I’m cool with AI. I’ve been having a blast playing with stable diffusion

From how I see it, they’re fine as long as they’re labelled as AI posts.

Seathru , to Do It Yourself in New to DIY. Are multi tools recommended?

By multi-tool, do you mean a rotary tool like a dremel or one of the oscillating multi tool? Personally I haven’t found much use for a use for a rotary tool in my home improvement adventures, but I have friends more into woodworking that love the oscillating multi tools.

In addition to the ones you listed, I would recommend a jig saw, circular saw, and optionally a belt sander. That will cover most small to medium home improvement projects. I found all 3 of those tools for less than $20 each looking around pawn shops. The jig saw is the most versatile, you can cut wood or metal with the right blade, it just doesn’t excel at making straight cuts. That’s where the circular saw comes in.

Acid , to Star Trek in Who are your favorite Trek reviewers/Youtubers?
@Acid@startrek.website avatar

Honestly, the only one I still catch from time to time is Sean on Trek culture because all the other ones got absurdly hostile the last few years when it came to Discovery & Picard and it ended up with people quoting some truly insane alt right sources like midnights edge.

I find it better to just enjoy the shows and discuss on reddit(now lemmy) than watch these influencers.

furrowsofar , to Do It Yourself in New to DIY. Are multi tools recommended?

I just plan every project and only buy tools when I need to. Then use general tools that I have before buying something new. So mostly I am opposed to the buy ahead approach.

PixelOfLife , to Star Trek in What is everyone's favorite era of starship design?

ENT era, and specifically the Andorian Kumari-class.

T156 , to Star Trek in What is everyone's favorite era of starship design?

TOS/TAS/Kelvin/32c

I like the TOS/TAS and 32nd century designs for pushing the envelope for what a star Trek starship could look like, instead of just iterating on the same basic designs over and over, or repeating generic Sci-Fi starship designs. A starship that’s just a giant disco blob, a bunch of loosely-connected pods, or a space doughnut/colony, are all unique ideas we’ve not seen before or since. Even the Enterprise was unique compared to the rocket-ships of the time, taking a lot of design work to give it that iconic look, unlike any other starship seen before.

By comparison, a lot of series after TOS/TAS tended to mostly iterate on the same design. For its flaws (like using a millennium-old drive mechanism), the 32nd century ships appear to try and buck that with radical changes. Chain and Courier ships look nothing like alien vessels of the time, and the Federation starships are rather different, with ships like the Eisenberg class being tall instead of wide, compared to previous Federation ships we’d seen before.

Kelvin is just a fun modern take on the TOS, even if I’m not entirely convinced about the interior, and like Discovery, lays the groundwork for the TMP style of ships, with their square-ish nacelle designs.

lal309 , to Sysadmin in Now that everyone hates Red Hat, what's a good alternative to RHCSA/RHCE?

I must be way behind. What happen with RH? I just migrated a bunch of servers to Alma , albeit not in prod but still.

Expand ,

Redhat made it against their terms to rebadge rhel as another distro and locked their source behind a paywall basically, theres more to it but thats the jist

zerocool ,

Grandfathering Alma and Rocky, though, correct? I’d find it hard to believe they’d take CentOS, then try to eliminate Alma and Rocky. If there is anything keeping RH alive its that community to enterprise pipeline…

pete ,

No grandfathering. Alma and rocky are working on a way to continue. The reason was not specifically given but they believe that the community doesn’t provide an equal share of value.

My guess is the NASA/qci contract to provide rocky Linux support.

lal309 ,

Does anyone know if this affects Fedora based spin offs? For example Nobara.

Expand ,

Shouldnt for now

Policeshootout , to Home Improvement in What is a good situation to use a tankless water heater?

I live in Canada where it often gets below -20c in the winter. I have a cheap electric water heater (eco smart) and it does our house of two people fine. It’s a little slow to fill our tub, though. Cold weather has nothing to do with tankless vs storage water heaters. The company we hire to do our plumbing and HVAC installs in new homes we build often recommends Navien gas water heaters. They work great at high flow rates but require direct ventilation of the combustion gas. The last two homes I built used Navien tankless heaters and the home owners are extremely happy with them. Talk to a different installer in your area. HVAC contractors are probably to be the most knowledgeable.

thorbot , to Sysadmin in Hello lemmy!!!

Heyo! Welcome to the party!

thorbot , to Sysadmin in [RANT] Why do I need an app to set up a switch?

I actually really appreciate just whipping out my phone and hitting “Adopt” when I am setting up new hardware at a site (UniFi stuff). It gets added, updated, and it’s done. Then I can leave and go manage it from the office.

thorbot , to Sysadmin in Does nonstop reading from a hard drive reduce its lifespan?

Yes, but the number of hours they can withstand these reads is rather insane. I’ve seen SAS level drives with millions of hours of runtime and no bad blocks. They are pretty robust these days!

MeccAnon , to RedditMigration in Hello
@MeccAnon@kbin.social avatar

oh hello there.

Ragnell , to RedditMigration in There needs to be a step by step migration guide
@Ragnell@kbin.social avatar

Maybe we need a Fediverse wiki with specific sections to guide people through choosing an app, an instance, account creation and migration from another platform.

One thing about Kbin and Lemmy is we are probably the best positioned to create these guides, at least, due to the redditlike nature of these apps.
