Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel like popular media using a game of Chess to depict a "battle of wits" to be too cliche/cringe?English
6·3 months agoIn some sense this is correct. Chess strategy is fairly well documented, and a skilled player will know quite a bit of how a game will play out based on a given board state.
In another sense, there are something like 10^46 legal board states that can be reached from the starting state across all legal permutations of the game rules.
It’s functionally impossible for a person to know the outcome of a game from the first move.
You’re right, just add

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Miracle Whip is better than mayonnaiseEnglish
21·4 months agoMcDonald’s in Japan is actually pretty good.
Which speaks more to the general quality of food in Japan rather than the quality of Japanese McDonald’s. You can get better food at basically any other restaurant in the country.
But still, it tastes like actual food, unlike American, Australian, and Italian McDonald’s.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Router VPN? Express put to restEnglish
1·4 months agoReally? I’ve been using ExpressVPN on my torrent box with an OpenVPN client for years. It’s still working today.
I know they’re not the best, but I’ve been too lazy to switch on that device.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it!English
3·4 months agoI’m far from an expert and have never setup borg, but I see some possible problems with that config, though I don’t think I see anything that would cause it fail.
-
In the environment section of borg, borgmatic, and borgweb, the “BORG_PASSPHRASE” variable is used inconsitently, it either needs to be uncommented in borg or commented out in borgmatic and borgweb.
-
Networks: having a single “backup_net” network is less than ideal from a security standpoint. Nginx should probably be in it’s own network (an ipvlan or macvlan network) in addition to the backup_net. backup_net should be isolated to the host that are running borg, while any communication into borg should be routed through nginx on its ip.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100English
11·4 months agoDamn, I saw the headline, thought “Did someone finally…” But no, it’s not a YubiKey (or similar) in the form of a signet ring.
It’s a finger mounted microphone with a non are chargeable non-replaceable battery.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Duct tape and WD-40 are memesEnglish
5·4 months agoWhile the term “duct tape” does commonly refer to both the (usually) grey fabric based tape and the aluminum foil based tape used in duct work, technically only the aluminum tape is duct tape.
The proper term for the fabric based tape is actually duck tape as it was originally made from cotton duck, which is a durable cotton weave similar to denim or canvas that can be easily made water resistant by impregnating it with wax. It was invented during WWII and was used to seal ammo cans. It’s also not particularly resistant to extreme temperatures nor is it air tight, and is kind of useless when it comes to duct work.
Duck Tape is also a name brand for both duck tape and duct tape.

Voyager@lemmy.world•Bug: Black borders / smaller window after postingEnglish
7·4 months agoI know it’s almost two weeks later, but I’m also seeing this issue. My experience matches the others reported here.
After I post a comment/reply I get a slightly shrunken window with black borders.
Additionally, some of the UI elements look slightly washed out in color.
It’s almost like the animation for returning from the reply screen never fully finishes.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour?English
19·4 months agoBananas are not radioactive enough to meaningfully increase cancer risk in any quantity.
Intensity of radiation falls according to the inverse square law. Because bananas take up space it’s not possible to have enough bananas close enough to you to irradiate you.
Not to mention the fact that there’s a growing body of evidence that elevated radiation exposure can, to a point, decrease cancer risk.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Linux becoming as ubiquitous as Windows or Mac would not be a utopian endpoint.English
8·4 months agoThe communities of enthusiasts, purists, and OSS advocates, I think would push back hard against any enshitification. And the license models would allow those same people to revert any changes made by moneyed interests by simply forking the software and making it better.
You already kind of have examples of that happening. RHEL and SUSE are both owned by corporate interests. Both have open source alternatives both upstream and downstream of them. History has already shown that when either do shitty things, people push back, and if that push back fails they fork it and fix it themselves.

Ask Science@lemmy.world•Are there suits like John Wick wears that are bullet proof and tactical? Are we working on it? Like that thin of a material stopping a bullet for example?English

Hacksmith did make one. They’ve got a video on YouTube about it and the making of.

Depends on what shift I’m working. Day shift I’ll shower at night because I don’t have time in the morning. Night shift I’ll shower in the morning.
I definitely prefer showering in the morning, (I also prefer night shift) a good shower just generally feels like a good start to the day. It helps me wake up and gives me time to mentally prepare for the day.
