Sounds like a good reason to get used to doing plain parafin chain dips. That’s what I do and it’s so simple and effective. I just have a bag of candle making parafin blocks and mini like 1qt slow cooker.

World News@lemmy.world•New video of Renee Good's fatal encounter with ICE agent in MinneapolisEnglish
21·8 days agoI assume this sick Nazi fuck just wanted to make a snuff video of an innocent mom, wife and US citizen.
It really does seem that way - the whole situation, especially being prepared recording and positioning himself at the front corner of the car so he could safely take a glancing bump from the car without actually risking his safety gives me flashbacks to bullies on the playground who would stand in front of you and move to block you just so that you’d run into them and they could call the teacher and say you pushed them. That but a grown ass adult and given a gun.

21·9 days agoAs a dev with roughly 10 years (or more depending on how you count) of experience, I would have done the same. Beyond maintaining self respect, I feel like we have a duty to each other to ensure companies that treat candidates like this have the hardest time possible finding someone willing to put up with it. I don’t even entertain companies that won’t let me use my choice of distro - especially considering I’m web UI focused.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Places to test APKs to see if they're really from the app I wanna download?English
3·10 days agoIf you tried BlueStacks and androidstudio and those don’t work, and you don’t have access to an old android device, then you could try something like BrowserStack - I’ve occasionally used them to test websites in specific combinations of OS and browser version on supposedly real devices. They have an option to test android apps, and you may be able to transfer your apk or paste in a share link to try it out there.
I think they give you 30 minutes free, but I haven’t tried the app testing (since I’m a web dev) so idk if it would be excluded from the sign up bonus. The price for a single freelancer is $19 month to month.

11·10 days agoAre you using sonarr/radarr to do your renaming? I have mine set to patterns that put the release group at the end. It usually has no problem picking up release groups at the beginning (especially for anime, that seems to be pretty common), so by the time it’s auto imported, the filenames have been normalized to standard format with release group at the end.

Games@lemmy.world•Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day BansEnglish
2·12 days agoI see! My metaphor was mainly meant to illustrate that whether anticheat is directly related to the current security issue is orthogonal to why I thought it was relevant to bring up. I could have picked a better one that didn’t imply that their misplaced concern about Linux cheaters actually consumes resources.
Maybe a better metaphor would be a municipality refusing to do something about a small issue (maybe poor transit to a specific neighborhood) and also actively refusing to let that neighborhood solve the problem themselves (proton devs) with the excuse that allowing that neighborhood to have transit would cost too much (even if the neighborhood were to do it themselves) and cause more crime (painting Linux users as hackers) all the while some completely unrelated group is actually causing the crime elsewhere.

Games@lemmy.world•Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day BansEnglish
3·12 days agoI’m assuming this is a good faith question and that you’re not just just trying to play word games: they’re focused on scapegoating Linux by refusing to support it and blaming it for supposedly being a security nightmare. I’m pointing out that this is misplaced obviously because they have bigger concerns, as evidenced by the article.

446·12 days agoI think you’re misunderstanding why I’m bringing it up. It’s not because I think their server is protected by anticheat, but because they’re both forms of security. And my point is that their security posture is focused on the wrong area by scapegoating Linux instead of where they should be focusing, server security. If you don’t think their misplaced focus on Linux (which I agree is unrelated to server security) has anything to do with getting hacked then I don’t know what to tell you.
To give it an analogy, if your local government had unmaintained roads and you commented about how they spend tons of resources on police patting down everyone to prevent them from planting gardens, sure you could say it’s “not related to roads”, but that’s the whole point of bringing it up. It’s unrelated which is why it’s dumb to be focusing on it. Client sided anticheat is not equal to server security, but the misplaced security focus makes it relevant even if it’s not specifically on topic.
It’s like if a boat was sinking due to a huge hole and your captain was busy trying to stop people from tightening loose bolts on wobbly chairs. Yeah it’s not the same thing, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful to point out the misplaced focus.
Does that make sense?
(Edited to make the metaphors illustrate both 1. unrelated issues being relevant to a discussion within the scope of misplaced focus and 2. that the misplaced focus in this case isn’t even because they’re spending resources on the other issue, but rather trying to scapegoat and block people from fixing the unrelated issue)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who have used dating apps before, what was your experience like?English
11·23 days agoMy general experience is swiping through hundreds of people to get a few matches that seem promising only for none of them to respond to my intro messages (which I do take the time to write something unique and related to interests on their profile). The few that do respond typically stop responding after a day or two, I usually give it a couple weeks and then unmatch. Rinse and repeat for about a year and I might eventually end up managing to go out for coffee once a year, and it’s really a coin toss whether a second date happens.
It’s pretty discouraging but I did meet my current partner on tinder. It just takes a lot of time and patience, and not letting the experience make you disillusioned or jaded.

421·24 days agoThe problem is uline is a 1 stop shop for many businesses to buy a whole range of supplies, not just boxes. At my last job basically everything in the office came from uline, including the desks, trash cans, hand soap, mops, the disposable cups in the kitchen, and many of the warning signs plastered around the machine shop. The problem was known then but we weren’t successful in convincing them to replace uline with 5-10 other separate companies.




I’m just talking about chain oil, I don’t have a solution for anything else 🙂
Parafin seems easier to make at home since it’s has been used for candles for a long time (since like the 1800s). Plus you can salvage candles in a pinch, and dipping a chain hardly takes any Parafin from the pot so the same pot will last decades. I’ve been using the same Parafin pot for about 5 years and the level hasn’t noticeably changed.
Not to mention that using a dry lube like parafin greatly extends the chain life because it doesn’t collect dirt and sand that increases chain wear, and you wouldn’t want to have to find a new chain.
