As far as I understand normal cooking will create additional seasoning layers, and a cast iron skillet will get better with time. But if I only rise the temperature high enough to cook food (and not high enough where I see smoke), how does polymerization actually happen?

I thought that if there was no smoke, then polymerization was not happening, but is that the case?

On one hand it is a very comfortable, beautiful keyboard, and wireless has worked flawlessly. On the other hand, 2 blue leds have failed, so currently dealing with warranty.

Is there really a black edition? Isn't that one the g915 tkl?

If people get enough from a free demo maybe it's time to make shorter cheaper games, and start churning out 2 hour playtrough 15usd games, but with high quality graphics/acting/voices/etc. Or just abolish capitalism and make fun games no matter if they sell or not 😂

If demos hurt sales, that means that game devs depend on gamers buying games they don't actually end up liking right? I understand making games has become pricier and pricier, but if the whole business model is dependent on "We want to trick people into getting stuff they don't want", then we have a problem.

Different instances have different ideologies. You can get a user on "everything-conservative" which blocks half if the federation, or you can get into a free for all instance which allows all. Big generic instances like lemmy.world do have a big problem on their hands, they have to make the bubble the common denominator of all users, which is hard to know.

I think the beauty of federation is that each instance can have it's own moral code, I figure we will see everything-not-illegal-lemmy.com at some point, without any conmunity except meta ones, with admins that just do not de-federate from anything else.

You can be part of any instance that aligns with your values. And each community can decide which instance to live in. If some community wants to live in an instance which allows everything so anyone can comment, then maybe they move or start their own.

And I don't think only horrible people would want this. I figure some community like suicide watch might want to allow everyone to comment no matter where they are from. Making de-federation the only option would suck, but it's not. There can be different bubbles, and bubbles which contain them.

Search by community is not working. If you go to search page, and select a community and click search, it will search in all communities anyway.

Could we also use AI in our benefit? We could try coding an AI mod helper, that tries to detect and flag which posts are irrelevant/agressive/etc. It can take the data of all modlog instances, and start learning what probably needs to be banned, and then you can have a human confirming the data every time. We could even have a system like steam's anticheat where a few users have to validate reports as a user.

Spirited away, just because I saw it as a child and it got me hooked on Miyasaki for life. It remains one of the most fun ones for me. It has the right balance between reality and fantasy, between fun and action/danger.

It also has that feeling of looking at a strange world as an outsider that I love, which is the reason I liked the first harry potter film/book for example. The wonder of a new, strange world with new rules that we do not comprehend.

 

Not sure if I'm reading too much, but a little detail I noticed: The inverted cross in the background. I think it represents the idea that "God is dead", and the Nihilism idea of Nothing Matters, Life Is Meaningless and Remember To Have Fun!, what do you think?

Even if they do, they would not be able to force instance owners to update to the closed version. And people would take over the last available open source version and fork it. Also, a closed and open source version could co-exist, since the api is open.

Yeah things have improved a lot! And emulators like yuzu being open source really helps.

Yeah! If there's too much attention from US companies the instances related to piracy can just move. I'm wondering what's the law for US residents who host their website in another country, do they still have to respect US laws?

I'm about to try this method to clean and re-season my cast iron wok, I will report back once it's done if you're interested.

 

I'm from Argentina and I can not buy stuff like "crisco", I need specific oils that I can buy in any brand, like sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, etc.

This is how it looks currently:

 

As far as I understand if any fediverse instance decided to start having magnet links and stuff like that, eventually it would be taken down by DCMA notices and the like. But what could be done so a community like that could thrive?

Some questions:

  1. Would other instances that federate with it get in trouble? They can always feign ignorance.
  2. Could an intance which holds magnet links and trackers be backed up every day, so that as soon as one instance is taken down another one takes it's place immediately?
  3. Could an instance be owned annonymously? Can you register a domain and keep a server running somewhere without repercussions?
  4. Could a lemmy instance live in an onion domain, and still interact with the rest of the fediverse? Would that improve anything regarding the instance being taken down?
  5. What about running instances in countries that do not enforce piracy laws? Could someone in some random country that does not care maintain an instance, which all of the fediverse can access/comment/contribute?
 

I'm currently using a https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/, which has this cpu: Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex-A15 2Ghz and Cortex-A7 Octa core CPUs.

It is obviously not enough for real time transcoding, which is ok because I do not want it. But getting subtitles out of files and other remuxing tasks are slow as well, I'd like some more power without building a full custom hptc.

Is an intel NUC worth it? Or is there any other significantly faster raspby-clone?

 

I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I'm very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:
