He refers to himself as “Ba3” but a bishop on a3 would be a dark-square bishop 🤔

Then what you bought is not a mouse, it’s a proprietary peripheral that emulates a mouse when you install its propretary drivers.

(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.

The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.

Are you using the Import/Export Settings buttons in the settings page?

If you can reproducibly crash an instance then you should definitely file this as an urgent security issue in the lemmy repo so it can be fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

This is not a federated bandcamp, it’s a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.

This is great! Some feedback on UI:

• The first thing I did was click ⇩ on a post and it prompted me to log-in. This is confusing because I thought I could train the recommender without having to log-in. It took me a minute to find the “Like/Dislike” buttons because they require an extra click to open the post menu. Maybe make the Like/Dislike a bit more prominent and accessible, and find a way to differentiate between the controls for training the recommender and the upvote/downvote actions on the post itself. Or even better, make them the same thing so there’s only one pair of controls and if you’re not logged-in then upvoting just boosts the recommendation but doesn’t actually send the upvote action to the post.
• Please use actual links (``) for post navigation so that I can tell my browser to open a link in a new tab. Usually I middle-click to do this (in Firefox) but since the post title and content only respond to javascript events, I can’t middle click to open in a new tab. Clicking the post opens it in the same window.
• Add text content of posts, or at least a button to expand the text content. Right now text posts are just the post title and I have to click through to read the content.
• Add alt-text (tooltips) to your buttons. I know what the standard share/bookmark icons look like but it helps to have tooltips to be sure.
• Add a link to open the original post (on the origin server). Every fediverse UI has this. If you have it too, I couldn’t find it.
• Allow me to see (and drag) the scrollbar of the main content frame.
• Add a refresh button (maybe at the top of the feed) so that I can generate more recommended content without having to actually reload the page in the browser.
• When clicking a community name, I get the community page but I can’t press the back button to go back to the feed.
• If I “dislike” a post, I don’t expect to see it again after a refresh, or ever.

Also, it’s a bit late to change it now, but the name is very 2009-internet-startup.

Don’t give oxygen to this parasite.

If you’re not storing on a filesystem that calculates and checks erasure codes then you can always generate PAR2 files yourself.

Ah, you’re talking about LUKS. LVM is just the volume manager.

The standard way is to add an sshd (such as dropbear) to your initramfs so that you can ssh in and run commands (such as entering the root partition password) during system boot.

See:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5017/ssh-to-decrypt-encrypted-lvm-during-headless-server-boot

will that cause me problems on a headless server if I get a power outage and need to reboot? I think yes

Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but what is the problem that you anticipate with LVM after a power failure?
