Sascamooch @lemmy.sascamooch.com I'm Sascamooch, and this is my Lemmy instance.
The live action Super Mario Bros movie.
I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.
55 inch 4K Scepter TV + Saiyin soundbar and subwoofer. I bought this setup about a month ago for less than $400 and it's been pretty good so far
When it comes to services only I or my friends will use, I use ZeroTier. It makes an encrypted tunnel between you and your server and allows you to connect without having to open ports on your router. I self host my ZeroTier network controller, allowing me to have unlimited devices on my networks.
First thing that comes to mind is RocketJump's video Milk Man: World's Worst Superhero. Essentially, his power is drinking and regurgitating milk. While this sounds lame, he actually manages to disarm and incapacitate the robber, fly, and give the distressed citizen a nice, refreshing beverage. Sounds pretty useful to me.
Now, only one question remains: Got Milk?
Your answer to the Trolley Problem and why?
> Trolley Problem: 5 people are tied to train tracks and are about to be hit by a trolley. Do you allow it to happen, or do you pull the lever, causing the trolley to hit just one person instead of the five?
Let's assume you don't have enough time to go untie the victims but DO have enough time to analyze the situation and react. I'd probably pull the lever because, although the death of the one victim is unfortunate, I would be saving five lives in the process. In a perfect world, you'd be able to save all six victims, but pulling the lever seems like the lesser of two evils.
Then I would go kick the ass of whoever's going around tying people to train tracks.
I used to dual boot Linux & Windows, but these days, gaming on Linux works just fine. Granted, I don't play any hardcore multiplayer games that might have iffy anticheat or anything, but even modern games work with little to no issue.
Speech recognition. Being able to tell your computer what to do, and it actually does it, just feels like something straight out of SciFi. It is a shame that Alexa, Google Assistant, etc. ended up being such privacy nightmares, but hopefully projects like Rhasspy can help change that.
I'd like to use rootless podman, but since I include zerotier in my containers, they need access to the tunnel device and net_admin, so rootless isn't an option right now.
Podman-compose works for me. I'd like to learn how to use Ansible and Kubernetes, but right now, it's just my Lemmy VPS and my Raspberry Pi 4, so I don't have much need for automation at the moment. Maybe some day.
Oh, thanks for explaining. That ending was pretty confusing, but I think I understand it now.
Welp, guess I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day. Thanks for the suggestion.
Haha, pretty much. The only difference is with Absurdle, you'll eventually get it right.
What is your stance on legalizing dank memes?
Who will win the 2024 US Presidential Election? WRONG ANSWERS ONLY!
I know politics can be a very contentious topic, so why don't we try and lighten the mood a bit?
Yeah, time stopping is a good choice, too. If we're going to use it for long periods (like for long vacations, for example), that does raise the question: do you still age while time is stopped, or does your ability pause aging, too?
If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
For me, it'd probably be teleportation. The possibilities with teleportation are basically limitless.
- Building's on fire? Teleport in, grab the people inside, and teleport out. Easy.
- Getting your butt kicked by a supervillain? Teleport to a gun shop, grab some weapons, and teleport back for round 2.
- Alternatively, just grab your opponent, teleport in front of a moving train or something, let go of your opponent, and teleport away.
- Need to defuse a bomb? No need! Just teleport the bomb to the middle of the desert. Never worry about cutting the wrong wire again!
- Want to go to a Taylor Swift concert, but you overslept? You guessed it: just teleport! You don't even need to buy a ticket!
Admittedly, stopping time is another very useful power, but teleportation is just really hard to beat. What say you?
Getting started with Lemmy
If you are reading this, let me be the first to welcome you to the exciting world of Lemmy! Lemmy has quite a few differences from Reddit (or most other traditional websites), and it might be a bit confusing when you're first getting started. If you're feeling lost, read on!
What is Lemmy?
Essentially, Lemmy is free and open source software that you can install on a server to create a "Lemmy instance". This post lives on lemmy.sascamooch.com, for example. Instances can have their own users, posts, and communities (aka subreddits).
Here's the neat part: users on one instance can interact with users and content from another. For example, users on lemmy.sascamooch.com can post memes on lemmy.ml, create communities on beehaw.org, have discussions with users on lemmy.world, and so on.
Getting Started
Join an Instance
To get started, make an account on a Lemmy instance. The most popular instances right now are lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. However, due to ongoing Reddit drama, these instances are experiencing a huge wave of new users. Joining a less crowded instance is recommended (remember, you can still interact with users and communities on these other instances).
To find an instance, please refer to https://join-lemmy.org/instances
> Note: lemmy.sascamooch.com is currently invite-only. This might change in the future, but we are still getting our sea legs. Please bear with us.
Subscribing to Communities
Subscribing to communities that live on the same instance as you is pretty easy: it's not much different than subscribing to a subreddit. Subscribing to communities on other instances, however, is a little bit trickier. This is, admittedly, something Lemmy could improve upon in the future, but for now, here are some tips.
- Go to https://browse.feddit.de/ and search for communities you might be interested in.
- This site might not have less popular communities from less popular instances, but this should help get you started.
- When you find a community you want to subscribe to, click on the link (e.g. https://beehaw.org/c/programming)
- on lemmy.sascamooch.com (or whatever instance you're using), go into the search bar. In the search bar, type in the community in the form of [email protected].
- In our example, we'd type [email protected] into the search bar.
- Click the search button. If your instance has seen that community before, it will pop up in the results. If not, you might be see "No Results". In that case, click on "Communities" at the top, click "All", and then see if your community is listed.
- Subscribe to the community.
Again, I'm aware this is a bit convoluted, but things should hopefully get streamlined in the future. Lemmy is still relatively new and experiencing unprecedented growth due to the Reddit API drama, so be patient.
Getting Help
