something like that.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
