Migrating here (or maybe keeping both) from @[email protected]
Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.
Well I'd just tell them if I was recommending it to a friend or making a post like "follow me to mastodon" or whatever, and someone curious enough to find mastodon without a recommendation oughta be able to figure out an instance to join, mastodon.social is the first result when searching "mastodon" so it'll probably get them just based on that.
Tbf the internet is entirely comprised of like 6 websites if you ask the average Joe, and I'm damn inclined to agree as someone who remembers webrings fondly and misses geocities (it's like the bell curve meme lol, and btw yes I know about neocities I'm just sleeping on it).
But I agree, if they can email they can mastodon, it's the same shit.
Evidentially mastodon makes it hard to find people on purpose unless you know their name "to stop harassment" I'm told, except I'm not sure how it does that at all and it just makes it harder to use the damn platform. That's my one real complaint about mastodon.
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, but that was a joke. I am indeed aware of the existence of other email services.
Like Mastodon.social? Afaik it has been around since the beginning and is basically the "default" server unless you're a "hacker" and you're on infosec.pub or whatever, an edgy 4channer and you're on poa.st, a SubGenius on "Bob's" server dobbs.town, or one of the many pervert servers, or one of the asain servers I can't read, but if you're on one of those (for instance dobbs.town) you're joining dobbs.town and mastodon is just there incidentally. Anyone else can just use .social and call it a day until they find out they're really into plants.space or some specific thing.
Hell all the people I've gotten on masto that's how I did it, "Ok make an acct on mastodon.social, great now lemme follow you what's your name? Cool, see there I am! Oh I'm not on mastodon.social, I'm on dobbs.town, but we can still communicate like how I email your gmail from my protonmail, is normal. Now, there's some servers you're gonna want to block..." I don't even tell them about federation until they're already there, unless I KNOW the server they'll want (like when I recommended my Discordian friend hop on discordian.social instead of mastodon.social.)
The real kicker is that none of their precious celebs they follow are on there, as you mention. The weirdos I talk to don't care about that so it works out for me lol.
On Mastodon, you must pick an instance, for some weird "federation" tech reason, whatever that means;
On email, you must pick a server, for some weird "server" reason, whatever that means;
It's literally no different than deciding "should I go with Gmail or hotmail msn yahoo" fuck ok I guess there really is only one email provider now. Huh.
Because they gotta go all the way around the rim of the world man, just is what it is.
I read this as "Hoeposting" and frankly it would have fit there too lol.
That packing the court bit is a great idea so long as you can make sure your guy wins forever and nobody bad will ever get in and pack the court again in their favor. It's basically MAD, nobody wants to be the person to open that Pandora's Box.
After All, Why Not? Why Shouldn't I Keep It?
Well, I have heard some from like comedians or whatever, and maybe back when I was in school some dickhead I don't talk to would make some joke, but those are a far cry from "friends," who I do talk to. Now working in a corporate environment, no, I definitely don't hear HR bait like that ever, most people are a tad smarter than that it seems.
It could be that I'm "friends" with my "friends" because "none of us are the type to rape people" and stuff, of course. Maybe you're just hanging out with rapists and I'm not?
And when did I say I was worried about being killed? Statistically if I am, it probably was my partner, since that's how that works, but I'm simply speaking on the logistics of educating my friends about rape, it's just not something that's gonna come up like that, we're just trying to play spades and sip some whiskey we're not interrogating each other over our sexual history.
I gotta ask, do you think guys just sit around saying shit like "bro I was raping this girl just the other day.." or something? Or should I just go "Now Tommy, it's important for you to learn about consent. Yes I know you're 10yr older than I am, but I was told by internet people I have to educate my friends" instead, just make the conversation happen?
Idk about you guys but me and my friends barely even talk about sex much less details that would be criminal, which people usually try to hide. Usually the farthest it goes is "What up dude you trying to chill tonight?" "Nah sorry man I'm trying to get laid tonight, wyd tomorrow?" And then tomorrow.. "So how'd it go, get laid?" "Ye." "Nice. Yo check out this album I downloaded last night..."
And when you find out your friend has raped someone which always is found out through the girl, not the friend, because again these people know they're committing literal crime, you don't sit him down and explain what he did wrong as if he didn't know, you call the cops or you cut contact, maybe some violence thrown in. It's like that meme "nobody is recommending OSes to their friends" (of course haha linux, but that's where the parallel falls apart.)
