No, you should have stopped using that dump years ago.

To be fair advertising Lemmy/Piefed is one of the few good uses of reddit

I have spent a few years learning Spanish, and that’s something I use pretty much every day. I can understand it almost as well as English, but my speaking lags much further behind.

I would like to learn Mandarin, but unlike Spanish there is pretty much absolutely zero relation between English and Mandarin. And because I wouldn’t use it nearly as much unless I forced it, I’m sure I could spend over a decade studying it as hard as I have Spanish and be worse at it. So Mandarin is my answer.

Yeah. Works for pepper not for salt.

I was wondering who it was.

Pyotr Krasnov, historian, antisemite and Nazi collaborator. Krasnov was a commander of the Don Cossacks who fought against the Communists during the Russian Civil War

Turns out commies really don’t like Nazis so it’s not surprising at all. Especially considering the geopolitical situation around that time. (Of course, Russia is absolutely not Communist now…)

I’m more surprised how few are shown in Argentina…

[email protected] is right there

No it’s not nearly as active as reddit but you can post there and get plenty of replies.

Just like on reddit there was /r/technology and /r/tech… Which do you choose?

Choose the bigger one of course. That’s all. On Lemmy they can have the same name but the search feature shows how many subscribers there are. It’s pretty clear usually which to pick.

But everyone can see all of them and it’s not a big deal if you post to a smaller community because a ton of Lemmy users look at the All feed so it will show up anyway.

Send them all, in one big one.

Banana for scale

Hey there, do you have a Matrix account? Most of the active Lemmy instance admins have a group chat. Well two actually, one for technical chats and such and one where we ping each other about spam/problematic accounts/etc.

DM me @bdonvr:matrix.org and I can get you an invite (unless you’re already there under a different name and I missed it)

From speaking with other instance admins it seems the head admin is not currently able to be contacted…

There is another lemmynsfw admin active in our chat but they do not have access to any database backups.

The posts will stay on your instance forever. But as long as the instance is down no new posts will ever come.

Images may or may not show up, depending on if they were externally hosted, got cached, etc.

On S3 storage it’s a monthly cost, so it’ll add up over the years.

I’m a small instance.

In 3 years my pict-rs S3 bucket has grown to over 1.2TB

Yeah disable it. I’m not sure why I didn’t before.

Turning it off completely means that theoretically I could expose a users IP. Say I DM them a unique photo URL. Zero click and I got that. Lemmy’s default UI blocks that but some apps like Voyager don’t. Or you could reply to an old comment which makes it very likely they’ll be the only ones to see it.

I turned on proxy-ing.

Unnatural. Should be illegal.

I honest to god do not think it’s any harder than Windows. You’re just used to the quirks and skills necessary to deal with Windows shit.

There are tools nowadays that share communities around to smaller instances through bot accounts that auto subscribe.

It also makes it easier when you create a community, now it will automatically show up on most instances.

If you have a 3D printer where you just take an SD card out, put it in the computer, put your STLs on, put it back in the machine, then print… You’ll like this. I have my Pi set up with MainsailOS and what it does is basically control your printer. It even integrates into my slicer so I just slice my file then hit print and it starts immediately over WiFi.

If your printer is WiFi connected already this may be less useful but Klipper is pretty powerful for tuning and stuff so it’s still a benefit.

Edit: Pi5 may not be supported by MainsailOS but you can set everything up in a more manual way. It’s not too hard. https://youtu.be/LImiFmhMAB0

Do you have a 3D printer?

No, I never did. But maybe low end Motorolas are different than their flagships

Just start with the base launcher. They’re all decent nowadays. If you really want to change it after a while Lawnchair is one of the favorites.

Really though each side is more and more similar. It’s a phone, it isn’t all that different anymore. Phones are boring now.

With the Razr I will say get in the habit of using the outside screen as much as possible.
