Putin’s much-feared ‘Satan 2’ nuclear missile failed 4 out of 5 tests
  • All of those happened before the modern safeguards were adopted by the US. We're lucky none of them went super-critical. We just don't know for sure if the Soviet leftovers Russia has were upgraded to the same atandards.

  • Is martial arts really that useful?
  • OP need to train for languaging.

  • Short video on why we should block fascists instead of debating them online
  • "Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience" - Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln (probably)

  • Já está em funcionamento radar que multa veículos que fazem muito barulho
  • Que venham os carros elétricos (eu já tenho um). Não polui nem o ar nem nossos ouvidos.

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating
  • That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating
  • Same. It was one the worst espressos of my life. Considering that I live in Brazil, the world's largest producers of coffee, that disgusting liquid was like a slap in the face.

  • Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating
  • Fuel rationing. You get a certain ammount of fuel per year with no extra taxes on it. If you use above that ammount, you're charged a marginal environment tax.

  • X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders
  • Musk has called the Moraes' decisions regarding X "unconstitutional."

    According to which constitution Melon ? You do realize that Brazil is a sovereign country and we have our own constitution right ? You know, the one that has explicit protections against hate speech, discrimination and harassment ?

    Also, do you really think you know more about our constitution than a fucking Supreme Court Minister ?

    You're pathetic, Elmo.

  • Russia Loses Last Black Sea Missile Ship
  • According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

    How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

    Holy! Shit!

  • Bank of America tells Detroit’s Big 3 they can’t make money in China and should just leave the hypercompetitive car market ‘as soon as they possibly can’
  • I read this as "We're not competitive on a global market anymore, so let's retreat into an shrinking niche, until we're gone or someone buys us".

    Sure, they can't compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication.... Oh, wait... those are US car makers. They wouldn't know quality if it smacked them in the face.

    Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

  • Fraudsters of Lemmy, how would you commit fraud if governments embrace cryptography
  • if you ignore the human element

    And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.

    Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.

  • Ukrainian warplane fires weapon at target inside Russia for first time
  • Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia's defenses are

  • Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
  • Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That's just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

    My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.

  • To Fight ‘Shrinkflation’ France Will Force Retailers to Warn Shoppers: Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut
  • I was wrong in one thing, it hasn't been a thing for 10 years, but for 20. It was determined by the Minister of Justice, based on article 55 of the Consumer Protection Code. More here. I remember seeing some warnings on labels back when the rule was new. My opinion is that companies got smarter and realized that those warnings were damaging to their brands, so they just stopped with the practice of shrinking products, which is why you never noticed.

  • To Fight ‘Shrinkflation’ France Will Force Retailers to Warn Shoppers: Merchants will be required to put signs in front of all products that have been reduced in size without a corresponding price cut
  • This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they're enforced successfully.

  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
  • If too many people do this, you bet "smart" TV peddlers will start bundling cellular modems on their devices, so they can connect directly to their servers without relying on your WiFi, just like car companies do. Blocking this would require enclosing the TV in a Faraday cage.

  • Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana?
  • It's very easy to screw up distilation. If the temperture is not carefully controlled and you miss the points to discard the head and tails, you end up with lighter (like methanol) and heavier (like propanol or butanol) alcohols, all of them much more toxic than good old ethanol.

  • Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Full Changelog
  • Fuck it ! I'm buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I'm buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.

  • Help a noob find what I'm looking for please. I have a bunch of IP addresses and I wanna give em names.
  • I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

    Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

    Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

    One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

  • Brazil is close to approve law to stimulate gaming development

    Projeto de lei volta para análise da Câmara dos Deputados

    Regulamentação dos jogos eletrônicos é aprovada pelos senadores

    The benefits include reduction on revenue taxes, classifies gaming development as technology and innovation research, which allows company to pay up to 50% less on the Tax on Manufactured Goods, simplifies the incorporation of gaming companies and regulates in-app purchases in games targeted at children, while also requiring updated parental controls on those games.

    > Due to difficulties I had installing Piped, an alternative frontend for Youtube, I decided to improve and document the process in a better way. In the end, I pretty much redid the whole thing, leaving almost no stone un-turned. You can test my installer from my repo and post any comments and doubts here.

    Just installed Viewtube. What's your favorite alternative youtube frontend ?

    I used a public instance of Piped for a while and thought about selfhosting it, but the installation process was incredibly hard, to the point of being obnoxious, and in the end, it didn't even work. I liked the features I saw on the public instances and would like to revisit it some time. Until there I'm using Viewtube. Installation was a breeze and it looks pretty nice.

    Do you have some other YT frontend that we could try, post it here and tell us how easy/difficult it is to run and your opinion about it.

    SearxNG installation is pretty simple

    Today I decided to install SearxNG, just to for $h1ts and giggles, and to avoid a little bit of tracking by those creeps at Google and Bing.

    I started wit a clean Debian 12 LXC container on my Proxmox server and used the installation script route. I just needed to:

    • Create a non-root user . DO NOT call this user searxng, this is the user the install script creates for you, if it already exists, the script will fail
    • Add this user to the the sudo group
    • Install sudo, git and curl
    • Clone the install repo
    • Run the install script
    • Run the nginx setup script

    That's it. The search page will be available in http://<ip-address>/searxng

    Who is the John Mastodon of Lemmy ?

    It would be funny of Lemmy had some kind of lore about a hero creator, like John Mastodon. Who dou you ppl think we could raise to such position ? Should they be someone fictional or do you think we should go with Lemy Kilmister ?
