I read this thing's entire wiki page and it's fascinating!!

  • Imo it's not even an animal it's just a collection of cells that can survive on their own but just don't want too
  • It will rip itself into multiple parts spontaneously because cells don't coordinate too much. They don't have dedicated neurons but they have a decently complex peptide based protocol.
  • You can put a single Trichoplax animal through a sive that is fine enough not to damage the cells but separate them, and the cells will reform into the same animal
  • They can reproduce sexually but they don't have any of the markers that all males of all sexually reproducing species have. Plus because they only ever sexually reproduce when there's a high density of Trichoplaxs, it's basically a pattern of Trichoplax cells choosing to break away and combine with other cells to create new individuals.
  • They're just about as simple as e.coli and they're the simplest animals with about 50mill base pairs divided into 6 chromosomes
  • They can take the organelles of the cells they eat just because. The wiki article calls it symbiosis but that implies that organelles are alive and I don't think they are. I think Trichoplaxs can just take tools from other creatures to use.
Do other people 'edge' going to sleep? Why is this a thing? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I've been experiencing something like this too..

I'm really insomniac due to mental health stressors and chemical imbalances. I honestly might die if I don't use meds to put myself to sleep for 2 weeks straight.

That being said my meds are correcting the chemical imbalances. And I get to notice as I try to fall asleep after a high stress day I'll ruminate too hard and I'll stay awake after the "put-down" pill wears off, (then I gotta decide to give up on sleep all together or damage myself more with another pill).

I'm not a doctor (just traumatized). Ruminations come from anxiety sometimes, try to recognize what you're actually actually doing to prevent yourself from sleeping.

Yes... Gun laws in the US are bullshit.

Yeah this is that kind of rules-lawyering grey area that everybody's too busy to deal with. It's the same issue with the assault rifles and large mags.. they're very clearly weapons of war but they look like guns and all* guns can be used for hunting.

Afaik it's because there's absolutely no other applications for brass knuckles to work. You can only assault people with brass knuckles.

Fire-arms can be used for "defence" and "hunting".

Edit: inb4 I don't agree with laws around brass knuckles, or most laws about most weapons.

What specific things are wrong with my installed copy of Brave (programming.dev)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/993501

I use manjaro linux and I installed brave using the AUR repo. I keep hearing stories about how Brave is just another ad tracking software like Chrome. What I don't understand is why, like specifically.

Because I downloaded Brave from here. The code for Brave is here. I can build and install Brave and it will be the same as from AUR right?

Ok let me list my questions:

  1. If the sourcecode for Brave is open and is all I need to compile and run the software then where's the tracker. The code base is honestly to big and high level for me and my professional abilities but I'm not that great of a programmer, I'm just really good. If there are ad trackers or adblock-blockers then I should beable to see it in the code right? I just need help actually seeing these lines of code.
  2. I've used wireshark to monitor Brave in isolation and I couldn't see traffic that I would disapprove of. It is also very realistic that I just don't know how to recognize.
  3. Just because Google maintains chromium doesn't mean that chromium browsers have to track you. Chromium is opensource and it shouldn't cost much to comment out trackers. So wasn't this already done? And if not can we actually see the lines of code that track us?

Really what I'm looking for is help coming to the conclusion that these browsers are that bad for me myself.

Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists? (programming.dev)
 

When I joined the fediverse I thought I'd have an easier time moving between lemmy platforms. So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account. I kinda wish I can carry my lemmy user to other platforms more easily.

2 years ago I created a FOSS image board platform called Cryptochan where the gimick was that users used GPG as the RBAC authentication method. I wanted users to posses their profile as a file that they could input into any Cyptochan platform to leave replies. The file is a private key that isn't transmitted to the server, instead its used to sign the post right in the users browser. I've gotten better at webdevelopment and the the true reason I created the thing was to learn Next.js, the thing is luke-warm garbage and I never expect it to become anything.

But I was wondering if we could do a similar type of trick where a lemmy instance can package up a user and send it to another lemmy instance?

What is the difference between Linux package managers? (programming.dev)
 

I know every distro has its own package manager, some of them share the same package manager, you can even install other package managers.

Besides the source there getting the content from, the formatting of the download and compilation phases, and maybe even a specific programming language; I still can't wrap my head around why there need to be so many?

What rule says that every distro needs its own package and manager to install any package?

Advice on backing up disk images to S3? (programming.dev)
 

Recently my manjaro linux laptop had a pretty bad meltdown. My solution would usually be plugging in the live boot drive and fixing whatever happened, but that takes to long and I lost a working day because of it. I need a more brute-forcy way of backing up and recovering my machines. I'm thinking daily disk image backups that I can recover just by flashing the last days image. I have ~20tb worth of old harddrives that I could put into raid using a raspberry pi but I don't really trust them all that much.

I created this backup utility afew months ago but it's also not that great. Does anybody know a solution for uploading a disk image of my computer, encrypted locally on my machine, then upload it to s3?
