We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

I’m not sure it’s as crystallized as that yet, but I agree with your sentiment. Everyone should have the right to choose to die but if the reason is “there was no other option,” then, we should be damn well sure we offered everything we could. Let’s not be taking societal shortcuts to “oh well, we gave it our best shot.”

I support someone’s right to end their own suffering, 100%, but it is very bad form to: be ABLE to help someone, INGORE that they are suffering, but SMILE while helping them polish their gun.

Disclaimer. I'm doing it anyway.

Long time hacker, and ambi-os user. Latest sexyness is my new macbook. After getting everything setup the way I want it, I start seeing buzz for Nix and got excited, but also bummed out that I didn't start from scratch.

I like new stuff, figuring it out and solving problems, but I also hate broken and unstable stuff. Doubly so when you go to use something you spent time setting up and it fails. Triply on having to switch your daily driver or setup any new system with all of your crazy custom setup.

  • How much pain will I suffer trying to replace brew with nixpkg?
  • Currently I use podman to build containers, should i switch to nix?
  • I use whatever virtual environment is appropriate for the task. Venv, etc. Seems like nix can do a better job?
  • What's the experience like with VSCode?

I am most excited at the prospect of using home-manager. The 'idea' of portability for my profile is pretty nice. I'd like to see it work across osx/win/linux and all the things be the same up to my browser and maybe some other cross-platform common things.

Don't roast me for not being hyper-specific here. I am not an uber-dev. I'd say I lean more into security and dev-ops. Happy to elaborate on anything.

I really want to hear others' experiences. I see the upside and, like I said, I'm going to take on the challenge anyway, but will I end up regretting it?

They defaced it with dicks and changed the federation list to be only threads.net. I don't think it was a state sponsored chinese hacking group. :)

All the bean memes are in danger! On a serious note, old-skool or not, it's a huge loss of trust in something the community-at-large is excited to see replace reddit.

I wouldn't assume reasons why or that it's fixed until that consensus has been more widely reached.

  • Should we/let's defederate with X?

IMO, likes need to be handled with supreme prejudice by the Lemmy software. A lot of thought needs to go into this. There are so many cases where the software could reject a likely fake like that would have near zero chance of rejecting valid likes. Putting this policing on instance admins is a recipe for failure.

v.0.0.6

v0.0.4 - Per requests and concerns: Defaults changed and options added to prevent overloading servers, hitting rate-limiting, filtering to top x communities, etc!

Thanks for your support!

I want this to happen, and then all of the admins join together to block API requests from the Reddit instance and redirect to pay-per-use API gateway.

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

EDIT: As noted in the comments, this is an admin tool. Please do not run it as a user if you don't know what you are doing. If you want a better "All," ask your admin first! That said, lemmony in no way constitutes abuse! You can cause a DOS with curl, but that's not what curl was written for. This tool is to legitimately use an API to enhance our experience. Admins that desire to accommodate high volume on a public service will not know this tool is running against, or on their instances. If it causes performance issues, that is unfortunate. They are free to throttle, ban or block API access to their instance in a multitude of ways.

EDIT 2: Donate to your instance/admin if you like Lemmy!

Federation Lag-o-meter (aftershock.lemmy.management)

I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!

[-] hawkwind@lemmy.management 22 points 1 year ago

That is exactly what that means and it's frustrating to say the least, because it's not clear that's what's happening.

When you create that instance, do you immediately need to download and store all the data that has ever been posted to all federated Lemmy instances?

Run my own instance. @Candelestine@lemmy.world is right but there are more details. Federation is not a "sync." When your instance needs to fetch from another instance it will, but it does not get history. You can get a specific comment or post from any time however.

Or perhaps you only need to download and store everything that is posted to the federated Lemmy instances from that point forward?

This is not by default either. Only communities that your users subscribe to will be updated by their "origin" instances.

Or better yet, do you only store what the users on that instance do (i.e. their posts, and posts to the communities hosted on that instance)?

This does happen, but it also stores what your users do on remote instances as well as "copies" of what they interact with. Images (currently the only media hosted by lemmy servers) are linked to thier "origin" as well. So you are storing text of posts and comments.

It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".
