Favorite custom asset mods?

My friends and I are looking to set up another server now that the game's out. Valheim Plus will handle all of our qol but I'm looking for suggestions on custom assets.

Curseforge and Thunderstore don't seem to have a category for this stuff and I'm having a hard time browsing so I'm asking the community.

To be fully clear: Nothing functional, no QoL, no graphical mods, just buildable objects for aesthetics.

What's the best way to still something expensive that can't be shipped?

Several years ago I bought a piece of equipment for about $13,000. I used the shit out of it and kept it in good condition but I dont see myself getting back into it. I'm expecting to get about $6000 for it but since it was delivered on a pallet, shipping it is out of the question.

Feels like a bad idea to accept a check/QuickPay/venmo/anything that can be canceled afterward so am I stuck with cash?

And are there better sites for this than Craigslist? I don't have Facebook.

Let's say you have 50 spider plants...

You've given away so many already, your friends are begging you to stop offering.

You turned a corner of the office into a "FREE PLANTS" display months ago but your coworkers are already stocked. You've also snuck a few into the planters in the foyer, too.

But your two original plants won't stop making pups. So you've got 50 spider plants in your house.

What are you doing with them?

What are some clever band/artist names?

Third Eye Blind popped into my head this morning and I always thought their name was pretty clever. I started thinking about a few others I like and got stuck on "modified birth names"

City & Colour - stage name of Dallas Green

Corto Alto - stage name for Liam Shortall (Corto Alto means "short tall" in Spanish)

Dora Jar - stage name for Dorothy Jar (door ajar)

I don't love when artists pick names based on other artists, though. I love Chet Faker's music but wish he stuck with Nick Murphy.

Are there any that you really like?

[Edit] Please explain why you think a name is clever! I've looked up the origins of the unfamiliar names getting posted but I'm definitely missing what's clever about some of them

The user SteamAndEpic does not follow bot guidelines

Russian LLM spewing random uncited emoji-laden gaming news . But they 're not tagged as a bot nor do they have any contact information. have no contact info

Yes, they keep it to their own community. Yes, I can just block either one. So consider this a crusade against AI ruining the internet.

They are actively making Lemmy.world, the fediverse, and the whole internet a worse place. I would like the server rules applied to them.

In The Sentry, Reed Richards calls Doctor Strange "Steven"

I'm not a big comic reader but every once in awhile, my best friend will show up with a comic he thinks I should read. He's never been wrong - last time it was Ultimate Martian Manhunter, this time it was The Sentry.

The only Marvel movie I've seen in the past decade is End Game so we both thought it was really funny that I caught this. He correctly calls him "Stephen" a few pages later.

As for the comic itself - it's an awesome self-contained story that unfolds very nicely. The artwork is amazing and diverse as you read through different hero's perspectives. I've never been a big Hulk fan but wow, his section was my favorite??

I really liked the timeframe, too. Something happens and something had to be done. But the comic isn't about the something...it's about the anticipation of doing it. Cool idea built on top of another cool idea with a really good conclusion.

!!SPOILER WARNING!!

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler For the most part, I assumed The Sentry was a classic superhero I just wasn't familiar with. And ironically, the part that clued me in was knowing Bruce Banner did not 'get better' in a watchtower. But I still wasn't certain until the end.

Meanwhile, my friend went in knowing he wasn't real AND that every flashback story was fake but was still doubting himself by the end. :::

Anyone have success propagating Monstera Adansonii?

I've propagated a dozen different plants but this one just won't happen for me. I'm using all the methods I've had success with elsewhere and always end with a dead vine.

I've tried right into soil, right into water. Letting a cutting dry overnight. Dabbing rooting hormones on it. Sharing a cup with other rooting plants. Nothing!

So if you've had success, what did you do? Did you find it any harder to propagate than others?

Who runs the "SteamAndEpic" bot?

And what is wrong with you?

You made an AI agent to summarize random video game news. It never provides sources outside of the occasional Steam link, it's just uncited garbage about unlocking skins in some stupid game or GTA 6 leaks. And as a cherry on top, emoji.

Are YOU reading the posts? If so, what are you getting out of it? And if not, why would you think anyone else wants to read it?

Before you say "just block them," that doesn't answer this question that has me baffled. I want to know what the creator thinks they're adding to the fediverse with this slop.

I'm pretty sure I'm the #1 commenter simply through trying to answer this question. It's a dead community with a bot posting to no one. What is the point

Can anyone recommend a light similar to the one in this picture?

Hey there. I grew some Stephania and want to give one to my friend but where she wants to put it will require some supplemental lighting.

There's nothing above it so undershelf lights won't work. She understandably doesn't want a floor stand or clip-on light in her foyer, either.

So I'm looking for something like the photo....minus the "smart" app stuff. There's a lot of crap brands on Amazon and I only really know of Barrina and SANSI whose options aren't great for this.

Any suggestions?

(The light in the picture is a Glowrium but I know nothing about them)

What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy?

I don't get it. Without any sort of posting guidelines, how is this any different than asklemmy? Both communities come from subreddits but over there, Askreddit was for general/public opinion questions and nostupidquestions was for questions you feel stupid for not knowing the answer to. Over here, both posts are acceptable. And this one seems to get way more vague "what do you think about X?" posts.

So what's the point? Why have two separate communities on the same instance for the same thing? Most posts here are, frankly, stupid questions. The post that inspired this question was the one about Harambe. Come on lol

Got banned from suppressed_news for asking for a source

https://lemmy.world/post/47375566

I don't know how to see deleted comments but I said something like "is there a link here I'm just not seeing? This is a screenshot of a reddit post"

After looking at their profile I see that OP, the only mod, is a very pro-russia. Go figure lol

I don't actually care that I'm banned from a reddit repost community but I thought it was funny that it was the result of asking for a source

Fedora 44 - the start menu takes WAY too long to find the right program?

I'm several months into my Linux journey and this is one thing that is driving me absolutely crazy because it legit just works on Windows and OS X.

  1. I hit the start button

  2. I type "note"

  3. I hit enter.

If I give it a full second between steps 2 and 3, Notesnook opens as intended.

But if I hit enter at a normal speed, a game (Necesse) launches.

This is presumably because it's executing the command before the search finishes.

Can I change this behavior? I use AutoCAD for a living so typing a command and hitting enter really fast is a habit I won't be able to break.

What do you keep around to cover making most soil mixes?

When I started getting more serious about plantkeeping last year, I picked up the essentials for repotting the plants I had. I have potting mix, perlite, orchid bark, spaghum moss, and fertilizer pellets

But times have changed and I may have impulse bought a bunch of caudex roots online and I definitely don't have the right soil for it so I have to pick up some cactus soil. I also may have purchased a bunch of seeds of various plants...

I figured if I'm driving to the supply store, I might as well get everything I might need. So what do you keep around if you want to be able to pot anything?

Window control frustrations on Fedora/Plasma (full screen window)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/42657201

I'm struggling to replicate some window behavior I'm used to (from Windows) on a new install. Does anyone have any insight?

My goal is to play a game full screen but still be able to pin windows above it.

If a game is set to Full Screen, "Keep Above Others" doesn't work.

If I run a game Full Screen (Windowed), it keeps the taskbar visible and gives me cropped resolution options.

The only way I've found that works is manually configuring each window property to turn off the title bar, set a fixed position, and a minimum resolution. And also setting the taskbar to Auto Hide.

I don't want to manually configure every game (which often requires restarting it multiple times). I don't want my taskbar to Auto Hide. And I want it to be hidden until I alt+tab or press the start key.

Is this possible?
