I guess I’m a dummy, because I never even thought about this. Maybe I got lucky, but when I did restore from a backup, I didn’t have any issues. My containerized services came right back up like nothing was wrong. Though that may have been right before I successfully hosted my own (now defunct) Lemmy instance. I can’t remember, but I think I only had sqlite databases in my services at the time.

Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.

The song “More Bad Times” came on my Spotify radio playlist a few years back. I had never heard the song before. I was dying of laughter. I was not at all prepared for a song that silly.

I think we should rename this community “gaming controversies” because that’s all that’s ever discussed here.

I respect other people’s choices in what to consume, and I expect the same respect in return. I have no problem with people being vegan or vegetarian. In fact, most people I work with are from India and are vegetarian. We eat lunch together most days and no one has any problems with each other.

Unfortunately most vegans I know are extremely pushy and judgemental about their diet/lifestyle. They do not respect my choice in what to consume. This used to causes some preemptive judgements on my part, where I would get defensive immediately about my dietary choices, because I assumed they were judging me. Over time I have learned to control this reflex.

I can only assume that many people have had the same experience as me, and jump to the same conclusions.

I am a younger millennial, and I’ve literally never heard of a boomerang in this context in my life.

I will now urge Microsoft to suck my balls.

The song 1985 was not originally recorded by Bowling for Soup, but SR-71

Well, I guess if you don’t mind me (and every other team member) asking you 100 questions a day, that’s fine by me!

I mostly work with people who learned to speak English in India, and most of them say line-ux or lean-ux. I always assumed it was an accent thing. Though there are a million distinct accents in India, and I’m not really well educated on them, so I’m sort of guessing.

I have started pirating heavily again after years of not doing it. I set up a VPN container and a qbittorrent container that shares the VPN container’s network, so VPN is always running for qbittorrent, but it isn’t affecting the rest of my server. Then I log into a webpage on my local network and download whatever I want. The volume mount I chose for the download directory is my Plex directory, so it automatically gets put on Plex.

It’s honestly easier to pirate than to search for which streaming service something is on. When I pirate, everything is in the same place.

I checked a few instances and they were all last updated on November 18th. I ran that query and updated the updated field to now for all rows, but they aren’t continuing to update after that, and no traffic is coming through.

Yes! This worked! Thank you!

That’s fine with me, as I’m the only user in my instance.

Though I do still think this is a huge miss on pictrs to not allow the admin to browse the photos stored on their own server. I mean, someone could upload an illegal photo, not post it, then send the URL that only they could possibly know to whichever relevant government agency anonymously and potentially ruin the life of the admin.

Thank you so much for contributing and making this much needed fix.

I actually thought of that. And it’s even hosted on sh.itjust.works via pictrs.

Awesome! Thank you for this link!

I agree! Or let us disable caching images from other instances. I’m not interested at all in rehosting images that other users on other instances upload. That’s too much of a legal liability to me.

You got me!

My current setup is using the former, but I did the latter for so many years and the only issue I had was the clock would get fucked up after booting Windows. But I agree, it’s much safer to have your Windows SSD physically removed when installing Linux so grub doesn’t get installed on the same SSD as Windows. I wouldn’t do it with all the horror stories I have read. My good experience was probably dumb luck.

I always dual boot and have never had an issue in many years. I wonder what I am doing differently.

I did it recently. I just plugged a live USB into one USB slot and an empty USB stick into another slot. I unplugged my NVMe while I did it so it wouldn’t install grub on my Windows SSD.
