Can't they just squirt some tire sealant and let it find the hole and fill it? How hard could it be?

If your significant other cheated on you, would you confront or attack the person they cheated with? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

No, I wouldn't. Some people can't help themselves from getting violent when they are angry. These people have poor self control and no restraint. I know everyone is different, and few are like myself. I have an extremely solid relationship with my wife. We've been together for nearly 30 years and trust and rely on each other completely. Finding out that she was cheating on me would be devastating emotionally and extremely confusing. It would call into doubt everything that I believe. Yet, I wouldn't feel any need to get violent with anyone. We would have a long talk about how to move forward, and the future of our relationship, and about trust, and the consequences of the infidelity. I wouldn't do anything rash or misguided. That's just how I am. Maybe that's why I'm in a solid healthy loving relationship. My advice to anyone pondering this is to communicate. Talk with your partner all the time, for hours, until you both are so well connected that you trust one another completely.

LX? Please. Platinum with heated seat subscription, infotainment subscription, data collection, and with a side of planned obsolescence.

One can buy a PS2 and a physical copy of the game aftermarket. Put some money in a fellow gamer's pocket.

Network, make connections, know someone, get your foot in the door and prove yourself. Call anyone you know in your industry, talk to them and ask if they know of any opportunities. Use your voice to talk to humans over the telephone or in person instead of sending DMs or emails.

Recommend me a distro? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am considering moving away from Ubuntu, but I haven't tried other distributions for years. I started on Linux Mint Cinnamon back in 2012, but switched to Ubuntu when I built my current PC in 2020 because I wanted more up-to-date packages. Now I am faced with needing to replace my SSD which gives me reason enough to install a new distro. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 32G of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, so I would need something that plays nicely with nvidia. I routinely use libreoffice, digikam, gimp, virtualbox, bambu studio, sublime text, filezilla, thunderbird, minecraft, steam, Open WebUI and Stable Diffusion (Automatic1111). I liked Ubuntu because it was familiar, fairly easy to customize, and everything was kept fairly well up to date. I am not a big fan of snap, and I would prefer a more logical and unified package management system. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for me. Thanks

The second dark age (lemmy.ml)
 

And thus began the second dark age. In the 21st century, the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally. Environmental stewardship gave way to rampant consumption and dirty industry. Women once again became subjugated to property and lost all human rights. Logic and reason was forgotten and replaced with conspiracy theories and superstition. Over the next few centuries tribalism and the decay of modern society played out against the backdrop of now unstoppable climate change, which was largely attributed to superstitious causes by small groups of devolved humans living in filth amongst the ruins of a once great civilization.

Help me with a rotating firesafe data backup (lemmy.ml)
 

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home.

My current plan is to get (2) Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID enclosures and (8) WD Red Pro NAS 16TB drives to fill them. The first would contain a full backup and be placed in the safe. The second would be attached to my machine and receive nightly backups. Periodically, I would rotate the enclosures, taking the one from the safe and swap it with the one connected to my machine.

Are there any problems with my plan that I am not thinking of? Are there better solutions?

Is anyone else keeping a rotating data backup in a safe? How is it working out for you?

I printed a Homer disappearing into the bushes sponge holder on my Ender 3 Pro. (lemmy.ml)
 

I downloaded a model but the Homer had several model flaws and the sponge base didn't fit my sponges so I designed my own. I basically kept only the spout.

I started with a PNG of Homer disappearing into the bushes. I cleaned it up a lot in gimp, then used adobe's PNG to SVG converter, which I'll say works very well. Brought that into inkscape and cleaned it up even more. Separated him into colors, pulled them into tinkercad at different heights, then printed him with 4 color changes.
