Do you use poweroff or suspend on your Linux systems? Why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I use the hybrid: suspend to ram, then after 2 hours, automatically suspend to disk - in the final state it uses zero power. And, if you have encrypted your drive (you DO encrypt your drives, right?!) then you need to enter passphrase on resume from hibernate, so safer if device was nicked.

I agree with negligent! Using suspend to ram for extended periods, eg nightly or over weekend will kill your battery life.

Is there a federated or open source search engine alternative? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Wait what's up with nova?

Good app to get a 3d layout of a room? Possibly a FLOSS one. in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, understood. I used the desktop application, never tried online or on android. Good luck!

I've used this before. It's FLOSS

Are silent notifications needed for background services? (lemmy.world)
 

Silent notifications are annoying me, they put up icons by the clock and make me think I have something to notice but it's just a service.

E.g. ntfy

If I go to app management screen I can disable notifications but I'm unclear if that means the background service doesn't run as it should - I'm sure I've seen something about that somewhere.

I'm on android 15. Thanks in advance!

Lemmy Android App Comparison in c/askandroid@lemdro.id
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is there any difference between vger.app the website and the android app? I'm just using the website version which is great, but perhaps there's advantage to the app?

PHP-FPM and too many requests in c/php@programming.dev
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right Thanks. So I think php might queue then forget some requests, because I've had this behaviour without too much traffic. I just don't know how to reproduce it, but maybe I'll try with that listen backlog setting, thanks for tip.

PHP-FPM and too many requests (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed that if you have too few pm_children set then some requests hang until timeout. This surprised me - I'd expect an immediate error, but it's more like a tarpit! For ages I was thinking my server was not performant, then I noticed via top that it wasn't doing or waiting while the browser was.

I have two questions:

  1. If you have pm_max_children=1 and you occupy that and submit another request, what actually happens? (I'm proxying through nginx.) HTTP doesn't have a "40_ Come back later".

  2. (if life deals you lemons...) if you can generate a tarpit that doesn't use server resources, this could be quite useful to know about too!

Trump's Executive Order Against Trans People Technically Makes Every American Female in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago

Believing in a binary is ignoring factual reality. It would be like saying we shouldn't believe in carbon or oxygen in the universe because 99.8 percent of all elements are either hydrogen or helium.

love this!

How's your week been? in c/trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] nettie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Started seeing a counsellor to help me process stuff. Feels more productive than calling Samaritans again, but it's good they are there, v grateful. Being genderfluid is tiring because one moment I know what I want, clear as day, the next I don't feel it.

Haha, yes quite.

Extracts from 2nd link that stood out to me

most evidence to date reveals a much larger contribution of sex-related hormones compared to sex-related genes to the sexual differentiation of the rodent brain and behavior

...

studies revealed that feminization and masculinization are independent processes rather than two poles of a continuum

...

And adding to the first link:

[brains whose features align clearly at either male or female end are] low (0% to 8%) and much lower than the number of mosaic brains (23% to 53%), that is, brains in which at least one feature was at the “femaleend” zone and one feature was at the “male-end” zone...

A personal take on how I experience gender.

EDIT - more context would have helped as

I'm not trying to propose some simplified mathematical fits all graph here.

I'm struggling, having been out as non binary for about 5 years, with the idea that trans woman might be a better introductory starting point label for me. I understand gender as complex - far more complex than a 2 line graph sketch - but drew the graph to hone in on MY experience with fluidity. I was interested in my strength/clarity of feeling at different points.
