Looks like it is supposed to be a Lemming, as they refer to it on their github page (4^th^ bullet comment). But I don’t think they actually give it a name.
Also, fun fact, (and trigger warning) the Lemmy logo isn’t symmetrical.
Most of the OnePlus series, including older models, is fully supported by LineageOS, and unlocking the bootloader is straightforward. That were the most important reasons for me to go OnePlus. For me and my family there was nothing else comparably easily supported by Lineage with a good price/performance ratio. We currently use 6T and 8T models, that we bought used. The only downside for me is the lack of a notification light.
Agree. But it’s not kids, it’s stupid people of all ages. Same thing happened with Reddit and with the Internet as a whole. Used to be you had to be a little smart to know you wanted to be on the Internet and figure out how to get it working. Then same was true of forums and IRC. Then same was true of Reddit. But then Reddit changed formats trying to be a TikTok style quick content scroll app, so idiots who just want to scroll started using the site and quality of discussions went down. I hope Lemmy grows but I hope the sign up process stays as it is, to weed out the extra stupid.
Reddit karma wasn’t about popularity or intelligence. It was about who got there first. If you shotgun enough comments into brand new threads your karma will skyrocket.
I think you‘re onto something. I read a lot of comments of people thinking the fediverse is too complicated to deal with and while I disagree - but also think it has issues - there does seem to be a barrier of entry for a good portion of people in the form of „inconvenience.“ So whoever is here really wants to be here and not just be an anonymous arse. I don‘t think you gotta be particularly smart, you gotta step out of your comfort zone.
Which part of it is supposed to be complicated? I’ve seen this argument many times, and while I’m still trying to figure out the user interface(s), the whole idea is pretty basic
Getting one’s head around the concept of instances is hard for some people who aren’t used to dealing with tech beyond the basic social platforms.
Is it one social media platform, or is it a bunch of individual ones? The fact that the answer is “it depends” is confusing. Especially when you get into defederation and cross-platform interaction.
Very true. I often make the mistake of thinking that if something makes sense to me pretty quickly, it will be just as quick for others.
We should remember that those of us here now are more likely to be uniquely interested in this tech and thus more able to wrap our heads around these concepts without being deterred. We could always do a better job making it accessible for beginners who don’t benefit from the same background.
I can‘t tell you since I also disagree. I did basically the same thing I did on Reddit, I only got thrown off seeing multiple „subs“ with the same name.
Some people complained how complicated „explanations“ are. I saw these types of comments on the Reddit Alternatives sub.
This kept me off Lemmy until the blackout. I was interested prior to that, but so many people said it was complicated, I figured I’d look into it at some vague point in the future when I had time to untangle the fediverse. Then the baclout happened, and what do you know I had time, and lo and behold it was easy. I’m now a bit annoyed I was dissuaded for so long based on BS about it being complicated.
I just had to find an instance (or “site”) that allowed sign-ups and register. My first account was on Kbin since it seemed less buggy on mobile. I feel like they think something’s complicated just because it’s on a website, or because there are multiple options.
Hmm this is also a good point. I’ve been explaining to redditors that Lemmy is not that complicated and only takes a couple minutes to get started. But reading this, now I’m hoping Lemmy can find the balance between number of active users and quality of content. I’m wondering if my spreading the word on reddit was a bad idea.
Maybe the “work” required to make the jump to Lemmy will be enough to keep lower quality content (for whatever reason) at bay for a bit longer, though. Of course, it won’t last forever. All we can do is make our communities good spaces from the get-go and try to maintain them carefully as we grow.
One of the main reasons is that you want to host multiple services on the same IPv4 and port since you usually only get one IPv4 (works for IPv6 too but there getting more than one from your hoster is a lot easier). This is known as name-based virtual hosting.
Another thing that is often (but not always) handled by a reverse proxy is SSL/TLS termination. That way the actual application doesn’t have to worry about the certificates or crypto-related security updates. Sometimes TLS is used again on the bit between the reverse proxy and the backend server but if they are both on the same physical machine that bit is often skipped.
There are also other services such as rate limiting, caching or fully featured Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and of course CDNs that come in reverse proxy form but you shouldn’t need to worry about those too much for a small personal website that isn’t used by thousands of users.
This answer says it all. A reverse proxy dispatches HTTP requests to several “backend” services (your applications), depending on what domain name is requested in the HTTP request headers. For example using Apache as a reverse proxy, a config block such as
will redirect requests made on port 443 with the HTTP header Host: media.example.org (for example a request to https://media.example.org/my/page) to the “backend” service listening on 127.0.0.1 (local machine), port 8096 (which may be a media server, a wiki, …). This way you only have to expose ports 80/443 to the outside network, and the reverse proxy will take care of dispatching requests to the correct “backend” service.
Most web servers can be used as reverse proxies.
In addition, since all requests go through the proxy, it is a good place to manage centralized logging, SSL/TLS certificates, access control such as IP whitelisting/blacklisting, automatic redirects…
I haven’t had any problem on Garuda with my AirPods. I saw another guy say he had no problems with manjaro and arch. I didn’t know people were having problems on other distros or setups.
Reddit doesn’t need to die, it just needs to become irrelevant.
I think it will still be around, but as a shell of its former self (or, a shell of a shell of a shell of its former self) to the point where it’s completely unrecognizable and no one wants to use it anymore. You know, like how Digg and Myspace are still around, but they might as well be completely different websites.
That's something I'm looking for as well, especially since Imgur frequently blocks VPN IPs. Not even my screenshot app offers any other hoster so I would assume it doesn't exist yet though.
Images should also be deleted after a while by default, for your quick "look at this" non permanent type of upload.
Hello, I think you would prefer to connect via internal dns names rather than static IPs. I have a slightly similar setup with docker compose creating a network for my apps.
Here I run my app and set the hostname. Note this app is on two docker networks, but for access from nginx it is on the “reverse_proxy” network: github.com/HugoKlepsch/…/docker-compose.yaml#L21
Here is a configuration file where I tell nginx where to find one of my apps on the reverse proxy docker network. Note the name references the name of the app and the docker network: github.com/HugoKlepsch/reverse-proxy/…/buzz.conf#…
Got no issues with AirPods Pro and arch. Installed blueman and it’s dependencies and it connected just fine. Managed to configure pipewire to automatically switch between a2dp sink and hsp depending on the current usage.
I thought you could put curly brackets on a new line in js? Although I know when returning an object it has to be on the same line… fuck JavaScript man
Hi, a post was just deleted asking about how and why the subscriber counts were different between instances. This seems to be a post that would help many understand the differences between Lemmy and non-federated networks, and quality content. It was not a support request, and fit into the first category of bullets above. Can this action be reversed and more clarity placed on rule 3 for users and mods (if needed)? Thank you.
Why are community subscriber counts different when watched from different instances?
I created two accounts on two different instances and all the communities I see have different subscriber counts depending from which account I look. Why does that happen and how can I see the real subscriber count?
i’m having trouble understanding how this isn’t a support request. It’s a (Why|How) <confusion with lemmy that has a single answer>.
. This seems to be a post that would help many understand
Yeah, all the support posts are like this. We get the same five over and over, but this community is not for support. I wouldn’t keep questions about knitting in !woodworking because they are helpful. This is simply not the place, unfortunately.
That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)
Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.
(Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)
