I guess it’s the same on other servers
In this case it isn’t. Lemmy.today federates with fedinsfw.app.
- Comment on Adding a Sever 1 day ago:
@one_old_coder@piefed.social As you are on lemmy.today, which federates with fedinsfw.app (lemmy.today/instances), you should be able to subscribe to (join) communities on fedinsfw, e.g. lemmy.today/c/fedinsfw@fedinsfw.app .
Maybe you need to unblock visibility of posts flagged as nsfw to see any content in the spicy communities. - Comment on Adding Server 1 day ago:
Yes, it can do both, Lemmy and Piefed.
- Comment on Adding Server 2 days ago:
Fedinsfw is a Piefed instance. Maybe “Voyager for Lemmy” doesn’t support it (yet).
- Comment on Which emitter should I get for the Convoy T6 flashlight? 3 days ago:
I find 3000 K a realy warm tone, similar to candlelight.
Looking at the product I also can’t find a charging port, nor do they mention a charging functionality in the text. However, the flashlight will have lots more power if used with a Lithium battery instead of an alkaline / NiMH battery (5A @ 3.6 V) vs. (0.5 A @ 1.5/1.2 V).
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 1 week ago:
The larger the tyre (diameter), the higher the top speed achievable practically
A larger wheel allows a smoother ride as a smaller wheel and thus allows for higher speeds on uneven ground.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 1 week ago:
the magnitude of the rotational inertia […] is roughly the same or maybe a bit higher on larger wheels that are probably heavier
The rotational moment of inertia increases a lot due to the larger diameter J ~ m r^2. Even if the masses were the same, the relatively heavy tyre and the rim are further away from the wheel hub.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 1 week ago:
For a road bike, you want to minimize the contact area of the tire with the road so you have very narrow tires and inflated a lot so that they don’t deform much under your weight.
It’s slightly different:
-
As the top speed of a road bike makes air resistance (drag) an important factor, road bikes use narrow tyres, resulting in a smaller silhouette area than a wide tyre (on a rim of the same diametre) would have.
-
As the rolling resistance increases with the length of the contact area, with the same internal pressure (inflation), i.e. same area of contact, narrow tyres have a higher rolling resistance than wide tyres. Thus, to (over-)compensate and decrease the length of the area of contact the internal pressure of road bike tyres is much larger than of normal, wider tyres.
As a result, narrow tyres of road bikes have smaller drag and due to over-compensation by inflation an even lower rolling resistance than standard bike tyres.

- Comment on If a person were paranoid about a potential food shortage in the next two to three years, what should they stock up on now? 1 week ago:
The downside of dried beans, pasta, etc. is that the need to be cooked, beans even for a long period of time. Canned food however can even be eaten cold without heating up.
- Comment on How well do desktop ice maker hold up to hard water? Do they go super crusty and hard to clean? Can you run vinegar through them? 1 week ago:
Vinegar is supposedly relatively aggressive an can harm seals. Citric acid is better.

TIL. Thank you.

Probably the mentioned post:
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
You should obviously improve your reading skills.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
No, the argument is not required, the command is valid. It’s intentional and a neat feature that
rm -rfalone without a specified file does nothing.See e.g.: unix.stackexchange.com/a/553741
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
The question is:
what happens when you give the command in the command line rm -rf ?
rm -rf *or hererm -rf testare different commands. - Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Exactly, but that wasn’t the question.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
No, it does nothing.
$ mkdir test $ cd test ~/test$ touch 1 2 3 4 5 ~/test$ rm -rf ~/test$ ls 1 2 3 4 5
- Comment on Is there a sublemmy where people suggest ideas for a sublemmy? specifically, a sublemmy to review fediverse instances. 3 weeks ago:
AfaIk, they’re officially called communities.
- Comment on : Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures? 4 weeks ago:
As OP is asking about dreaming, I think “seeing” means pictures or brains produce during dreams that appear to the dreamer as if they were perceived through their eyes.
- Comment on Has anyone else noticed the strong pro CCP and anti-west vibes here? 4 weeks ago:
The votes are federated. A CCP critic post by a LW user in an LW community can be up/downvoted by users on any instance that LW is federating with, including tankie-heavy flagship instance
lemmy.ml. - Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 5 weeks ago:
Oh gosh! It sounds like the russian was coming.
It’s probably because of its problem in pronouncing the “i” correctly. (Probably only Germans will get that joke) - Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 5 weeks ago:
Woodpeckers also do twitter.
- Comment on if all birds sing and if they do why do geese honk, ducks quack, and chickens bawk? 5 weeks ago:
Crows, jays and woodpeckers are songbirds too.
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 5 weeks ago:
Both definitions seem to be present:
In computing, text-based user interfaces (TUI) (alternately terminal user interfaces, to reflect a dependence upon the properties of computer terminals and not just text), is a retronym describing a type of user interface (UI) common as an early form of human–computer interaction, before the advent of bitmapped displays and modern conventional graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. A TUI is not a replacement for a GUI where human interaction is essential to the process.
You’re thinking of a CLI, a TUI allows for human interaction.
- Comment on What does non-gui mean ? 5 weeks ago:
As you said, that’s an example of a CLI, yet a TUI would be something different, e.g. like the non-graphical installer of your dear Linux distribution.
- Comment on Should street racers who accidentally kill people really go to prison? 1 month ago:
By that definition shooting into a crowd with a gun would not qualify for murder unless the perpetrator had the intention to kill (dolus directus). Other criteria are malice aforethought and dolus eventualis.

In France, it was red wine and condoms. But you do you.
- Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him? 2 months ago:
His family name is Julius Caesar. Gaius is his given name.
- Comment on Why is society at large okay with euthanasia for pets but not for humans? 2 months ago:
^* human life, not humans. Being confined like a potted plant is considered acceptable for a person in a coma or with a severe disabilities, but not for a pet.
