It's intended for whales and for the 65 crew members to split. But I can't imagine they sell many.

I think most eth-based transactions happen on different layers and then get settled on the main layer periodically. Same with Bitcoin, come to think of it. TPS doesn't seem like a particularly useful number these days.

 

Many Minnesota based corporations have resumed donating to election deniers, thinking we wouldn't notice.

Another web developer here, that is how the California and European rules are interpreted. If we're acting in good faith we do not store anything.

Maybe you can find a way to argue user settings and session cookies don't require consent, but I am not a lawyer and I err on the side that doesn't put me out of business.

I wish plex would bring back plugin support. If my podcasts and audiobooks could live there easily I'd open their app a lot more. Maybe watch some of those old TV and movies they're so excited about.

Is anyone else having issues copying this image? I can't open it directly, it's weird.

Well, the UK wants to negotiate more. The legal action has been paused.

Every paragraph of that article got less and less certain about the results. Someday I'd love to be able to trust the headline.

I wrote a review about a counterfeit item I received. They never approved that one. I haven't bought cologne from them since.

I don't remember what I paid for Reddit Is fun Gold, but it was worth it. If a Lemmy client comes around, I'll buy that one too. Thanks for bringing Reddit to phones while they let you, TalkLittle. o7

 
 
 
 

TLDR: 3 people working together can gatekeep content on the "active" and "hot" feeds on smaller servers/communities.

After some playing around, I noticed posts disappear after reaching a threshold. A quick search later and I'm in the Lemmy docs reading about how this all works.

In plain English, any three people working together (or one person with three accounts) can stop posts from appearing on the default feed. Once a post reaches -2 it will only appear to people who browse "new." Edit: Of course, it reappears after it climbs above -2, but it's a race against the clock.

As a smaller server, we're vulnerable to this. But we also have some extra mitigations - namely, @seahorse@midwest.social has to approve everyone who joins, and that might weed out bad actors.

So what can you do? Upvote content liberally, downvote sparingly.

A few hundred hours in and it's been great. I'll probably do some deep maintenance on it this fall, just to be safe.

I never did the math that far down. There aren't many weeks where I needed to run it every day. The lower your draw the better has been my rule of thumb.

I have a couple jackery batteries that I keep topped off in addition to my solar system. The jackery stuff has it's own solar panels that I can run through a window in fair weather. That stuff, $/kWh, is the ay cheaper. But of course it has a huge up front investment.

Whatever I happen to have extra of. The land where I use it has some propane heaters, and I try to keep 5 gallons of gas on hand.

This year was mostly gas, a 5 gallon tank lasted about a week running 4-8 hours a day, averaging 10 amps or so.

 

I use this guy to supplement my solar panels in the winter. It does 30a, I haven't had an issue running the microwave and ac off it simultaneously. I just finished my second year with it, so far it's just needed an oil change.

 

This came from the This is Certainly a Cryptid of Some Kind Facebook community.

 

I'm driving an RV from Colorado on I70 soon. I've had Joe's before, but it was a bit of a trick getting my vehicle in and out of Kansas City.

So, do you know of any roadside BBQ worth trying? Bonus points if there's a campground nearby.
