Darjeeling with lunch at work
  • I guarantee my method is way less scientific that it may sound :)

    The timer habit comes from me forgetting about my tea about 50% of the times and ending up with an undrinkable cup.

    As for weighting tea leaves... there's been a period when I felt particularly experimental and I was juggling some 8 different kinds of tea; I quickly got sick of remembering how many spoons of each kind I should use for my 300ml cup (density varies a lot depending on how much the leaves are rolled and how big they are) so I bought a 10€ "precision" scale and got into the habit of weighting my tea leaves.

    Nowadays I generally have just two kinds of tea around (plus sometimes a third one I'm trying out), so it's not like the scale is really needed... I do appreciate the consistency however (I get tea in rather big bags, and the leaves on the top are noticeably bigger than the ones towards the end of the bag), plus having one less thing to remember is always nice.

  • As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
  • If really bots are being used for this, will that also contribute to the traffic metric like a normal user would?

    no: bots generally use the API and, even if they went through the web ui, bot traffic doesn't generally trigger tracking (you could write a bot that does that, but it would be extra work)

  • Darjeeling with lunch at work
  • How much tea do you use and how long do you wait?

    I use around 1.5g tea per 100ml and make three infusions with Darjeeling (well, with most black teas really): 2mins, 3mins and "a very long time" (IDK if the third should be even considered tea... I leave it be and then drink the resulting beverage at room temp)

  • Uniformazione icone comunità?
  • Se fare molti loghi dovesse risultare complicato (specie in futuro per le nuove community), si potrebbe usare un piccolo overlay (che so, una bandierina italiana) come segno distintivo dell'istanza

  • cat vs sed vs awk
  • $ n=0; while read -r l; do n="$((n+1))" printf '    %d %s\n' "$n" "$l"; done < /etc/os-release

  • How can I make a HDD shut down automatically if it is not being used?
  • The hdparm -B and -S options should allow you to have your drive automatically spin-down when inactive, but they don't work on all dives (eg. my NAS has two shucked WD white that seem to just ignore those settings). If those fail, you could schedule a hdparm -y to spin down the drive periodically.

    Make sure to read man hdparm as there are some dangerous options.

    PS: there's also https://github.com/adelolmo/hd-idle - I've not tried it out yet, but it seems promising

  • Elon Musk ha annunciato che i termini "cis" e "cisgender" verranno considerati come insulti su Twitter
  • Per niente: chiamare qualcuno "negro" è sicuramente un insulto e, altrettanto sicuramente, avere la pelle scura non può essere considerata "una cosa brutta".

    Detto questo, concordo che Musk sia... una persona diversamente intelligente.

  • About downvotes being disabled in non-Beehaw communities

    I understand Beehaw's policy on downvotes: I've not thought of it long enough to say whether I agree or not (well, I guess I should also study some psychology and sociology to really form a meaningful opinion on that), but I have, in principle, no problems with it.

    However, in some communities that are not on Beehaw (and thus not necessarily agree with Beehaw policies) user downvotes work as kind-of a "soft" moderation and I feel like I could better contribute to those communities if I could downvote posts/comments that I find distasteful or inappropriate but that the mod won't remove (I know I can just reply with a reprimand, but that's a lot of work and doesn't reduce the reach of the inappropriate post/comment).

    Now here's my question: are downvotes being disabled on "foreign" communities because of some technical limitation or is the idea that Beehaw's users should not be able to downvote, regardless of how communities may work?

  • With the people I've talked about privacy the issue seems to be that they perceive google/apple/whoever as somewhat abstract entities: when I try asking if they would allow their local supermarket/corner shop (let alone the government!) to know that much about them, they immediately reply "no way!"... but then (even after the conversation) they are still ok with google tracking their location 24x7.

  • How to Delete Your Reddit Account and All Data Under GDPR/CCPA
  • Let me add to that:

    There are utilities (eg. andrewbanchich/shreddit) and even third-party websites that allow you to delete all your posts and comments (it's of course way too impractical to do so via the reddit website/app).

    IIUC it is not possible to delete all one's posts/comments via the API alone (you can only delete the last thousand or so - IDK if repeating the process helps), so with most (all?) of these utilities one can provide a GDPR export of all comments/posts and they will then be able to delete everything.

    You can request a GDPR export at www.reddit.com/settings/data-request (IDK if this works regardless of where you live), but it will take several days/weeks (I requested mine last week and I'm still waiting).

  • Il 37,5% dei tecnici informatici che riparano computer sbirciano tra files e dati personali e a volte se li copiano
  • Per molte riparazioni potrebbero semplicemente smontare l'hard disk davanti a te e lasciartelo, ma, certo, per le "riparazioni" software questo non è possibile...

    Una soluzione (linux - IDK per gli altri OS) sarebbe quella di cifrare la home directory e dare al tecnico solo la password di root (l'utente amministratore). In questo modo lui potrebbe accendere il pc e smaneggiare in giro senza accesso ai tuoi dati (ma se poi il problema è nella home directory siamo punto e d'accapo e comunque se è root può installare backdoor e simili... "A lock does no more than keep an honest man honest").

    OP, grazie per aver linkato invidious invece che youtube. Riesci a togliere la pubblicitià dalla descrizione facendo edit? (si, son sicuro che ce l'abbia messa lemmy e non tu)

  • [Supporto] Come aggiornare correttamente PostgreSQL con l'avanzamento di Debian?
  • Perché andare su archwiki invece che alla fonte? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/upgrading.html

    Personalmente non ho mai fatto l'upgrade di postgres (ho sempre preferito metter su un altro server e importarci i dati, in modo da poter testare le cose, avere meno downtime e lasciare le porte aperte per un rollback se qualcosa andasse storto), quindi non posso dire con assoluta certezza, ma... mi pare che pg_upgrade sia ben documentato e abbastanza semplice da usare? Al posto tuo farei comunque un backup prima di partire :)
