Story time: once upon a time, back when I was much, much cooler than I am now, I used to ride a motorcycle. I had this bad habit of riding with the visor up and no sunglasses. That is, until one day, a bug got stuck in my eyelid. I had to ride for 30 minutes like that before I got home and was able to wash out my eyeball.

Moral of the story: eye protection! Always eye protection!

Get everything you can out of your name: bank accounts, house, investments, etc. Make a living will. Look up trusts. Now is not the time to give up; not yet.

Welcome! As a new mod of a community that recently went through similar growing pains (and rules updates), I can appreciate the challenges ahead of you and @ayyy@sh.itjust.works. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and that will do a lot for you and this community. There is nothing more humbling than being given a responsibility like this (at least, that’s how I feel: YMMV).

It is my understanding that mods from different instances than the community do not (always?) see the mod reports for the community (or get notified?). It might be worth looking into more just to be sure.

Also, I’d love to learn more about your local AI setup. I’ve been interested in doing something like that myself, but I am not sure where to start. 😊

Happy cake day you crazy bird!

You know you’re supposed to take a leek in the bathroom?

Yes, daddy. 🥹

This was funny the first time I read it. Even more so after I reread the body of the post.

Chucklefuck!

Be wary that high bitrate 4K media may cause issues with playback buffering.

This could be Jellyfin, AppleTV, or it could be network/storage related (due to needing high speed data transfer).

I second using the Infuse app for playback. It works wonderfully!

You washed out. It’s all the buzz now that you posted it. Be careful though, this could get hairy.

The people writing the laws know exactly what they’re doing. Also, the people writing the laws are not necessarily the people passing the laws.

Lobbyists often will write laws, and then wine and dine lawmakers to pass them.

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one.

It’s a… it’s a… um, late for dinner? 🫣

I was making a joke about how the email was dated back in August 2025, and how it’s being posted now (for April Fool’s Day). The comparison being that the email talked about waiting on IPv6 adoption since 1998.

But you’re right that using IPv4 locally makes sense. Ain’t no way I’m trying to remember a 128-bit address.

Kinda like ipv6 adoption, huh?

Look at the founded part. It was Gregg Appliances in 1955. HHGregg in 2017. It’s about the timeline, Yugi.

You mean Gregg Appliances?

I see your Circuit City and raise you Service Merchandise.

Am I? Are you sure? 😂

I bet if you tilted the computer ever so slightly to match the bend, Windows would show more available space.
