Yeah Lemmy just doesn't have the userbase to fill niches with as much breadth as Reddit. A lot of people (myself included) actually prefer the smaller, more intimate nature of things here, but it does hurt in cases like this
Though as far as niche communities go, I'd say we're a moderately decent-sized bunch. Far from the biggest and far from Reddit size, but not too small, either
I mean, I haven't yet seen a recommendation for a second person to provide accompaniment, but at least here in the US, CPR training does actually suggest performing chest compressions to the beat of Stayin' Alive
(Another One Bites the Dust also works well, but is... less advised to sing that one while doing cpr lol)
ETA: Just remembered a hospital actually maintains a Spotify playlist of 100 BPM songs to do CPR to: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7oJx24EcRU7fIVoTdqKscK
Tbf I actually prefer the censored version, the sound effects make it much funnier (and obviously more in character)
What's in a name?
Everyone's been focusing on the "C&A" offices that Pomni ran through and how that's probably a reference to the Biblical story of Cain and Able, but personally, I'm more interested in something else that I haven't seen nearly as much discussion of: Pomni's name.
Why "Pomni"? I mean sure, that was the first 5-letter combination the randomize came up with that wasnt "Xddcc," but surely the must have been something deeper behind the scenes!
Well, Pomni might be more pronounceable than Xddcc, but it still doesn't mean much. At least, not English. If you speak Russian, you might recognize her name as "помни",^[a quick search of Wiktionary suggests this word also exists in Czech and Macedonian, but Russian is the language I know so that's the one I went with] which means "remember", particularly in the imperative form of the verb (aka, the form for telling someone to remember).^[Wiktionary definition]
So, every time someone addresses Pomni by name, they're literally telling her to remember! Unfortunately, Pomni does not seem to know Russian, so this goes right over her head. (I checked the official Russian dub, her name is still Помни ("Pomni" but in Cyrillic) but it isn't acknowledged any further because of course its still just a translation of the English version)
What does she need to remember? Well, that's where the other theories come into play. But I think Pomni slowly remembering what went down at/with C&A over the course of the series will probably be a major plot point and perhaps also the key to getting them out of the Digital Circus? And I don't know if we'll end up meeting their real-life versions at all, but if so, I'd guess Pomni is probably going to be a Russian woman
My guess would then be probably Tailscale or Pihole somehow interfering with that connection for some reason. Idk if you're able (or willing) to remove those from the equation, but that might help narrow things down. If you have access to another computer locally, maybe sharing a folder on that and gradually adding steps to make it closer to your target system until it stops working?
If you liked Harpy Eda, you are going to LOVE Titan Eda!
I love how she just looks so completely over it in the first drawing. Way too fed up with this junk to even be dramatic anymore
I love the detail of the reminders of this non-human's inhumanity in all the puddles arrive him
I've personally been used Cx File Explorer to locally access SMB-shared folders from a Win10 device and a OpenMediaVault-based NAS, without problem (neither accessible remotely so cant attest there)
What exactly is not working? Are you getting any usable error messages? If you're not out of the country yet, can you connect locally? Do other SMB shares work?
Thank you parents for the sacrifices you make for your families ~~(and the Cosmic Frontier fandom)~~
Well @zuck (and @mosseri) are from Threads and, like @Mastodon, it makes sense a lot of people would first choose to follow the top leaders. I imagine the majority of those are actually legitimate users, though the Threads bubble also very quickly popped, so who knows how many are still active
