Would using a VPN remedy this?

I was on Memmy but it seems to be abandoned so I switched to Avelon. It’s great!

I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yep! I never have caffeine without l-theanine.

Right, but I'm worried about federation. Wouldn't that mean that the CSAM would end up on my server as well?

I'm so glad I didn't end up spinning up my own instance like I was planning. I feel sorry for the mods and admins.

I'm super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, "we should just hire you now!" However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

What are your hobbies, and are they real fun to you? If yes, why are they really fun to you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I compete in powerlifting and ham radio when I have the time.

Yeah dogpile. I think it was kind of a meta search engine.

It works decently. I use it.

I got a buckwheat pillow and I'm never going back. It's perfect.

I'd say the dark Galadriel scene is the worst part of the movie trilogy.

What are some good dystopian novels? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

What is the +3 next to the comment count? (i.imgur.com)
 

I’ve seen this recently and have been wondering. My guess was that I’ve upvoted this user three other times but that’s probably way off.

Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing? (lemm.ee)
 

To be more specific, my parents raised my siblings and me to "respect" them, saying "yes sir, and "no ma'am" to everything they said. Spankings, all of that. Typical super conservative evangelical parents. Before I learned better, I was that way too. I went to college and since then have embraced the left more and more.

They'll say things now and then that are really distasteful politically. Today I made an Instagram post about DeSantis lying about liberal states allowing post-birth abortions and I got several family members railing against me. I'm tired of staying quiet when this happens. I think that, because how my parents raised me, I'm afraid to speak my mind to older family members. Fuck that though.

Has anyone else had this experience? I wonder if therapy would help. I just don't know how to explain it.

Should I enable telemetry? (lemm.ee)
 

I run Gentoo, which has a telemetry use flag. This will enable telemetry for a number of packages.

I hate telemetry on non-FOSS software like Windows, but is there real harm in doing it with FOSS software? I like to think I'd be helping the devs create better software.

In the lower right of the screenshot, what is that icon for? I must have missed one of the changelogs.

How in the world do you get a R720 to fit into rails? (lemm.ee)
 

I hate having to work on my R720 because getting it back into the rails is a major pain in the ass. It barely fits, so I have to wrestle with it for half an hour to get it to fit.

Is there a trick to this?

Any time I try to comment, I get a language not allowed error.

Anyone else get this?

Read posts aren’t hiding (i.imgur.com)
 

I have the option to hide read posts enabled, but they’re still showing up.

Am I expecting the wrong thing or is there something else I need to do?
