Crepuscular. Related to twilight, dimness, the golden hour.

The summer and autumn had been so wet,
In winter the corn was growing yet,
Twas a piteous sight to see all around,
The crops lie rotting on the ground.

-- Gods Judgement on a Wicked Bishop, Robert Southey, c. 1790

Based upon a legend about a real person from ~900AD or so.

I'm guessing Ford and Slartibartfast will try and get in to this floating party, and it'll hit Arthur in the small of the back somehow :D

Lol :⁠-⁠D I was referencing the comic, but... Heh, that's amusing.

Do you wish?????? by LazerFX in c/nsfw@lemmy.world

He's making a (personal opinion) bad joke about wish.com, which is borderline mlm/scam... On the wrong side of the border.

Nice tits, looking forward to seeing more of you around.

This will haunt you for years to come... It's seriously creepy. Brilliant, and if you're into that a masterpiece of it's art...

But very, very creepy.

I like this picture. The blur, the background bokeh, it's just... Nice.

Thanks for posting, you've a nice cat.

Is it technically possible to make a client version of this software? (sh.itjust.works)

So I'm looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that's FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).

I'm a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance "directly", or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app?

I can do the work, but before starting I'd like to know :⁠-⁠)

Ahem... I think you mean, "hexagons are the bestagons"

It astounds me that anyone thinks otherwise on Hamas. by LazerFX in c/noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

It's quite spectactular. I think the politcs on both sides are awful, and I really feel for the civillians who are just trying to live their lives under this bullshit. Both sides need to step up and take responsibility for their major, horrific fuckups and problems; and the west in general needs to take responsibility for kicking people out of their homes to make homes for others... but also both sides just need to stop fucking hurting each other for a minute in order to progress.

I love this concept and think it really has legs as a fantastic RPG idea...

My comment on the original post: It takes the *humanity *out of *alien/foreign/different *races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let’s work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don’t communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can’t concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you’ve got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines…

Self-hosted CM4 NAS - I have questions; sources, ideas and answers appreciated (sh.itjust.works)

So I'm looking to build my own CM4-based NAS appliance. I figure that I've got the time to build it, and it'll be cheaper, more powerful and more capable than an off-the-shelf appliance (such as a QNAP or Synology device).

I'm looking to use it for self-hosting, probably 2 - 4 SSD's to run it (Happy to spend the money on the drives, as I can spread that out over time)... will likely start with a relatively cheap 2tib 2.5" SSD like the Crucial BX500 and scale up as I go...

I'd like a relatively neat box - something like the Argon EON. I'd like to use the CM4 because it's got the PCI-E so you can use a relatively full-speed ACPI interface to the SATA ports, which rules out the Argon EON (Except, possibly, as a donor case). I don't have a 3D Printer, but I'd be happy to purchase a printed model from a makers group or similar. I'm happy to actually build up a unit (setting up fans, etc.) but I've no soldering experience whatsoever.

Software-wise, I've already got a RPI4 which I've been playing around with... Seems pretty good, and I had pi-hole running on it for a while (until SD card unreliability took it down).

Does anyone have any experience with a build like this? Any advice on what cases to use, what hats for the PCIE-to-SATA work best? Anything at all, really, that you'd advise?

Japan to release Fukushima water into ocean starting Aug 24 by LazerFX in c/worldnews@sh.itjust.works

[-] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So I googled what the background level of Tritium is in seawater. The general consensus is that this various based upon where in the world you are, but it's typically around 500 - 750 becquerels of tritium per m^3^. The amount they're releasing is 190 becquerels of tritium per m^3^, or in other words, they're reducing the average tritum radioactivity of the water...

So why is this news? Why haven't the journalists gone, "Stupid people don't understand how radioactivity and volumetrics work, and are complaining about the Japanese releasing water that is so highly treated it's cleaner than the ocean average."?

--edit-- Not going to edit the above, but @zifk@sh.itjust.works correctly pointed out I'd got my units wrong... and then they got their units wrong replying. And that's why we need good journalism who can actually look into this fucking stuff properly, and give reasoned responses!
