I assumed it was intentional.

No, it’s a lie. They wouldn’t say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.

A hug from Agamemnon! Probably ok. No Trojans hidden anywhere within the hug?

I understand the downvotes, but that law really needs reforming. The labels need to say in what way it can cause harm. I remember seeing a piece of wood (pressboard) labelled as carcinogenic at Home Depot. I couldn’t figure out what that meant. Is it ok as long as I don’t burn it? Is it bad to breath near it? Is it only dangerous if I eat it?

Labels need to be more specific about possible dangers.

Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I’d back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.

It’s easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It’s the dark souls of source control, except it’s not really fun. It’s just a very beginner unfriendly tool.

Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.

Hey HobbitFoot! Are you related to the Hobbiton Proudfoots/feet?

Feel free to join us at [email protected] and post some of your hobbit family artwork.

If I browse [email protected] I don’t see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.

Oh, maybe [email protected]

More hobbits are always welcome at: [email protected]

Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It’d be a peer to peer sort of organization.

I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.

Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.

But, I think it’s similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.

If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it’d scale almost infinitely. I don’t think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.

It never occurred to me that it might be a filter for bad language. Is that a thing? I’m skeptical. I think you’re right that it’s just a bug. Don’t know if it’s Connect or Lemmy that has the bug though.

The Connect client can hide posts based on keywords. I switched from Jerboa purely for that one feature.

In summary, for our mental health, delete nextdoor and never look at national news. One is populated by busybodies and the other is just cancer.

I did a bit of searching and the initial size you mention seems to be the initial size to which extrapolation is possible given information we have and that past that point it’s unknowable?

You’re right, although if you ever get the chance to browse a real physical encyclopedia, it’s a unique experience.

Not practical, but it’s a bit like playing a record or playing a game on a real NES. It’s a unique experience.

I have a full 2007 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica in the same room as my vintage computer collection. I browse it occasionally.

If you’re asking what the $6 gets, I’m talking about a single shard which allows me to host a Linux instance that runs a Lemmy instance. I wasn’t sure if that was sufficient, but honestly, the performance via Jerboa is better than when I was using an account on lemmy.world. It has only been a week, so don’t know how much disk will get used up over time. Long term I might need to bump things up for storage.

This is a concern, but luckily this isn’t required. I set up hobbit.world to host my Tolkien related communities. It only costs $6 a month plus the $35/yr for the domain name to host a tiny instance like this. I don’t need to depend on anyone but my hosting provider.

To be safe I should download backups once a month or so.

But the point is that for big communities that people put a lot of time into, there should be an instance for each one owned by one of the mods.
