I didn’t necessarily mean that you or your name is in there. But, if someone were to obtain a sample of your DNA, they would see partials matches to your family members, and then they would be able to use public records to see additional family members and narrow down to you, siblings, cousins, and other extended family as a list of potential matches that they would have to then verify as a match.

Enough people have already given DNA for ancestry based DNA matches to highly narrow down to most individuals if your DNA isn’t already in a database. It’s already too late.

Mike DeWine and his gang of criminals have 0 respect or shred of integrity and ethical province. His old PUCO chairman got indicted today from back in 2019 with the FirstEnergy scandal. Ohio republicans are a fucking scourge.

It’s worth it when you can have it (forever). There’s always some price of admission, nothing in piracy is ever really free. You can certainly circumvent any blockades with a VPN and find a way to use crypto to fund the paid plan.

Spotify streaming quality isn’t great anyway. Choose a different streaming service like Tidal which has actively maintained tools to get what you need

Some Netflix shows that are in 4K have not been showing up in private trackers lately

If you get a YouTube music subscription can you use it to rip higher bitrate audio? I thought free videos bitrate was capped, I’m just using yt-dlp to archive videos/channels at the moment

Once I’m back in a house and have a garage I’m definitely going to try out roasting. What do you use?

I only use Tailscale to remote into my network devices. Everything else I access with Cloudflare, haven’t had any issues with it.

I feel like we’re seeing the inherent flaws of the fediverse here in some aspects. A completely democratic spread or spread in general of communities doesn’t seem like it’s going to work. Real people and infrastructure are behind making sure instances with communities that serve large amounts of user requests stay up and operable. Infrastructure costs people and money, and people with right skills and fundraising skills are not evenly distributed.

If an instance touts itself to be a mega-instance, that’s one thing. Lemmy is still a confusing place to understand if I should create my own community or join one. Some communities and instances have a lot more % active users and moderators than others.

People are also lazy. Hosting your own instance is “easy” until you have a popular community, or handful of popular communities. Unless you treat it like a job, not a whole lot of people are interested in spending time figuring out fundraising and dev ops to ensure their community can deal with future user growth.

Money, talent, and physical infrastructure aren’t evenly and fairly available. So it makes it difficult to produce a federated universe that doesn’t reflect these things.

Can’t expect new users to go down the rabbit hole of trying to understand what instance they should make an account on. All instances will grow over time and we are seeing a lot of unevenness because of factors stated above. Instances will surely balance out as time goes on, so I think whoever is prematurely attacking large instances—whether they are doing so for fediverse axiom related issues or not—is making fundamental mistakes of fediverse theory.

Wire distribution tool. It’s a tool you can use to both evenly distribute the grounds in your portafilter as well as break up any static clumps.

I’m not as adventurous trying out different roasters these days. I have a local one that is really good that I have been loyal to for several months. First time I brewed decaf was actually like a month and a half ago.

My current roasts come from Coffee Emporium out of Cincinnati, OH

OBM Espresso and Decaf Emporium Blend

I also do a half and half of these roasts for low-caf

Exactly. We’re not inventing an iPhone or anything. Extremely niche software that is losing market space every month while the PM’s sit around and prioritize the wrong things, there’s no strategy.

“Add support for another vendor”

“Okay I understood what you wanted perfectly without any context, I’ve also compiled, pushed, and upgraded your customers”

Some people think it will really be that easy. Maybe 50 years from now, but not with these generative models lmao.

Someone tell my boss this, they don’t understand agile. They think we can “start the process” of developing a solution before we’ve understood a single thing about what the customer needs.

And it’s not that we don’t have 100% of the requirements either. It’s basically a we don’t talk to the customer or perform market research to know where we should take the product, so I’m going to make up features at an absurdly abstract level and no you don’t need to meet to talk about it, just start working. “The requirements will come later”, they say. From whom exactly? 🤔

Managed to get an invite to a decent private tracker with a great selection. Ever since the downfall of RARBG I’ve basically been 90% private for most of my stuff. I relied very heavily on it. Like someone else said, public occasionally has things the private ones don’t. Private trackers may integrate public items into their communities.
