That's an unnecessarily rude response. Even in the baking community, it should be fine to ask what goes into their decision to bake bread, or why they choose to bake bread instead of spending their time baking other things instead. Even if he already made up his mind, it's fine to be curious about the motivations others.

He didn't tell you what you can or can't do, or what you should or shouldn't do. He didn't jellyfin is bad or that self hosting in general is bad. He wasn't rude.

You say it's an important life lesson to get that it's ok for other people to have different tastes and priorities, but it's also healthy to ask people about those tastes and priorities.

Because IT people run Lemmy, and IT people are surprisingly often furries.

Also there is no "algorithm" in the way people usually mean it. For better or worse, there is just a few basic ways of sorting your feed.

Finally, in my entire 3 years on here, I've never seen any NSFW furry stuff. Now, I rarely ever use the global feed, and my instance isn't a general purpose mega-instance, so that probably plays a large part in it.

I just let each docker stack get its own.
Often different services need different versions or update between versions at different cadences, so I don't want to deal managing all that.

I actually saw a recent interesting video giving more credence to this being a scheme to offload his bad debt:
Exchanges are all lowering their entry barriers for retail investors to buy the stock, but increasing their barriers for selling the stock quickly, which basically means that clueless retail investors (who get an unusually large share reserved for them) are allowed in but have the door shut behind them, end up left holding the bag.

But still I wouldn't bet on the market being rational

Don't bet in it. The market isn't rational. Look at Tesla's current valuation compared to companies like Toyota.

For a startup.

When you have a virtual monopoly and are the company with the world's highest valuation, you shouldn't be in growth mode anymore. This valuation is bananas

Trick question, you shit your pants

I completely misunderstood this image.

I thought the gorilla was actually a dog-man without a head, and the gorilla arms were ears attached directly to the neck, and the gorilla legs are arms, and instead of being on the table, the headless dogman was taking a selfie from above the OR, and while wearing corded earphones.

I can't explain how I got there.

You're acting like you could predict this year based on 2 data points.

 

She is so proud of me, she tells everyone

 

I cum in the shower, instead.

 

Imagine living in a universe where, without even trying, you can run so fast that if you trip, you will die and splatter your body over a couple hundred meters of ground. And if you trip into someone, it'll kill them and possibly an entire pile of people.

Like, in motor racing, the cars get wrecked but the drivers are fine. In the movie Cars, they all die. The race spectators are watching a blood sport.

 

What is a bread roll if not all crust?
What is toasting, if not making the whole piece of bread more crust-like?

 

When toilets try to save money by reducing the amount of water they use per flush, but you end up having to flush like 3 times 🤬

 

What would you put in your second aid kit?

 

Be me.
I've started sitting down to pee because it's cleaner.
Stand up after I've finished peeing.
Pull up pants.
Turn around to flush.
There is poop in the toilet.
I forgot that this time I had sat down to poop.

 

In old plays and stories, such as Romeo and Juliet, poisons are depicted as being fairly fast acting.

Would they really have had access to such poison, or was it simply creative license? What would a realistic depiction of a poison of that era be?

 

I'm trying to figure out a ruling for something one of my players wants to do. They're invisible, but they took a couple of seemingly non-attack actions that my gut says should break inviz.

Specifically, they dumped out a flask of oil, and then used a tinderbox to light it on fire. Using a tinderbox isn't an attack, nor is emptying a flask, although they are actions , and the result of lighting something on fire both seems like an attack and something that would dispell inviz.

I know that as DM I can rule it however I want, but I'm fairly inexperienced and I don't wanna go nerfing one of my players tools just because it feels yucky to me personally without understanding the implications.

Is this an attack or is there another justification for breaking inviz that is there some RAW clause I didn't see? Or should this be allowed?
