A Punk Rock Christmas is always one I listen to. Seriously, who the fuck forgets the pepperoni?

Original version

Also, to answer the most important question:

Lemmy is full of friendly dictatorships, freedom of expression is allowed in most instances

An article on the subject

Yesterday I found an incredibly convincing fake of a ragepost (on Lemmy - couldn't find it again so sourced it from Facebook). Reverse analyzing the details revealed that the selfies were modified to increase duckface, a pile of cigarettes were added for the narrative, and an accompanying news report screenshot was expertly modified using two different articles and changing many details. I can't in good faith believe any social media meme after this:


All the selfie captions are fake.

Not at all toxic and loaded

In reference to the subject on Rossman's screenshot, that is an 8 year old scandal that was, AFAIK, never proven. What was proven, was an 11 year old report on emotional manipulation by then Facebook

I believe 'avatar' was generally changed to match Xbox and others using the term to describe full body digital expressions of the user, like the Xbox 360 avatars. I grew up knowing it as profile picture, but now I've changed my social messenger of choice to XMPP I'm seeing it referred to as an avatar again

My main gripe is Windows Defender. I have an app that integrates with Home Assistant and Windows keeps flagging a component as a Trojan virus. Makes sense, as it's supposed to access admin level functions to read some sensors and enable remote power control.

But for years I've seen MsMpEng.exe, or the antivirus, constantly scan my 4TB HDD, either looking for viruses or doing some stupid NTFS remapping thing. It's loud and only spun up when idle on Win10, but became more aggressive on Win11 with less time to start scanning and not stopping when I move the mouse.

The latest development with breaking my app just means I'm more vigilant in turning the entire antivirus off when it turns on and starts scanning.

the policies of our partners

Lol I couldn't care less about the policies of a handful of pathetic old women, disconnected from reality, who live 17,000km away from me. I'll not have some crackpot old fools dictate my life. Their sphere of influence should never have extended past their little congregation.

For the third time since I've lived here in a moderately sized city in the UK, I've seen a black male argue with white trash. I don't know why or how they keep managing to find these "people" and end up arguing with them, and I'd be remiss if I wasn't aware that the pale ones are likely to have found him and started it. The first was a friend of my neighbour and after their heated debate he just swore "Ni****s!" (I abhor censorship but in this particular case I'll let it slide, lest this entire rant be censored). Knowing how systemic oppression of the ethnic majority is ignored or censored, and I see nobody standing up for the victim, that sent me into a fury. Well, today was the third event with the same dark-skinned dude. He had just stopped following this heavily tanned piece of trash that was spewing weird shit. ""Not like us", no, we're nothing like you!" ... "That's why we're going to Mars and you ain't!" My maggot in Christ none of us are, not even the trillionaires. What are you jacked up on.

I know there is a growing issue with even members of the public who support cruelty, practice bigotry and oppose liberty, and the density of assholes in my area may be, and have been, higher than I know. I am at a disadvantage when it comes to seeing just how broken our community is, because I'm basic white. But I want to fight this. I refuse to lay back while the very people I share oxygen with are actively damaging others' lives. How fucking dare the cruel, the unjust and the greedy exist anywhere they please.

My country's leaders have just imprisoned another liberation activist under the guise of terrorism with zero evidence. Small, frequent signs that the land I occupy is becoming more hostile to humanity, to life. Intentionally causing harm to the existence of an innocent being goes against my moral code, and it sure as fuck is more important than laws manipulated by those in power.

Justice for Palestine. Free Mangione. Fuck fascists. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ lives matter.

Why did our government ignore the slaughter in Gaza, and continue to sell arms to Israel? The answer lies in two of Britain's influential pressure groups

Clean repost. Original post was removed, so no link. Story for reference.

They're calling it a Glacial Glass Squid. Turns out, though, that this guy is more closely related to our version of a Crabsquid.

~~My network has reset several times and I've narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn't help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?~~

Edit: Thanks everyone, it's apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. It was overheating so I took its coat off. My router's log was filled with "DoS(SyN-Flooding)" messages, and according to Wikipedia that's a DDoS attack.

I wrote a script to run with Node JS that near perfectly organises (renames and moves) torrented movies. It is designed to work in Linux, to transfer to Emby folder convention. I was working on making a TV show version, maybe merging the two, and porting it back to Windows where I first built the script, but I recently discovered the *arrs do it all. Still, if anyone wants a script that does its best (with guidance and thorough logging), I've stored it here.

Edit: For other reasons I built another script that can clean up an existing media directory, deleting files with any extension the user chooses (subs, images, thumbs and movies with multiple qualities leaving the best one). I've added it to the same repo. This script was more of a WIP, but it gets the job done and includes a help argument.
