I’ve added some alternatives to subreddits but I also saw that my Lemmy communities aren’t categorized yet. Is there a way for me to do that or do you have to do that?

Thank you! Communities can be managed on fediverser.network/communities. You can add them by going to fediverser.network/communities/create.

Is there way to help without signing into reddit and granting account access?

rglullis OP ,
@rglullis@communick.news avatar

Great question and thank you for your interesting in helping. Authentication via Reddit OAuth does not give “access” to the account. Reddit will send only your username and the list of subreddits you have subscribed to. I’ve set it up this way to help build out the list of subreddits.

In any case, you are right that other authentication methods are needed. I’ll change the setup soon to allow “traditional” sign-up, and I can also add other signup methods.

That would be good, a lot of people deleted their reddit accounts because of Spez & Co.

rglullis OP ,
@rglullis@communick.news avatar

Yeah, totally understandable. I was going to suggest you to create a throwaway account, but then I realized that I am actually considering denying access to newly created accounts precisely to avoid bots and sockpuppets.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that it’s now possible to sign-up to Fediverser with more traditional methods. :)

stebo02 ,
@stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

aren’t sheep about as bad as cows for the climate?

DahGangalang ,

I don’t think so. But I think that that’s going to vary a lot based on how you want to measure “badness for the climate”.

My instinct is to look at Feed to Gain Ratio, which is the measure of food eaten to weight gained. This will vary animal to animal based on the animal’s purpose (meat cows vs dairy cows, meat lambs vs wool sheep, etc) and the type of food they’re fed.

Still, there are reliable bands for estimating for each animal. According to This Article, it looks like sheep can fall into a 4:1 to 6:1 ratio while cows are closer to 12:1 (this is a bit higher than I was taught in high school biology, but not by much). Of course, the higher these numbers, the “worse” the animal is for the environment.

AlligatorBlizzard ,

They might have been asking about methane production, that’s a big topic for cattle because it’s a very potent greenhouse gas and having a lot of cattle produces a lot of methane - and it’s a byproduct of how their digestive systems work and all ruminants, sheep included, have that problem to some degree.

I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer, but per animal sheep aren’t as bad, but it’s due to their smaller size and if western countries kept eating the same amount of meat but ate more sheep (due to it being cheaper from the demand for sheep condoms, lol) instead of beef I’m not sure it would be better. (Replacing chicken with sheep would definitely be worse though.)

DahGangalang ,

So what I’m hearing is that we just need to selectively breed people to have smaller penises so we can just use chicken intestines for condoms instead?

About as bad as any of the animals that can eat grass, wild or farmed

just_another_person , to selfhosted in LDAP to UNIX user proxy

I think you’re missing the point of LDAP then. It’s a centralized directory used for querying information. It’s not necessarily about user information, but can be anything.

What you’re asking for is akin to locally hosting a SQL server that other machines can talk to? Then it’s just a server. Start an LDAP server somewhere, then talk to it. That’s how it works.

If you don’t want a network service for this purpose, then don’t use LDAP. If you want a bunch of users to exist on many machines without having to manually create them, then use LDAP, or a system configuration tool that creates and keeps them all eventually consistent.

kevincox OP ,
@kevincox@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, LDAP is a general tool. But many applications that I am interested in using it for user information. That is what I want to use it for. I’m not really interested in storing other data.

I think you are sort of missing the goal of the question. I have a bunch of self-hosted services like Jellyfin, qBittorrent, PhotoPrism, Metabase … I want to avoid having to configure users in each one individually. I am considering LDAP because it is supported by many of these services. I’m not concerned about synchronizing UNIX users, I already have that solved. (If I need to move those to LDAP as well that can be considered, but isn’t a goal).

just_another_person ,

Then it’s the same situation. Find a box, setup an LDAP service, populate it, and you’re good to go. That’s it.

kevincox OP ,
@kevincox@lemmy.ml avatar

The concern is that it would be nice if the UNIX users and LDAP is automatically in sync and managed from a version controlled source. I guess the answer is just build up a static LDAP database from my existing configs. It would be nice to have one authoritative system on the server but I guess as long as they are both built from one source of truth it shouldn’t be an issue.

just_another_person ,

You’re thinking too hard about this.

There needs to be a source of truth. LDAP is just a simple protocol that can be backed by whatever. You’re worried about the LDAP server going down, but guess what? It’s all in flat files. Go ahead and set it up in a bit repo for config management service for the server/protocol portion, and backup the DB. Easy peasy.

You can also cluster your LDAP service amongst all of your nodes if you have 3+ nodes and un-even number of them to ensure consensus amongst them. You can even back LDAP with etcd if you really want to go down that road.

You’re being paranoid about what happens if LDAP goes down, so solve for that. Any consumer of LDAP should be smart enough to work on cached info, and if not, it’s badly implemented. Solve for the problem you have, not for what MIGHT happen, or else you’re going to paranoid spiral like you are now because there is no such thing as a 100% effective solution to anything.

Well technically a line isnt a curve or vice versa. A possible projection of this 3d shape onto a 2D plane is a triangle, though, yes.

Tawny is already in the writers room for Starfleet Academy as well as working as a cocreator of a new live action Star Trek comedy series in development.

It seems that she’s another alum who will be mostly behind the camera but will show up as a legacy character in other shows.

Taniwha420 , to pics in Classic Windjammers (OC)

These are not windjammers though, are they? They look like pretty vanilla, small sail boats (IDK sloops ketches, or yawls… (Wrong … Too many masts. They’re schooners.) Windjammer was a derogatory moniker for the sailing ships built after steel construction became common. Much much taller masts, wire rigging etc.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’d expect a much larger hull and 3 or 4 very tall masts, with something like four square sails per mast.

The Windjammers outcompeted steam vessels for many transoceanic trade routes because they don’t require the constant input of coal to operate.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windjammer

Picture on that article depicts a ship with six square sails.

EDIT: looked at the picture again. I believe they are schooners.

Most posts on Lemmy aren’t about vegans. Are you obnoxiously bringing veganism everywhere with you and wondering why people react negatively?

saltesc ,

I don’t think you understand that, like always with the same old small minority of vegans that go out there being cruel to people, these posts are reactive to recent poor behaviour. For this reason, it’s unusual for anyone to empathise with these types of people, regardless of ideology, unless you are in defence of their antagonising of others; which is fine, just don’t be surprised by the ongoing discourse not being in favour of that position.

NuXCOM_90Percent , to games in Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2?

I noped out of Destiny during 1, but it isn’t dissimilar from most live games.

Some people want that endless content drip. They are the ones who tend to bounce between live games and so forth.

But for a lot of us? It is about the journey, not the destination. We played Elite Dangerous because we like flying and scooping and not because we want to buy every single ship. We play Warframe because we enjoy the movement and gameplay and not because we need to make our MR even higher. And so forth.

And for them? Hopefully there is new content at some point if only for Bungie’s sake. But even if there isn’t? They are still playing a game they enjoy.

Because back in the before time? I probably logged 30 hours on CTF-Face alone back in UT. I played and beat Freespace 2 at least a dozen times. Hell, I have basically an annual replay of DOOM 1 and 2 that I have been doing for longer than most of you have been alive. Sometimes you want something new to experience. And sometimes you just want to have fun playing a game you like.
