This video has a great comparison of different locking nut systems and how they hold up against vibration:

Breasts are often measured in cups

I’m just grateful to have a place to discuss niche topics where there’s a reasonable balance of power between users, mods, and admins.

Federation means no more rug pulling after years of building open source apps to access proprietary services.

Proper ‘competition’ between instance owners means nobody can degrade the quality of experience for a quick buck.

Thank you for your part in building a better alternative!

Wouldn’t this be quite slow to transmit messages? When you send email between federated servers your mail goes in a queue on your server to be sent and depending on the connection speed and how busy it is you could easily wait 5 minutes before it’s delivered at the other end. Not that the messages caused by this app would be big enough to slow things down a lot, but if the server you are using is also being used to send normal emails with large attachments then you could end up waiting a while.

Yeah and we obviously have those here although you could just make them in any old jar and keep them in the fridge. The thing that seems to be quite different in America to the UK is the whole pressure canning scene. We do have similar food but it’s all in tins, nobody really makes it themselves and I’m not even sure where you’d get hold of a pressure canner, you’d probably have to import it.

I’m in a rural area, it’s really not a thing! Especially not pressure canning with ball jars. People do make pickles and chutneys etc but those are preserved with vinegar and we use kilner jars with a rubber seal to store them. I’ve never once met anyone who has pressure canned vegetables.

Totally get that. Much nicer to know you’re not eating too much processed crap.

Jealous of the peaches!

moving to the country, I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches

I’ve always been interested in the idea of canning, but it’s not really a thing in the UK. I know that veg is cheaper and gas is more expensive here than in America but still, surely it costs so much money to can things that you can’t be saving much? Is it only worth it if the produce was in season and therefore really cheap?

Huh, TIL!

I’ve never seen/heard anyone call it a chaise lounge in the UK. Or maybe I’ve seen it written like that and just assumed it was autocorrect.

I think it was a joke? Difficult to tell on the internet!

Does it have a “rage shake” bug report feature?

Moot point!

Apologies if you’re asking for something different but I recently discovered https://annas-archive.org/ which is great for books.

Love how openly you guys communicate about the management of LW. It’s interesting for anyone with an interest in self hosting things to see how you’ve scaled up. Keep up the good work!

Did you not switch to Nextcloud a while back?

You can’t really say it’s “their government” when the Palestinians in Gaza haven’t had free and fair elections in years. Hamas has fucked the civilians in both Israel and Gaza. Civilians of either country who don’t support the aggressive actions of “their side” (countinued settlement, terrorism) shouldn’t be suffering as a result.

It used to be quite a fun place, back before 2016… then it got flooded with extreme right wing people who didn’t stick to their containment boards.

Boards like /g/ (technology) had some good information.

It would be interesting to see post count excluding bots, to see if actual user post numbers are increasing

Ah thanks, I’ve seen it a few times but thought it was a bug. Why are people like this!

All of your comments have “banned” next to them for me (logged in via lemmy.world using Liftoff) - any idea why?

I assume you’re not actually banned…?
