I’m wanting to block the lemmit.online bot due to all the spam it’s generating. But every time I try to go to their profile, the connection times out....

So… During covid lockdowns I pretty much didn’t leave my house. I did contract work that required zero human interaction, my groceries were contactless pickup, and none of my hobbies required other people. I recently started a new job and my social skills are downright awful. What are you supposed to do with your hands when...

To be fair I still do these things but only when I’m alone....

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Arrrr my fellow pirates, I wanted to install Starfield, but I seriously don’t know how. I already downloaded a .rar file, but I don’t know what else to do with it. I run Arch Linux.

With jitsi meet now requireing registration (something I do understand, … but I just happen not to have a google, MS or meta account), I am looking at selfhosting a jitsi meet for personal use....

Hi. I got a new instance of Lemmy up on my server, but outgoing emails aren’t working with Gmail. I have a paid account with Gmail, and previously have used outgoing mail with other services(like phpbb and Mastodon), and they worked. If you can provide some help, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Figure I’d ask here, but I’m looking to set something up for email in the future, I’m looking into custom domains so that if something happens with one email account, then I have more security in mind to pick up from there as opposed to being screwed....

Hey all,...

Hey folks, just wondering if any of you out there are playing BFBC2 via the Project Rome servers and are having issues logging in....

I’m mostly thinking about 8 bit games, and NES in particular, but it was a thing that continued at least into the 16-bit consoles. There were a lot of games that come to mind that did the perspective shift, sometimes blending genres in the process. Stuff like:...

Trying to de-google and looking for an alternative to Gmail....

spoilerBasically the title. That Klingon Pop (K-Pop?) was so unexpected and funny. Such a good comedic timing. But that bit was too short compared to other songs in this episode. I am a little disappointed.

Finding that torrent sometimes don’t download at all despite seeders being present, so having to look around....

Is that one ip address or one device?

Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?

Just making sure I’m not missing something obvious:...

I mean, the simplest answer is to lay a new cable, and that is definitely what I am going to do - that’s not my question....

I have an iPad 1. I barely used it when it was given to me and then it more or less sat unused apart from the occasional booting to see if it still works every few years....

Hello, everybody! I want to have a little mini-PC for gaming that operates like a console. I don’t want to have a big, clunky case in the back or front of the TV. Furthermore, I don’t play many AAA titles from recent years, so the hardware doesn’t need to be high-end. It would be nice if I could run Scarlet Nexus, Nier:...

Hi, Im searching for a secure distro for normal daily use for my laptop. Currently Im running arch linux with full disk encryption, secure boot, linux hardened, firewalld and most apps as flatpaks (with some disabled permissions using flatseal). I think its pretty secure laptop but it could be more secure....

Hello! I need a guide on how to migrate data from shared hosting to Docker. All the guides I can find are about migrating docker containers though! I am going to use a PaaS - Caprover which sets up everything. Can I just import my data into the regular filesystem or does the containerisation have sandboxed filesystems? Thanks!
