Mmm, like writing myspace profiles back in the day... I kinda dig that!

Thanks again for tackling that so quickly! I honestly didn't expect anything for a long while!

Amazing! Thank you! Definitely works.

Though, will it eventually become a checkbox for the specific hide score feature? Or could there be some kind of documentation for the other portions of the interface that might be able to be modified with this? An open-ended text box to put some code seems like a good way to confuse people who don't know the underlying code. It kinda feels like the old days of hunting for cheat codes in game magazines.

Interestingly, the score is still visible in the page inspector, but I'm not THAT addicted to post score, so it's not a problem lol. (I went to check to see what the page code looked like to try and understand what exactly was happening)

That solidifies my suspicion that it's a standard Android feature... I also don't get many spam calls, and only distinctly remember performing that action on this most recent phone.

Based on OP's comment "...I always assume that rejecting the call outright will also be detected as a deliberate action and therefore a person is on the other side...", I figured maybe they didn't know about that feature and/or have an iPhone and they somehow don't behave that way.

I also miss the old days of Android... I got a smartphone specifically to play Pokemon go in 2016 lol, up until that point I was still rocking one of those Casio Gzone indestructible flip-phones. Walked into WalMart, bought the cheapest LG whatever phone I could find (Android 5 I think?), caught a bazillion Pokemon. I remember buying multiple batteries for longer sessions, because you could just pop the back off and replace it on the go.

They run a custom vendor-locked distro named QTS, so they're not really as easy to modify as a normal system, I don't think you can even install programs like that.

I'll definitely bookmark it though if I ever get around to building my own solution, thanks!

At least on the default web-view, if you hover over the score, it displays a tooltip with both values.

In the post template, the ```

<span>

  that holds the {{comment.up_votes - comment.down_votes}} score value just has it's global title attribute set to "{{ comment.up_votes }}, {{ comment.down_votes }}", so it's using the native title tooltip.  

    

Displaying both instead of relying on the hover tooltip that probably doesn't work well on mobile should be even more trivial than hiding the value, but again I just think in if statements.
  

I don't know if it's a universal thing, I've never bothered to research further. On my several-year-old Oneplus phone (Android), if I single-press the power button, it mutes the ringer and vibrate but the call doesn't end or reject (I could still then go and answer or reject the call normally, it doesn't affect the user interface, just the ringer/vibrate). That's how I've been "rejecting" unknown calls for a long time. A simple, elegant solution that doesn't give the caller any hints.

I have no idea if it's a QNAP-wide issue, or just some specific models, I haven't bothered to do that much research. I'm guessing that the discs WOULD spin down if you have that option selected if they weren't constantly being pinged a couple times a minute. That constant pinging is the part I can't seem to track down.

An excerpt from a post I was reading while researching this sums it up prettt well: "700 posts about spindown/sleep/standby not working in the QNAP HDD Spin Down Forum. No one seems to be able to resolve it. Qnap clearly couldn't care less."

The only solution that I've found that seems to work is to install some other operating system on it, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying a turn-key NAS, and is slightly outside my comfort zone right now. I just ordered a kill-a-watt, so I'll see how much power it's taking with/without drives and go from there if it's worth my time to dive into an OS swap, or building a custom rig.

I'm very excited about this weekend.

Some new friends I made recently invited me to a craft night at their house with a few other people on Saturday. This may seem mundane, but I haven't actually went and hung out with a group of people since before the pandemic. I lost a lot of my good friends and connections in ~2020, none of us were particularly good at long-distance friendship, plus in the 5 years since, I've had multiple dysfunctional relationships that have kept me out of the "real world". Since I'm newly single again and have no intention of dating anyone anytime soon, I'm working to get back in touch with some friends I haven't talked to in a long time, make new friends, and get back out there and work on my social life. This simple craft night is really my big first step, and it means way more to me than these friends might ever know. I'm sure it will be great fun, but I'm still a little nervous!

On Sunday, I'm going to a picnic! Another activity I haven't participated in in many years. A political action group I joined has a really tight-knit core group of 6-8 of us that I've become really good friends with, and this is our first "extra-curricular" activity outside the scheduled events and weekly meetings. I'm very excited for this, too, for almost the exact reasons as above. I have no idea what food I am going to bring... Maybe I'll throw together a fruit bowl, that'd be nice and refreshing.

Just posts/comments. It's a place for lighthearted, general conversation, and a place to be friendly.

I'm also pretty new, but I understood it as basically just like random ice-breakers or questions or conversations you'd have with some stranger you just met at the bar.

The sidebar has some simple rules to follow.

