I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

A combination of SearXNG and Stract, for the most part. They're definitely not perfect (yet), but they mostly get the job done! And I think they both have a lot of cool filters and refinement settings that I haven't even taking advantage of so far.

For niche stuff it seems like a lot of hyper targeted search engines are popping up, like Sepia Search for PeerTube.

As I vaguely understand it, human milk lacks some specific kinda proteins required to form milk cheese? There's always a way somehow though

MxRemy , (edited )

Omg I'm sorry, operating on very little sleep here lol. You can't make CHEESE from human milk, is what I meant...

EDIT: Googled it, apparently human milk has too little protein in general, and specifically not enough casein.

Trying to find a song about being wedgied

When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song...

MxRemy ,

I know it's not this, I know... but is it this?

MxRemy ,

Gotta link it like this:

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

My library has a lendable "Ultimate Screwdriver Kit" that has every bit size and type I've ever heard of, security Torx, pentalobe, oval, gamebit, spanner, etc etc. Also a bunch of different styles of bit holder, and a bunch of attachments like angle adapters, depth setters, torque limiters, etc. Only tangentially relevant I guess... but if you run into a problem like this again, check your local library to potentially avoid having to buy obscure bits online!

MxRemy ,

Coconut and honey? Oh no, that one TikTok lady is gonna be so sad...

MxRemy ,

I realllyyyy like Jerboa, but the only thing i have to compare it to is the web interface. I've never tried the other apps.

MxRemy ,

I've never thought about it until just now, but... honestly I don't really feel like I've had much support? Mostly just my boyfriend, who holds me when I'm sobbing from dysphoria. That's like super important to me but it's also all he can really do

MxRemy ,

Seconding this rec, seems like a good fit

MxRemy ,

Did you just call Pennsylvania the Midwest? Did I just this minute find out, right now, from you, dear internet stranger... that I've spent my entire life in the Midwest?? I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a minute... I'm gonna go get a hoagie

MxRemy ,

Whoaa, awesome!!

MxRemy ,

Tumblr! I only joined shortly before all the wildly terrible business decisions killed it lol. Great memes from there would get cross-posted to my various platforms often enough for me to want to go, but I procrastinated until it was almosssttt too late...

Now we got a fediverse version though 😈

MxRemy , (edited )

I use it fairly frequently and enjoy it! My instance is Pxlmo but it hardly matters, federation doing its thing and all. The official app is quite buggy atm, but not unusably so, and it's fun to watch the updates slowly improve things. I do follow a lot of people who are actually on mastodon but only ones who mostly post pictures anyway, so they fit better in my pixelfed feed.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention! I also kinda use it as image hosting for other apps! Only for pictures worth posting though, not trying to clutter it up. All my picture posts on Lemmy are stored there. If you put the direct link to the pic in the Lemmy image field, it shows up just as if you'd uploaded it directly to the post, no click-through necessary.

MxRemy ,

Interesting, maybe it didn't used to work! It does have to be the direct link to the image, if that helps. Like, "right click on image, open in new tab", then use that link? The link to the post itself doesn't do it.

MxRemy ,

I would really like to mess around with self-hosting someday, but I live in a residential area and those sort of shenanigans are explicitly banned by my ISP. Is there anything someone in that position can do?

MxRemy ,

I was afraid that might be the case... Definitely pretty messed up, but with the state of ISPs around here it's not surprising either. This guide is super awesome though, I'll use it if I ever get a chance to!

MxRemy ,

I've heard of options to get around the lack of static IP, but will something like this also keep my ISP off my back about hosting? If so I'm onboard!

MxRemy ,

That's what I've been wondering, like can I just do it anyway? I have Verizon FiOS gigabit, for reference. If they really just don't care then I don't mind violating TOS at all, but I wasn't sure if they do or not

MxRemy ,

Pennsylvania, U.S.A. I hear it's a fairly common policy here but does vary from provider to provider. As I understand it, most areas in the U.S. have at most 2 ISP companies to choose from, and many only have 1. So they can kinda set whatever BS policies they want.

MxRemy ,

Doing the lord’s work 🫡

MxRemy ,

This is a show and not a movie, but definitely The Magicians. The show is pretty incredible, and more or less abandons everything wrong with the original. The books mostly spend way too many pages following all the MC’s petty grievances, and he’s like a massive incel.

MxRemy ,

Yessss, that’s exactly how I felt! I only even forced myself to finish it so I’d feel qualified to write a terrible review lol

MxRemy ,

I think this problem kinda carries over from Reddit too. There was more of everybody there of course, just because it was larger, but I think the demographics broke down similarly? On the other hand, I think Tumblr leaned the opposite direction, so it would be neat to see if that followed through on Wafrn (fediverse Tumblr-esque platform).

