  • You followed through! I lover how O'Brien seems overall unphased from the demonic torture. Just another day.

  • [JoeHills] Immersive 4k spherical recording of Cleo vs. Doc Trial
  • I totally forgot this was a thing that could be done on YouTube! This video might be a touch long for the format though. However, leave it to Joe to turn something so silly into something more like a unique art project.

  • A three hour tour
  • Gilligan's Island and Voyager share the same overarching goal, though: Getting home.

  • Happy Fourth of July!
  • Little Pink Houses. The point in this song is often missed as well.

  • Enterprise The Next Series
  • Worf manages to look more like an awkward tenneager here than Wesley somehow.

    Edit: clarity

  • Running a business using linux
  • I am not in the UK, but wound up biting the bullet and using QubesOS for my business machine. It's kind of like a more straightforward to use everyday set of VMs. I have the windows qube there for running CAD/CAM and the sadly sometimes necessary Chrome install. I know this isn't an ideal solution, but it is the best that I personally have been able to come up with without going through the headache of dual booting, especially when dealing with either govt stuff, need Chrome for crappy websites my clients sometimes force me to use, or actually needing proprietary software that I have licensed for my business (MasterCam in my case).

  • Mini me melee
  • I blew it up!
  • Has the Jedi Council of Elrond shown up here yet?

  • Now i gotta try it
  • Is noone going to say anything about what's going on in the terminal?

  • This seems like a troll effort that went too far and became real
  • They were banned in a lot of schools because it was considered gambling.

  • Crispr
  • Measurements
  • Sadly, at that point, you need to know the decimal equivalent (this happpens often with precision measurement) for instance 1/4 is 0.25 etc. I agree that it is horrible for a tape measure style measurement, but it isn't so bad once you're used to seeing the fractional equivalent as a decimal.

  • Measurements
  • That was also part of my point. I am tired of people trying to impose one unit or series of units being superior when they are all just made up.

  • Measurements
  • I may get a lot of flack for this, but here is my perspective as someone with over 20 years experience as a machinist in the US. Over the course of my career, I have become more than comfortable using metric, imperial, and us custimary units.

    For science? Metric is fantastic. For literally everything else - us customary is faster, easier, more understandable, and actually more approachable in terms of trying to actually build something.

    Let's start with simply building something as the first example. Fractions, (and angles relative to fractions) are more intuitive to work with, faster, and overall easier to work with than decimal equivalents. One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".

    Furthermore, units are just that. An arbitrarily agreed upon measurement. None of them make any "more sense" than any other. If the Royal Society had agreed on a hogs head as a standard unit of volume, we'd likely still be using it.

    I may be rambling at thus point. However, my entire point here is that there is objectively no such thing as a superior unit of measure. They are all made up and have uses that they are best suited for.

  • It's an effective jump scare technique
  • I interpret it as Kirk running away smiling from a pissed off Spock. Hilarious in it's own right.

  • The Sales Will Continue
  • I tend to agree for most things, but modern Blizzard titles are near unplayable without SSD because of they way that they load assets. You'd be technically in the game, but half of the models take 5 minutes to load in.

    The are other games that load in things like this, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

  • It's the Trek Balls (Watch out!) [OC Edit]

    When two of my favorite things get memed together, I tend to put in some effort. Now with audio!

    Thanks to @[email protected] for the initial idea/ croossover.

    Hitting Creative Burnout

    Ever since I made this post, I have tried my best to follow through and "be the change you want to see." I've made a lot of mediocre stuff, some bad, and a few I am proud of in those 6 months. I have spent most of my free time trying to make new OC specific to Lemmy.

    However, I think that with the attempts to try to encourage others in this kind of creative endeavor, I have run out of steam. I will often sit down with a plan for a project, half finish it and then just delete it.

    I am a musician and have never experienced creative burnout there, despite having done that for most of my life so this is a new feeling to me. I picked up a new creative hobby and I feel burned out in less than a year.

    If anyone can offer some advice here, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Rules change. No longer OC only.

    When I made this community, I wanted it to be a place where gif makers and editors could show off their work. After a lot of thought, there is no reason that this community can't be that as well as a place to share HQ stuff. So, as long as the gif meets the requirements and the rules, go ham and credit when you can.

    Odd Wifi Issues specific to EverQuest (maybe udp)

    I know this is more of a general discussion community and not for tech support, but I'm at the end of my technical ability here and that is the primary game I play.

    I've been running the live version of EverQuest for months now. Yesterday, I encountered a really strange issue where if I connect to the game, DNS would completely fail. I've tried this over 2 distros: Garuda (Arch based) and Linux Mint. I've done a few 50+ gb Steam downloads as tests with no issues. However, as soon as I run the game for more than 10 minutes, DNS just completel drops until a full reboot (on both distros) which is really odd. It's only affecting the PC, which is what lead me to attempting to load up another distro and test things.

    I've changed DNS servers around on all but the router (which I unfortunately don't have ready access to). I know the software firewall rules are good. Is there a way to reliably see if for some reason the router is kicking me off if I use UDP packets (I know that EverQuest uses some)?

    During the DNS outage, I an use the same network on mobile without any kind of issue, which is what made me curious if this is a UDP issue since web browsing shouldn't be spraying those out.

    I'd be more than willing to provide any pastes of files etc. Also, if anyone has a way to kind of stress test my wifi hardware to see if that is the issue, it'd be really helpful.

    Editing to add: I've turned wifi power saving off and will continue to test. Odd that it would be turned on over 2 installs randomly, though (if it was ever off)

    Adding again. This may be happening when I swap to the dedicated GPU on the laptop. The odd thing is that it started yesterday. This is why I turned off wifi power saving, and it doesn't seem to have an effect.

    This is focused on mtf voice training, and is a great start in my opinion. FTM resources are much harder to find, because the assumption is that testosterone will thicken your vocal chords. I'll keep trying to find resources for our FTM bros <3

    Trans Voice Help community is here!

    Hi! My biggest struggle being trans has always been that my voice has taken a decade of training to get anywhere near I'd like it to be. I knew there were likely others out there like me, so I made this community for us to share tips/tricks/progress etc. I've made myself mod on this account (though it seems to be slow through federation) and would love it if others are willing to help out for this cause.

    My hope is that through this community people can learn to use their voice in the way that makes them feel most comfortable, because that can be extremely difficult (trust me, I know). It can take years, with a lot of dedication to overcome voice dysphoria. Hopefully, we can cut that time down.
