But if it tried, wouldn’t the frogs fall in the water? I doubt the tiger can gracefully catch a frog off its own back.

My kids use Chromebooks at school. What I call “Word” they call “Docs”. It’s very clear why Google gives this operating system away for free.

I was looking for a post on Lemmy yesterday with a vague couple of keywords, used Kagi with “Fediverse forums” lens and bam, right there at the top was the post I was looking for, from a year ago! I couldn’t believe it.

It’s like how everyone used to search Reddit with site:reddit rather than using the reddit search. Except you can’t do that too easily for Lemmy because of all the instances. But the Kagi lens does a pretty impressive job of solving that.

I tried searching for the original and found heaps that were basically all the same joke.

Lemmy supports this. There are lots of ways to access Lemmy, and the default Lemmy website is probably the one that hides this feature the most.

Go to the search page (for you this would be https://lemm.ee/search) and there is a community list. Select the community you want to search within. Then enter your search term.

Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.

No, they removed that clause some 2 or 3 years back.

I use Borgmatic for my scheduled backups, and sync to Backblaze B2 with Rclone. Works great!

My data doesn’t compress as well as yours though.

This one seems like it was written especially for Lemmy.

Yes, but not just that. Opening a document in Word is for the writer.

A pet peeve of mine is when I’m sent a user guide as a Word document complete with squiggly lines under the words it doesn’t know.

Even worse is when a colleague sends a document like that to a customer.

PDF is a published file format, I find it hard to imagine a world where you could convince me downloading the user manual for my motherboard or downloading Lego assembly instructions should come as a word document.

I bet this person thinks all raster images should be bitmaps. Sorry maybe that was too harsh.

Docker wants you to use volumes. That data is persistent too. They say volumes are much easier to backup. I disagree, I much prefer the bind mounts, especially when it comes to selective backups.

Yes that’s what I do too!

Overnight cron to stop containers, run borgmatic, then start the containers again.

I occasionally have had permissions issues but I tend to be able to fix them. Normally it’s just a matter of deleting the files on the host and letting the container create them, though it doesn’t always work it usually does.

I don’t know if this is naughty but I use bind mounts for everything, and docker compose to keep it all together.

You can map directories or even individual files to directories/files on the host computer.

Normally I make a directory for the service then map all volumes inside a ./data directory or something like that. But you could easily bind to different directories. For example for photoprism I mount my photos from a data drive for it to access, mount the main data/database to a directory that gets backed up, and mount the cache to a directory that doesn’t get backed up.

Rumor has it that it exploded.

Haha I knew what this was even before I clicked 😆

This reminds me of a toy one of my kids got given from my mum.

Apparently it was a giraffe. A giraffe without the one defining feature of a giraffe.

It says here it’s 100 total: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/plans/plan-types.htm

The Trial plan is limited to 100 total searches. This plan is suited for those interested in exploring Kagi and curious about paid search engines.

Is it 100 a month? I thought it was 100 total, no specified time frame. It’s intended as a trial period not a free tier.

Reading through Geologic time scale, it defines an age as equivalent to a chronostratigraphic stage, which it says are normally millions of years. But you’re right, interestingly the current Meghalayan age only started 4,200 years ago.

It seems all the recent ages are only a few thousand years each (until 2018 the last 10,000 or so were one age, but this was split in three in 2018).

After all that reading I still didn’t really understand how they decided that this was a new age.

But anyway, I agree there isn’t going to be any difference between 2,000 and 4,000 years so we might as well consider Pompeii fossilised even if not strictly true under the definition. I’m just surprised we consider anything within human history to be a previous geological age, but it seems we do.
