Really? That's not been my experience at all. In fact, the default for most Gen Z kids (I have two of them) is either iMessages on the iOS platform or Snapchat.

It depends how hard you go on the 'c' at the start, IMO

Jesus I hope this isn't just an election promise that vaporises after next year

Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.

This old thing - a Barmah Squashy hate, made from Kangaroo leather. I clearly don't regularly treat it with leather conditioner like they tell you to.

This hat is my constant companion whenever I go camping. We're literally tomorrow leaving for a three week trip through the Outback, so it's about to get a lot of use.

Are you sure? I went looking after I upgraded and I still only have Assist; Scripts; Actions; and Open Page.

Cheers! I certainly hope it will be. We're traveling the Aussie outback - want my wife and daughter to have a whole bunch of life experiences on this trip.

Awesome. Literally about to leave for a three week caravan trip. This will make a nice addition to the playlist for those relaxing arvos around the campfire.

A lot less VCDs and MP3s downloaded from FTP servers and BBSes.

Not sure if I’d bring it back, but I sure do miss the fun of playing Quake against my mates on public servers.

Hoping someone more in the know can explain this to me. Could commissioning an art piece feasibly mean you've paid for that art to be yours? Are there types of contracts available when commissioning art pieces where, conceivably, the person commissioning the piece gets the rights to use it for other things?

I'm not across the legal and ethical aspects of commissioning art pieces, and neither the article or the DA post gives any additional detail. Just wondering if the "Josh" who the artist named in their DeviantArt post be someone who was involved in the Nerf gun somehow...

No judgement here, and my wife has always said she never judges how anyone gives birth.

Question was asked. I answered. That is all.

Watching her give birth to our daughter. No drugs. Just natural child birth (in a hospital).

Years later, discussing childbirth with her (now) 20yo daughter (my step daughter), when asked why she did it that way for all three of her kids, she simply said it was something she wanted go go through, to feel connected to the experience of having her kids.

Awe and pride don't even begin to explain what I felt (and still feel) for my wife.

 

This weekend, I cutover my home network to OPNsense on Proxmox.

So far, it's been... OK. I'm having some issues with state tracking on a couple of VLANs, so need to dig into some pcaps from my switch and see what's going on there.

But one question I have is how to get the best out of my hardware, as it seems my WAN speed is a lot less than it should be.

I'm running Proxmox on a HP DL360 G6, with the pair of built-in 1Gbps NICs. One NIC is dedicated to my WAN connection, using a bridge in Proxmox, and it's plugged in directly to my 1Gbps fibre internet.

The OPNsense VM has 4 cores, 8GB of RAM, and a 40GB volume.

Using my previous hardware router/firewall (Draytek VIgor 2865), I was easily getting some decent speeds - 500Mbps to 700Mbps+. But, I'm lucky if I can get speeds any higher than about 120Mbps right now through OPNsense.

I've disabled hardware checksum offload and hardware TCP segmentation in the OPNsense firewall. Then I found this post that suggested doing the same to the NIC and bridge in Proxmox as well.

I've even tried rate limiting the interfaces on the OPNsense VM to 1000Mbps (OPNsense says they're 10Gbps), but nothing's made a difference.

So, throwing out to my newfound Lemmy network: does anyone have any suggestions on what to try, or look at, next, please? Kinda worried I might have to go back to the Draytek, which would be a real shame. OPNsense has already proven to be far superior in every other way.

 

I've fired up my own Lemmy instance, but am keeping it closed right now. It's mainly so I don't contribute to the user load on the more popular instances, but I may open it up to a circle of friends and family at some point in the future.

But, one of the things that has me worried right now is how I could prevent illegal/unwanted content from being cached on my instance.

Aside from blocking entire instances, how can I stop a user from subscribing to a remote community that includes illegal/unwanted content?

What if they sub to an acceptable community (this one, for example) and someone posts something that escapes the mods' attention temporarily, but that content ends up on my instance?
