Good! Those suckers are hard to catch but must pay for their crimes against humanity.

Evanecense bring me back to life, linkin park numb, lady gaga bad romance. These ones al give the same “oh god, I member that” mixed with a strong embarrassment for some of 2000s pop culture.

Its 12v dc from batteries straight to the bulbs. They are meant for 12v-24v dc in. Ive never been in boat or rv so I don’t know what kind of lighting they use. The 12v e26 led bulbs say they are for RVs and boats so IDK what the difference is. I did what I wanted to do with the voltage and connectors I was familiar with. My other homes had e26 bulbs so why not this one just for 12v? This way I can use the fixture with Car battery or jumper pack battery with a cig plug connection.

To me it’s more like the numbers mean something different. While they still mean mostly nothing, the numbers that display on your profile tell what kind of user you are and how much seniority you have here. Been here close to two years? Maybe you came from the API fiasco. Got 1000+ comments and 50+ post? Somewhat active user you probably seen once or twice before. 0 post and below 50 comments but seemingly active? Potential lurker. Still mostly meaningless because it could be alt and who really cares but NGL when I look at the stats of the really active users I’m like damn they really contributed to the Lemmy content mill.

You are free to pick an instance that aligns with your values and preferences for moderation. Its a double edged sword because it enables echo chambers which I think isnt great but it seems many people like those actually.

The sub’s, filters, and block list serves as a manual replacement for the algorithm. Its hard building it up but once you do Lemmy becomes mostly enjoyable as long as you keep to what you like.

Theoretically you may be able to store the core seed information that encodes the starting constants that lead to the beginning of the universe. Its not really the same thing like the difference between a cake and the recipe used to make it. Information systems can be distilled to core seed equations and regenerated by iterating that equation many times. This is Barnsley’s collage theorem.

Diy success: building my own solar system that works over a year later.

Diy failure: upgrading a computer with new GPU as a young teenager, not understanding different graphics card sizes and case limits, getting a three fan to replace a two fan, forcing it into the case (I forget how I modified things to fit) and having the whole thing blow up a few months later.

Diy success: wiring up a cheap induction heater board when I couldn’t afford a nice one.

Diy failure: not giving a shit about proper project boxes. Also using electrical tape, heat shrink, splicing screw caps, and quick disconnects instead of soldering (I fucking hate soldering and welding hate working with molten metal liquids man). I’ll never be able to flex my project online without fellow electrical engineers rightfully calling me out on my lack of code following, could-go-wrongisms, and general poor layout.

Diy success: turning a old gaming computer into a local model engine server.

Diy failure: when I was just learning how to use a voltmeter I acidentally put the probes into the house outlet while testing amperage. It got fried.

Exactly its a great tool but gotta use it responsibly in a way that your information isn’t being collected

Pot/weed. I understand why non-partakers dont care for it but I gotta get a sniff whenever opening a new bag

“I need to do my best to be a better version of myself.”

Its important to not only acknowledge personal flaws but to work on improving them. Throughout my life when ive been negatively affected by people around me with bad attiudes and mental complexes their no.1 shield has always been “They can’t help it, thats just how they are.”

I hate that statement more than most political ideologies. I rebel against the truths buried in it with every fiber of my being. I’m a firm believer that, regardless of diagnosis or poor life circumstances, on some level you need take personal responsibility for your negative personality traits and poor life choices made. Its our moral responsibility to self-improve and change our nature for the better if we have any hope of working out of this mess.

I was in a bad spot with not liking myself , still am kind of, and needed to to truly believe I could change. I needed it more than anything. I needed to believe that you could change your mind/life if you never give up at it, and put in the work to do so. I am convinced that attitudes lead to self fufilling phophecy. Hard effort and introspection are required in order to truly change the nature of a person so they can become better than they were.

But its hard. Hard to make a better choice in a negative situation, hard to walk away from arguments before they happen and hold yourself back from tantrums. Hard to look at yourself in the mirror and stare into the ugliest parts of your being. Hard to move past the emotional traumas that contribute to your shitty behavior. Even harder to root out and confront the heart of darkness that lives deep in the subconscious. To come to terms with the fact you will never truly shed being an imperfect emotionally whacky sentient ape, but can learn to process and act in healthier ways.

When I first picked up guitar and my string broke, I didn’t know what to do or if I fucked up loosing the ball end. I asked !guitars@lemmy.world for help and everyone there was so supportive in helping me understand what happened.

We will get there but it will take time and effort on everyone’s part. Gotta be the change ypu want to see. Take a picture of your guitar and post. Record a 30 second sample upload it to youtube or a peertube instance and post, recommend a sweet tab you think others would like to play and post. Make a slingshot from a guitar string and post. And comment comment comment supportively under everyone else’s post so they are engaged to make more. Be hands on, become a mod of a inactive community and make it your baby if that helps.

Welcome sunnytimes :) Im sure you will settle in nicely. Things get even better the more curated your sub feed and block list become.

I started enjoy lemmy a lot more when I embraced a more active hands on mindset.

I opened a community for my niche metal detecting hobby and post every find I can.

Then I became a mod of several communities I was really into and embraced my creative side to give them glow-ups. Custom animated artwork and high quality banners. Detailed descriptions and change-logs. Still actively posting in them to keep alive.

I try to make one meme a day in gimp and shitpost somewhere. Sometimes its loved, sometimes its dogpiled, Lemmy got its engagement either way mission accomplished. The computer should be used as a tool of productivity/creativity sometimes not just entertainment machine.

I’m so happy its a small social media. I have a chance to make a difference and be seen and socially network. To be motivated to post and have people recognize my pseudonym and help fuel the growing of a platform I believe in. This isnt a smaller reddit or the next successor to dig. Its a return to web 1.0 defederated BBS with a shiny new coat of paint free from corpo bs I’m so here for it.

Long term mutual association with people who share communities. Note peoples usernames, try to engage with niche communities, give supportive comments.

Say peoples usernames when talking to them where appropriate. Make note of who says what in a comment chain. It shows you care enough to remember them across multiple interactions.

Okay I think the term ‘foot-gun’ is supposed to evoke the image of someone loading a gun and pointing it at their own foot. I can’t help trying to picture a gun thats operated by a foot. Like a mech suit with a robot leg that also fires massive tank shattering shells when you do a roundhouse kick as a human operator. Or a veteran prosthetic leg that’s also a rifle when you kick it the right way.

The brain rot seeps just a little bit more every time I see the term ‘foot-gun’ please help.

I decided to make some OC, hope you enjoy!
