That sucks. As a workaround, a cup of ice is just a cup of water waiting to happen.

I totally get where they’re coming from with that shutdown announcement. I’ve had to “talk myself off a ledge” a few times to not go the same route and shut mine down. Ended up making some server policy changes that helped, but there’s eventually going to be something else later.

If we keep treating the Fediverse as just a scrappy, amateur effort, it will never reach its full potential and it will be forever just a niche thing.

What suggestions do you have to change the way we’re treating/running it currently?

Tim Walz seems like a really great guy all around, and truth be told, if I was given an opportunity to attend a local rally for him, I’d probably seriously consider it. Doubt that I would actually go, but it wouldn’t be an immediate hard “no” like I’d usually respond lol.

No, but I’m interested to hear the experiences from those who have.

I, personally, just don’t get the appeal and am curious to find out if I’m missing out on anything. All I really want from candidates is a website that lists their policy positions and legislative voting records / accomplishments. Attending a rally just seems too “cult of personality” for my taste. Though I would and have attended smaller, town hall style meetings.

Yep, API limitation, so less a “won’t fix” and more of a “can’t fix right now”.

I still frequent XDA Forums for all of my custom ROM needs.

Tesseract lets you browse the communities on remote instance. AFAIK, that’s one of few Lemmy frontends that offer that feature. Wish some other frontends would steal that feature from me.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won’t show you any that are marked NSFW.

Even our wildlife needs mobility scooters

Depends on the gig, but yeah, probably.

Yeah. But it was hard to actually house shop due to COVID restrictions, precautions, and such. I did refinance my mortgage in late 2020 (less than a year into it), though, since rates had dropped so much.

My house lol.

TLDR: Unfortunate life event caused me to have to accelerate my house shopping by 2-3 years. Bought right before COVID hit and everything could not have turned out better (and I’d have been worse-off buying a house in 2022 than I was when I had to impulse buy on in 2019)

I’m kind of doing that with wire ties every few inches. Haven’t thought of a cable sleeve, though. That would probably work and look better. Thanks!

Because I’m not made out of server resources lol. I’ve already got a beefy server that’s dedicated to Postgres and is well tuned, and everything else already hooks into it. I’ve also had better performance (and less overhead) with one, big well-tuned database versus lots of stack-local databases.

If Lemmy goes tango uniform, then any damage would be limited to its schema. The worst it could really do would be resource starve it, but Zabbix would alert me of that quickly.

Lol, yeah.

I think they plan to do semvar, but if I recall (and I may be wrong), since it’s pre 1.0.0, they’re “allowed” to make breaking changes since it’s still in alpha.

0.19.4 requires upgrading Postgres (and exporting/importing the database to the new version).

I just don’t have time for that right now since my Postgres DB is on a dedicated machine and is shared with a few other active services.

But any of the books from the main series would require the kind of love and effort that the Expanse got early on.

I don’t know that any series would ever get that kind of love ever again. What The Expanse got was rare and amazing.

Would love to see (and probably be disappointed by) a Revelation Space adaptation.

Whether I’m really going to be able to give up my smartphone lol. I just bought a “dumb” phone and am embarking on a 30-day experiment where I use that as my daily driver.

That’s more of a Mlmym problem than a Lemmy problem. Every frontend tends to handle images a little differently.

I don’t see an open issue for that problem, yet, though, so might be worth putting one in for the developer to work on.
