I thought cars in the last decade couldn’t have hood ornaments anymore ?

Meh, I no longer participate but it still had a huge wealth of knowledge. Only time I end up on it is from a search engine.

Really enjoyed last years. Can’t wait to see how this one goes!

For anyone unfamiliar with TGP, it is like NFL Redzone but for WoW.

IIRC this all came about because a different company has the rights to Godzilla in the US and that US distributor didn’t want -1.0 to cut into the sales of the new Godzilla Kong movie, which is all bullshit.

That sounds like something a bot would say…🧐

Tbf, the US just had two people contract avian flu from cows. This kind of thing can happen anywhere.

Wasn’t that the joke? Iirc Hammond cut a fuck ton of corners.

He told The Independent: “We thought that was a disastrous act of economic self-harm.”

Sums up Brexit pretty well.

Critical notifications in Home Assistant (companion.home-assistant.io)

I just got a large batch of water leak sensors and was setting an automation to send a notification to my phone and I was worried that I would miss the notification. I found this page in the documentation for doing critical alerts. On iOS the notification stays persistent, even after unlocking the device. What’s really nice is that if you have an Apple Watch, the notification will also show up there and play a sound if the watch is on silent mode.

Even though I hope I never get one of these notifications, I’m really glad that this functionality exists within Home Assistant.

Just thought that was really neat.

Any way to swap the actions for tapping vs holding? To me it makes more sense for a tap to expand it and a long press to open the app. Searches popped up results from last year that it is not an option but did they add it to iOS 17?

So I’m finally upgrading to multi gig (either 2gb or 5gb google fiber) and will need a new router. On att 1gb atm. I’ve narrowed it down to either the QNAP QHora-301W or the [TP-Link AXE16000 (https://a.co/d/2q0T4Ow). Curious if anyone else with google fiber is using either of these?

Also, I’ve read conflicting posts about being able to use your own router to directly connect to the fiber(such as using an SFP module on the to link router). Admittedly I know very little about SFP and am trying to figure it all out prior to ordering in the next few weeks.

Could this be a case of gen z having a larger online presence than boomers? Kind of like how people from Florida are more likely to be attacked by sharks than someone from Kansas?

Edit: I somehow missed this on the first pass.

There are a few theories that seem to come up again and again. First, Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology

The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets. Event organizers have said more rain was expected through Sunday before the festivals ends on Monday.

Uh…

Riddles community (catata.fish)

I initially made this to test out creating a bot for lemmy but after some digging I noticed there isn't a 'general' community for riddles so feel free to post some good(and bad) riddles. Maybe Catatafish can use them for the next traveler seeking passage through the esophagus.

[-] billygoat@catata.fish 38 points 1 year ago

The flip side of the argument is that if you also host the media you are not at risk of having broken links. I’ve seen a number of long running forums that had post bodies that contained external images that are now broken.

Of course an argument can be made that the only reason that those forums have lived for so long was due to not having costs associated with hosting media.

Answer these riddles and the esophagus will let you pass.

Just a community to post riddles.

Created this to test out making a lemmy bot and thought it would be nice to share them. Fair warning, some can be straight trash.

So I'm having an issue where the two finger swipe to go back to the main inbox doesn't work when viewing an email. I can swipe forward from the inbox to go forward to the page that an email is on. This only occurs on Firefox. I tried both Chrome and Safari and both allow the gesture.

Any clues as to what can be causing that?

So i've set up a custom domain to use with protonmail and was curious if anyone else uses the catch all in this manner.

I was thinking that when a new account is created on $website I would use a custom email address that would then be caught by the 'catch-all'. So say the domain is catata.fish, and the website is target.com, then when signing up I would use target@catata.fish. Previously when using gmail I would use email+target@gmail.com.

Does anyone see any issues doing it this way? Thanks!
