    • If you're the kind of person to keep yourself busy all day, then when you're trying to go to sleep might be the first time all day you've allowed your mind to wander! You need to find some other time in the day to allow yourself to daydream. Some tips are to not read anything while in the bathroom or turn the radio off in your car if you have a commute. Maybe even schedule some time to sit and think about things if you can.
    • Only use your bed for sleep and sex. Reading, eating, browsing on your phone, watching TV, or any other activity should be done elsewhere. This way you train yourself that it's sleeptime when you're in bed.
    • This is probably something that can't be done if you have a rotating shift, but go to sleep on a regular schedule. Go to sleep at the same time every day. Staying up late should a rare occurrence. Your body will become tired at the same time each day and it's much easier to fall asleep when you keep a schedule.
  • Damn I didn't know Solutech went out of business. I like(d) their filament and still have a couple spools left.

  • The link mentions that it is only ran as part of a debian or RPM package build. Not to mention that on Arch sshd is not linked against liblzma anyways.

  • I came to the harsh reality and conclusion that when it comes to platform maturity and stability, Kbin is years behind thanks to constant errors across the website sometimes, bugs and other instabilities, this also lead me to reconsider supporting and coming back to Lemmy

    I started running my own personal kbin instance in June and had to face that realization a few months in. I just recently (~2 weeks ago) took it down and started up a lemmy server instead. It's something I should have done months ago because it requires an order of magnitude more resources to run kbin compared to lemmy. I guess it was too appealing to have both mastodon and lemmy in one place, but neither of those things worked well enough to be worth the trouble.

    At any rate, your thread on reddit about kbin was one of the reasons I ventured out into the fediverse as well as one of the reasons I chose to run kbin over lemmy. Thanks for the time and effort you put into doing all that!

  • Install pacman-contrib, this gives you access to pacdiff which goes through all your pacnew files allowing you to see diffs of the changes and giving you different options to deal with them.

    The Wikimedia Foundation has joined the fediverse by setting up their own Mastodon server!

    Lemmy thinks everything Fedia.io users post is from two hours in the future

  • Yup, it's the timezone. I ran into this problem on https://feed.timeloop.tv/comment/5916
    There's an open PR about this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3496

    For now, the only way to fix this is for Fedia to set their timezone to UTC both for the system and the postgresql database.

  • pcpartpicker is a fantastic resource for putting together a new build.

    As far as lemmy communities go, there's also !buildapc and !buildapc

  • Kbin allows user-level instance blocking, so that functionality should be feasible to implement in lemmy eventually.

  • There's some decent explanations in this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1097946

  • I made a post yesterday about this: https://lemmy.world/post/1065037

    The TLDR is that your apps are not showing the real rotation of the image. Get an image editor app to fix them before submitting.

  • One more try. I sure hope you don't have notifications enabled for all replies...
    Edit: well now I'm stumped

  • UTC now. Am I still the ghost of federation's past?
    Edit: seems so?

  • I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!

    It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.

  • @danQuix0te sorry, I shouldn't have deleted my comment. Still trying to get the time thing sorted out.

  • I'm taking this opportunity to test my timezone config

    YSK: Your phone's camera and gallery apps may be lying to you about the rotation of your pictures. Bonus YSK: Your pictures could be doxxing you

    Why YSK: There's been many image posts to the fediverse that have incorrect rotations and this info should help you to prevent that situation for your own posts.

    Your phone's camera app will add some metadata to the pictures you take called Exif data.
    Most apps will simply add metadata that asks for the image to be rotated rather than actually rotating the image so that the picture-taking experience seems smoother/faster. This metadata is usually striped out by most websites when you submit them which leaves the image in the original rotation rather than the one you might have expected.

    Why is this metadata removed by websites? The GPS location of where you took the picture can be included in that data as well as other sensitive info such as the date/time and the unique ID for your device. This data is often removed from the images to prevent leaking that info but not all sites will do this so it's good to make a habit of purging that info your
