Mods still catch quite a bit of spam, which needs to be removed. Mods should also be able to manage their communities as they see fit unless they break the instance rules. It's not ideal to have comment removal, but it's what we got. (TBH, it seems you underestimate the dedication to shit posting that some trolls have.)

European States Claim Control Over Russia's Shadow Fleet in the Baltic Sea - Militarnyi in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I would speculate that it's related to Russia's ability to retaliate and Russian allies willingness to help. Also, Russian reliance on the shadow oil trade is exponentially higher than it was a couple of years ago, so the investment loss is much higher now.

Most of all, politicians are just slow. I am not extremely familiar with EU politics, but my assumption is that decisions can take much longer to make when multiple countries are involved in taking actions like this.

Yeah. This is hail. 2018 Denver area, Colorado. When the conditions are right, I suspect the air currents swirl this against the mountain range until its heavy enough to get launched across the state.

I wouldn't call this sleet in any country as sleet just sounds too dainty.

You can enable POP access for an email application like the standalone Outlook client, and it's not a firm requirement to delete emails from the server. If you don't connect with a client app that is configured to transfer all emails off the server, the webmail interface should work fine.

Fair. "Extreme" was probably too strong. Still, I still believe it goes a little further than being just self-centered. He is just too quick to stroke his own ego for various accomplishments. It's not that I hate the character at all, it's just how I see him.

Extreme narcissistic and egotistical behavior is probably a sign there is something much deeper going on. Of all the categories I could put the Dr in, neurotypical probably wouldn't be one of them.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Just feed scrolling lag. I noticed it this time after page 20, with about 1Gb in process memory. (It seems to take a bit more scrolling now to see issues.)

Keep doom scrolling.

[Bug] Lemmy feed gets laggy over 400mb memory usage (lemmy.ca)

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Lemmy doom scrolling gets super laggy over 400mb memory usage. App ram usage is estimated as I can only see temporary app cache through Android dev settings when the app gets kicked into the background. Memory usage will mostly self-clear, but it takes a bit.

Steps to reproduce:

Doom scrolling FTW!

(Recommend moving nsfwView preference out of a public bug report. It's not a huge issue, but it could be a private setting for some people.)

I am looking for a basic web dev framework that is lightweight and focused around modularity. [Spoiler: I have no idea what I'm talking about!] (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 month ago by remotelove@lemmy.ca to c/webdev@programming.dev

3 comments fedilink

My background: Long time IT security engineer here that can code when I need. For dev experience, I have worked with various languages over the years like assembly, C/C++, js, typescript, PERL, python, etc. When needed, I can hack out a specialized tool but I am absolutely not a professional developer.

My ask: I just want a simple web framework that I don't need to think about too much. There are a few ideas I have regarding security analyst workflow in a SIEM-type of environment and need a way to code simple tools as basic snap-ins to a central analysis console.

The ELK stack serves a inspiration (specifically Kibana). However, there is so much more I want to build into an security specific analysis console and building it one snap-in at a time seems manageable over time.

What is the current flavor of the day regarding Web app dev frameworks that might function how I want? What frameworks would be compatible with a broad audience over a long period of time? (I never liked open source applications that use super niche libraries or frameworks that become obsolete and stale after a few months.)

I hope I was able to describe clearly enough what I am looking for. I would google around for ideas, but I simply don't know the correct questions to ask about this kind of thing until I get more up-to-speed.

[ Bug / ??? ] Finally found the source of a hung feed! (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 month ago by remotelove@lemmy.ca to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

1 comments fedilink

I turned off "Preload Images" and my feed hasn't hung since. There is still a tiny bit of wait time while the next group of posts gets cached in the feed (maybe < 1 second) and this is usually when post pre-loading would fail and hang the feed completely.

If for whatever reason, if an image can't be preloaded it'll hang the feed? Maybe if a post gets deleted on one instance and, because fediverse, it may still be listed by my home instance? A failed cross-instance image load does sound like an interesting theory for root cause.

(Regression, I think.) Strike through markdown broken when used in combination with exclamation point (maybe with other special characters too?) Also affects large blocks text that is marked with a strike through

~~Strike~~

~~Strike! ~~

Cannot select text from comment that you are replying to
Selecting text on your comment is appended with multiple spaces if there is no punctuation.

to reproduce: create post or reply, press and hold the last word of the sentence with no ending punctuation

Text selection can become "sticky". (Unknown cause) Moving cursor around on a comment in progress results in the text selection bar that cannot be turned off. Connect restart is required.
Post cache is not always refreshed after edit. Requires Connect restart to see changes made to a post. (Post text is where the caching issue is, not generally comments.)

[ Almost fixed / 297 ] Post alignment(?) may move up past top of screen and get hidden by post menu [Not sure if the post edits are showing in this post. more details were added.] (lemmy.ca)

Single pull-down refresh breaks post alignment.

~~Multiple pull-down actions may cause the offset of the post to slowly creep up and I under the post menu and almost off the top of the screen. OR, when the post is opened, the post will load with proper alignment and then shift itself up.

This seems to happen within the first few actions on opening Connect and it may self-resolve if the post is opened again, but not always.~~

Edit: ~~There is something wrong with that specific post in the screenshots. Other posts work fine, that one does not.~~ Its happening on this post now too.

Post is fully scrolled down, post title gets covered:
