I have to unsubscribe from some of kbin’s magazines because bots constantly posting spam there in past few months. It’s bad. I didn’t know the dev runs double duty as mod as well.

FBI would arrest jellyfin devs so fast before they can hit the release button.

I thought the white house actually runs their own mastodon instance when I read the headline. That would mark the point where mastodon reached mainstream use which is an incredible milestone.

I was excited for nothing…

Bluesky finally allows the community to run their own labeller services. This blog post summarize how bluesky federation system works and how the labeler service fit in.

It’s, uh, not that simple: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Examples_of_use

Both side seems to be frustrated at each other there. Beehaw admins accused lemmy devs of not listening to their requests for better moderation tools, while lemmy devs accused beehaw admins of demanding more work without contributing anything or gave them appreciation. I hope the conflict is just temporary and they can reconcile later when things have cooled off.

Slow but steady growth is better imo, especially since Lemmy’s moderation tools are still not that good and instance admins often get overwhelmed maintaining their own instances. Some instance admins got frustrated so much, they decided to create a new lemmy backend: https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks-api

I was blocked from sign up too due to the phone number verifier didn’t support my country, but when I tried again several days ago, they doesn’t seem to require phone number anymore.

Tamago kake gohan (卵かけご飯, “egg on rice”) is a popular Japanese breakfast food consisting of cooked Japanese rice topped or mixed with raw egg and soy sauce.

Some people do actively looking for fights instead of having meaningful discussions. I noticed them less and less now though, so either the mods got them, or they blocked me because I often call them out, or maybe they stopped frequenting smaller communities.

This advisory will be edited with more details on 2024/02/15, when admins have been given some time to update, as we think any amount of detail would make it very easy to come up with an exploit.

But the commit to fix insufficient origin validation is already visible right there in the repo?

It’s very obvious that the kind of people that hang around in fediverse absolutely despise Rowling. I never see any positive discourse about Harry Potter here. Even discussions about the game are generally negative.

It’s true, it logs a huge amount of stuff due to federation chatter. If you run it with docker, be sure to setup log rotation. I think the recommended lemmy ansible installation set the rotation to 50MB x 4 files. Or just /dev/null it.

The cheapest digitalocean VPS doesn’t have enough ram to host lemmy these days, especially after v0.19 update significantly increase database ram consumption. You’ll have to use a vps with at least 4 GB of ram which will cost $24/mo. If you only want to spend $5/mo for that kind of VPS, you’ll have to dig into lowendtalk.com to find some VPS deals from a somewhat reputable providers.

Yes, it literally happened with FMHY’s Lemmy instance. Lost access to the original domain, started again from scratch on a different domain, but their users didn’t come back and already moved in to other instances.

That’s a bummer. It seems while lemmy has the backward migration .sql files in their repo, the lemmy app itself only support forward migration and you’ll have to run the backward migration .sql files manually yourself in postgres.

Lemmy seems to support backward database migration (at least judging from the database migration script here), so you might be able to revert to v0.18.4 (backup your database first if you haven’t already).

The thing is, YouTube Android API, which was used by Android apps to embed YouTube videos, has been deprecated a few months ago. I remember YouTube video began to stop playing in Sync For Reddit app around two months ago. The API has been replaced with the YouTube iFrame API, but this API is very JavaScript/browser-centric, so it’s probably not trivial to add to a native app in a performant/memory-efficient way.

Nani?!!
