  • You have three options

    1. Try and find a new instance, create an account, post bullshit and get banned (Lemmy is federated, your instance matters mostly based on what other instances federate with it)
    2. Set up your own instance, start federating, post bullshit, get banned and possibly have your entire instance defederated. (Lemmy is federated, your instance matters mostly based on what other instances federate with it)
    3. Stop posting bullshit, and contribute to a better social interaction here.

    Personally I’d recommend 3, but you can absolutely try combining 3 with 1 or 2.




  • Tobacco: no absolutely not, I hate the smell and just don’t see the point.

    Alcohol: extremely rarely, I have a well stocked bar at home, and used to drink alcohol a few times a month, but in the last few years two things happened.

    1. I got a driving license and a car, I was 35 and got it late. I have a zero tolerance for alcohol and driving, no light beer, nothing, if I am going to drive I will simply not drink any alcohol. And since I got the driving license and car I want to be able to get in the car at any point in case of emergencies and not have to worry about having had alcohol.
    2. I realized that alcohol was just simply annoying to me, I get hot, have trouble sleeping and the next day I am really tired and slow to get going, even after just having drunk a small ammonit. I apparently am a lightweight, and that it perfectly fine, alcohol doesn’t mean much to me, so I don’t feel like I am missing anything. I like the bottles of alcohol I have so I will save them for a bar shelf that looks cool. I do participate in toasts or celebrations when I know I won’t drive, I even have four bottles of cheap champagne with customized ribbons for Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban to toast with when the world is spared their existance, but that is the extent of my alcohol consumption.



  • Ok, so your question is why systems like Zigbee or Z-Wave has a bridge directly connected to the network and won’t just rely on the normal network.

    That is because Zigbee and Z-Wave is a different technology than wifi.

    I have Philips Hue lights at home, they use the Zigbee sytem, Zigbee is a low power meshing network, any commands are sent from the bridge, and relayed by the devices on the network until it reaches the specific node requested, the response is sent back through the network.

    So why not just use wifi?

    Plenty of smart home stuff does use wifi, it is a matter of what the manufacturer decided to use.

    Personally I prefer Zigbee, I find it easier to work with and it doesn’t clutter my network with random smart lights.

    I am building a NAS machine and will probably migrate over to using home assistant on that rather than just relying on the standard bridge from Philips.



  • I don’t need to, there were several alternatives on Wikipedia:

    1. Yxmördaren Julia Blomqvist på fäktning i Schweiz
    2. Schweiz för lyxfjäder på qvist bakom ugn
    3. FAQ om Schweiz: Klöv du trång pjäxby? - this is an incomprehensible sentence, though it must be said, it does sound Swedish when spoken.
    4. Yxskaftbud, ge vår WC-zonmö IQ-hjälp - this is also incomprehensible, plus the first word seems to be misspelled, it should be “Yxskaftsbud”, the missing s makes it hard to pronounce
    5. Gud hjälpe Zorns mö qwickt få byx av - a sentence with old spellings and words, and rather naughty meaning, this sentence also misses the letter V, in the past when w and v could be used interchangeably it would be a proper pangram.
    6. Byxfjärmat föl gick på duvshowen - misses Q and Z, but has the combinations fj and fö, which is very useful to test fonts for Swedish compabillity.
    7. Tjock ges BMW på quiz, hänförd av lyx - one of the best pangrams here, it contains every letter and, even better, is perfectly logical.






  • I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.

    (I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)

    I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.

    Currently I have a:

    • Jonsbo N4 case
    • Asrock B550m Pro4
    • AMD Ryzen 4600G
    • 32GB RAM
    • Kingston boot SSD
    • Corsair SF750 PSU

    I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.
