I prefer metric for everything but indoor/outdoor temperature. Fahrenheit is based on human comfort ranges and feels more precise when used for that

They did a lot of this in Los Angeles, and Governor Ronald Reagan and the NRA responded by working together to ban open carry of firearms in California
squinky@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?111·2 months agoBy making it so that social media can’t harm anyone, not just kids.
My mom was a chef, and she taught me some absolute basics like how to hold a knife and a couple of recipes. She also told me that when learning, if I mess up it’s okay, but try to eat everything you make to learn to taste what went wrong.
I got really good after I started watching “Good Eats”, though.
squinky@sh.itjust.worksto homeassistant@lemmy.world•How's your HA voice assistant going?English2·2 months agoMine stopped working and I can’t figure out how to fix it. I switched back and forth between cloud and local models and at some point it just died.

squinky@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?English11·5 months agoAll I know about ZFS is that there are weird patent or closed source encumbrances or something. I hear it’s good, and it seems popular, I just avoid proprietary Oracle products.
As for btrfs, the only thing that’s claimed to be unstable is raid 5 or 6. And people use it in production saying the claims are overblown. I don’t. I use it in raid1 mode. But raid1 in btrfs doesn’t require a bunch of matching drives. It lets you glom together a number of mismatched disks and just puts every block on more than one of them. So it’s a nice cross between a raid and LFS or JBOD.

squinky@sh.itjust.workstoMental Health@lemmy.world•Any of you tried DBT before? What did you think? Any thoughts on possible "victim-blaming" with it? (Sorry, I ramble.)English2·7 months agoMy therapist has done CBT and DBT with me. She told me that because I’m neurodivergent, I might respond better to DBT. The two seem rather different.
Going by your other comments I would assume you and I share a heavily (over-?)developed sense of injustice. It’s a pretty common neurodivergent trait, which I don’t know whether it applies to you but [gestures around at Lemmy]
Surprisingly, I responded better to CBT than to DBT. I couldn’t begin to claim to know why but I felt like it was more direct with regard to what I personally felt I needed to work on. That’s not a broad dismissal of DBT, though. Different things work for different folks.

squinky@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best tool for extracting these single line staples or whatever they are?19·8 months agoI think you said pliers weren’t doing the job. Grab them with vice grips (locking pliers) and use the claw side of a hammer to pull them off like a nail.
Same thing as personal carbon footprints. A meaningless change being pushed on individuals when their total contribution to the problem is a mere rounding error on the amount contributed by the big corporations
Bro was really into quadrants
