I have a question. At page 150 of the European user manual for the Jeep Renegade, it says to change the oil every 30k kilometers (19k miles). (And this applies to most petrol engines sold in the last 5 decades.)
Why in USA it’s common to replace the engine oil 4-6 times as often?
IMHO not worth to self host Lemmy, as it will be an inferior experience compared to an active server, where you can discover many new communities and posts
Unless the fun of setting it up
As a customer I hate those “smart” address form as they don’t accept my real house number but I need to put the generic one and hope the delivery guy is smart enough to read notes
I work in a e-commerce and the amount of people that forgets the street number is insane.
We send email to ask clarification: no response (probably filtered by the artificial stupidity classification in Gmail, everyone only reads the main category)
We call them to ask clarification: nobody picks up because they assume it’s telemarketing
I blame the Google chrome auto fill, because it fills the whole form automatically instead of line by line like on Firefox, so people assume that it’s filled correctly while instead the browser decided to omit the street number
Can’t wait to see a 40 minutes rant on LTT where he will feel betrayed and teach everyone how to use jellyfin
i like zipline but i use it for smaller files where download resumability is not a key factor
Same for Windows hello. “Sorry something went wrong”
What went wrong, so I can fix it??? It needs a reboot? Restart the camera on device manager?? My face is not clear??? I need to update drivers?? Just logout???
Client side software must always give clear indications about what’s the error. Write in tiny 6 points grey text on a white background but give hints about the solution, don’t play a game , thanks
Exactly, it’s especially infuriating on newpipe. WHAT went wrong? It’s an error 500 from YouTube (rare, unfixable, try again) or Google changed something and need to wait for a client fix? Or simply Google blacklisted the IP address or put some captcha that prevents playing the video??
After all the president, while pretending to care about fentanyl pardoned THE guy that did the most work in facilitating online sales of fentanyl
News? Which news?
What about Lux - it’s now discontinued but on my xiaomi mi 5 with a faulty brightness sensor that always reports full sunshine (and android 7) is doing miracles with the rooted plugin
When rooted a Xposed module might intercept and stop changing brightness level
The dokuwiki cookie is not for user tracking but for functional use. You don’t need user consent for functional use. OP should remove the useless cookie banner altogether
Protect from accidental data damage: for example the dev might have accidentally pushed an untested change where there’s a space in the path
rm -rf / ~/.thatappconfig/locatedinhome/nothin.config
a single typo that will wipe the whole drive instead of just the app config (yes, it happened, I remember clearly more a decade ago there was a commit on GitHub with lots of snarky comments on a script with such a typo)
Also: malicious developers that will befriend the honest dev in order to sneak an exploit.
Those scripts need to be universal, so there are hundreds of lines checking the Linux distro and what tools are installed, and ask the user to install them with a package manager. They require hours and hours of testing with multiple distros and they aren’t easy to understand too… isn’t it better to use that time to simply write a clear documentation how to install it?
Like: “this app requires to have x, y and z preinstalled. [Instructions to install said tools on various distros], then copy it in said subdirectory and create config in ~/.ofcourseinhome/”
It’s also easier for the user to uninstall it, as they can follow the steps in reverse
maybe it was openwebui and the phone corrected it to openwebzine
At one point in history did it allow to download from Spotify or it’s just an intentionally misleading name?
you need to use fat32 if you want normal people to access the files
Otherwise, they will get the “You need to format the disk in drive D: before using it. Do you want to format it?” dialog, they blindly click “yes”, then they will mumble to themselves “weird, he left behind a massive collection of blank drives…”
Tape isn’t readable by normal people even if they found it tomorrow with a drive already configured to be used.
In 50 years good luck finding a working drive compatible with LTO4 when LTO32 is out (it’s backwards compatible only with previous gen).
Unless you write on the box “here there are the keys for 100k bitcoins” they’ll just trash the tape
This fix is massive, lost a lot of useful info when I moved my yml files
