If you go north/west, the eclipse will take place a bit higher over the horizon. If you go to the eastern part/coast of Spain, it will be very low to the horizon, which would maybe suck inland but might be cool over the ocean.

If you are in the path of totality, go find a spot early on and just kind of hang out - bring snacks and water and a book. If you aren't familiar with the area, download a map on your phone because the cell network might be slammed with people. Don't look at the sun without solar glasses until totality. The moon takes a while to move in front of the sun and the light level gradually drops, but you won't notice it until probably 90% of the sun is covered. Once totality occurs, you can look at the eclipse with the naked eye.

It is beautiful and indescribable and I was profoundly moved when I watched the 2017 eclipse. I will watch the upcoming one, provided the clouds don't cover it.

Once the eclipse is over, prepare to wait for traffic. It might be a while to get out because so many people go to such a small area.

You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?

Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

Aaaand this is why my milk costs $10/gallon. Animals need to be treated well.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

Electric toothbrush is amazeballs.

That's frustrating, sorry to hear that.

Important question: are you bleeding from the gums when you floss?

Healthy gums can handle normal flossing without bleeding. I floss once a day, before bed. Normal flossing does not involve super hard scrubbing, just enough force to scrape off stuff stuck between the teeth and dislodge stuck particles. You might also want to add some antiseptic mouthwash to your routine after flossing until your gums stop bleeding.

This is happening today. My poor bulbs!

Love how being a woman always gets you an asterisk.

 

In the USA we are approaching July 4 (Independence Day), which is a major holiday. People tend to string together a few days of vacation and take off a nice chunk of time (I am!). My husband finally comes home this evening, we have Friday off (we work a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off) and then we will (EDIT: NOT BE go on a 4 day trip in the Sawtooth mountains, due to snowpack, but we will be working on our teardrop trailer)!

How about you all? I know some of you are in Europe, and it's also vacation season there. What's shakin'?

 

Hi friends! I wanted to tell you about a community I created: !wilderness_backpacking@iusearchlinux.fyi

It's focused only on trips into the wilderness with non-motorized transport and away from human establishment. I hope you enjoy it and share your trips there too!

 

I get the perpetual "waiting" icon on the browser interface and some kind of JSON string error in Jerboa (I would have to screen shot it, it flashes up and disappears). Is it the server? Lemmy in general? Something else?

What are y'all up to today? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Just felt like getting to know our little community a bit better.

I got up extra early today to take my husband to the airport this morning after his flight was rebooked from yesterday evening. He's headed to Germany for a big birthday celebration with his peers from growing up. I think it's super cool they are all still friends with each other!

I'm also working from home using a computer that unfortunately isn't running Arch, but if it were running Arch, I would definitely tell you.

 
 

I'd love to have more local communities to discuss about things, but I don't want to 1) spam a bunch of new communities that get no traffic and/or are duplicates of communities on other instances and 2) I have very little time to moderate.

What do you think? What kind of topics might we want to add, if we do?
