Why is USB insistent on having terrible naming schemes?

Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it?
Personally, I find the people here very elitist and unwelcoming, and I have found myself spending less and less time here because of it.

Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them

Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.
I said the same thing in like 2013. :(

My neighbor is moving and their trailer is parked pretty sketchy. Should I say something?
My mom got run into by a trailer that was rolling down a hill. Luckily my mom decided she was a superhero that day and was able to push the trailer to the curb to stop it from rolling down any further (it was a pretty steep hill). She got away with only a broken ankle.
So I say yeah. Tell them.

WARNING: Lemmy Self-Hosters, There Have Been CSAM Attacks taking place against [email protected]
I got lucky. I am not subscribed to this community, and I am the only person on my instance. But what if I was subscribed and hadn't seen this post? This is too much responsibility for me.
I just shut down my instance until we can disable cached images. If that never happens, then I'm not bringing it back up.
Shout-out to https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate. I moved my subscriptions over in a minute or two, and now, other than not having my post history, it's exactly the same.

Akira Toriyama has passed away at the age of 68
I'm seriously distraught. I'm normally not the kind of person that cares when famous people die, but it's so upsetting to think about the huge hole that will be left behind. No one can do what he does. No one can replace him. He was still working on Dragon Ball. We will never get more Toriyama content for Dragon Ball. The last time they tried doing Dragon Ball without him, it was GT.
Toriyama was probably the most influential manga author/artist of all time. He made a massive impact on my life. My wife and I bonded early over our love for Dragon Ball, so it's a very important part of our relationship. We have traveled far and wide to meet the voice actors (bother English and Japanese) at conventions so many times. We have SO many things signed by the voice actors. So much our lives have revolved around Dragon Ball.
AND THAT'S JUST DRAGON BALL. He worked on so many other things.
Thank you for all you have done for me, Toriyama.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?
I was actually the lead engineer on an Openwrt router. I hadn't heard of it before that, but at one point I pretty much knew it inside and out. It's been a few years since I left that company, so I'm a bit rusty at this point.
We made tons of custom features for our router. I did the backend and implemented UIs for most of them. The biggest feature I did though was a full REST API to be able to configure the router from a smart home controller, which was the company's main product. I did both the router side (server) and the smart home controller side (client/caller), including the UI on the smart home controller. I spent almost a year on just that feature. But I was damn proud of it by the end.

I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database
This is an excellent use case for a self hosted service, since location data is frequently used for nefarious purposes.

What's something small you achieved recently that you're proud of?
I fixed my refrigerator. 2 months ago I was changing the filter, and I was too lazy to turn off the water first, so the pressure was too high and it didn't seat properly. When I turned it, I broke the filter receptacle. I called Samsung, and they said they'll fix it, but they can't tell me how much it will cost until they make the work order, and at that point I can't cancel it if it's too expensive. I asked if they could ballpark, like $100 or $1000. They said they couldn't. So I told them to go fuck themselves. I ordered the part on Amazon for $60. I had to disassemble a decent amount of the refrigerator to get to the part. But I did it! I swapped out the part and everything works perfectly. All in all, it took about 2 hours. There were multiple videos on the internet on how to do it.
Fuck Samsung.

This isn't your fault. Thank you for all you have done in regards to this situation thus far.

Wayland usage has overtaken X11
Reply in thread
I imagine people who care about this sort of thing are more likely to report it. And people who care about this sort of thing are also more likely to be early adopters and go through the effort of switching to Wayland.
The way to get a more random sample is not something I want (built-in, automatic telemetry by default). So I'm fine with having skewed data for something like this.

No one has predicted the end of the world in a while.
If by "a while" you mean 1 month, then sure. There were tons of conspiracy theorists saying that the world was going to end on April 8th due to the solar eclipse.

Capcom announces salary increase for all employees this year
So an annual raise? I've got those at every job I have ever had. That's not some gracious thing. If you don't get an annual pay increase, or if your annual pay increase is less than the inflation rate, you are getting a pay decrease.

Pls pls pls....
When I was like 13 and was learning to play guitar, I learned sooo many songs by Avenged Sevenfold. And then I saw pictures of them playing concerts with the confederate flag, and even had custom confederate flag guitars. I lived a pretty sheltered life and didn't quite understand how big of a deal that was at the time, but it definitely felt a little gross to me. I slowly stopped listening to them.
They did eventually come out and say that they regret doing that, for what it's worth. But I never went back to listening to them.

Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?
I live in the US and I have never tipped housekeeping, nor have I ever heard of someone doing it.

Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs

I agree! Or let us disable caching images from other instances. I'm not interested at all in rehosting images that other users on other instances upload. That's too much of a legal liability to me.

Should I learn Docker or Podman?
As a podman user myself, they're essentially the same. I look at the docker documentation when learning new things about podman. 99.9% of the time, it's exactly the same. For the features that aren't in podman, you can use the podman-docker package. This gets you a daemon so you can have some docker-specific features such as a container being able to start/stop other containers by mounting the socket as a volume, and it allows you to use docker-compose.

I don't have advice, just a worthless anecdote.
I work at a large tech company. We had a Windows XP system on our network get hacked. They used that to jump to our servers. IT had to quarantine off the whole lab, because they didn't know where the hacker had hopped next. So then IT had to do a post-mortem and figure out how they got in and what was affected. That process took 3 months. In the meantime, any team with servers in that lab couldn't use them. The team directly responsible for this couldn't work at all for the full 3 months.
