What is a genetic modification that would cause a massive chain reaction to possibly horrific effects?
  • Mhh, insects in general IIRC are also constrained by the fact they have exoskeletons: i.e. their internal organs are just in a bag. So they can't grow too much or they just squish I think.

    Imagine them being able to become vertebrates. You can have insects the size of cats I think before the osmosis breathing tubes they currently have are not a thing. Lungs would be the next thing I guess.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a biologist and just make stuff up from what I remember from high school biology, and it was last millennium!

    What are some things I can do during an ad break?
  • make a grocery shopping list (or any to-do list)

    Stretch your legs by raising them straight (still sitting down) and rotate your feet

    Stretch your arms up and move your neck, rotate your shoulders

    Think what went well today

    Is it worth getting professional certifications while in a job?
  • Yes, for mainly 2 reasons:

    • it shows your employer that you are willing to learn and grow (and they could even pay for it)
    • it adds value to your CV in case you want to leave

  • Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

    I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

    I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.

    I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thanks!

    The one on top is my levain starter, bottom is kimchi (first aattempt, fingers crossed!).

    I just find it funny that they are in their cozy corner bubbling away together 😄

    Hi everyone! Can someone please recommend a game without monsters (but with animals)? I am running my minetest server at home and I'd like to start playing with my kid, but I really don't like the monsters bit. I just want a game where we can explore and build things together.

    Thanks!

    ETA: For anyone looking for the same thing: I've added the option

    only_peaceful_mobs = true

    in minetest.conf under minetest/data/games/mineclone2

    I've waited for the next night cycle and no monsters spawned. But a cow mooing behind me scared lol.

    Thanks to @GrappleHat@lemmy.ml for the tip!

    Hello everyone! I currently selfhost a matrix server but, seeing everyone talking about xmpp, I decided to try again with that one. I did try about 8-9 years ago but couldn't make it work (don't remember the issue, probably pebkac).

    My requirements are:

    • e2ee (I see OMEMO is the solution for this);
    • audio/video calls (looks like all the main clients/servers supports this with SIP or similar);
    • whatsapp bridge: this is very important as I currently use my matrix with element to chat (not calls) with all the whatsapp contacts.

    Would be nice if the server runs with docker images (but I see Prosody has the option so not an issue).

    So basically I am a bit stumped only on the whatsapp bridge thing. I see some github repos for that but they all seem quite old.

    Any help, pointers, suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Unless you are in dangerously high winds (like shit-flying-around-winds), when you cut the string on a kite it comes down. Sadly and floppily.

    Edit: spelling

    May the uptime be long and the logs without errors (and not just because logging is broken!)

    Hello there! I've been hosting different kind of services for some time, and I would like to self host a server of minecraft for my kids to use. Basically I want a walled garden solution where he can play but no external access (for external users I mean).

    I have a server with docker and hosting the server looks simple. I did spun up a bedrock (I think? Can't remember for sure) server. My problem is: how do I access it? I don't see a "custom server" option in the official android client (he will play from a tablet at first). Can someone point me in the right direction?

    TIA
