I don't think angles are very good for hard drives unfortunately. Make the PC parallel with the table leg?

Shepy , to Home Improvement in How do I seal this hole?

Expanding foam all day long

Draupnir ,

Better yet, anti-rodent expanding foam

p_diablo ,

Is that an actual thing? I diy’d some of that by shoving a bunch of steel-wool into the foam while it was wet. Seems to have worked.

Draupnir ,

That should work actually, we already know they don’t like steel wool so you’ve likely achieved the same effect

CallumWells , to selfhosted in You know how hard it was to fit my home lab there

Why do you have it that way and not the more standard way of rotated 90 degrees from what you have?

kaupas24 OP ,

If you mean by laying it on its side, I did it because the case has punch out side panels. They're both plexi glass too, so I assume it would shatter under the weight of this pc. (~40kg)

tripplehelix ,
@tripplehelix@kbin.social avatar

no... just make the computer face you so it's flat on the floor....

kaupas24 OP ,

I was thinking the same thing, but the pc is almost as long as the triangle wall, so imo it's not as space efficient, even if it's less jank

MachineBEM ,

Can you post more pics? It's hard to make out the shape of the computer and space available. I'm interested to see how this is the more space efficient way.

wildbus8979 , to selfhosted in You know how hard it was to fit my home lab there

That can’t be good for spinning rust platters. You’re putting off axis radial loads on those bearings.

MythologicalEngineer ,

These days they could definitely be 100% solid state, though probably also not good for fan bearings.

kaupas24 OP , to selfhosted in You know how hard it was to fit my home lab there

Yes. Every part of this image is jank. If it works, it works!

LollerCorleone , to Fediverse in So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting.
@LollerCorleone@kbin.social avatar

What else did you expect from Meta?

Rabbithole OP ,

Oh, I expected absolutely nothing else.

Manifish_Destiny , to RedditMigration in Minecraft is leaving Reddit

Welcome to the 'find out' phase, which should wrap up nicely by around the 7th.

Newo ,

I’m out of the loop here, what happens on the 7th?

cazzodicristo OP ,

total reddit death. TRD

Dav ,
@Dav@kbin.social avatar

It’ll take about a week for the ‘find out’ phase to wrap up, then we’re onto the lesser known ‘baby please come back I can change’ phase.

DreamyDolphin ,
@DreamyDolphin@kbin.social avatar

The 3rd party apps are closing at the end of this month, which means there'll be somewhere around a week or so of people realising just how bad the official app is, plus decreased quality content as the actually-motivated people who post things continue their gradual migration away from reddit and driving redditors to seek other places to gather.

TaygetaDuck ,

Meanwhile all of the repost bots can post and comment on each other’s threads keeping the Reddit server humming away.

Good riddance.

Hyperreality ,

It's kinda funny in a dystopian way.

A lonely guy playing a creepy hentai game gets some sexual gratification from his time spent interacting with a piece of software and is at least somewhat self-aware. He knows it's just software, even if he 'married' his bodypillow.

Meanwhile there are increasing numbers of people unaware they're regularly interacting with bots online, not realising one of the reasons social media is making them sadder is because they've atttempting to fulfill their need for social interaction with a facsimile thereof.

It's not unlike Idiocracy, where they give the plants Brawndo instead of water, then wonder why the plants are dying. Vast swathes of the world are feeding their social needs with social media brawndo.

Conversational masturbation.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a bot

Also you’re blaming the medium, rather than the malicious actors.

If AI text generative technology was around a century earlier you’d have people being penpals or print newspaper write-ins with a bot instead. Communicating through text is inherently risky, so best to blame the people who abuse that fact instead.

cyberian_khatru ,
@cyberian_khatru@kbin.social avatar

you’re blaming the medium

I don't think that's implied in the post. Also reddit inc is complicit in the bot farming since it boosts their engagement metrics.

killick ,
@killick@kbin.social avatar

But, Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.

tuxrandom ,

At some point, it will just be repost bots having conversations in the comments of posts "created" by other repost bots.

It ended up as /u/Spez’s roadmap for the future of Reddit.

Kbin_space_program ,

I realized that after deleting my oldest reddit account I should have sold the damn thing.

Might work out how to do that yet for my remaining accounts

curiosityLynx ,

I like my username too much to have a hand in making it shill ads and misinformation.

Anarch157a ,
@Anarch157a@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. I’m Anarch157a everywhere (except Mastodon, for reasons), Steam, Lemmy, Discord, etc. Having my old - now deleted - Reddit account as a bot could spill over my identity in other services.

joelfromaus ,
@joelfromaus@aussie.zone avatar

I won’t miss checking the post and top comment accounts to see if they’re bots. I’m hoping the same doesn’t start occurring over here.

sliceable_aspirin ,

Its gonna be interesting when Reddit turns into r/SubredditSimulator

bobs_monkey ,

Yup, just got the notification from BaconReader this morning that they’re throwing in the towel

@DarthYoshiBoy@kbin.social avatar

I'm just going to venture a guess now that at the completion of this event, they're not going to have the usual video progression montage that they have done in years past. There would be far too many hard cuts for it to be as sterile as they'd like while still showing the progress through the event.