If you can figure out how to get a qnap to spin down its disks, please let me know lol. I've been searching for months and haven't found a reliable solution. I basically only need to access it once a day at MOST, so having the disks spinning away for like 99% of their life sucking down power is something I'd like to avoid. The problem seems to be that even with a perfectly clean slate, no services running, the system set up in their own RAID0 SSD pool, the HDD's, even with 0 bytes of data on them, are being pinged for access at least once a minute. I'm assuming it's some log being written to, but it's not anything visible in the file system, and I haven't been able to find any solution online, lots of people seem to have the same issue.

I'm tempted more and more every day to just grab one of those low-power embedded ITX boards and build up a custom rig. Other than the disk spinning constantly, the TS-462 does everything I need perfectly.

I've been building a small 10" server rack and have also been using the bone PLA for the "beige" parts to match my stack of variously-yellowed desktops, but yeah, this will be awesome to have "authentic" beige! The bone white is a little too brown/tan if you look too hard.

I should pre-order some. I wonder if it will be a constant offering, or if I should order like 4 rolls haha.

I discovered my all-time favorite video a while ago, and I feel like yes, sometimes the simplest most descriptive title is the best. Not quite as old as some of the ones here, but still, over a decade. Man time flies.

Skateboarder Shits his Pants

It's been 2 years, I have no idea. I definitely know that I didn't consciously choose to start hyperventilating and losing the edges of my vision... It's not like it's anything I worry about now, it was a highly situational kind of anxiety. I know I just need to suck it up and make an appointment.

Reasonable, logical thoughts would lead one to think that way... But unfortunately, anxiety works in mysterious ways.

I had a good streak of going every 6 months for almost a decade. One day I had an appointment in the afternoon, and was on my way to the office when a line of severe thunderstorms rolled through, it was super windy, crazy thunder, and pounding rain.

The thought of sitting in the chair with tools in my mouth if the power went out was enough to send me into a panic attack. I had to pull over. I calmed myself down, turned around and went home and no-showed the appointment and ignored all their calls... That break in the routine made it REALLY hard to get back into the routine. I'm in the process of making a lot of other positive changes in my life right now, so I just need to be strong and include the thing I don't want to do but I know I NEED to.

I'm currently in the process of somewhat neglecting my dental needs... I brush every day, but I'm pretty sure I've had a cavity or two for a while, and haven't been to the dentist in almost 2 years, despite having dental insurance... I just REALLY hate the dentist.

I know I am going to regret it someday soon. Maybe I can use this as a kick in the pants to finally at least try and make an appointment lol

I got my first at 31 (33 now). I have 2 now, and have plans for more. I was constantly wishy washy about what I'd want, and decided to just do something simple for my first, I got the outline of the James Webb Space Telescope main mirror on the back of my calf. Figured someday I could either fill it in with some cool space-y patterns, or incorporate it into some other piece. For a while I thought about filling it with parts of the first JWST deep-field shot, and also getting a bee with a space helmet (since the mirrors are hexagonal it kinda looks like a honeycomb, and bees are cool), but I couldn't figure out any way to make a bee look reasonable with a space helmet, so dropped the bee plan lol.

My second, I got a Figbash riding a unicycle above my left kneecap at a halloween flash event on Cape Cod to benefit the Edward Gorey House museum. I love my silly little guy and it's made me want some more silly little guys. Specifically, the "tines" fork driving a racecar from the valentines day Teen Girl Squad episode, and a design I saw for Richard Scarry's Lowly Worm driving his apple car, but the car was a skull instead of an apple. I can't actually find any photos of Figbash healed up, and I can't get to him when wearing pants so I can't take one now, but he looks great and I have no regrets.

I've never been to a large outdoor festival, but I saw Nekrogoblikon a few weeks ago (again, for the 3rd time), and each time I see them, they step their game up so SO hard.

I don't actually remember the specifics of the first time I saw them, but it wasn't anything crazy special, besides having John on stage. This was like 2018 or 2019 after they released Welcome to Bonkers.

The second time in 2022, they toured with Gwar, and that was great. Dickie Allen filled in on vocals because the vocalist was sick, which was pretty awesome.

This last time, they headlined. Fog machines, laser light show, a giant inflatable goblin head, and a constant supply of balloons to bop around in the air. The pit was the biggest I have ever seen at the venue (I go to a lot of shows there), the energy was insane, and it was super courteous and there was not a ton of crowd killing, because there was barely any crowd that didn't want in on the action. I think their vocalist maybe left the band? Because Dickie Allen was back lol. Hearing John Goblikon say "Well, you guys moshed SO good on that last one... Do you think we can all do a wall of death?"... It was like that viral Knocked Loose video, except smaller because the venue is smaller. It was the most fun moshing I've had in a long time.

I already hopped to piefed! Figured I literally just started posting with my lemm.ee account yesterday, might as well move my account somewhere else asap.

I say give it a go.
