I don’t believe I have this issue. Been using boost for a while.

Advocacy group America’s Voice believes that U.S. rural and agricultural regions will likely be the hardest hit by Trump’s immigration policies, which threaten mass detention and deportation of millions.

Stunning!

I have talked to a real person at google a number of times in the past related to pixel support, as well as a few other topics. But it was YEARS ago. Just like every other company, it has gotten harder and harder to speak to a real person.

I tried this yesterday and just couldn’t deal with that ui. I did run across a post about using uBlock Origin to block posts and it seems to work quite well!

Ya, I get it for sure… I just do not want it consuming me which is is currently doing.

boost app for Lemmy has a nice word filter and trump has been added. I’m already exhausted. I wish there was an easy way to word block on the web, since I use that more than my phone. Clearly evident, I’m on ‘web’ now <sigh>

I probably just need to join and see if it’s good enough to try and migrate my circle(s) there. Obviously not all but enough.

I’m guessing no but I can hope.

Do you run your own server or just use a public one? Just poking my head into / heard about Friendica… Much like Lemmy though, we need some event (like the reddit crap) to break ‘a’ straw and move people over.

Is there a good primer on Friendica comparing it to, say, Facebook? similar/missing features etc?

What’s the equivalent easy(ish) to use / post replacement for them?

Ya, the problem is I primarily use a shield TV (on my TV) and I know there are things I can sideload but meh, I just cannot be bothered.

I can hide them for 30 days at a time on my PC and they don’t riddle my feed

I’m going to move all zero of my videos on TikTok over to X right after I don’t create another account on there.

TikTok has been DNS blocked (pihole) in my house for years and will continue to be whether it’s owned by someone in the US or not.

Wish I could easily block Reels, YT Shorts also. Short Form video is an ADD crock pot IMHO.

Being completely new it could be a number of things, but in my personal experience, if it’s not overuse (which yours could be) the wrong shoe can mess you up.

Some just are not compatible with you and will hurt things. Too much support, not enough support.

If it’s overuse you’ll need to figure out what’s irritated whatever is tight and possibly pulling on your knee making it hurt. Stretching / rolling would be a good start. EVERYTHING is connected and keeping all your fascia, and muscles lose will be beneficial.

It would be a shameful act by the US government.

So, for sure happening

Is this where they release the life ending microbe into the atmosphere wiping out the planet.

I’m sure a lot of people’s self hosting journey started on junk hardware… “try it out”, followed by “oh this is cool” followed by “omg I could do this, that and that” followed by dumping that hand-me-down garbage hardware you were using for something new and shiny specifically for the server.

My unRAID journey was this exactly. I now have a 12 hot/swap bay rack mounted case, with a Ryzan 9 multi core, ECC ram, but it started out with my ‘old’ PC with a few old/small HDDs

That might be it, but would an optical drive run off that? Guess it’s all the same power wires.

I’ve asked my dad to snap a picture if he doesn’t mind :) but it’s a bit of a pain to get to

I didn’t have anything at the house to split off the sata power and I was ok getting rid of my spare stuff so it worked out better anyway

no, this thing had a separate power/data. It was a normal sized optical drive (old thick size). I’m going to see if I can get my dad to snap a picture. They’re 600 miles away so I can’t just do it real quick.

Like a tiny proprietary connector, not Molex, not SATA. So the power supply had a single line running to the spinner HDD (standard SATA), and then piggy backed off that to the optical drive was this little connector. Kind of looked like a 4pin fan connector size. I didn’t bother investigating after my plan to just disconnect the optical drive was thwarted <sigh>