Calcharger ,
@Calcharger@kbin.social avatar

I'm sure someone else was grabbing screen grabs of the event for the duration. Looking forward to watching all the FUCK SPEZ

MonochromeObserver ,
@MonochromeObserver@kbin.social avatar

@DarthYoshiBoy they don't seem to censor anything on youtube compilations

genoxidedev1 ,
@genoxidedev1@kbin.social avatar

They don't need to cut anything so far they posted every days timelapse mostly complete and didn't censor the fuck spez messages.

I could imagine them cutting the very end out though.

Thagthebarbarian ,

They’ve been having no issue posting the progression clips to TikTok

You wanna try again with that title salad

kratoz29 ,

Good thing we can edit titles here.

ziggurism ,
@ziggurism@lemmy.world avatar

so why doesn’t he?

kratoz29 ,

Maybe he still has the Reddit mindset? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Technological_Elite OP ,

I swear on my left nut I did, not once, but TWICE! Triple checked and is appearing as the correct title. I don't fucking know what's going on.

digitalgadget ,

Looks like you have two posts on my feed

@I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social avatar

Your post has an incorrect title.

Technological_Elite OP ,

Hey, thanks! I thought I edited the typos out but I guess ot didn't save. I did it again and it seems to look correct to me!

I_Miss_Daniel ,
@I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social avatar

Mine is still titled "Reddit for Lemmy..." which would be a rather controversial product :)

Maybe it's just cached with that title on kbin, where I'm seeing it.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

Nope, not fixed. And unlike Reddit, you can edit the title.

Technological_Elite OP ,

Please tell me it's fixed now.

AFKBRBChocolate ,
Technological_Elite OP ,

Oh my GOD. Kbin needs to fix this, fediverse or whoever can fix it. This isnt fair 😭. I edited already I promise.

AFKBRBChocolate ,

I believe you! There are lots of little issues - it’s a young platform. If it’s any consolation, “Reddit for Lemmy” makes me giggle everytime I see it.

abff08f4813c ,

Finally showing up correctly for me.

@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

@Technological_Elite I don't understand what "Reddit for Lemmy" means. Is this some sort of application to convert Reddit posts to Lemmy or access through Lemmy?

Freeman ,

Wrong words in title

Technological_Elite OP ,

My brain had a heart attack

torafugu ,
@torafugu@kbin.social avatar

Hey, just make it intentional by calling it a joke. Reddit is nothing without its 3rd party apps, and Boost was one of them. It's basically Reddit for Lemmy.

CosmicSploogeDrizzle , to RedditMigration in Boost for Lemmy is coming! Same author as Boost for reddit, I double checked just to be sure, it's the same author!
@CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world avatar

So excited! I’m running the Sync for Lemmy beta right now and it’s amazing. It should also have its Google play preload launching any day now with beta release following shortly thereafter.

Edit: sorry, I wasn’t trying to hype sync over boost here. I was just saying having boost and sync coming soon together is really exciting!

dub ,

Where did you get the Beta?? I haven’t seen anything official!

CosmicSploogeDrizzle ,
@CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world avatar

He dropped a 100 invite private beta yesterday in his discord to get a small team of bug squashers together so he can take it the last mile before release. I just got lucky and was hanging out at the right time. He has a preregistration pending with google (they have to approve it) that he hopes will become available earliest tomorrow. This will allow you to preregister like you can for boost. Then he is hoping by end of week to launch the public beta. He just finished up implementing search (which will come to us in tomorrow’s update), and is halfway done implementing messaging. Then there’s a high priority comment sorting issue. I think those are the last 3 major bugs he wants worked out before the public beta.

The app is smooth as hell. It’s already on Beta 12 as of today with beta 13 coming tomorrow when he wakes up and compiles it. It’s not perfect featurewise (yet) but boy does it feel like I’m just using reddit. He has a GitHub issue tracker as well so you can see what isn’t working atm if you want.

github.com/laurencedawson/sync-for-lemmy

Tldr: it’s not quite ready yet. I still use Jerboa for posting and the web UI for messages and mod tools at the moment, but at his current pace, I don’t think I’ll be needing multiple for much longer

Technological_Elite OP ,

This is great! Glad to see 3rd parties switching over to something better!

ClassyDave , to RedditMigration in The whiteout delivers a clear message!

If I'm Spez, aren't I just laughing at all the people who are still using my platform to do this? They are still getting ad revenue from all those page visits right?

Shhalahr ,

Not if they’re using ad blockers.

blunderworld , to RedditMigration in Boost for Lemmy is coming! Same author as Boost for reddit, I double checked just to be sure, it's the same author!

Can’t wait to try Reddit for Lemmy

Lifecoach5000 ,

Have you tried Lemmy for Reddit?

RoboRay ,
@RoboRay@kbin.social avatar

I'd be more interested in Lemmy for Reddit for Lemmy.

What about Leddit for Remmy?

Technological_Elite OP ,

Maybe on another heart attack from my brain creating a jumbled word salad.
