Sharp on one side but not the other? That's likely a burr.
Burrs are sharp, until they rollover or break off.
Usually you'd get rid of it by alternating passes into the knife with lighter pressure, moving to higher grits.
Although, it might be difficult or awkward to control the direction and pressure with a power tool.
Another thing with some sharpening gizmos is not including the right grits.
Something Iike a 200 grit, then skipping to a 1000 grit can make weird results that kinda feel sharp enough at first, but with a toothier edge where the higher grit cannot really do its job except at the outermost superficial surface and not in the deeper portions left by the low grit.
Gameplay patents are bullshit.
Right? It has been in free fall for a while now.
Thing is you can with a site ban with content removal.. but not by removing individual content

It's in lemmy code since 0.19.5, kinda, but only triggers local community bans after a local site ban.
There's plenty of weird (to me) federation behavior.
Mostly... an instance admin cannot remove a comment from a local user if it's on a remote community. I mean... you can, but it doesn't federate to the remote community.
There's a few other things that are counterintuitive
Here's a video of a mammography procedure done on a man which should at least show the compression process for smaller breasts.
Edit the sudoers file.
## user is allowed to execute halt and reboot
whateverusername ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff
I too would break up with someone sending all my comms to corporate AI.
Starting with 0.19.5, site bans also automatically create community bans from that instance's local communities.
I can assure you that some people climb without being anywhere close to what I'd call "very careful".
To me, part of being careful includes not trusting any random unknown person or their gear.
It includes double-checking the people I trust and requiring them to double-check me.
Don't get me wrong, I've met plenty of great people who were careful, safe climbers.
I've also met a few climbers of a... weird kind, like it's almost a caricature, but these people exist.
Climbers who could barely tie a knot, climbers that were stoned af, climbers that kept using carabiners or rope that I wouldn't even trust to tie their dog.
Also: Even careful people make mistakes.
In mid-July, tenants say they were told to leave the building immediately, with only the possessions they could get out of their rooms within the day. Several said they were offered money to leave, and that they were intimidated by the workers who allegedly broke and threw away tenants’ property.
WTF

alien.top bots
English message:
As some of you may have noticed, there's an instance with 1.1M bots reposting reddit posts and comments accross communities in several other instances.
I expect there are multiple valid opinions on the subject and this thread is meant to get a feeling of everyone's opinion on the situation.
You might also want to read lemmy.ca's discussion on that here which is a pretty decent thread about the subject.
Things that I think need to be pointed out:
- alien.top currently has 1.1M bots, only 6 of those are weekly users logging in.
- together they've made 1.59M comments accross a multitude of communities in other instances.
- That project claims to be trying to get reddit users to switch to lemmy.
- They have a portal to allow reddit users to claim and take over their bot persona.
- alien.top has a single local community, the bots all post on different instances with copies of different subreddits.
I don't have an exhaustive list of such communities, I haven't found an official one. I'll post a fewfrom my personal blocklist in a comment below.
And a note on the upcoming 0.19 release:
- the new user-level instance block feature will block all the communities of the blocked instances, but will not block these users' posts or comments if they are done on another instance's community.
My opinion isn't any more valid then anyone else's so I'll put it in a comment below.
Our users' input is welcomed.
What do you, dear users of sh.itjust.works, think about federation with them?
Thanks

Message français:
Comme certains d'entre vous l'ont peut-être remarqué, il y a une instance peuplée de 1,1M de bots qui copient ees posts et commentaires Reddit dans plein de communautés sur plusieurs autres instances.
Il y a plusieurs opinions sur le sujet et ce fil de discussion vise à prendre le pouls de l'opinion générale sur la situation.
Je vous suggères de lire la discussion chez lemmy.ca à ce sujet ici, discussion intéressante.
Quelques points qui, selon moi, doivent être soulignés :
- alien.top compte actuellement 1,1 million de robots, dont seulement 6 sont des utilisateurs hebdomadaires qui se login.
- collectivement, ils ont déjà fait 1,59 million de commentaires dans une multitude de communautés dans différentes instances.
- Ce projet proclame essayer de convertir des utilisateurs de Reddit à passer à Lemmy.
- Il existe un portail pour permettre aux utilisateurs de Reddit de prendre contrôle de leur version bot.
- alien.top a une seule communauté locale, les bots publient tous sur différentes instances, des copies de différents subreddits.
Je n'ai pas de liste exhaustive de ces communautés, à première vue, je n'en trouve pas une liste officielle. Je mettrai dans un commentaire ci-dessous quelques communautés que j'ai bloqué au niveau personnel.
Pour finir, une note sur la version 0.19 de lemmy qui s'en vient :
- La nouvelle fonctionnalité pour bloquer une instance au niveau d'un uutilisateur bloquera toutes les communautés d'une instance bloquée, mais ne bloquera pas les publications ou les commentaires de ces utilisateurs s'ils sont publiés dans une communauté d'une autre instance.
Mon opinion n'est pas meilleur qu'une autre et je mettrai plutôt dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Les commentaires de nos utilisateurs sont les bienvenus.
Que pensez-vous, cher utilisateurs de sh.itjust.works de la fédération avec eux?
Merci

Annonce en français:
Des ajouts ont récemment été faits à la liste d'instances bloquées.

English message:
We've recently added a few instances to the block list.
We usually made a discussion and vote in [email protected], but this latest batch was a bunch of instances confirmed to be hosting CSAM, CP, pedo and/or loli content. Since these are illegal, they've been removed without Agora threads.
At any time, you can see the current list of blocked instances here, all the way down in the Blocked Instances section.
Thanks

Lemmy-wide gore spam this morning / spam de ce matin
Message en Français:
Comme certains ont pu constaté, il y a eu beaucoup de spam de contenu gore ce matin a travers une panoplie de communautés.
L'utilisateur en question a été banni localement et leur contenu effacé. Ils ne sont pas encore bannis sur leur instance mère, mais vous ne devriez plus tomber dessus tant que vous naviguez avec votre compte sh.itjust.works.
Désolé pour ceux qui ont eu à subir cette merde et merci à tous ceux qui l'ont signalé. N'hésitez pas à signaler ce genre de chose quand ça arrive, soit via le petit drapeau (report), ou sur le chat matrix.
Pour balancer le gore, voici un chat qui dort:
Miaou
English message:
As some of you may have had the displeasure to see, there was a user spamming links to gore content earlier today accross several unrelated communities.
They've since been banned locally and their content removed. While they have yet to be banned on their home instance, you shouldn't be exposed to their content as long as you browse from here your sh.itjust.works account.
Thanks to everyone for reporting it, feel free to reach out either through the flag report icon or the matrix chat whenever something like that happens again.
Here's a cat to balance out the gore:

Camping knife: khukuri
This one's been with me for 11 years now and it will likely be sharp long after I'm not.
Here, I had just gone through a bunch of stuff for a big batch of chili. The acidic juices from the tomatoes etched it quickly, but any sort of patina never stays after splitting a few logs.
It's big and heavy, but it's my goto around the yard and car camping.
This is my most used big knife, what's yours?
