Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are there any songs or albums for which you prefer the live version?
3·2 months agoLed Zeppelin - How the West Was Won
I’d heard many times from people who were old enough to see them live that it was a completely unique experience, describing how the band fed off the energy of the crowd.
Didn’t fully comprehend the magnitude of that truth until I heard that live album. I’ve heard other live albums from other artists where it was performed roughly the same as the studio version with the further addition of a cheering crowd. This was a completely different animal.
How The West Was Won really showcased how malleable a work is in the hands of truly talented artists.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Solved] What are the reasons behind the “no booby-traps” laws in the US? Are there similar laws in Canada?
871·2 months agoAs others have said, the mailbox and booby-trap laws aren’t the same thing.
Setting aside basic morality for a second, and strictly from a societal organizational perspective of which is the purpose of law, they’re incompatible with the reality of society.
For starters, there is literally nowhere you can put one that society has agreed is off limits in all circumstances forever, which is important because the nature of a trap is that they can survive longer than whoever set it.
Consider your neighbor witnesses you clutch your chest and collapse in your home so they call 911, and the first responders get blasted by a tripwire shotgun. Consider you get hit by a car and die, and your next of kin come to gather your belongings and meet the same fate. Consider you booby trap a basement closet, get dimentia, and your homecare worker gets blasted because you forgot you even did that when you were young and insane rather than merely old and demented.
By nature of a booby trap, you can’t foresee who will trip it or why. You’ve surrendered contextual judgement. It strictly CAN NOT be proportional.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Parents of Lemmy, would you have your kids keep the bedroom door open when the gender they were attracted to comes over?
33·2 months agoIf my kid grows up to be half as good looking as his mother and half as lucky as his father, it’s already going to be a perfect storm. The forces at play would far exceed the power of any door.
If you’re just running a few services, and will only ever be running a few services, I agree with you.
The additional burden of starting with proxmox (which is really just debian) is minimal and sets you up for the inevitable deluge of additional services you’ll end up wanting to run in a way that’s extensible and trivially snapshotable.
I was pretty bullish on “I don’t need a hypervisor” for a long time. I regret not jumping all-in on hypervisors earlier, regardless of the services I plan to run. Is the physical MACHINEs purpose to run services and be headless? Hypervisor. That is my conclusion as for what is the least work overall. I am very lazy.
Easily can have multiple LXCs, and being able to take snapshots for backup is probably a nice thing to have if you’re just learning.
And if they get more hardware, moving VMs to other clustered proxmox instances is a snap.

What is a first edition holographic charizard worth? What is the utility of that card?
Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them.
You can’t eat a Bitcoin for sustainance. Or hammer a nail with it. You can’t do either of those things with a pokemon card either.
I feel like you get this, based on your post… But you still are hung up by it.
Bitcoin’s attractive utility for many is that you can transfer them pretty much unimpeded by any external entity. Like a government for example.
Like, hypothetically, what if you wanted to send a million dollars to your family back in, I dunno, Hong Kong. Do you think you can put that in a suitcase and hop on a plane? Do you think your bank will just send that wire? No. Government needs to know about it.
You can send a million dollars worth of Bitcoin, though. No problem.
What about if the government decides to seize your assets, for whatever reason? Maybe you were a little too loud about your support of Palestine and a man child president decided to make an example of you? They can raid your home. They can seize your bank accounts. Can they get your Bitcoin? Nope (if you’re actually holding it yourself)
What sets Bitcoin apart from other currencies is that it’s very government resistant. You CAN hold it yourself. Not digitally in a bank. Not as bills under your mattress. It cant be seized.
How much SHOULD Bitcoin be worth, given the utility it provides? No idea. But it’s something.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The Mayor of Calgary, Canada, just received this warning letterEnglish
13·4 months agoBased on this I can only imagine they must have full throated support of the green line which would reduce intra-city traffic to allow for greater available capacity for provincial traffic.
At work whenever we need to build little command line tools, my team is always vexxed by my guideline to have the meat+potatoes in a script that reads well-formatted data off stdin , and outputs well formatted-data to stout. They always wanna have some stupid interactive prompts and saving to files baked right in.
This is exactly why. You wanna save to a file?? > file
You want to read from a file? cat |
You want to save to a file but swap commas for colons? Sed.
You get so much FOR FREE w/ the GNU toolkit, even for what you build yourself, by thinking in streams.
GOOD FOLLOW UP!!
I was about to shit a brick that you went from “go to the official trusted source” to “just trust me: curl [x] | sudo bash”





Kids certainly have the capacity.
Windows 3.1 had some BASIC games that you could run. A snake game and one where monkeys threw bananas at each other. It was a great “fuck around and find out” platform. I could write simple programs from scratch well before 10, learning entirely through experimentation.
