I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn’t really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.
Or did I?
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks



I don’t really have one myself, but there was a lady I knew growing up who made, hands down, the best chili ever. She wouldn’t reveal her recipe or secret ingredient to anyone and swore she’d take it to her grave.
Years later, she and her daughter got into a fight and the daughter posted her mom’s chili recipe on Facebook to spite her. The secret ingredient was, apparently, grape jelly.


I used to, but I try to do better. Lately, I’ve had “blind voting” turned on in my app, so I can only see the score after I’ve voted one way or the other. Basically forces me to read and vote on the submission without being influenced by the current score.


Worked at a local pizza place my junior and senior years of high school.


Dept. of Highways be like:



Cool, thanks. I’ll give that a read and see if I can make it work cleanly. At this point, it’s just an experiment, but I’ve wanted to have some mechanism for a standardized machine-readable community rules for a long time, specifically to put into the report and moderation workflows. If I can make it work cleanly, and if it’s not something already planned for Lemmy 1.0, I’m absolutely willing to make that a Tesseract feature.

What’s the significance of this syntax with regard to it not rendering?
[//]: # (r1: Posts must be ...)
[//]: # (r3: Posts must not be ...)
[//]: # (r2: Posts must be ...)
I’ve long wanted a somewhat standardized way to define community rules so I could do exactly what you were describing in your issue, but I’m not clear on how/why that syntax doesn’t render.
I tried it in Tesseract, which admittedly use a different markdown renderer than other apps, and the first line shows but the second and third don’t.
If other apps can get on board with that, then I may need to understand what’s happening in that syntax to make sure it doesn’t render.


“Meanwhile on Grad” is kinda best described as “shit tankies say” and it’s always full of screenshots of ridiculous takes coming out of .ml, grad and their lot.
In case you’re like me and have never even heard the term “tankie” before this place, here’s a helpful Urban Dictionary link: http://tankie.urbanup.com/15148876


Lol, yeah
That’s the first C&H I’ve ever seen with a transparent background. Looks kinda cool, like an animation cel.



“Season 9 but good” is definitely how I would describe it.
Definitely feels like the early seasons of the original run but with the old cast promoted to chiefs/residents with the “young cast” filling their intern roles. And yeah, unlike season 9, you actually like the new characters.


Yeah, it’s pretty good.


LOL, if only.


Yep. Just finished the last episode of the revival and realized I haven’t seen the first run in forever.
The Fediverse is just full of Carols (on the right/brown coat):



In a sane world, this would be a “You’ve won a free boat! Claim your prize at the police station” trap, but such is not the world we’re living in.


What do you want to practice? Just general sysadmin stuff? Networking? Clustering? Horizontal scaling? All of the above?
Old PCs are just Debian servers waiting to happen. Depending on their specs, you may be able to do VMs or you can utilize container frameworks like Podman, Docker, or LXC to deploy individual applications or application stacks. Or you can just bare metal install anything you want.
Years ago, I bought a batch of 16 Wyse thin clients on eBay for about $15/each. These had 4GB SSDs and 2 GB RAM, so I upgraded about half of them with 64-120GB SSDs (whatever I had lying around) and 8 GB RAM. Thin clients can usually be found pretty inexpensively and are pretty power efficient, but they’re not performant workhorses. They’re great for practicing networking, VLANs, system orchestration (e.g. Ansible, Cockpit) application clustering and horizontal scaling, diskless workstations, setting up a demo office server and workstations, and even VMs if you’re just practicing; they’re a little underpowered to run a lot of VMs, but you can certainly run a few small ones just to practice managing them.
My dog and I hunt them when we’re outside. They love to nest in my porch roof, so when they’re buzzing around I swat them with a broom, the dog will pin them and keep them from getting back up while I go in for the squish.
I tried setting up a carpenter bee trap, but the bitches ate right through it.
