If I’m not mistaken, ImageMagick doesn’t know the canvas size or printer you’ll be using. It only knows the height and width in pixels.

The pgm format doesn’t seem to have an attribute for ppi https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pgm.html

Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

For GTD to work correctly, you need to put breaks, fun, and downtime into your trusted system and on your calendar, or you need to treat it like intermittent fasting and only apply it during certain hours (while still capturing 24/7).

This just hurts poor American consumers who want to buy uranium at a reasonable price.

I see more and more posts that are just a link to a video, post, or article. There’s no text in the description.

I’d like to see some of the article quoted and/or a brief reason this is currently being posted to Lemmy.

When it’s just a link, the cynical part of me thinks it’s just an SEO bot—especially if the account never posts any comments.

What are some ways to encourage posts that are more engaging?

Or should I just ignore, downvote, and/or block those doing this kind of posting?

edit: Thank you to all who answered! I’m amazed at how many ways you came up with to answer this.

I have a computer running what I think at the time was called Ubuntu Server (no GUI) that I installed Xfce on, making it essentially Xubuntu. I did this because it allowed me to use mdadm to set up RAID (4 drives; RAID 5) during the OS install.

My OS lives on an NVME drive, and I have my raid mounted at /Files.

I have lots of data in my RAID, and much (but not all!) is backed up to the cloud. There would be both emotional issues and lots of time required to fix things if I lose the RAID or the data on it.

(I am realizing as I write this that I put off upgrading so long, I can probably copy all the data to one 20TB drive (oof! That’s expensive) since they’ve gotten about as big as my 21.83TB volume.)

How safe is it to take the OS up on this offer?

New release '20.04.6 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

How hard is it to reestablish the RAID if it forgets it exists?

Is there anything else I can do to make this more likely to “just work”? (Like: don’t do it over ssh)

Are there other factors I am not thinking of?

I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:

First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.

Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.

“We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.

I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?