No idea what to actually do about it though, unfortunately… 😭

As an example of the problem, no one in my entire social circle has any hope of ever owning property, and many of us are just barely skirting homelessness. Unfortunately this is extremely common in the same world where some people own multiple homes. If you found yourself in that situation, I imagine the best course of action depends on where you live, but a good choice might be to convert your property into a non-equity low-income housing cooperative. There are lots of other options though, the main thing is just to get it into the hands of people who need it.

MxRemy ,

Omg soooo manyyyyyy. I dunno how to count them in-app but it’s gotta be at least a hundred.

MxRemy ,

chooses 1, 3, and 9

I am the sphinx that baps in the night!

MxRemy ,

Zeno’s Paradox, even though it’s pretty much resolved. If you fire an arrow at an apple, before it can get all the way there, it must get halfway there. But before it can get halfway there, it’s gotta get a quarter of the way there. But before it can get a fourth of the way, it’s gotta get an eighth… etc, etc. The arrow never runs out of new subdivisions it must cross. Therefore motion is actually impossible QED lol.

Obviously motion is possible, but it’s neat to see what ways people intuitively try to counter this, because it’s not super obvious. The tortoise race one is better but seemed more tedious to try and get across.

MxRemy ,

Whoaaaa, this looks AMAZING! You made the masa?? 😍

MxRemy ,

I don’t think I’d want to be cis. Being part of a marginalized group, with all the pain that entails, has made me a more empathetic person. I would like to pass for cis at least a little better though. Partly for survival reasons, but also there’s definitely some kinda internalized transphobia or something mixed in there that I should work on.

MxRemy ,

Like PeachMan said, if you try to lay down the filament and then place the tile, it’ll harden too fast for that to work. You can use a 3d pen to attach two things along the seam where the two things are touching though, I’ve done that.

MxRemy ,

I don’t think I’ve ever had a job with weekends off. Or even any other specific days consistently off from one week to the next, more generally. It does sound nice though, I think I’d like that.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

MxRemy ,

All the people saying exercise… I swear that has to vary across people. I went to the gym thrice a week for two years and hated every gd second of it.

MxRemy ,

Wish granted. Because the personal is political, in some sense everyone is a politician, so it affects everyone. With no one left standing that has any shred of electability, we delegate the role of politician to various LLM chatbots. They run everything into the ground in fairly short order, but on the bright side hijinks aplenty ensue and it’s pretty amusing to watch.

MxRemy ,

I think so? Libraries certainly existed, so there’s that. Workshops existed, even if they were less industrialized/more artisanal. The only novelty might be that the two should be in the same place.

Then again, libraries of old apparently were used for a lot more than just books/scrolls, and trade guilds must have needed written materials often enough… Maybe the modern makerspace is a reinvention of an old concept? I have no idea.

MxRemy ,

Fill me in please, I beg of you!

MxRemy ,

Ohhhhh… ty!

MxRemy ,

I’ve just had a ton of really friendly and amusing interactions with people here, that’s my favorite thing. Not sure what feature Lemmy has that makes that happen though.

MxRemy ,

Parts for a Wimshurst Electrostatic Generator! You’d think it’d just be for fun or something, but we actually need one for supplying the charge on a electrospinning machine lol

MxRemy ,

I buy it if I can find it on a platform where the money is actually going to the musician. Then, I upload it in CD quality FLAC format to FunkWhale, and also add it to the SD card in my DAC (a Shanling Q1). Where it’s convenient I listen on the DAC, where it’s not I stream through FunkWhale.

MxRemy ,

As in, mail the empty spool and they send it back filled? Or as in, they send it unspooled and you spool it up yourself? If it’s the latter, that’s what I do! I get my refills of PHA unspooled in the mail from a Canadian company, Filaments.ca. They probably do the same with PLA too.

MxRemy ,

I seem to have the opposite reaction, I loathe the Charmin bears more than nearly any other ad in recent memory.

MxRemy ,

cnckitchen did a pretty good comparison of different gitd filaments. There’s a video on their channel too.

I don’t remember if the comparison covered this, but I would expect PETg to work better than PLA for gitd stuff because it’s inherently more transparent, right?

MxRemy ,

Ohhh that makes sense! The opaque material acts kind of like a diffuser?

[Fiction Prompt] Solarpunk Factions

We have done it. We are there. A sustainable world. An abundant, renewable clean energy. A recovering ecosystem and a biodiversity that we can now help improve instead of merely defend. Changes happened. Changes in politics, in tech, in culture. We waste less, we consider the long term impact of our decisions, we consider...

MxRemy ,
  • Neo-Minimalists want to gene edit humanity into forms that are inherently less resource intensive. They’re into shrinking us all, or making us able to photosynthesize.
MxRemy ,

Oh no… Literally everyone I know feels this way. That’s probably not a great sign lol
