Thank you for the link.

The full page, and explanation at the bottom captures the thinking. (I don't expect perfection from humans. I would like us to work on improving.)

Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

This is billionaires fighting. Notice how pathetic they both are.

Greif and loss. The first year is the worst.

Might be time to focus on processing the loss of your previous hopes, dreams, relationships, and projects.

Those analysts were stupid.

I hope Everyone has notes and is avoiding those that lied to them.

TIL The ancient Romans created an artificial sweetener called "Sugar of Lead" by corroding lead in vinegar. It has a mildly sweet taste and also causes brain damage in c/til@lemmy.world

They had a lot of names for it.

"salt of Saturn"

And a lot if uses.

How much would cause brain damage, and how much brain damage did the average Roman have?

How does a layperson do a differential diagnosis? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Given this definition: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/22327-differential-diagnosis

Your healthcare provider will compile a differential diagnosis, which is a list of conditions that share the same symptoms to help make a final diagnosis. The differential diagnosis will direct your healthcare provider to offer tests to rule out conditions and lead them to find the cause of your symptoms.

Seems one builds a list of other things that could be the answer. Then one rules those things out.

Seems a lot like building a hypothesis (ensuring it is falsifiable), and then proving it wrong.

Edit: In "Clue", I make suggestions in the late game where I expect only one part is falsifiable.

How would a civil war in the USA even work?

Seriously. I have zero clue.

Maybe calling for a civil war is not helpful.

In the meantime, consider gun training, https://socialistra.org/, or getting in shape, or prepping to help your neighbors in a natural disaster.

That would be a lot in c/microblogmemes@lemmy.world

If "social media" is telling you that, then stop seeing "social media". Only spend time with those that pump you up.

You are wonderful, just the way you are.

One Solution for Jellyfin Library Scan Hangs - No Errors Logged, CPU Idle (midwest.social)
 

Hoping this helps someone in the future... (Likely myself when I forget all of this and reinstall.)

Setup: "OS install" of Jellyfin on Debian with package 10.10.7+deb11. Videos hosted on a FreeBSD and mounted with NFSv3.

When scanning libraries to find new videos, either the scan pauses midway through indefinitely, or completes quickly. CPUs are idle, several Jellyfin processes in state "D". No information logged in Jellyfin logs. One error in dmesg note about nfs lock files (one every few hours).

Can partly diagnose with these commands from https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-v14-1-release-p3-nfsv3-no-lock-available.94531/ and user "tanis":

touch /data/test/myfile
# obtain nfs lock from FreeBSD client
lockf /data/test/myfile true && echo ok || echo nok
# obtain nfs lock from Linux client
flock /data/test/myfile true && echo ok || echo nok

If the flock hangs, then the fix is to disable NFS locking. Add "nolock" to the NFS mount options.

After remounting and starting the scan, the Jellyfin processes should produce a lot of CPU load and network traffic.

Discussion: Why did the scan work completely for one and only one folder? I suspect ffprobe was not invoked for the successful run, but my other folders have home movies and are not easily detected.

Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters? (midwest.social)

Is there a tested way to keep water from a very small pool safe week to week? Think of the ~20 cm deep hard plastic ones meant for children.

I can water the plants, but I would like to reuse the water all summer. I imagine a closed cycle container with a filter, pump, and chlorine in a 50 gal drum. While I could devise my own, it seems best not to.

Thanks!

What products should be produced locally? (midwest.social)
 

I am looking for ideas on what products should be produced locally. Not things that your area can do sn awesome job at and export. Rather things that should be locally produced near everyone.

Feel free to define "locally" as you wish. I am thinking with 5 miles, but with 200 is also good.

Please include your reasoning. Everything from shipping costs, to ownership "punch-ability" are great.

I will kick things off in the comments.
