I know one of you can help..

I hate to bother you guys with something this lame but I've been searching for weeks and I've been giving her all she's got captain, but I can't find this image anywhere.

The image in question is a "meme" (twitter post screencapped and cropped), the subject of the post was a metaphor for worker burnout using the warp drives as the metaphorical device. The basics were "the enterprise can only sustain max warp for X hours, it usually runs around warp Y. You can't work at 100% all the time." but y'know a lot more eloquent.

My boss needs to be accidentally sent this meme, "I totally meant to send it to a friend.."

Issues editing location

Hey guys I'm hoping you have some ideas on what I'm doing wrong (without me doxxing myself posting the actual edit..lol).

I have uploaded and updated a few POIs near me but so far one and only one refuses to show in OSMand+. It's a "Warehouse" so I put that in the field where "Store" would go, I added the business name (let's say "Goku Enterprises"), and the street name/num. My gut says maybe something to do with "warehouse" but OSM's site says that's a cromulent tag, I'm sure it's something obvious I just haven't learned yet.

Thanks in advance to anyone with any help!

Litterbox.catbox.moe alternative?

Turns out catbox is blocked by like everyone, are there any good private alternatives that are not blocked by the masses that I can use to send files under 2gb with a "delete after X hours" feature?

Before you say Lufi, it refuses to finish requesting the file on the DL end, times out every time, on a 22.15MB file no less.

Any help would be appreciated. Trying to send a relative who "doesn't want to turn off her wifi" on her iPhone lest "it mess something up" a video. No shot I can get her to log into her router and disable the stupid "security" hijack that blocks catbox.

Recommended cameras for beginners?

I want to get a camera that I can use mostly for nature pics and graffiti pics out the window of a moving train, and maybe a butt or two (consensually ofc). Yes I know I'm weird. That said I guess I'll need a "fast" one for the train, if that is the correct terminology (I think for shutter speed, yes?) The only other requirement is I will not download programs or apps beyond FOSS, preferably something I can just take the SD card out of and plug it into my laptop (linux anyway, most programs don't like me).

I don't see myself making this my living (and if I do then I can always upgrade) just as a hobby and maybe some side hustle if the opportunity knocks, so I don't need the best camera, but I would rather buy nice not twice (unless I leave "hobbyist" and move to "professional"). That said I was thinking maybe a DSLR would be enough for me (if not, I could be persuaded to mirrorless, just trying to keep costs down)? I've heard good things about the Canon Rebel, idk. I'm not really trying to go over $1k (and even cheaper than that would be even better) especially if I have to then buy a lens or two.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing lol.

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 01/21/2026

List is up! Let's see here..

Minor Arcana #13 - Still loving this series, also loved Fishflies so that's perhaps unsurprising. Something about the artstyle and the spooky small town subject matter just clicks (or should I say Crunch to reference the misprint in Fishflies lol), I hope he keeps it up.

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Rite Of Spring #5 - My favorite series right now still going strong.

Geiger #20 - I'm so behind but I'm still picking them up, I'll get back to reading Fallout Man soon enough.

That's it for me this week, what're you pulling?

Best Mastodon App?

I'm looking for android, but I suppose iOS welcome for those with iPhones.

I've been using Fedilab, but I have a bad habit of not checking super often and so Fedilab reaches a point where it won't say "load more" and leaves gaps in my feed, which I'd like to fix. Also was using it for pixelfed, but since that acct was deleted for inactivity I'm not using the multi-service function anymore, but multi-mastodon-acct support is still needed. Used Tusky previously but don't remember why I switched (like two years ago).

Been a couple years, so I figured I'd see what people like using these days and try out a few.

osm·OpenstreetmapbyArcaneSlime

Easiest way to contribute?

Oh neat an OSM community, and I find it organically two days after I decide I need to figure out how to contribute!

Well so my area needs some help, POI data can be spotty but moreso I have a few newly built apartment complexes nearby that (while they're visible on the map,) need their streets named and buildings numbered.

What is the easiest way for me to add this information to OSM? I'm aware of OSMAND+ and Everydoor apps for android through my searching yesterday and I've downloaded both (well I downloaded OSMAND+ when Magic Earth went shitty but just to use as a gps) but that's as far as I've gotten.

delta_chat·Delta Chat byArcaneSlime

What's a good privacy focused relay to use?

I'm primarily concerned with privacy and security, thus the interest in Delta Chat to begin with, but it seems to me that all the relays (at least the ones on the delta chat site's list, that is) are hosted in 5 eyes countries or countries that will soon be subject to the EU's chat control bullshit, or are in India or South Africa (two countries which I do not know about their own privacy situation, though the SA server is a ".wang" which is hilarious.)

