Didn’t see any

There’s one with a more general title but no activity in a year https://lemmy.world/c/pelletgrills

Edit: ohhhhhhhh, “bbq” is something it never occurred to me to look for. That does exist and has activity!

It’s still kind of lonely at !traeger@lemmy.world …… almost doubled the number of subscribers since I started posting, but it’s mostly lurkers.

For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)

I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts

Or does there need to be a metal bikini and giant slug involved?

Granted I have very simple requirements, so It does seem pretty easy, except

• there are still too many devices that don’t support it
• too many ISPs don’t support it, including mine

So switching to IPv6 means running dual stack and setting up a tunnel, and I probably need to relearn firewalls. I’m not sure any of those are very difficult but it’s enough, especially since there’s no clear win here

If Matter-Thread ever gets off the ground that would help: most of my newer IPv4-only devices are home automation so switching to an IPv6-based protocol should finally make that happen

Exponential functions. Seriously. You meet crisis after crisis, each having a risk of ending civilization, but that risk never goes away. It keeps multiplying and multiplying, until you realize the risk curve is approaching a vertical line

Worst was the first, I had no clue what I was doing and I’m pretty sure she couldn’t have enjoyed it. Despite being in similar friend groups, we both pretended it never happened and never spoke of it again. Now decades later we ran into each other. To make it worse, she recognized me but had to introduce herself to me. All that cringe came flooding back

I guess DevOps or whatever the eff DevSecOps is

I’m the guy who helps our coders figure out how to build their stuff, our testers figure out how to automate their stuff, and help them follow good app security practices. Somehow im the expert in Java when they can’t figure it out, the expert in JavaScript, the expert in python, etc, based mostly on my Google skills. Luckily we hired someone else for Kubernetes because I just don’t have time to stay ahead of them. Today someone tried asking for help with Ruby and I had to draw the line

My manager tried to stick me on Windows when I started, but it’s really not supported for Engineering. Our products are all on variations of Red Hat and Amazon Linux, all our technical staff has Mac laptops, and management uses Windows for their presentations and stuff

I’m in Massachusetts, but I think I’m “cheating”. When I’ve had to finance, I’ve gotten a promotional rate. As far as I know you can only get those by letting the dealer find financing, so the credit union can’t match the promotional rate

Edit: my credit union is currently offering 6.84% loans for new cars. It’s hard to get the info to compare but the latest I found from my car manufacturer was 5.6%, but this spring they had at least two promotionals for 0% and 1%. Most importantly, it’s not like you can opt out of the financing and get a rebate of equal value

Completely? No, banks do a lot more than the retail accounts everyone is familiar with.

Side effects? ATM ownership? Usually the privately owned ones are much more expensive, borderline scams. Credit card processing?

Depending on how liberally you take the intent of the question, I haven’t directly used a traditional bank in decades. However my online bank has more capabilities than my credit union. And who would put investments in a bank when there are so many better investment options? My mortgage was started with a bank but sold to a loan processing company: if I had gotten it through my credit union, they don’t sell mortgages. I suppose car loans are typically a Main stream bank: my credit union offers poor terms for those, can’t compete

Some random Blues channel, and me, cursing at Sonos for updating their app to one that doesn’t work on my older iPad. The volume seems too high but the app is mostly blank and no way to check the alarm settings (and yes, I’ve found the volume on my alarms changed after previous updates)

Private jets only have a handful of nuts

Religion can still be legit IF

• the goal is moral good - most modern religions have a similar moral basis, as do agnostics and atheists
• non-interference - in this life, it’s all up to you
• nobody can speak for whatever supreme being and it has better things to do than speak to us
• outside of that moral foundation, it’s all more of a tool than a goal. Rituals and daily rules help you stay on the path but aren’t goals in themselves. For example if you adhere to your variation of communal prayer, you are spending time uplifting your thoughts to the moral foundation, and developing a harmony with your community. It’s a tool, a practice, to develop better habits toward your goal

Compare it to diet plans. There are many variations where the goal is to eat fewer calories but with rituals to help develop better habits and learn portion control. They are all legit approaches and you can reach your goal of a new life with whichever variation works best for you

I vaguely remember reading something about a Prius with solar panel on the roof. It was enough to run a small fan to keep the interior a little cooler. In theory it improved efficiency because the air conditioning had less work to do

This is why a streaming service works for me. Back when I had to buy music, I basically never did, so never really listened. Now that I can usually play something that I’ve never heard before, but is still similar to stuff I like, I play music all the time.

I understand the argument that artists get paid less for streaming, but I suspect the increased playing time makes up for it

Yeah, that would be a huge impractical goal for me: getting organized

Wow, it’s like talking to an Alien …… while I do occasionally use Windows, my main laptop is OSX, my home servers are Raspian and Suse and at work I use Red Hat, Debian and whatever Amazon Linux is, and my media consumption is Linux or iOS

Think of Star Trek as an analogy.

• The Archers, Pikes, Kirks succeeded by being bold and daring, confronting dangers, fighting to survive. The Siskos and Burnhams instigated war on a galactic scale. They were violent, reactive, risk takers
• a couple centuries later, the Picards confronted greater obstacles but with reason, compassion, self-sacrifice. If Kirk had faced Q, that would have been the great filter, but Picard succeeded as a human evolved past his violent reactions

It’s unfortunate that waste disposal is one of those things that gets cut back (see, it doesn’t work. Let’s save money). I was pleasantly surprised by my town having more traditional service where they’ll pick up anything. For something big, like furniture, they want you to call ahead so they can send a flatbed, but they’ll take just about anything.

Meanwhile, my ex a couple towns over, has to pay per bag and you’re on your own for anything big
