Can I post recycled wine?

I avoid Youtube as much as possible, so that makes it harder

That being said, I use Dreaming Spanish for my native hispanohablante content. Plenty of content, and more every day. The biggest issue is whilst I love some of the content, quite often, I find myself struggling to stay engaged. And that's the part I need to focus on. They have plenty of content, and I can find it if I go looking. I just need to make sure I do :)

My goal is just consistency. My spanish is coming along slowly, but it hasn't always been steady. Sometimes, I just stop. This year, I just want to keep it consistent. At least some content, most days, even if only a short video.

I've been using my real name on the internet for 30 years or so now. I've hosted public radio shows, I run/admin several online LGBTQ communities and I've had newspapers articles done about my transition and activism.

It's absolutely possible that someone with the desire could utilise that against me. But it's unlikely and it hasn't happened yet. And in the mean time, having to hold myself back and be constantly on edge about what I say and where I say it would impact my use of the internet in a way I don't like, every single time I use it.

So for me, it's worth the risk.

Iceland?

Though prices are high in Iceland. Their wages are also high, which offsets that, but if you're coming in with foreign currency/income, you'll feel the prices more...

It doesn't really match my experience though. I'm one of those rare ADHD folk who has zero issues with sleep.

If you were born or adopted before December 15, 2025

Citizenship may have been restored or given to people who were born outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

  • before December 15, 2025
  • outside Canada to a Canadian parent

This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

If this change made you a Canadian automatically, but you don’t want to be one, you can apply to give up (renounce) your Canadian citizenship.

Adopted people are likely eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship through a direct grant for adopted people if they were born and adopted outside Canada in the second generation or later before December 15, 2025.

Some instances are themed, some are generalist. Because multiple communities can exist around the same topic/theme, the user based ultimately ends up in a community hosted on an instance that fits their needs, because if it didn't, they would simply move elsewhere.

Which ultimately means that if you get instance banned from an instance that hosts a community you want to use, there's a good chance you weren't going to last long in that community anyway...

It will compile and install the module for you. All it means is that whenever your kernel is updated, the install process will take around 5 minutes longer than it otherwise would whilst it compiles the dkms module for you.

If you use the lts kernel package, your kernel updates will be infrequent.

If you use the regular arch linux kernel package, it will update every few weeks like it does now, and each time, your package installation process will run a few minutes longer due to the need to compile the driver

For those quick off the mark, you may already have seen her name appear in the list of lemmy admins! We've brought Jorunn on board, as she's already staff on our piefed instance, and she has been helping moderate lemmy via our admin bot, which can approve signups, delete spam etc. So, she now has her own keys to the castle to make her life easier!

You can reach out to her for issues around community/instance moderation, regarding our lbz users etc. Kaity and I are still the best contacts for sys-admin related issues however.

Anyway, welcome aboard Jorunn and thank you for taking this on. I certainly appreciate it :)

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

If you're interested, and use Blåhaj Lemmy as your main instance, let me know and I'll add you as a moderator. You'll then be free to add other off instance mods if you like, but the primary mod needs to be a Blåhaj Lemmy user,

This Kookaburra, was staring at the chips of a guy who had laid down on the grass and closed his eyes. A moment later, the heist succeeded!

Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.

PieFed is part of the "Threadiverse" along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.

If you're curious to try it out, or if you're just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/

Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you're already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.

Thanks to Kaity Blåhaj PIx and Blåhaj Tube are up and running!

Feel free to check them out!

For now, it's just me moderating, so applications to join may not be instant. If we start to get busy, we'll onboard some more mods in the future.

Enjoy!