Nobody's, cat just don't like walks. I can show pics though if you'll just stop running!
No fair! My cat is at home, so you can't see me snuggle her little face.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 11/13/2024
List is up! Let's see, I'll be grabbing:
Toxic Avenger #2 - I was skeptical this would be a cheap imitation/just cashing in on the name, but the cover said "A message from Uncle Lloyd" and I wanted to read that alone, so I picked it up (#1). It was actually pretty good as far as a modern retelling goes, nothing will beat the OG but I will finish this out.
Black Hammer Spiral City #1 - I've only read some Black Hammer but I want to hunt down the rest, it was good!
Groo Minstrel Melodies #3 - I see Sergio, I buy Sergio.
Helen Of Wyndhorn #6 - End of the road, this series has been pretty good, I'm hoping for a spinoff/sequel that shows more of the magical world or Helen (or anyone's) adventures there.
Life #3 - This series is alright so far, two different perspectives in one book.
Time Waits #2 - Ngl I have to read #1 still before I pull the trigger, but I'll do it today.
Space Ghost #7 - Space Ghooooost!
That's it for me, what're you pulling this week?
Night of the Living Cat
A TRUE CAT-ASTROPHE! Kunagi and company manage to return home with their new friend, the super-intelligent cat Jones. Everyone’s happy to have a cat to dote on! However, the good times don’t...
Not usually a manga guy but the one I read just recently dropped chapter 5 in english. It's exactly what you think, zombie parody but the zombies are adorable kitties and hard to resist, but if you snuggle one you become a cat yourself!
I even got sick of zombie stuff in like 2008, but the two exceptions are this here manga and a live action Japanese film that will go unnamed. Both are just so funny they get a pass.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 11/06/2024
New list is up!
FML #1 - "Genre bending," "Metal kids," "apocalypse." Alrighty then, I'll check it out.
One For Sorrow #1 - DSTLRY is an easy sell to me, and this looks pretty neat. 1900 london, criminals getting murdered by a mysterious figure dubbed The Magpie due to the feathers left on corpses.
I Hate Fairyland #17 - Aww shit, Happy's back.
Sacrificers #12 - Sacrificers rules!
Cruel Universe #4 - I'm one behind on this actually but I'll keep it going.
That's it for me, what's on your list?
SimpliSafe bypass
Hey flipper comm! I just watched the LPL's video on how he bypassed SimpliSafe's door chimes with a 433.92 mhz signal broadcast from a generic remote to basically jam the weak signal output by the chime and bypass the alarm. Apparently it can also be done with a ham radio but they output too high of a signal and trip the radio interference notification on the alarm, and I immediately started wondering if the flipper would trip it or not.
A friend of mine has simplisafe and he said we can test it when I go see him in a couple months, but my problem then becomes "I don't know shit about Sub-gHz > Add Manually." There's so many protocols even just for 433mHz and I have no clue what the difference is between most of them (though I know KL and Security2.0 are rolling code protocols). Does anyone here know anything about them or which protocol it may use, or does it even matter?
Lpl didn't say the brand or I'd search the FCC ID and it seems that the one he used is no longer sold on amazon (probably due to his video haha.) There also seems to be a reddit thread related to flippers and simplisafe but unfortunately I absolutely refuse to install the app to see it.
Any help on the "Add Manually" would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to spend 4hr trying it out manually adding this and that protocol day of, we're gonna have drinking that needs to be done lol.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 10/30/2024
New list is up! Sorry I'm a day later than usual lol, busy week so far already!
Batman The Long Halloween The Last Halloween #2 - Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na BAT-MAN!
It Happened On Hyde Street Devour #1 - The only horror book that looks good to me coming out this week, a day before Halloween no less. Seems they all came out last week lol. Hyde St #1 was great though, so I'm sold. Sad state of affairs. At least Creepshow Vol 3 is underway!
Come Find Me an Autumnal Offering - Looks interesting.
Deadpool Team-Up #3 - Deadpool & Dragons has been ok so far.
That's it for me this week, real light one! What's on your pull lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 10/23/2024
New list is up! Some good stuff for me this week it looks like,
Termite Mound #1 - I'll look at it if my shop has it, looks weird, I know nothing but the cover.
DC Horror Presents #1 - Not huge on the whole DC verse but do love horror, may look at this too.
From The DC Vault Death In The Family Robin Lives #4 - I do like Batman though sometimes!
