politics @lemmy.world•Top Democrats re-introduce trans bill of rightsEnglish
4·5 days agoBecause you, and people like you, won’t show up to the polls if this is the focus of the next election. That’s what you’re trying not to say. You’re reminding us that the MAGAts are going to show up, but that you don’t find this issue compelling enough to actually turn out on election day, and you fear that too many others feel as you do.
I’d like to see trans protections and support included in a Universal Healthcare bill that puts the entire medical insurance industry out of business. The Universal Healthcare aspect is why I’m going to the polls, and it would be nice if there were some guarantees in that to ensure that trans care is included in “Universal”.
Universal Healthcare is what I will be looking for when I go to the polls this fall. While I’m there, I’ll support every trans issue I can find. Fortunately, there isnt much anti-trans horseshit from the people who support Universal Healthcare, nor anti-healthcare horseshit from the trans community. Support for either is support for both.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help making sense of IPs and A recordsEnglish
1·8 days agoIt depends on how you want to do it; how your reverse proxy server is setup. I use Pangolin running on a VPS as my proxy server. It uses a tunnel (“Newt”) between web servers running on my home network and the VPS, so I don’t need any open/forwarded ports on my home router.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help making sense of IPs and A recordsEnglish
13·8 days agoAn A record maps to an IP address. A CNAME record maps to another URL. Since you are trying to map to an IP address rather than a URL, you will want an A record.
If all of your sites will be served from the same proxy server at 204.230.30.104, you can create a single, wildcard A record for *.newexample.com. This will point every subdomain to your proxy’s IP address. You don’t need to create an A record for each subdomain.
If you are planning on serving some subdomains from 204.230.30.104 and other subdomains from another proxy at 69.4.20.187, you would need multiple A records for pointing the subdomains toward their respective proxies.
If you wanted to serve from proxy running on a dynamic IP address, and you’re using a DDNS provider to point newexample.ddns.net back to your current IP address, you could use a CNAME record to point newexample.com to newexample.ddns.net.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•If I hear "% is a mathematical operator" one more time...English
3·12 days agoModulo is much easier to understand with clocks.
Suppose It is currently midnight. What time will it be in 3 hours? 3 mod 24 = 3. It will be 03:00
What time will it be in 27 hours? 27 mod 24 = 3. We go through a whole day (24 hours) to get back to midnight, then continue another 3 hours, for a total of 27. The time will be 03:00.
What time will it be 48 hours from now? 48 mod 24 = 0. 48 hours from midnight will be midnight.
What time will it be 6 hours from now? 6 mod 24 = 6.
Conceptually, X mod Y means that instead of 24 hours per day, we are splitting the day into Y “hours”, labeled 0 to Y-1. We start at 0, and pass through X “hours”. X mod Y is the “hour” we finish up in at the end. 5 mod 2 means we have a 2-hour day, with hours 0 and 1. We pass through 5 of those hours. When we finish, are we at hour 0 or hour 1?

11·13 days agoAnyone talking about action against ICE agents has lost the plot. ICE is the symptom, not the disease. You don’t treat tuberculosis by targeting the coughing with Robitussin. You treat tuberculosis by targeting the bacteria with antibiotics. Address the cause of the problem, not the effect.
The person you need to be registering your complaint with is your local oligarch. Any action you want to take toward ICE, redirect it to the richest person within driving distance.

Technology@lemmy.world•New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into GasolineEnglish
1·22 days agoThere is another major advantage…
There is a major problem with solar and wind. Daily and seasonal variation in solar flux and wind speed forces us to size our renewable generators based on their minimum expected output. We have to install enough solar panels that we can supply our needs with only low-angle sunlight on short, winter days. But we won’t do that, because that many solar panels are about four times what we need to supply our needs on long summer days. With that much oversupply on the grid, generators won’t be able to command sufficient revenue to justify that number of panels. But we need that number of panels to supply our winter demands.
We can match a large percentage of daily variation with sufficient grid-scale storage. We fill up reservoirs with our excess mid-day production, and run that water through hydropower plants overnight. But it is simply not possible to expand storage sufficiently to match seasonal variation.
If we build out sufficient solar generation capacity to meet winter demand, we don’t need seasonal storage. The problem we have becomes one of seasonal oversupply. The solution to that problem is an increase in demand. We need energy-intensive products that can be brought online in daylight hours from spring to autumn, then shut down for winter.
Producing net carbon-zero fuels could very well create part of the demand needed to justify massive expansion of our renewable power grid.

3·22 days agoLiquid fuels have a couple advantages in certain scenarios. Aircraft, for example. The energy density of liquid fuels is considerably higher than batteries. Aircraft only take on as much fuel as they need to safely reach their destination. They takeoff with more weight than they can safely land, burning off fuel weight throughout their flight until they are light enough to land. Dumping fuel overboard to get down to landing weight in an emergency.
Switch these aircraft over to batteries, and their landing weight is the same as their takeoff weight. They carry the same “fuel” weight for a regional flight as they do for a maxinum-range flight.

politics @lemmy.world•‘What the f*ck did you do?!’ Video contradicts DHS claims about killing of Alex PrettiEnglish
9·23 days agoOk, I think I found the source of that discrepancy. He was a member of “AFGE”, the American Federation of Government Employees.
Being unfamiliar with that organization, I initially thought “AFGE” might have been an Air Force organization. I suspect someone else might have made this same initial assumption.
This comment thread is the only indication I’ve seen that he was associated with the military in any aspect other than his work for the VA.

37·24 days agoCite that claim. I’m not saying your wrong, but to my knowledge, he was a nurse working at a VA medical facility, rather than a veteran himself.
Edit: Found a brief biography: https://wisconsinwatch.org/2026/01/man-killed-by-border-patrol-officer-in-minneapolis-was-an-icu-nurse-who-grew-up-in-green-bay/
Boy Scouts, choir, high school, college, research scientist, nursing school, avid bike rider, new Audi. No mention of putting in 4+ years on a military career.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Best way to update a msi oled monitor with linux? It requires an exe and access to displayportEnglish
14·26 days agoYou evidently have displayport, so the solution seems pretty straightforward. Pull hard disks, install windows on a blank SSD. Send series of nastygrams to MSI.

Human intelligence is a spectrum. I would say that current LLMs are at about the 20th percentile on that spectrum.
That says more about my opinions on human intelligence than LLM…
