We’re not allowed to protect our ears because “CONSOOMER FIRST” priority.

If you exposed to loud noises in your work environment (depending on the exposure time and loudness dB level), you should indeed protect your ears. In fact, by law your company should protect their employees from loud noise exposure and use proper hearing protection (so not the cheap stuff either).

If they don’t meet these standards, you have the right to report the issue to workplace safety authorities or your company’s health and safety officer. Employers are legally required to conduct noise assessments and provide adequate hearing protection, such as high-quality earmuffs or earplugs rated for the specific decibel levels in your work environment.

Trust me, if you are indeed exposed to loud noises can lead to irreversible hearing damage. I don’t care so much about hearing loss, but Tinnitus on the other hand is killing my live. My Tinnitus has had me in its grip for years now. I can’t commute to work anymore, I can’t just go and do fun things anymore, hack I can’t even join a birthday party when there are too many people. It is really suffering. And there is NO cure. #Tinnitus

That is why you have KVMs…

@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org You’re doing it wrong. Just setup a KVM behind your server. So then you never need to leave home again.

Have fun. I have Tinnitus.

You’re welcome to join me.

and a good opportunity to raise funds.

This is what really matters I think, people should become more and more aware that yes Free software is great (I’m maintaining several open source projects myself). But all these contributors, including myself, are not or almost not funded, while many users /devs/server admins might use and depend upon your software.

If only 5% of the people who use the software in anyway would donate or sponsor these open source and free software projects, that would already be a huge win! Just know that a lot of developers are getting burned out.

Fact! If the telegram ceo didn’t gave the keys, he was still in prison now in France.

Free speech but no Signal? Red flag.

Welcome to Mbin ;)

FK France. I love the country, but I hate how the government of France is against freedom and privacy. France has also the most Internet restrictions in place of all EU countries.

75 procent of X posts are fake and generated by bots. You kinda see the same happening with YouTube and Facebook as well. I rather have less context but higher quality comments, posts and threads.

The community and thus the people.

Yes that is what I’m seeing. So it still says gulf of Mexico. Which is fine right?

Ps. I was born in 1989. Lol

yes that is the mirror hostname basically (they already had in the past as well).

But I’m now for example able to just visit: https://hexbear.net/communities. And yes I do believe we just reach the same server actually (more or less, maybe kept in sync manually).

Just add the following line to your host file and add an override to your DNS:

37.187.73.130 hexbear.net

Problem solved, this is how we did it in 1985.

Its only for US users, no worry ;) hehe

I actually just recently upgraded to new hardware, but you’re right I myself (as a programmer) was actually using not long ago 15 year old PC. Well the motherboard, case and PSU was 15 years old. I upgraded the GPU along the way, twice in total. And I added more ram. And 2 years ago I upgraded to the CPU for 10 euros/dollars using some used server Xeon processor that was compatible with my PLGA1366 socket.

So actually depending on your needs and small upgrades, you can use old hardware for years. And yes I was still playing games on this 15 year old desktop PC. I just recently upgraded like I said, because mainly I was limited to only SATA 2 and USB 2.0 connectors, so … that. And yes my CPU became the bottleneck for my GPU as well. And I was not able to use NVMe drives of course or anything modern to that regard.

EDIT: And my fuses always tripped when I switched on the old computer. Awh well, after 15 years it was time to upgrade.

it would be kinda funny that he actually found his drive again. But the data is indeed fully gone.