Creepshow Volume 3 #2 - Creepshow is what Epitaphs of the Abyss wishes it could be. I wish they'd just make it an ongoing rather than seasonal but as long as they keep making them with some regularity I won't complain.
Moon Is Following Us #2 - #1 was interesting, seems to be about basically a kid who got Matrixed into their own dreams and can't get out, and the parents have to enter the kid's dreamworld and adventure-to-rescue.
Nullhunter #1- "NULLHUNTER is a kinetic cyberpunk retelling of the Labors of Hercules." Huh, neat, I'll bite.
Universal Monsters Frankenstein #3 - I love the old Universal films, and this comic has been doing them justice.
That's it for me, what's on your lists this week?
Horror Smash Hit 'Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees' is Officially Getting A Sequel in RITE OF SPRING
YESSSS! It's coming!!
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 10/16/2024
New list is up! Not toooo many for me this week.
From The World Of Minor Threats Barfly #3 - Ayyy Shiteater is back! This series is pretty good
Batman And Robin Year One #1 - Batman eh? Ok.
Batman Full Moon #1 - Werebatwolfman? Or Bat V Wolf? Guess I gotta find out.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #3 - Turtles for adults is soooo gooood. Need more!
Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #5 - Well y'all already knew this was on the list, I can't shut up about this series.
Epitaphs From The Abyss #4 - Last one was ok, I'll get this one. Creepshow is so much better though.
That's it for me, what're you picking up?
Вот пуля просвистела (полный вариант)
Hello lemmy's !music consortium. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this song, and being that it's lemmy, I'm assuming "probably." I've been looking for this song since Metro 2033 (game) came out, and I finally found it just now! It's sung by a guard right before you watch how Unkle Bourbon "works." (I had already found Гоп Стоп by Aleksander Rosenbaum). I didn't know where else to post this, being that it is music I came here, hope that's ok.
Now the issue is I'm a little lost on the historical context, and I was hoping one of the .mls out there who may have a bit more knowledge of the russian civil war could shed some light on it because to be frank I know nothing about it.
It seems to be a Cossack song, and anti Bolshevik? I translated the ru.wiki.whatever page and it seems to suggest the writers are a couple of punks with cool ass nicknames like "solid" and "not good" that pulled lyrics from a couple historical tunes, and that there was a 4th verse in the OG that is now oft omitted much to the chagrin of those authors, who call it "white guard pink snot" or something, what the hell does that mean?! Is the song supposed to be just generally anti-communist or is it...well...idk, really any insight into this tune would be much appreciated. Like I said I don't know much, I basically know the "reds" are the Bolsheviks and that's it.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 10/09/2024
New list is up! Come and get it! Let's see, for me...
Minor Arcana #2 - Jeff Lemire rules. Minor Arcana is good so far.
Groo Minstrel Melodies #2 - I didn't know Groo was still around until issue #1!
Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #5 - Been pretty good so far.
Life #2 - I'll be honest I still haven't read #1, I'm slacking.
Space Ghost #6 - Space Ghoooost! Can't wait until he gets booked on the talk show. Looks like Moltar is about to show up!
Geiger #7 - Super FalloutMan has been good, I'll keep going
Precious Metal #5 - I'm a little behind on this too but it's ok, I like the art a lot.
Looks like that's it for me this week, what's on your lists?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 10/02/2024
New list is up! Looks like a decent one..
Minor Arcana #1 - Honorable mention, this one is getting a second print. I'm all in so far with just #1. A woman returns from the city to her hometown, in part because of her failures, and in part because her mom is sick. Her mom runs a Tarot shop, the daughter thinks it's all bullshit scams but ends up running the shop and it turns out maybe it's not all bullshit after all, seems like she'll be talking to her sapphic old love from high school shortly.
Plastic Man No More #2 - Yeah I like Plastic Man now, he's funny!
Falling In Love on the Path To Hell reprints #1, 2, 3 - Most honorable mention. Image now bills this as "your favorite new ongoing" and I think they're right (because Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees isn't an ongoing...yet?...but anyway), it's damn good! Basically a Cowboy man and a Samurai woman wash up on the beach in purgatory after dying at the same time, and honestly I don't want to give away any more than that, it's fucking good. One of my favorite colorists too, Chris O'Hallorhan, who does Ice Cream Man.
Hyde Street #1 - Ghost Machine's (Geiger, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus) newest offering. I'll check it out for sure, since it's horror, but I'm not gonna lie the only thing I'm following is Geiger so far so we'll see.
