Norwegian here, can confirm: It’s regular tap water. It’s bottled quite some distance away from Voss, though.

I don’t have experience with hosting lemmy specifically, but from what I hear it doesn’t require much other than being a bit RAM-hungry. Add some swap space, use the instance primarily for yourself, and you should be good.

Hosting does not attract CSAM on its own. Anonymous uploads do. Only host services that you find useful yourself, and maybe sharing it with friends, and that’s a reasonably safe start.

Varies a lot based on country of origin and destination.

Here in norwegialand we have VAT between 15 and 25% depending on the type of goods when buying domestically as a private person. When buying something from abroad instead, such as online shopping, this is replaced by a customs fee/tariff of about the same amount. There are exceptions and caveats, but that’s the gist of it.

If it’s a thing that straight cis people are a dying breed, I haven’t noticed it. Nor have I noticed a phobia associated with it. I am one myself, and acknowledging that people who are different from me should have the same rights does not make me feel threatened in any way.

It’s worth noting that I edited in the “semi” prefix after they replied, because while that’s what I meant, the unedited post made it seem like I wanted to toss ostriches around.

Yeah, I forgot to specify that I was thinking of birds that can maneuver into a soft landing. I think penguins are dealing with enough already anyway.

My immediate thought too. We have homeless people here in Norway too. Homeless does not mean without housing or shelter.

Does sshd count?

Beyond the “default” stuff, I always seem to end up with a setup that involves linux + apache + mod_perl + postgresql for various purposes. And by the way, that’s the only proper LAMP stack in my book, and I will die on this hill.

Chav in the UK, Gopnik in Russia

I also love the scene where Carv tries to be the “good cop” by offering anything the suspect wanted, but it turns out they didn’t really have much to offer except from a lone Hershey bar or something.

Sphincters are important for other things too. It’s basically any muscle that forms a ring. While anuses (anii?) are obvious use cases, you also have one between your stomach and intestines, and one in each eye. Probably other places too.

I would think a box intended for mailing a turd would be built to contain the smell.

Jaws is basically “An Enemy of the People” (by Henrik Ibsen) in a modern wrapping.

And Avatar is pretty much space-Pocahontas

Possibly because I also have a small fan running inside the box

They still stink if you let some air through by farting. Boxes are rarely airtight, whereas assholes usually are.

Source: I have a plastic box that I often put some acetone in. And sometimes I fart. The two are not related.

I’ve done some very dodgy things with VGA cables in an effort to route the cables through narrow bulkheads. For normal computer-to-monitor-lengths this is probably fine.

I haven’t noticed much signal degradation below 4m-ish.

At 12m, you better solder properly and wrap some extra shielding around your splice.

Source: I’ve ran plenty of VGA cables between bridge computers and a deck monitor on ships.

Probably a little, at least while their oil exports are actively being hindered.

When a country’s access to the international market is hindered, or manufacturing for international markets is itself hindered, currency backed by said products tend to suffer.

Slava Ukraini! Heroyam slava!

Normally it doesn’t matter. The only restrictions is in terms of who can buy domains of that country to begin with (some countries have restrictions on that), and what sort of content is allowed in such domains. Other than that, it’s OK.
