Welcome to Lemmy.fan!

This instance succeeds on one simple mantra: Be kind, and do unto others as you have done to yourself. Consider for a moment that we're ALL on the the same rapidly-spinning, mostly-watery orb, hurtling through space at fantastic speeds, and trading metal and paper for our livelihoods. The unknown will always dwarf the known. Learning never ends. We may be experts in something, but no one person is an expert in all things.

Given that, here our are very simple

Rules

here's my nix config for hacking that I stripped from my general purpose configuration.nix

I'd like to add whatever other tools other professionals find useful for staying anonymous, reconning, fuzzing, reverse engineering... anything part of the work flow

{ config, pkgs, inputs,lib,  ... }:

  services = {
    tor = {

        addr = "127.0.0.1";
        port = 53;
      }];
    };
    resolved = {
      #enable = true; # For caching DNS requests
      fallbackDns = [ "" ]; # Overwrite compiled-in fallback DNS servers.
    };
  };
  # set hist size to 0 or 5
  # https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Encrypted_DNS
  networking.nameservers = [ "127.0.0.1" "::1" ];
  networking.dhcpcd.extraConfig = "nohook resolv.conf";
  networking.networkmanager.dns = "none";
  # Define a user account. Don't forget to set a password with ‘passwd’.
  users.users.yboutros = {
    isNormalUser = true;
    description = "ynotboutros";

Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me I.d my dreamcast, I cant seem to find anything online about it

I had a regular dreamcast as a kid but I bought this one a few years back for the nostalgia

Looking to sell it but not even sure what a fair price would be as I bought it many years ago for hardly anything and I'm not actually sure about what it even is

More discs are on the way this week as well, so be sure to watch for them.

It’s a slow morning for release news, but we do have a couple things for you.

...

Here’s something exciting: Decal and Neon are going to be releasing Pablo Berger’s animated Robot Dreams (2023) on Blu-ray on 10/8! I haven’t seen this yet, but a few friends have and they have great things to say about it.

...

And in other news, Synapse Films will release Mike Mendez’s The Convent (2000) in 4K on 10/8.

A24 and Lionsgate will release Ty West’s MaXXXine on Blu-ray and 4K UHD on 10/8.

Up until now, I've never bought a brand new guitar, so I figured I could make up for all those savings and get something nice!

Just ran across this in the newcommunities discussion. Figured I'd jump start a thread for people to chime in on.

  • What have you been playing lately?
  • Anything you're looking forward to?
  • What do you wish you could play, but never have the time or players?

Wanted to follow my friend That's in a Mastodon instance and I'm on a Sharkey instance I could see most of his posts but none of his boosts can sharky not see boosts?

Following change in Twitter's ownership and subsequent changes to content moderation policies, many in academia looked to move their discourse elsewhere and migration to Mastodon was pursued by some. Our study looks at the dynamics of this migration. Utilizing publicly available user account data, we track the posting activity of academics on Mastodon over a one year period. Our analyses reveal significant challenges sustaining user engagement on Mastodon due to its decentralized structure as well as competition from other platforms such as Bluesky and Threads. The movement lost momentum after an initial surge of enthusiasm as most users did not maintain their activity levels, and those who did faced lower levels of engagement compared to Twitter. Our findings highlight the challenges involved in transitioning professional communities to decentralized platforms, emphasizing the need for focusing on migrating social connections for long-term user engagement.

My wife and I go through about 4lbs a month using mainly Chemex and Areopress. Used to get (decent) crummy coffee at Aldi and Grocery Outlet, occasionally splurging for local roasts at the coffee shops. Still, I calculate that's about $35 or so a month on beans, Chemex filters should probably be calculated with how pricey they can be - napkin maths say $11 roughly for a months supply.

$46USD ain't bad compared to my other vices 😪

Curious to hear if I'm around the average spender or how it tracks! Maybe you have some tips on cheap but amazing coffee? I wouldn't know unless I asked y'all
