ATV is cool, yeah!

But sampling soil from who-knows-where is shit. Imagine two weeks of rain at 4 °C and everyday you have to drive out. You are muddy, you are wet, you are freezing.

IMO body proportions are much more important than just size.

Yes, this seems to be the correct one. 👍

Does this have a word? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 months ago by Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Is there a (non-medical) word for the border/skin fold between butt and thigh?

I have a feeling there is one.

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.

Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

An alternative is plain old school irc. I'm not kidding.
Connect to irc.irchighway.net then /j #ebooks then !search <author and/or title>
Receive search results via xdcc which gives you the commands to download that stuff.
Or query one of the bots (e. g. @bsk) and get a list of hundreds of thousands of books that are available and search that for what you want.

I prefer that over ad infested one click hosters with countdowns, link shortener cascades and captchas. I find and get the stuff much faster by using irc.

...and let 'murica pay for it.

Hi fellow selfhosters!

What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it's an interesting story.

I'll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox

Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That's it.

I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.  
 
 

Now let your pants down and tell me all about

your embarrassing host names!

And there it is. If that really happens international stability will go down the drain. Does Trump want to return to isolationism like in pre-WW1? This doesn't seem profitable.

The EU member states are safe. The membership contracts include a defense alliance. But there some other NATO states that are outside the EU. They'll need to work out a European successor of NATO probably with the EU at its helm.

MMO mouse for linux? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi!

I'm looking for an inexpensive MMO mouse (that's a mouse with way more that five buttons) that's fully supported by Linux.

That also means there's some kind of tool that lets me configure what all the extra buttons do.
For example I want to map Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V and virtual desktop switching to the mouse buttons.

But honestly it's difficult to find any such mouse.
I stumbled upon this link and there are several mouses listed. The first place isn't on sale anymore. It was also way to expensive. The second place has this rubber coating that dissolves in disgusting black paint after a year or two. The article also mentioned 8 programmable buttons but the mouse only has 6 and 7 button variants. The third one doesn't have enough buttons. And so on.

Is there a site/place where I can search and compare mouses with lots of buttons that has a configuration/mapping tool running on Linux?

I first thought to reach out to a mouse/periphery/hardware community but chose not to do it. Most people do not use Linux so answers from them won't be as helpful as yours.

Thank you for your time!

It just popped up in my mind.

  • You could decorate any room as you like. You don't even need to step out of it most of the times.
  • Other people can be projected inside it like Voyager's doctor.
  • Also rooms could be much smaller. They only need to be big enough a human(oid) can fit inside.
  • In emergency cases most holograms can be shut off to match increased energy demands by weapons and shields. You only really need seating/bed and a (non-exploding) console screen.
  • Much of the specialized rooms like a bar, med bay, etc. won't be needed anymore as a holodeck can imitate all of them.

It irritated me a bit that a Discovery gets fancy floating warp nacelles but holodecks are... wait, does Discovery has a holodeck? I don't remember seeing one.

While I don't think it's possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against 'his' country.

The Suebian knot, a common hair style 2000 years ago. I'll take the broccoli over that.

But I'll like the viking hair styles more.

But I'm just a lazy fuck with a common ponytail because I don't want to visit a hairdresser every few months.

There exists a generation of people today that do not know that the save icon shows a floppy disk. They have no idea what a floppy disk even was.

I feel old now and will go back into my cave and weep quietly.

In university we were taught C programming. We started with simple things like loops and stuff. After a while the topic processes, threads & stuff came up and of course we were instructed to use that.

In the computer lab there where only thin clients so everything actually ran on the server.

A good friend of mine - not know what was about to happen - entered:

while (true) {
    fork();
}

Astoundingly it took a whole minute until the server froze. 🤣
That was the same server most of the school stuff ran on. So nearly everything went down. 😂
He got scolded by the sysadmin the next day but nothing serious happened.

Hahahahahaha. Doesn't he realize that the original Nazis would have refused to call him a human? They'd call him ape just because he's black.

Anyways don't travel to Europe with that shirt. You'll get beaten or jailed the moment you step out of the plane.

Hi!

I'm looking for books about mages, wizards and witches in which the magic itself is a central part of the story and not just there so the MC can slam a fireball into the face of his foes.
Maybe the magic has a will of its own or the MC is trying to 'restore' it from some kind of 'disease' or something else.

I don't know whats going on. This post currently has 44 comments.

I would like to to continue using the default web ui (the first one). I like it the most. But it's the one that somehow doesn't loading everything and I don't know why.

Is there a bug?
