No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

How long the site has been accessible within an acceptable margin of error. Generally expressed as Nines. More nines = more uptime.
90%, 99%, 99.9%, etc
Yes, but to OP's point, it does get more detailed. How do you define uptime? I've seen contracts where uptime is not well defined, and I've seen other that are very prescriptive and some in between. E.g. All users access attempts must be responded to in under x many seconds and even milliseconds, 99.5% of the time. Other say peak loads over x many users, must have access on the 3rd try after getting a "site is busy, please try again" message. It all depends on what the site is and what they do because going to 99.99% for all users gets expensive.
A lot of web apps today are intermingled with loads of bloat from 3rd party sass providers that slow things down and increase transmission loads and failure at any one of them can cause a site to slow down to trigger a "downtime" quota even if the site works and the users successfully did their thing. (Because the sass failure was not critical).
If you look at OPs history. They ask a lot of questions with missing information which a quick online search will get you answers.
they also have ai slop artwork on their profile. could be a bot.
edit: they also got banned from some communities
My Lemmy client doesn't show profile pics. But that would track with the questions they ask. It sounds like they ask a chatbot something, don't know a specific thing and asks Lemmy instead.
or it's a chatbot asking one someone's behalf. i've already blocked the account.
Does uptime have anything to do do with how fast you send data into the servers and they reciprocate to you ?
It can do. It depends on your service level agreement with your customer.
Your site may be online but because it takes 2 min to load a page it may as well be offline for the sake of productivity.
