thayer , to nostupidquestions in Can I block posts about Reddit?

No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.

Edit: clarified

EK13 ,

Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!

Kichae ,

If it isn't, OP should add it to the issues tracker! Adding things there gives the project leads, plus anyone who is willing to volunteer some time, to know what features people are asking for, and to choose some ready made things right off of the shelf to work on.

The devs have always been pretty helpful and responsive on Lemmy. I imagine that has changed a lot in the last few weeks, but they're basically always checking the issues tracker.

lp0101 , to selfhosted in What are things you would rather host on a VPS as opposed to a local machine?

I use a VPS as a homelab gateway of sorts from the outside.

Essentially, the VPS runs a Wireguard server that I connect to on my OPNSense Router. The VPS then reverse-proxies all incoming traffic through the tunnel to my homelab. All my DNS entries point to the VPS’s IP. This pretty much gives me a static IP, hides my real IP, and lets me do some light caching on the VPS. Kind of like a DIY cloudflare.

I also run Uptime Kuma on the VPS, since it will continue to work if my local network is down.

Not sure how you tried to install it, but I managed to install it with docker a couple years back. Not sure it’s still up to date but here’s the docker-compose

You can also try onlyoffice or collabora. Have also a look at this.

alanine96 , to news in Moderation / Rules of "news" community?

What do people think of a “journalistic integrity” rule? I know that’s also subjective, but I’m trying to think of how to phrase a rule that is basically “don’t post intentionally incendiary crap”. I guess the rule could just be “don’t post intentionally incendiary crap”, with some examples of what that means and community opportunities to in some way indicate that an article is incendiary crap.

KaJashey , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

Mandolines are not you friend. They thirst for blood.

Seriously if you get one get a safety mandoline like the once for all brand.

SpaceNoodle ,

Kevlar glove.

yenahmik ,

Can confirm.

If you’re American, you don’t want to have to pay an ER bill when you slice the tip of your finger off, like I did.

Alton Brown recommends a Kevlar glove when using a mandolin.

This isn't malicious compliance, it's compliance with the law to the very letter. Good job.

SuperSpruce , to android in What are the best phones with headphone jacks?

Depends on your budget and location.

Unlimited budget: Sony Xperia 1 V ($1400). Has almost anything you’d want. SD8G2, MicroSD slot, etc.

High budget: Asus Zenfone 9 ($700). Great compact phone with a headphone jack. Alternatively wait for the Zenfone 10 to come out as it’s coming out this week.

Or even the Xperia 5 V ($1000), a slightly downgraded version of the 1 V.

Lower budget: Sony Xperia 10 V ($450). Expensive for the specs but you get outstanding battery life, 25-50% more than any other phone on this list. And it’s the only budget phone with a telephoto lens.

USA pick: Moto G Stylus 5G (2022). Can be picked up for $250 on Amazon and has excellent all-around specs for the price.

Europe/Asia picks: Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ ($350) if you want good cameras for the price. However the chipset might struggle with MIUI from time to time.

Xiaomi Poco X5 pro ($300). Good all-arounder at this price.

Xiaomi Poco F5 ($400). Best chipset out of all of these budget phones, at nearly flagship levels.

TheBest ,

The Zenphone 10 is launching in 3 days, it is also rumored to have a headphone jack like the previous Zenphone 9!

RvTV95XBeo ,

All I want in this whole world is a Zenphone 10 on Verizon. If literally any other carrier worked at my house (rural dead zone) I’d jump ship in a heartbeat.

No, but I’m an aerospace engineer who (at the time, or close to it) worked for NASA with a master’s degree in structures. A lawyer I know suggested that is that they prefer less educated people on the juries. Could be we’re difficult to sway, could be we’re just a pain in the ass.

oshitwaddup , to asklemmy in Favorite Sunscreen?

blue lizard sunscreen sticks are my favorite. They’re really lightweight so great for hiking, vegan/not tested on animals, reef safe, they last a long time, since it’s a stick you can’t get goop anywhere accidentally, and they don’t make my skin feel gross at all like most sunscreen does for me. I’ve never felt any burn in my eyes when sweating. They’re kinda expensive but imo worth it

It’s been a while, but I wanted to come back and thank you for this rec, because I really like the blue lizard sunscreen. I got the stick for my face and tube stuff for the rest of my body and I’m really pleased with them. These actually rub in very well and I’m not leaving white streaks on everything I touch.

oshitwaddup ,

Glad to hear!

PAPPP , to linux in Linux Laptop for (student) programmer

My usual suggestion: Get a generation-old business or workstation class machine from one of the major manufacturers, as a refurb. Mostly meaning keep an eye on Dell Refurbished or Lenovo Outlet - sometimes you can also get a deal on a refurb via woot - for something that appeals to you. The stock is always changing at those, and there are almost always sales/coupons for around 40% off at the first-party refurb stores, so +/- a week of patience can save you a bunch of money.

Business or workstation class machines (think Dell Latitude or Precision, especially the ones with models that start with a 7, or Thinkpad) are typically mechanically much better built than their consumer counterparts, and usually full of reputable components that are connected in standard ways - low end consumer stuff sometimes has issues where they got weird less-common components or connected things in stupid ways to save a few cents per unit that will cause driver issues.

Waiting a generation gives time for mainline kernel driver support to fully mature to minimize driver problems, and drastically cuts the price.

I’ve had several machines following that advice, and I think the only driver trouble I’ve had with them has been with unsupported fingerprint/smartcard readers, which I …don’t care about anyway.

Or, if you want a way cheap beater and don’t mind some hackin’, grab a used/refurbished AUE Chromebook that is on the Mr. Chromebox Supported List. AUE means they no longer receive ChromeOS updates, so their price craters to like $50, and you can flash a normal UEFI payload and use them as a (feeble, storage starved, low resolution) computer. Not a good main machine, but they make fun beaters for experimenting. There are often batches of them being dumped via woot.

…also, don’t buy anything with an Nvidia GPU unless you have a specific compelling reason, it’ll be a pain in your ass for the life of the machine.
