State Voter Suppression Bills Could Disenfranchise Millions Ahead of Midterm Elections
  • That's not enough to register anywhere in the US. This is about disenfranchising voters.

    And "just trust me bro" isn't enough to register in my experience anyway. When I first registered, I didn't have any ID, so I submitted an affidavit, which is "just trust me bro", but with the force of law and consequences for fraudulent submission. But that's a very rare case, most people are registered with some form of ID.

  • What hardware does not support Linux?
  • I bought a new one recently. Apparently they're doing a subscription thing now, so look closely at which model you're buying. But other than that, it works just the same as my old one.

  • Docker Backup Stratagy
  • Yup, it works great. I actually did it myself when migrating from a centos to debian host. Worked first try, no issues (except one thing that was already broken but I didn't know because I hadn't accessed it recently). Containers are great for this.

  • [Question] Quietest 16-18TB hard drive for NAS
  • I think that's being amplified by the case. They do make more noise than most, but it's not actually all that loud. I have four in the server in my bedroom, and the fan, even at quiet low speed, is louder than the drives.

    Facts are bigotry on lemmy.ml

    As if we didn't already know. I didn't know being against businesses using slave labor counted as bigotry, though.

    This post crashes Boost when you see it in the post list

    Link to post: https://lemmy.world/post/19274834

    If you tap that link in Boost it'll probably crash, so don't do it unless you're okay with that.

    I'm guessing the problem is that the post URL is a magnet link.

    Edit: oh yeah, to work around, you'll have to open it in a browser and hide it.

    Mods of !news are now banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot?

    I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."

    So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @aniki@lemmings.world was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.

    (Also earlier today @MindTraveller@lemmy.ca was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)

    One more today, @stormesp@lemm.ee was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.

    So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
