If your only concern is noise (and not saving power), then the easiest solution is to just sound-proof your case - install some foam pads or something to dampen the noise. Check out https://www.quietpc.com/acousticmaterials to get an idea of what’s out there and what you can use, but even simple random foam that you’d get in parcels would work to start off with.

I haven’t seen this in person so I can only speculate, but I bet they’ll only provide the sources as a tarball or something instead of a git repo, which will make it a PITA for anyone do actually do anything useful with it. I mean, you could potentially still build a full distro from it, but you wouldn’t be able to feasibly maintain it without the ability to do a sync and merge from upstream. So this way, Red Hat achieves their goal of being able to kill any spinoff distro, whilst still remaining compliant with the GPL.

Edit: If you moderate a large subreddit, do not link your users directly to lemmy.ml in your announcements

How/which URL should we link to then? Now is the best time to get users to switch to Lemmy so we need to make it as newbie friendly as possible. Already the application process has put off some people (I do like that bit though, keeps away the low effort folks). Thanks.

Ah, so you’re the culprit, “Dave Lemmy”. Tried registering the lemmy.nz domain a few of days ago as it was available, but unfortunately I put it off for the next day and bam, it was gone. :'(

archive.org, it was literally made for this. Doing it this way instead of saving locally also makes it available for all users.They have a “Wayback Machine” addon for Firefox and Chrome too, so it’s just a couple of clicks to save a page. Once the page is archived, you could bookmark it for easier access.

Could we also have a rule saying that downvotes should not be used for disagreements? Downvotes should be meant for off-topic, or factually incorrect content. Disagreements should be debated in the comments, respectfully of course.

Not by much. ChatGPT is great at language stuff and summarizing things, but not for facts, local info and real-time stuff. I use ChatGPT a lot for translating stuff and it’s much better than Google Translate, as you can provide context, which is key for translating Asian languages. It’s also not bad at explaining and summarizing well known facts, I asked if a bunch of basic photography related questions and it did a decent job of explaining the concepts. So it really depends on what I’m after.

You can make a super easy version if you’ve got an Instant Pot / pressure cooker - just chuck all the ingredients into a ceramic bowl (I do this instead of putting it in directly as it makes it easier to clean, plus, you can eat right off the bowl when it’s done).

To elaborate, I rinse the rice and lentils together (approx 1:1 ratio but I prefer a bit more lentils than rice, for more protein and a creamier texture), add twice the amount of water, then chuck in veggies (at its very basic just onions and tomatoes; optionally ginger, garlic and chillies), plus spices and seasonings (at its very basic I’d just add turmeric and salt; for more variety I’d add cumin, coriander powder and a pinch of asafoetida -> this is a game changer btw). Close the lid and let it cook for about 15 minutes and then rest for 5-10 mins. Take out the bowl, adjust the water consistency if necessary, garnish with fresh coriander and you’re done. Optionally serve with microwaved or roasted papadoms on the side.

Fast, easy, fuss free and healthy too.

Darktable is awesome. People rave on about Lightroom like it’s irreplaceable, but Darktable exists and is a legit alternative.

I just use Tachij2k (Android app), running under Waydroid. It does both downloads and reading, but you could use it just for downloads if you prefer a separate reader.