Is there any relay that I can sign up for that's hosted somewhere like Norway, that cares about privacy at least ostensibly? Any other list of available relays?

I'm sure "it doesn't matter because e2ee," but assuredly some metadata must still exist, like sender/recipient or something. Unfortunately self hosting isn't an option currently as idk how to do that sort of thing just yet (one day) and also I'm in a 5 eyes country, so I'd have to VPS it somewhere.

A couple XMR questions from a crypto beginner.

Hey Monero people, I hope it's ok if I ask a few questions (and ok that I'm gonna crosspost this to monero.town even though you're phasing it out because the subbed number is higher), I trust you more than the LLM and ad filled search results.

What's the safest way to get monero from fiat anon in Current Year?

  • Buy, say, ETH kyc, and transfer?
  • Hodl Hodl or localmonero or something? (recs welcome)
  • other? Please share preferred

I'd rather burn a few bucks to not get ripped off, if it's reasonable, but I'm open to (I've heard you can somewhere) buy a gift card and do a transfer with escrow.

With Cake Wallet, I rolled a random name for my xmr wallet, would I lose anon if I named it a pre-used screen name(+xmr, btc, etc) and used subkeys? Who all can see the wallet name?

If I do end up with some kyc monero, what exactly does that mean to me? I still use it anon but have to pay taxes or something, or is it like, "now we know who is associated with this acct and you paid your weedman in XMR so now we send you to prison?" Should I have one wallet, kyc that one, and then send it to a second I keep clean, is that reasonable? Can I only accept non-kyc monero to my acct if I intend to stay anon? I'm so very new to this.

I'm really not planning on dodging taxes or buying/selling weed, actually mostly planning on using it as an inconvenient but private cashapp-type replacement (prob have like, btc, xmr, and eth wallets for variety just in case and store the funds as btc and xmr), but I'm privacy minded which is what attracts me to XMR to begin with, I'd like to plan for buying a gun that shoots fentanyl bullets on the darkweb and then in reality I'm paying my friend for watching my cat, or being paid for watching their dogs.

Lastly, is there anything else you think I'm too inexperienced to know to ask, but should be told? I mean consider me dumb, I don't know shit, I'm new to crypto entirely not just xmr or cake.

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 11/26/2025

List is up! I've been really slacking on lists and pick ups these past few weeks, but let's see here..

Guess that's it for me today, what're y'all pulling?

[Solved] Help! Edited fstab and broke my system!

So I have two SSDs in my laptop running FedoraKDE, and every time I mount the one used for storage, I have to type the luks password and then my root password. So, looking it up, I found that to not need root to mount the drive I need to add it to fstab.

I added (as was told by the internet since I'm flying by the seat of random stackoverflow help in absence of real knowledge):

UUID=uuid-string-goes-here   /path/to/directory ext4 defaults 0 0

To fstab (and forgot to chown the directory, oops!) and rebooted, aaaaaaand now I get booted into "emergency mode" with root disabled and have no clue what to do.

I think I used the right uuid, it was nvme0p1 (or whatever that drive said the right name was, can't check now!) In any case, I didn't use the uuid of the drive my system was running on, for sure.

Boot hangs on

job dev-disk-by\x2duuid- [Something something]

Edit: Still taking any advice on how to actually not have to use root to mount this drive, though my boot issue is solved and it looks like I have some links to peruse already!

Should I use autocrypt?

I was setting up a new email in Thunderbird (android) and Kmail (because the version of Tbird in the Fedora repo is old and doesn't have the bugfix required for me to add new accts, so I'm stuck until they decide to update it) and I noticed both support something called Autocrypt in the pgp settings. I searched it but got some bullshit about car keys, so I figured maybe someone here would know.

It seems like a useful thing especially for those who claim pgp is too difficult, but I've never heard it mentioned once, and so I'm left wondering why that is. Is it secure? Does using it cause interoperability issues with people who don't use pgp or autocrypt (say some gmail user)? Is there some other drawback I'm too blind to see?

Anyone with any advice or experience using this "Autocrypt" that I didn't think to ask please chime in as well!

Apparently not believing the FBI's "superman" story is punishable by removal.

Not that I particularly care I just find it funny that I can't reply to:

you’re not Superman

Speak for yourself!

Clark Kent

With a relevant (to superman) and harmless enough joke about how the FBI is claiming Charlie Kirk is The Man Of Steel AKA Superman, and how I don't believe that he actually was Superman. I mean I didn't even celebrate it, I just don't believe the claim.

But they left up all the other comments detailing why I don't believe the FBI and frankly I'm baffled.
