DarkSirrush , to Microblog Memes in Fair question

No, you take from the bucket of seeds the farmer keeps stocked, and spend a bit of time getting it growing - the farmer occasionally pops by to correct your setup, but for the most part it dries and pops itself for you.

If you want good flavors you have to season it yourself though.

DarkSirrush , to memes in Don't let the cosplayers fool you

As a west coaster, quebecois is unrefined and coarse.

DarkSirrush , to Asklemmy in What is your favorite kid friendly book made just for traumatizing children?

A series of unfortunate events was pretty bad for me.

My grandpa kept buying them, and i read them because I didn't know how to not reqd a book given to me, but they definitely taught me how to say no to a gift.

DarkSirrush , to Selfhosted in Jellyfin, Caddy, and Cloudflare Real IP

Authelia has a page on cloudflare, does this help at all? Note that I use traefik as my reverse proxy and am not using any of cloudflares advanced features.

DarkSirrush , to Selfhosted in Self-hosted diary

WordPress could probably do it, you don't have to give it public access.

DarkSirrush , to Selfhosted in Secure portal between Internet and internal services

You can try setting up a VPN, eg headscale/tailscale with your home server being an exit node, and then just set up your questionable services on a domain that only resolves locally - and then you don't need to use authentik for authorisation to those services.

This is what I have been trying recently, and seems to work well.

DarkSirrush , to Animation in Today (2024-05-15) is Rooster Teeth's final day of operation.

Overexpansion, nepotism, the heavy drinking subsidised by the company, and as the other response mentioned, algorithmic changes to the platforms they used.

2014 is around when I had to stop trying to consume all their content, because they started churning out 4-12 hours per day (or so it felt).

They also hosted all their content themselves, and a fair amount or their content was only available on their website - and I don't think that the First memberships covered the whole hosting expense.

DarkSirrush , to Technology in Gabe Newell, the Man Behind Steam, Is Working on a Brain-Computer Interface

Neurolink has been used on 1 disabled person, and it was "working" for about 2 weeks before it was announced there are "problems" with the connection to the brain.

Oh, and it has killed a bunch of monkeys.

DarkSirrush , to Blåhaj in How do you hold your haj?

Don't currently own one, but I assume like this:

DarkSirrush , to cats in Could you post a photo of your cat and tell me what makes them so special?

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/d7faa711-95f2-49d2-954b-a59488de5b21.jpeg
She stepped on an empty food bowl this morning and spooked herself so bad she didn't eat breakfast for 20 minutes.

That's a kind of special right?

DarkSirrush , to Canada in Less than half of Canadians say they will buy an electric vehicle as their next car: survey

Gas engines needing to be plugged in or they don't start isn't relevant to why I can't trust an EV in the winter, it's the 25% loss of range at -8°C, and not wanting to get a hotel and stay somewhere overnight so that I may have the privilege of spending up to $0.41 per minute to charge my car overnight so that I can make it home in winter, vs my current hybrid, where it takes 5 minutes total to stop at a gas station to top up my fuel.

And actually, the Government of Canada states that most consumer heat pumps tend to need supplemental heat around -15°C to -25°C, with only the most expensive "cold weather" variants managing anything colder.

See screenshot as I can't hyperlink to the exact line in question stating that.

DarkSirrush , to Canada in Less than half of Canadians say they will buy an electric vehicle as their next car: survey

...you are aware that battery efficiency drops drastically in cold weather right?

That doesn't magically get fixed by preheating the car, the batteries are not well insulated enough to stay at optimal running temperature at -30°C while going 100km/h, even if they have a dedicated heat pump, as heat pumps also lose efficiency below -20°C or so.

DarkSirrush , to Canada in Less than half of Canadians say they will buy an electric vehicle as their next car: survey

I own my home and am as happy as I can be at my current job, why would I decide to move 350km away where I would have a rent/mortgage, need to find new work for my spouse and I, and live in a city that literally reeks of sewage constantly?

As for "planning better", cold snaps can happen at any time from late October to early April around here, and if one happens when I plan to do some shopping for necessities where its 20%+ cheaper? Oh well, at least the roads will be more likely to be clear.

DarkSirrush , to Canada in Less than half of Canadians say they will buy an electric vehicle as their next car: survey

Honestly, I have a hybrid, and even a lvl 2 charger at home, but I could never consider going full EV where I live, as I need a vehicle that can travel 700km in a single charge at -30°C before they are viable.

Give me a small SUV that can do that, and keep my payments under $300 bi-weekly, and I would switch in a heartbeat.

On a side note - fuck BC Hydro's exorbitant charging station rates, they are as bad as just using gas in my escape
