For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

NetAlertX does network detection monitoring if that’s what you are after. I’ve been very happy with it, I use the ntfy forwarder so I get the alerts on my phone.

Another happy Connect user here and you can enable the beta branch from the play store. I ran into a bug a few months ago and made a post, the Dev had it fixed hours later.

Connect was also one of the very few apps that was very early to doing instance and other flexible filtering options. It’s so good I can browse All without getting upset.

Seconding Connect for filters, it was early to the game on this. I use keyword filters like ‘elon’ and ‘trump’ as well as instance filters and it’s been great for curating a non rage inducing Lemmy experience.

We’re up to 8 billion now, it’s crazy

Dead Kennedy’s

I owned this tape 😁

I haven’t either. Maybe it’s because I don’t use any social media but Lemmy

Same for the mouse. My ratio is ridiculous as I just leave everything seeding. I also use a VPN that allows port forwarding even though its not a big deal in my country I still do it anyway.

I’ve worked with POS systems my whole career and I still can’t help think Piece Of Shit whenever I see it

Common in Quebec for sure.

Best instance ever 😁

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Exactly the same here too. As a teenager we also all pitched in on a CD burner when they first came out and kept it at the BBS’s owners place, I just remember a single CD took forever back then when it was 1x and 2x recording speed. That allowed us to share a ton more without everyone having to get together on the LAN.

I actually have a death date. It helps a lot with being able to plan my life and live in a way where I’ll be happy with my life if I were to die tommorow.

If I reach that date then great, anything after I just consider a bonus lol

Thats really interesting. I wonder how much the culture and expectations of norms in corporations makes a difference with this.

Have you worked in several all female crews as well? Its hard to judge when you don’t have a baseline to consider.

This is spot on from my experience as well, you can even see this dynamic play out within individual departments in the same company.

I hear you on the cold part. So many tripped breakers from space heaters… and that one time, a very angry UPS that got plugged into.
