The problem with that is, Japan was willing to fight on after the first bomb. They tried labelling it a natural disaster at first; if the second bomb wasn't dropped, they probably wouldn't have surrendered. Sure they could have waited longer to confirm that, but then there's more troops dying on both sides while they wait - more unnecessary deaths.

Oh it's long dead now; this is what it looked like back then though

I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button

I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I'm tired of pretending that they're not

For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer's machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn't looked at in a while I'd still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.

I haven't used them in a while, but I used to go to Calgary Computer Wholesale

My city has a couple mom-and-pop type businesses doing it, I'd hazard a guess it's similar elsewhere - never heard of any 'big name' outfits doing it on any real scale.

As far as I can tell, you are logged into both; if you vote or reply or save a post, it will do so on the account of the instance you're browsing from. Now this can be confusing, because you can be looking at a post on lemmy.world through lemdo.id and upvote it on there, then if you browse through lemmy.world you can upvote the same post again with that account.

I personally try to avoid upvoting the same thing through multiple accounts (I have this one, but sometimes browse through beehaw) but it doesn't seem like there's any protections against doing so right now

I hadn't seen that video before, but it's not quite what I'm looking for; it seems that video was made while they were still working on the project, and they were looking for a way to "get it out into the world". Is there a sort of post-mortem analysis of what the project achieved / is still achieving now?

 

Like many, when I heard about Folding@HOME and how I could contribute to the fight against COVID, I put my hardware to work. Now that's it has been a while, what effect did those projects ultimately have on the outcome? Did it actually help with the creation of vaccines, or was it effectively just a massive waste of energy?

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with

 

Has everything gone according to plan? Maybe something has gone particularly good or bad? Have you given up on something already this year, and are saving it for the next?

 

Personally it would be Republic Commando - the books were good too, but I just want a sequel!

 
 

Hey all,

Just wondering what the consensus is on hosting directly on a computer versus virtualization? Right now I'm hosting my Lemmy instance on a Hetzner VPS, but I would like to eventually migrate to my Linux box at home. It currently runs as a media PC (Ubuntu) in the living room, but I always intended to self-host other software on the side since it should be more than capable of doing both (Ryzen 5600G, 16gb DDR4).

I'm just torn though - should I host a virtual machine on it for Lemmy, or run it directly on Ubuntu as-is? I plan to do some further self-hosting projects as well later down the line.
