I also used to pronounce Gnome this way.

I’ll add I used to say “deb eye ann”, for Debian

And used to say “uh lie us”, for alias

I didn’t have a lot of people to talk about Linux with lol

Unfortunately still have to use W11 for some anti-cheat games I play with friends :(

But being forced to update to 11 motivated me to come back to Linux on a PC. I already have a little homelab with all the flavors, but was wondering how it would game on my desktop.

Ultimately went with Debian + KDE on a second SSD, and it’s just awesome. Especially coming from WSL on my desktop, it’s just so seamless.

Had a little trouble getting Nvidia drivers for my relatively new card (Debian’s latest proprietary driver still didn’t support it lol), so I had to use the official Nvidia repo. And it was a little tricky signing it for Secure Boot, but other than that, awesome.

Need to run better side-by-side tests, but it at least feels like a 10% or so performance improvement.

Thank you Linux! And fuck Fortnite, release a Linux port already!

Just got my new NAS drives, so about to make the transition.

It’s actually new drives, and a new host. I’ve been running my old Synology NAS for years. But decided I ought to switch to a “real” NAS through Proxmox.

Just set up a simple samba container with Cockpit as a web manager, so far working really well. But I want to validate backups before I start moving all the irreplaceable data.

Something I’m excited about is using my old Synology NAS as an automatic, off-site backup once I transition. Heard about Duplicati from a friend, sounds like a great syncing solution.

Other than that I’ve been looking into using Apple HomeKit features with my Home Assistant devices. And also planning to move my hardware from the cheap Amazon floor shelf to a real 19” rack.

The circle reminded me of the “circle-A” symbol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchist_symbolism#Circle-A

But yea could have just been Ann or Anna at first!

With you on that. This is a bit of a “bad example.”

And someone looking in from the outside could totally make the conclusion that “they (lemmy) are totally taking this out of context! They’re a felon!”

Like you say, there’s a menagerie of actions done by this administration that are dangerous and telling of their goals.

I agree with your sentiment.

The cartoon is clearly in extremely bad taste and dehumanizing.

However, the context that she had been previously convicted for fentanyl trafficking is important.

It’s tough though, because if we put the cartoon aside, this is technically what they should be doing. I don’t disagree with deporting felon immigrants.

But then you consider all the history of this administration that got us here… it’s really hard to agree with them.

Similar, but I believe the strength addition is also because it changes the directions of the Z-axis layers.

Most filament is rather strong in tension. If you imagine printing a regular cube, without rotation, it’s going to be strongest stretching or compressing the sides of the cube.

But if you pulled the cube apart from its top and bottom, the only adhesive strength is the fused connection between layer heights. Which is super weak.

By printing at an angle, the layer heights may be in a direction that doesn’t receive tensile load, making it functionally stronger.
