I’ve backed Impact! Miniatures before and it’s always been great.

I really like that odd-numbered dice even exist. It sounds like a what-if that was taken too far. And it turned out great.

> What about a unique way to show curses and disadvantages to your players. Impact!'s cursed dice allow you to give your players a unique die to use for the session to show the effect of their misguided actions. A D19 to show a curse that prevents criticals and natural 20s. Along with several other different dice to disadvantage rolls in many creative ways. > >These dice were designed to be as fair as possible for an odd sided die. All the sides are equal sized and equal distant from the center mass. Each die was created by a specialist trained in working with geometeric design. > >These odd dice are all new molds and modified designs by Impact! We've learned from our attempts to make odd sided dice in the past and these dice are brand new designs to make sure the dice stop faster by being larger and designed to have better defined stopping surfaces. The new designs are also easier to read with larger fonts and better extras to show you the top value being rolled.

I saw one show in the middle of the road, so I moved it to the curb. I walked a bit further and found the other shoe on the side of the road. When I came back through the second shoe was still there, so I carried it to back to be reunited with the first. No clue if their owner ever found them. They must have been on someone’s car and fell off at different times. Both were near curves in the road.

I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.

I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.

When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?

edit: Thank you to all who answered! I’m amazed at how many ways you came up with to answer this.

I have a computer running what I think at the time was called Ubuntu Server (no GUI) that I installed Xfce on, making it essentially Xubuntu. I did this because it allowed me to use mdadm to set up RAID (4 drives; RAID 5) during the OS install.

My OS lives on an NVME drive, and I have my raid mounted at /Files.

I have lots of data in my RAID, and much (but not all!) is backed up to the cloud. There would be both emotional issues and lots of time required to fix things if I lose the RAID or the data on it.

(I am realizing as I write this that I put off upgrading so long, I can probably copy all the data to one 20TB drive (oof! That’s expensive) since they’ve gotten about as big as my 21.83TB volume.)

How safe is it to take the OS up on this offer?

New release '20.04.6 LTS' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

How hard is it to reestablish the RAID if it forgets it exists?

Is there anything else I can do to make this more likely to “just work”? (Like: don’t do it over ssh)

Are there other factors I am not thinking of?

I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:

First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.

Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.

I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?