I Hate Fairyland #16 - Yup! New arc!
Cruel Universe #3 - Cruel Universe is great! Honestly scarier than their horror offering so far, however Epitaphs #3 was pretty good!
That's it for me, what are you getting this week?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/25/2024
My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #5 - Last one in this dumb ass series lol, why not.
Helen Of Wyndhorn #5 - This series has been good, I kinda hope it gets picked up.
Batman The Long Halloween The Last Halloween #1 - I guess I'm going to pick this up, but I haven't read the first series.
Lobo Cancellation Special #1 - Idk much about Lobo but this looks alright.
Creepshow Volume 3 #1 - It's here! The first two were so good! Need more. MORE!
Drawing Blood #6 - Tbh I've been slacking on this one but I'm still picking it up, I'll get to it.
Universal Monsters Frankenstein #2 - Really dug the first one, I'll keep picking this up.
Dick Tracy #5 - Dick Tracy rules! I need to buy a yellow trenchcoat for no reason.
Deadpool Team-Up #2 - Deadpool & Dragons™ I guess. Pretty weird but I'm giving it a shot. I'm not usually into marvel but I do like old Deadpool (and & Cable) and I think I'm gonna pick up whatever Deadpool Liefeld does, probably not any other stuff though (though I heard Scott Aukermann wrote one and I would like to find that lol).
Looks like that's it for me! Fucking hyped about Creepshow! What're you guys picking up?
Falling In Love On The Path to Hell
Howdy partners, got a weird western y'all might want to partake in here.
Falling In Love On The Path To Hell is a new ongoing comic series being released by Image Comics currently. Issue #4 came out last week, and reprints of 1, 2, and 3 are coming out next Wednesday (10/02/2024). If you're looking for physical copies, here's a site that will help you find your nearest local comic book stores.
The basic story so far, is MacRaith (that handsome devil up front with two Colt Navy 1851 revolvers) and Asami (that beautiful Samurai in the background) die, and wash up with the corpse tide on the shores of Purgatory. They're "alive" however, and get recruited to fight the hordes of hell (who come out every night when the river Styx dries up) by a strange Sikh named Mohan (that feller there with the sun for an eye). Things, however, may not be as they seem, nor how they're presented by Mohan, time will tell...
Content warning: Mature Audiences only. "Sexual violence" has been (almost, it was prevented) depicted already.
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/18/2024
New list is up! Let's see what we got this week..
Graveyard Club #1 - R. L. Stein, let's go!
Batman Day 2024 - Batman Elmer Fudd Special Noir #1 - What in the fuck is this? I'll have to get it, it's too insane not to.
Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #0 - Heard this Long Halloween series rules, I need to read it, hopefully it gets a reprint about nowish..
Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #1 - Well we're part way to a reprint, but I need all of em!
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees TP - Alright I'm probably not picking this up because I have both the A and B covers of all the singles (not my usual MO), but I'm adding it as an honorable mention because if you don't have it yet you should 100% check this out at least. It's basically cute Richard Scarry style art with anthropomorphic animals, but the lead character is a serial killer. Huge problems arise in her world, can she stop it or not? I won't say, you'll have to read it to find out. I hope this gets picked up for more issues more than anything else out right now.
Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #4 - This series rules so far! Glad it's an ongoing now.
Ice Cream Man #41 - The series responsible for getting me into comics in the first place. It's like a sad song you can't stop listening to, or a bruise that you can't stop poking, it's depressing but so good. I like how they play with the format, like the issue that was a crossword puzzle, and the one that was all palindromes and could be read both front to back and back to front. This one looks to be a James Bond parody.
Moon Is Following Us #1 - I know nothing about this but it looks interesting.
Tin Can Society #1 - Might pick this up, the cover is intriguing.
Epitaphs From The Abyss #3 - Well issue 2 was better, but it's still no Creepshow. I'll continue it for one more at least. Looks like there's two new EC titles coming out soon too, a new SuspenStories and a new Weird Fantasy, both called something else but similar, of course.
Looks like that's it for me, what're you pulling this week?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/11/2024
Into The Unbeing Part One #4 - End of the road for this one. It's been interesting so far, some spelunkers going into a "cave" that may actually be a "head of some giant creature." I'm actually one behind but I'm going to read it here in a minute, just picked it up.
