  • Game Thread: San Francisco 49ers (0-0) at Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0)

  • For all that offseason hype and hoopla, we Steelers sure have not looked too good these first 12 minutes or so

  • How to build fire protective battery charger enclosure?

  • Y'know - I think stacking cinder blocks and some pavers on top would actually work just fine. Just angle the cinder blocks so the ones at the bottom have the holes poking out (and into the enclosure) and that should provide enough airflow to keep it from getting too hot in there.

    Heck, you could probably angle them all that way except for the top ones. I haven't seen videos of battery fires, but unless they're like really really flammable, the fire shouldn't burn out from around the several inches of concrete that surrounds it.

    Remember fire burns up so the pavers and concrete blocks at the top will be what are actually blocking the most.

  • Breaking: Joe Burrow just went down grabbing the calf he has in a sleeve. Hobbled his way down to the field

  • It's just incredible what they can do with stem cell technology these days

  • What if cars grew from use - like animals. A lot of people with big/small vehicles today would be flipped around.

  • And then there's those of us who stick 8-foot boards diagonally through their Honda Civics so a couple inches are sticking out the front passenger and rear driver windows.

    Coincidentally, by far the most use my dad's pickup truck bed gets is when I borrow it from him to really load up at Home Depot.

  • Every other species in the world gets to go out in their birthday suit...

  • The earth was in an ice age around 19,000 - 26,000 years ago - perhaps it started around then when everything was quite a bit cooler.

  • Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?

  • It probably is that popular among this crowd. There's options to self-host your own Bitwarden instance IIRC.

    I've started migrating away from LastPass and am using Bitwarden for new projects personally. LastPass is way better than nothing, but I wouldn't recommend LastPass over Bitwarden these days.

  • U ducting in the middle of room...how do I hide this

  • Build some vertical storage shelves underneath it! Make them run all the way up to where the U is, then drywall over the U or something so it isn't sticking out. Maybe even make a bigger covered space on top of the top shelf. Make the thing go all the way from the floor up to where the U meets, maybe some of those real dark aged bronze type metal supports that seem to be popular as finishes these days.

  • Vapor barrier when repairing only a section of drywall?

  • If it were me and everything else was fine every-wise, I'd try to match with what's already there. Go with what works and sit back with the peace of mind that you won't have to rip open your drywall a third time.

    What are ya'll doing for Father's day?

  • How can Lemmy avoid the bots?

  • Yeah, I do agree Beehaw won't be able to grow significantly if they keep doing things the way they're doing them right now. At present point, they're going to likely remain a more niche community long-term with how they're operating. Who knows though, maybe this is what they want. Lemmy would have to do something different though without a herculean moderation effort.

  • How can Lemmy avoid the bots?

  • I reckon it'd depend significantly on the instance. Beehaw has a signup form reviewed by humans - measures like this are by no means perfect, but coupled with other bot detection software could help. If an instance developed a real issue with bots, other more strict instances could potentially ban up votes and comments from accounts on it.

    At the very least, tracking instances that account interaction came from should be quite doable, so users part of more strict instances could filter out upvotes and comments from less strict instances if desired.

  • I'm pretty positive my parents haven't grout sealed their shower since they bought their house, so it's been at least, oh..... 27 years for them?

    I mean, not that I recommend going this long, as now as their dutiful and caring adult child I'll likely be the one taking it upon myself to completely regrout the whole thing, but goes to show how long you could go with things probably being mostly okay.

    Steelers See Improvement In Kendrick Green: 'He Did A Lot Of Good Things'

    steelersdepot.com /2023/06/steelers-see-improvement-in-kendrick-green-he-did-a-lot-of-good-things/

  • Why aren't there more admin level graphical tools available for Linux? Or if there are, what are they?

  • What kinds of "various" admin level tasks are we talking about here?

    A lot of desktop distros do have these kinds of tools in place. You can create and edit users and groups, set file permissions, create folders and files, download and update packages on your system, view disk usage, etc, etc. Shoot, specialized distros like gparted can be used to partition disks, or live boot a system to repair it.

    But for a lot of things, building a GUI for the interface just takes so dang long to do, and takes so much more time and effort to get right than building out text commands, that it just really doesn't make sense to make it as big of a focus.

  • How is lemmyworld so stable?

  • I bet you could do it if your instance didn't pull in a lot of traffic.

    If it did..... I reckon that you might be able to pull it off to a certain extent so long as your internet package was good enough, but if you got hit with a Reddit-level flood of incoming users, your network almost certainly wouldn't be able to keep up.

    Even if it could, if you were consistently eating through all the upload bandwidth, I reckon you'd draw the eyes of your ISP and they might send you a letter kindly and respectfully telling you that if you don't upgrade to a commercial line they're not renewing your contract.
