Due to how federation works, downvotes are actually somewhat public because instance owners can query them in lemmy database, though instance owners probably won’t tell you if you ask due to privacy reason. If you’re interested in something like this, you can run your own instance.

Google Reader was the best. Not sure why Google killed it, but it was really good at both content discovery and keeping up with sites you’re interested in. I tried several alternatives but nothing came close, so I gave up and hung out more on forums / link aggregators like slashdot, hacker news, reddit and now lemmy for content discovery. I’m also interested to hear what others use.

Abusing students is fine in Hogwarts, but licking is apparently unacceptable.

My favorite is streaming apps geoblocking contents and blocking access from all known vpn networks, then wondering why piracy on the rise again.

You made one critical error in this perpetual energy machine plan: linux users don’t go outside.

Wait until you see this:

Unlike hdd, I never experienced graceful disk failures on ssd. Instead, they just randomly decided to die at the most inconvenient time. Raid 1 saved my hide a couple times now from those ssd failures.

Interviewer: It’s git push origin main now. Get out of here!

The price seems reasonable to me. It’s competitive with VPS with comparable storage if you were to self-host it on a cloud provider.

“Let’s give our new command line app the same name as a popular linux command even though it’s not the same app and behaves differently. I’m sure our users would appreciate it when they have problem with the app and trying to search the solution later.”

Should I setup DKIM, DMARC, SPF and reverse IP lookup?

This is no brainer to setup using mailcow. Just need to copy paste the provided TXT values from mailcow ui into your dns entries.

Mailcow is fantastic and very easy to deploy. I highly recommend it.

Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.

Edit: wait, I didn’t realized it’s @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com himself that made this post. Man, I don’t know how you’re able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!

PATRIOT

Someone should make a RAM Booster app that essentially just execute echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches in a terminal.

glibc: 😑🤚

musl: 😌👉 (unless you’re a python programmer)

The honeymoon period. Enjoy it while it lasts. Once their competitions gone, price would rise sharply.

It was a death sentence back then, but now I bet those with a threadripper with huge RAM can tank it until it hit ulimit.

It’s still an ongoing war, but with Manifest V3, Google will have an advantage over adblockers because they will be in full control over the frequency of extension updates, how many ad blocking rulesets they’ll allow, and perhaps when no one is looking, prevents those rulesets from targeting their own domains. The latter is the nuclear option that’ll instantly piss off the whole tech world if implemented now, but perhaps slow boiled frogs won’t notice it once the heat is high enough.

The models sold in my country haven’t burst into flame yet, and they sold a lot of units here. Honestly, EV fire is my biggest worry, so I’ll probably wait for another year before considering getting a chinese ev to see if there is no fire incidents or other dealbreaking issues, but they’re looking pretty solid so far.
