For me, everything in Fedora just works and never breaks.

Apparently an update broke the 'shutdown and update' function in Fedora Workstation.

Hmmmmmmm

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

To me, this is a very strange take. As a Pixelfed user I absolutely don’t expect to see text posts on there. It’s very clearly a platform for sharing images.

Yes and with the ‘debt’ analogy one can think of what debt is high interest vs low interest and work on the high interest items first

From the Wikipedia article:

Later in March 2022, a high powered expert panel constituted by the Supreme Court found out that 86% of the farmer organizations representing 38.3 million farmers supported the farm laws. The panel received over 19000 representation from various groups. The panel concluded that the repeal and long suspension of farm laws would be unfair to the silent majority of farmers.

Why can’t they use good quality materials when they build it?

What is this piece and how do I fix it? (infosec.pub)
 

Got an old bike that has this piece in between the crankset and the frame. It’s very loose and keeps rolling around and getting in the way of the chain when I pedal. How can I remove it or make it stay fixed in one place?

I want to make these stackable shelves but using pine - bad idea? (youtu.be)
 

I’m thinking of making something similar to these stackable shelves. But I want to do it using hand tools only so it seems plywood is out of the question (searching online said it would damage my Japanese hand saw). So I’m looking at solid wood instead and getting pine hobby boards that I won’t have to plane seems to be the easiest and cheapest alternative. The shelves will mostly hold records and books and the largest will probably be 30x30x75cm but stacked on other shelves. Am I in for a bad time?

Floating shelf mounting advice (infosec.pub)
 

I’m planning to make some floating shelves 150 cm wide and 30 cm deep.

I want to mount them on a wall that has a plasterboard of thickness 13mm behind which is a plywood backing of 15mm according to the details provided by the contractor (see the attached image). This construction was apparently intended for hanging TVs and they recommend using wood screws that are not longer than 30mm.

One of the shelves will have my record collection which could weigh between 25-50kg. What are some options for hardware I can use to mount the floating shelves?