Groo Minstrel Melodies #1 - Idk much about Groo but I did read Mad back in the day, so I'm grabbing this.
Time Waits #1 - Idk much but DSTLRY stuff is usually worth a look.
Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #4 - This one has been alright so far.
Space Ghost #5 - Zorak is here! I love Zorak lmao, I can't stop thinking about The Brak Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast while reading this and tbh it's a big reason if why I'm reading it haha.
Ain't No Grave #5 - End of the road. This series has been great, I like these weird westerns.
Geiger #6 - Hooray for Barney!
Precious Metal #4 - This series is weird as shit and I like the art.
That's it for me this week, what about you?
Subscription issues?
Anyone else having an issue where they have to resubscribe to a community every time the app closes? For some reason in eternity it keeps unsubbing me from !c/[email protected] every time the app restarts itself, and I have to go resubscribe. None of this actually affects my account, I guess, because when I sign in with other apps I'm still subbed to it, eternity just removes it from my subs on boot and won't show the content in my subscriptions feed. Is there any way to fix this?
New list is up! Sorry I'm a day later than usual, I was "really sick" yesterday (totally not hungover if my boss is reading this!)
Let's see, decent list for me this week:
Animal Pound #5 - Last in this series, it's been great! A modern retelling of Animal Farm by George Orwell
Minor Arcana #1 - Jeff Lemire back at it after the conclusion of Fishflies. Flishflies rules, this sounds like it'll follow the trend. A woman who's mom is a psychic (but she never believed that much) has to move back home and take over the family business (or something like that). Turns out there may be something to it after all...
Dawnrunner #5 - End of the road for this too but I hope it gets picked up, eldritch kaiju vs mechs with consciousness and pilots.
Helen Of Wyndhorn #4 - This series has been great too. Helen's father, a writer, dies and she has to move back into her grandfather's palatial estate. Turns out the fae world her dad wrote "fiction" about is anything but, and she has been traveling through it with her grandfather doing stuff.
Plastic Man No More #1 - Idk much about Plastic Man but I've heard it's funny, I'll give it a shot.
Blood Brothers Mother #2 - Good western! I'm definitely going to finish this one out.
Cruel Universe #2 - The first one was great, hope that continues!
Well looks like that about wraps it up for me. Pretty excited about all of these! What're you pulling?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 08/28/2024
New list is up! Good one for me this week!
Batman Off-World #5 - This is still running? Bout damn forgot about this one!
Convert #1 - "Science Officer Orrin Kutela finds himself stranded on a distant planet, starving and haunted by the ghosts of his dead crew. On the verge of death, he makes an astonishing discovery. Veteran writer John Arcudi (Rumble, B.P.R.D.) and illustrator Savanna Finley bring you a sci-fi/fantasy comic like no other." Sounds interesting enough!
Drawing Blood #5 - Drawing Blood! Raining Blood plays. Kevin Eastman rules.
Sacrificers #11 - Sacrificers! Pigeon has been fucking shit up, Soluna is having a rough time, can't wait to see what this issue brings!
Universal Monsters Frankenstein #1 - The Creature reboot was good, I'll try this one too.
What're you pulling?
ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 08/21/2024
Fresh list is up! Looks like a short one for me this week but that's ok!
My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #4 - This one is stupid and weird and I've been digging it, Thomas Jefferson vs some guy lmao.
Epitaphs From The Abyss #2 - This one I was so excited for the first issue but instead of having good stories it felt like it was just preaching to me sponsored by the DNC. It doesn't matter if I agree with many of the "lessons" they were trying to "teach me" either, it felt very condescending in a "hello fellow kids" way like some kind of food pyramid comic from the 90s. And the icing on the cake is the goddamn "weird fantasy" reboot Cruel Universe had "scarier" stories than this "horror" reboot! I'm going to give it another issue or two but this might get dropped pretty fast.
Standstill #1 - Not gonna lie I'm only slightly interested in this but since there's not much else for me this week I may check it out. Guy steals a time stopping device and commits crimes, the inventor has to stop him. Could be good though, we'll see!
That's it for me, what's on your lists this week?
Help burning CDs?
I'm having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I'm running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.
The issue I'm having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren't recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it'll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don't know where to "save" the "image" of this album I'm creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.
Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that's as far as I've gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says "something something overwrite" when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite "sr0" itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?
I'm positive it's just something simple I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don't actually have WIFI rn, so I'll have to have the package for said command already.)
Thanks in advance.
