I just read Cory Doctorow’s article “Let the Platform Burn”. It reminded me of something I’ve been thinking about for some time. Instead of joining yet another social network and recreating yourself, why not create your personal social network object and link it to others via a federation of the personal social network...
What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?...
I’m using Firefox on an Android phone to view Lemmy. When I click a post at the second page of posts and go back after reading, it takes me to the first page of posts. Am I doing something wrong?
I am currently looking for a way to easily store and run commands, usually syncing files between two deeply nested directories whenever I want....
I’m using EndeavourOS. I installed btop++ as well as Disk Usage Analyzer. Both give me different disk space information....
Hello people I recently acquired an old(er) laptop through my workplace. I was initially planning on running a Pi-hole on it but after installing it I noticed that my router is causing issues with the Pi-hole so I gave up on that idea....
I have a low power NAS (~35W) and I want to buy an UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to keep things running. The problem is most UPS for well known brands have an idle power usage (even without load) greater than 20W. It’s comprable with the NAS + HDDs + Network equipment…...
I’ve recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there’s any other amazing cult classics out there that aren’t talked about these days. What are your recommendations?
I learned of this site from someone here and CANNOT, for the life of me, find it now. It was super simple like “watch.med.ia” or something, and had a dark, minimalistic UI. It had all things ever, basically, and the quality was stellar. No ads....
Why happen if I store pirated content inside my VPS? I think the answer is pretty obvious, in their TOS should say that if I do that they will BAN me without warning, but can they detect the files? Or worse, what if I download directly into the VPS with torrent or Jdownloader?...
I use a download manager because when I’m directly downloading large files Firefox gets mad. I also like the feature of batch downloads. What do you guys use?...
I use this account for normal user things, but I want to auto-post social media content in a community I’m in (!taylorswift) which I own. (The content will probably just post 0-3 times a day)....
Is this supposed to happen? I thought it assigned a special ip and that’s the one you use. For me I’m able to access my original local ip address outside my network, and from the provided tailscale ip. luckily when I turn off tailscale I can’t access either.
A butterfly effect is the phenomeon that a small change in initial conditions that leads to a significantly different result than if the initial conditions haven’t been changed. Have you personally witnessed such phenomeon?...
I almost give up. I tried many many things but my samsung s23 is killing important apps and I miss notifications. As soon as I unlock my phone, all of them showing up instantly. I’m missing messages and important notifications. I’m constantly checking phone because of it. BTW, it’s working sometimes I don’t know how and...
Obviously, most social networks have some sort of engagement button for liking/up voting/promoting a piece of content. As well as helping users feel like they’re participating, rather than just passively consuming, most networks also use the likes/ups to filter or promote content to other users....
Curious to know what people have encountered in their lives.
