If you’re talking about lucid dreaming, try looking at your hands or to read some text.

I've cleared entries before with efibootmgr.

My favourite games from childhood were the Ultima series (3 onward).

I’ve done this recently twice and it worked between 2 different distros on different hardware. I don’t remember if I had to link it again, but if I did, it worked and my history was intact.

Ok, good to know, thanks!

It doesn’t seem likely to be a browser addon because if it were, I’d expect it to have the same effect on other sites and I don’t get logged out after 1 week on any other accounts.

I’ll see if the same thing happens when I log in on a different Firefox profiles and browsers.

 

Is anyone else getting logged out of their accounts after about a week when logged in on a desktop web browser? (I'm using Firefox) I don't have this issue on mobile with Voyager.

Is there a way of staying logged in indefinitely?

If this is a setting, the inconvenience of needing to re-login gives users an incentive to weaken their security because users will try to make logging in less of a hassle (like disabling 2FA).

Do a search for "One Pace". A good feeling pace is about 2 manga chapters per anime episode but the anime creators reduced that to 1 chapter per episode when they started running low on material. One Pace edits the anime to 2 chapters per episode and has it follow the manga more closely.

A sample of a scene from an episode with both versions compared:

Nice username!

Mentally, I sidestep the meaning issue by thinking,

spoiler"the lyrics are in a language unknown to humans, used by souls in Elysium" since the motif starts as Maximus is dying and the song starts after he has died.

It would be cool to hear a Latin version, though. I wonder how that would have changed how the song sounded and whether I would have enjoyed it as much.

Some interesting interviews:

Zimmer on working with Gerrard.

In an interview, she says that the words she comes up with are an automatic response to the music and each piece of music has its own language.

 

Remastered version

One of my favorite songs.

 

From the game Serious Sam: The First Encounter.

A variation of it from Serious Sam 3: BFE - Boss Fight Strings

Yeah, I went searching for different versions as well. The one I liked the most was a remaster of the original that was published by Intrada in 2012 (item number MAF 7123). Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a streaming version of it yet.

 

Variations:

Vita Nostra

River

 

When I was a kid, Conan the Barbarian was my favorite movie.

A large part of that was the epic soundtrack. There are a number of tracks on it I think would fit here and I'll eventually post others but this was my favorite.

Favorite parts:

  • 2:13 vocals start
  • Trumpets at 3:24

Basil Poledouris took inspiration from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff when creating the Conan soundtrack. The CB is epic as well and is worth a listen. Most people are probably already familiar with the opening movement (O Fortuna).

The video has good points, though it also has lots of photos and clips of centipedes that aren’t house centipedes, some of which are venomous and can definitely hurt humans.

Even if they’re harmless, I’d find it unnerving to have them around because I’d worry about whether one could have wandered under my sheets or into a shoe. If I see one in the basement I’d leave it alone, but if I saw one in my bedroom or bathroom, that’s a dead bug brah.

The post was mostly aimed at ascallion@lemmy.world, but hearing what the community wants might help them to decide as well.

My vote would be for a broader definition.

  • Less headaches for mods, since they wouldn’t have to worry about users who unknowingly post non-genre music. Also, it isn’t always easy to know if a song belongs in the genre.
  • Users wouldn’t have to worry about whether a song they have in mind fits, making participating easier and less stressful.
  • I think it would appeal to more people, since (I assume) most people would visit the community having a broad/descriptive definition in mind, leading to more community growth.
  • There’s far more music that can be shared, leading to more diversity in the posted music.
 

The answer to this would be good to include in the sidebar so people would have a better idea what’s ok to post.

Epic music is its own genre, but it can also be used to describe music more broadly - music from other genres that evokes a feeling of awe or other strong emotion.

The, uh, other place’s epic music community describes it this way:

“Music that speaks to the soul either lyrically, melodically, instrumentally, aurally, rhythmically, vocally, technologically, emotionally, temporally, or in some other profound way.” (a broad definition that would encompass multiple genres)

What kind of music would you like this community to focus on?

EDIT:

I just came across ascallion's post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world from 2 months ago where they described it as Cinematic music that speaks to the soul.

That description answers my question.

Haven’t had a problem since I started using Linux full time in 2019 but I rarely boot to Windows (usually once every few months to update it). I have W10 and Kinoite (openSUSE before that) installed on separate SSDs. I used 2 EFI partitions (which I make backups of from time to time) on the respective drives the OSs are installed on.

If by ”backup” you mean “infrequently used”, be careful about using Tutanota for that purpose - it will delete free accounts after 6 months of inactivity.

 

As an example:

https://lemmy.world/post/2617991

On Voyager it shows that the person who created that post is gergolippal@mastadon.social and community name is nathanwpyle.

If you view the post in a browser, the community has the display name “Strange Planet by Nathan W. Pyle” and the post was created by “gergo”.

 

I don’t know if it’s like this for everyone but the linked post has 2 images but when I view it in Voyager it only shows the first image and there’s no indication that a second image exists.

Edit - Still trying to figure out how to link it so that it opens in voyager
