Empathy at what my American friends are going through, and dread about our own incoming conservative wave.

My understanding is that if they charge him, it being in a state court means Trump can't pardon him if he wins.

It's not the postgres db, it's the internal pictrs db.

Fix your docker volume permissions so pictrs can write to the folder

Make sure your power supply is rated for high enough watts/amps.

I think it would be fine. You'll never try to charge it obviously.

Will the laptop be happy with that though? It might be expecting communication with the BMS. I'd just try it and see.

Whenever I read about this stuff it seems to be such a paltry sum, like $10k. I don't understand why someone would do it for so little.

If in betraying my country, I want at least my own fully staffed super yacht.

If my dog has poop stuck to his butt he comes over and whimpers at me for help. My cat smears it all over my floor.

He was always a scum bag, but 911 made him seem like a golden boy for a little while.

 

I've been messing around with circuits my entire life but this design was time sensitive and I've never done my own PCB designs before, so I hired someone to put this together. After getting some test boards, when I plug them in the charger chip gets very hot and smells like burning....

Circuit is just a simple li-ion usb charger and a switch. I've gone through the datasheet for the bq25302 more times than I can count and I'm missing something obvious here. Using it just for delivering power seems to work fine, the problem is only when charging.

I do see R6 + R7 off TS don't have the recommended 10k values, but I don't feel like that would cause what I'm seeing. This is being connected to a 21700 lipo.

Someone mind lending me their eyes please?

Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?

I can't find anything in any menus.

Heads up for anyone running mlmym on their instance, your site is probably being used for google SEO manipulation: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/101

 

First off before we get into this I want to make clear that I'm not just throwing shade at the specific instance involved, and I'd also like to avoid focusing on the specific content of thread. I think this is a larger issue that warrants an open discussion, this could have happened with any other instance on a wide variety of thread topics.

Context:

  1. Swordgeek@lemmy.ca created this thread asking for people to resist Tucker Carlson being allowed into Canada - https://lemmy.ca/post/12683277
  2. A user on a very large instance reported the thread with the reason "Inciting Illegal Behavior"
  3. This report was seen and cleared by lemmy.ca admins, as it didn't violate any rules and definitely wasn't inciting any illegal behavior
  4. The external admins removed the post based on the report
  5. Sworkgeek was DM'ed by automod to let him know, otherwise he would have no idea the largest lemmy user base can't see his thread
  6. Swordgeek asked about cross-instance removals here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12724897
  7. Swordgeek asked about appeals for the removal here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12789496

There's more discussion around this in the threads linked above, they're worth a quick read.

TLDR: swordgeek made a post asking for political action and someone reported it with a fake reason, and an admin on a large instance removed the post. This removal would only impact their users, giving a largwe lemmy user base a selectively censored view of the lemmy.ca community.

It concerns me greatly that a lemmy instance can act as a censor and push the biases of their admins, on users who are completely unaware it's happening. It also concerns me that a user could manipulate other users, if admins aren't looking closely at the reports they get and just blindly remove things.

IMHO instance admins should not be moderating communities, that is the job of the community mods. Admins should only be involved in urgent + serious reports that are for things like CSAM, dox'ing, death threats, etc. All other reports should be left up to the moderators of the community to deal with.

If an instance wants to block a specific community or defederate then by all means, but instances selectively censoring content in a non-visible way? No thanks.

Can we have some sort of group policy that major instance admins should restrict their moderation activities, to significant rule violations?
