About an hour ago I bought the domain bronchiectasis.life because I'm having no luck connecting with a bronchiectasis org to use my t shirt designs, and I want to make t shirts, and they need a url because no one knows what bronchiectasis is. So I’m just making my own. Plan is to have a simple landing page with some very basic info and links to whatever on-demand printing service I use for my 3 bronchiectasis t-shirt designs.

Dreamhost offered to build a site for me based on one sentence ("information about bronchiectasis with links to t-shirts for sale") and I hit the "next" button and, well, it made this.
I can't stop laughing. It's 100% full of shit.

I just finished #PicksAndShovels last night. Really fun read. It clearly comes from @pluralistic's heart. I won't say anything about the plot bc it unfolds beautifully and then folds itself up in a very satisfying way, but I will say that along with being a thriller set in the early days of computing, it's a coming-of-age story about being young and full of good intentions but with lots and lots to learn. I think a lot of men will relate to it. I hope it's not the last Hench novel!

I'm getting 'operation not permitted' errors with Syncthing Fork and a few other issues, can anyone help?

Several different, random seeming files across various different Syncthing folders keep failing to sync even after restart, rescan, and reconfiguration, with the below error

syncing: finishing: opening temp file: open /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Webcam/.syncthing.2024-07-1621:42:30.jpg.tmp: operation not permitted


I don't how how to fix it, the desktop app has the required permissions, and the Android app has as many storage permissions as I can give it under Android's horrible SAF limitations.

It seemed to used to be happening only to some specific old files, but now it's happening to all the new files I add onto my laptop under Videos or Music.

In addition, when trying to sync files with a specific server, it shows as disconnected, even when both are online and connected to the LAN (my phone via WiFi, the server via Ethernet), and there is some error about encryption expectations

2025-06-20 23:33:38: Failure checking encryption consistency with device server for folder "Music" (8ipwu-ehye4): remote expects to exchange encrypted data, but is configured for plain data


The server is running Syncthing GUI on Fedora GNOME, same as the laptop (which does work besides for the first issue), so I don't know what the difference is that would be causing this, not a single file has been synced to the server.

This is honestly making me want to get a Fairphone 5 with Ubuntu touch to get rid of these issues, but I can't do that now.

If anyone could advise, I would really appreciate it!

If "my parents did it to me and I turned out fine" was your takeaway from my comment then I failed to communicate my point or you misunderstood, or both. It was more that context and circumstances also need to be considered. I did turn out ok, I think, but that's because of a lot of work I put in during my adulthood to really work on my growth and reflect on my behavior continuously to learn and grow.

As a difficult child who did not handle their emotions well I would slam my door when I got upset and was warned repeatedly not to or I would lose it. Then when I didn't listen and slammed it anyway I would suffer the consequences of my actions but only for a short period. It was fundamentally no different than having a toy or privilege taken away.

My parents also spanked me but I would never do that if I had children because I know it doesn't work. My parents did make mistakes and they, my mom at least directly, have acknowledged that and voiced their regret.

In OPs example it's out of line to take a door away because they are 16 years old and don't seem to be using it as an appropriate consequence for the child's actions. As an 8-10 year old child who also put their foot through a wall twice in the same spot, threw a ping pong paddle at their brother so hard it put a hole in the wall, and would slam the door so hard it would shake pictures on the wall being warned of the consequence of my continued misbehavior and then facing those consequences was, in my opinion, appropriate. I learned not to slam my door and to control my emotions and express them in a more healthy and less destructive way.

I'm sure there are other, some maybe better, techniques however we all learn from the mistakes of our parents so we can screw our children up in new and unique ways while avoiding what they did.

Just because it makes sense to you doesn’t mean it’s a sensible idea.


Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it's not a sensible idea.

It has been studied and behavioral health experts advise against it.


The same behavioral experts I was taken to by my parents? The ones who helped them implement a "family contract" that resulted in one of the most miserable parts of my childhood? The "family contract" that made me resent my parents for many years?

Maybe, just maybe, behavioral health experts are a reflection of the times and their society and because it's fallen out of favor doesn't mean it's bad or doesn't work, just that it's not accepted practice any longer.

Unlike you I didn't make a statement of fact without supporting evidence. I offered up my own, personal, direct experience and how it affected me along with my opinion that context and situation should be a consideration.

I laugh if you think taking away video games or no tv would have worked to stop me from slamming the door. Unsurprisingly, of all the things my parents tried, removing the door so I couldn't slam it was the effective solution.

I have reputable studies behind my statement


You have nothing if you don't provide sources besides a claim that you've made. I've seen studies too and everyone I've seen specifically references teenagers. There's also studies that say "taking something away" doesn't work, yet you do that by taking away video games.

Taking things away from our kids to help them change their behaviour often looks like taking away privileges, toys, or activities. There are a few reasons why “taking things away” is an ineffective method of discipline.

You'll notice this article cites their sources.


Why Spanking And Taking Things Away Isn't Effective | Nurtured First

Does spanking or taking things away work to discipline kids? The research shows these strategies are ineffective, don't teach new skills, creates fear in children and doesn't strengthen the parent-child relationship. Learn more.

Twice you've avoided sourcing your claims. Why should any third party reading this thread believe what you say? Why should I?

Not against taking things away. I specifically gave examples of taking things away earlier, including from my own son.


So you don't believe the studies that show your method is ineffective but you do believe the ones you continue to avoid sourcing?

Taking things away from our kids to help them change their behaviour often looks like taking away privileges, toys, or activities. There are a few reasons why “taking things away” is an ineffective method of discipline.

You made a claim of fact and yet refuse to source it so why should I believe some random stranger that their "sources" exist?

In fact, you do the exact thing you're against in a different way. Sure, you don't take your child's door; instead you take something else

I'd love to see your "sources" that state taking a door away from an 8-10 year old is "shattering their trust".

Edit: of course you downvote, still without providing sources.

Four times you've avoided providing your "sources".

Votes are public on Lemmy. That's how I know you went back and downvoted every one of my comments on this post after I called you out for downvoting my one comment.

You started to deflect and refuse to source your claims after I pointed out your hypocrisy and continue to do so.

You could backup your original claims by posting supporting sources, or you could have phrased your original comment as your opinion, which it seems clear now it was.

Maybe, but I don't think the sources exist. Certainly not specific to the situation I described in my anecdote.

I'd love to read them if they're real but I pose this question to you:

If they've read these studies why would the still use a punishment method on their child that's been proven ineffective through those same studies?

I know that current methodology is to use positive reinforcement and feedback methods to deal with children's behavioral issues, why don't they?

Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.

The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.

The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.

The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.

Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.


Just when I feel like dystopian news can't really disturb me anymore...

Leaving this totally unrelated article about Palantir and Israel here for absolutely no reason at all...

How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:

A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.

Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.
