No no no. We're one people, not a reddit vs lemmy side. That would mean the death of the platform in the long term. People coming from centralised platforms is the whole idea of building the fediverse. Isn't that right?

It did, and out of schedule too I think. Maybe the bot restarted and it posts the current comic on startup?

Bag of holding plus hover means I can just set up a big home in the trunk and it'll never have quakes or collapse. Worth the maintenance cost by not having to buy or build a house.

Stage lighting controls are extremely fun to learn. DMX, ArtNet, etc. QLC+ is free and open source, there are TON of other ones as well (like controlling big stage lights with a Wii controller so they move like you).

There are simulators, but the prettiest I've seen so far is https://github.com/AcChosen/VR-Stage-Lighting. Despite its name, you don't need vr for it but if you do, you can watch your lightshow as if it was real!

We're trying to get AWAY from our phones, not more ways to have them draw us in. Although if it's addressable, setting up something custom on there would be cool. Probably not these days but we can dream

Since docker is in a VM on Windows, I'd take a full disk image of it before starting to migrate anything so you don't lose anything if you make a mistake. It also means that you can extract all your data from the disk image and migrate to the same distro but running on bare metal if you want.

First time I've seen Plasma recreated in a comic instead of nondescript or windows. Very nice.

Ohh so like buying new is superior? Nah. I mean for some things like hard drives (for PCs) or smartphones there's good reasons to do that (could have malware on it), but cars or appliances I'd think that someone who thinks buying new is superior is dumb. If the thing is well maintained, you're getting something from a device class leagues above what you'd get new. Plus modern machines are full of cloud crap that makes it break after a few years when the manufacturer pulls the plug on the servers. Used is king!
