Feels like she’s being cast in everything, everywhere, all at once. Every third sci fi tv show is starring Michelle yeoh.

And I am 100% ok with that.

I can’t tell what this does from the site linked, but I said the apps name out loud and my cat came running.

One of the breville milk frothers: www.seriouseats.com/best-milk-frothers-5189329

It’s paid for itself since I make my own chai latte’s at home every morning. Impulse purchase that I’ve used every day for years.

I use tea bags, these ones which I find in the international / indian food section of a larger store: www.realcanadiansuperstore.ca/…/21050375_EA

I use a big travel mug so I toss 2 tea bags in and fill it about 1/2 way with water. While it steeps I put the milk in the frother and when it’s done, squeeze out the bags + pour the milk in. Add sugar as desired.

I’ve tried various loose leaf chai’s but I personally don’t find the difference in flavor worth the effort / price compared to these bags. Making it from scratch with spices is a lot of work and I’m way too lazy for that.

What’s her face from the show marrying the prince dude, also probably helped.

Community moderation and discussion

Greetings Blue Bird aficionados. We seem to be without our good friend and moderator, @imasnyper, this season. I’m thinking I might ask the lemmy.ca admins if they’ll add me as moderator to this community, as I’d like to update it and have it look more active. It might take me a while to figure out how Snyper set up the...

OctoPrint USB disconnects on Linux Mint at midnight? (pawb.social)

A new and bizarre issue has emerged on my Linux Mint server that seems specific to my Ender 3 and OctoPrint. Every night at midnight, regardless of whether a print is running or not, the USB connection to the Ender fails and restarts. (See screenshot from my Telegram OctoPrint plugin.) I’ve tried setting usb.autosuspend to -1...

Check out his earlier album Language of my World. It’s fantastic and a lot less poppy than his modern stuff.

Is there a name for this sort of object? I need something like this, but don't know what to type into the webs (lemmy.world)

I’m going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I’m currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they’re not great and need replaced (I’m a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better....

Not quite the same, but a hose clamp would probably work

100% yes if it’s failing. Buy an ssd and revel in the new speed, don’t do another spinning disk.

Paywall:

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection.

Known as Josh, Dean lived in Wichita, Kan., where Spirit is based. He was 45, had been in good health and was noted for having a healthy lifestyle.

He died after two weeks in critical condition, his aunt Carol Parsons said.

Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino said: “Our thoughts are with Josh Dean’s family. This sudden loss is stunning news here and for his loved ones.”

Dean had given a deposition in a Spirit shareholder lawsuit and also filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit.

Spirit fired Dean in April 2023, and he had filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging his termination was in retaliation for raising concerns related to aviation safety.

Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.

His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was airlifted from Wichita to a hospital in Oklahoma City, Parsons said. There he was put on an ECMO machine, which circulates and oxygenates a patient’s blood outside the body, taking over heart and lung function when a patient’s organs don’t work on their own.

His mother posted a message Friday on Facebook relating all those details and saying that Dean was “fighting for his life.”

This is such a great steam deck game to play casually while watching TV or something, horribly addictive too.

I don’t get all the Wesley hate.

No Star Trek character in franchise history has been more hated than Wesley Crusher

I don’t think this author watched past tng. Kai Winn and Dukat would like a word.

FROM (MGM+ 2024 Series) Season 3 - Official Tease (www.youtube.com)

FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

Can’t wait, I don’t normally like horror but the first two seasons were great.

Replace one disk, let the raid rebuild. Do the same with the other disk. Do an mdadm grow, then maybe fdisk / lvm / resize fs depending on your setup. Don’t forget to install a bootloader when you put a new disk in.

Making a new array and migrating data is for chumps.

Shadow, (edited )
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes it’s really that easy. Raid in Linux is usually at the partition level, not the whole device. The bootloader resides in the first few blocks of the disk before your partitions, and isn’t included in the raid.

Use grub-install on the new disk device, ie /dev/sda

Auto kill memory leaking processes before swap death loop

I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system...

Just turn off swap? You don’t really need it, and the kernel wiil just oom kill without it.

Shadow,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Well that’s technically correct, but if you’re so dependent on disk cache for system performance that you can’t live without it then you really need to look at doing an upgrade.

When a box swap deaths, it usually struggles to actually fill swap enough to have the kernel still OOM kill it at any point. Generally the massive performance impact of swapping just slows the app down to the point of being useless, along with the entire rest of the box. Disk cache should not be a concern during these abnormal events.

It takes a bit of effort to find these two pages talking about that:

Even urban dictionary says it’s not really used today, meanwhile there’s a very famous classic rock song called Ace of Spades.

I would encourage you to consider that OP didn’t have any malicious intent and was likely completely unaware of the derogatory meaning of the word, they also don’t seem to have any other troublesome posts in their comment history. Banning them seems like an overreaction and likely not conducive to fostering a community here, but it’s your call.
