This.

The bots can be helpful to grow an existing community with more content, but if they drown out legit users then you end up just hurting interaction.

As an owner of a fold 4, I wouldn't trust the folding screen.

Over time gunk gets into the hinge, it's unavoidable.

Bro was doing a graceful windows power off by hitting his front power switch. Not cutting it via the PSU switch.

Results invalid, needs doing over.

You can probably just buy a new atx power supply and drop them in. The standard hasn't really changed, just added new connectors and outputs.

If it's an AT power supply you'll need to find a used computer place. You can tell its AT if the power switch physically connects to the power supply (its actually switching the wall voltage) instead of the motherboard.

Large transformers are oil filed and not easily replaced afaik.

Hi everyone,

We'll be undergoing maintenance on Saturday morning from about 11am - noon PST.

We've been having some stability issues over the past few days that I've tracked down to database performance, so I'll be doing some tuning and also applying all our needed system updates at the same time.

Cheers!

Update: This is all done now!

You might see some brief downtime during the next hour or so, pictrs is currently upgrading its database.

Edit: Holding off on lemmy as Blaze was nice enough to flag some new bugs - https://lemmy.ca/comment/9660430

Edit: Pictrs upgrading taking longer than expected after the migration crashed, hopefully wrapped up soon!

Finally Done! We're all ready for the new lemmy version now, maybe once a patch release comes out.

Before everyone gets their pitchforks out - Person from the image posted on Hacker News, CEO replied and said this charge shouldn't have happened and they wouldn't be charging the client anything.

Watch the video. It just means external to the CPU, not an external device.

They demo the attack on a Lenovo laptop in the first minute of the video.

Edit: nm I just realized that was a 10 year old laptop and they're in all the modern procs. I'm a lot less impressed now.

Sounds like intel has external and amd internal with their ftpm?

I personally hate all the reddit cross post stuff, and it seems like the majority of lemmy users do too. I don't understand why people obsess over this as a way to "grow" lemmy.

It doesn't contribute to active conversations, in fact it deters users who reply locally and then never get a response.

Just let lemmy grow organically by making good content and contributing, stop forcing it with mirrors from reddit.

I wonder if we could get the top admins to threaten defederation with any instance that doesn't flag automated posts as bots. This way at least the users have some visibility.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 140 points 10 months ago

This is pretty normal, you get a surge of users and then it tapers off a bit as people don't like it.

Could be a lot worse, take a look at the user graph for threads.

Admins are in agreement that we don't want federation with Meta.

I don't see us currently federating with them - https://lemmy.ca/instances

We'll make sure it stays that way! I've added threads.net to our blocklist.
