ValueSubtracted , to startrek in (Meta) Do we have a general forum for this instance?
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

c/startrek is the "general" community of the instance, yes.

The error message on Jerboa is a known issue - unfortunately, we're going to wait until v.0.18.1 is released, as CAPTCHA is disabled in v.0.18.0, and we're not willing to give that up at this time.

There are three main workarounds that we're aware of for this issue:

  • When your Jerboa login fails, simply use Android's "back" button to return to the initial screen in the app - you should actually be logged in, and able to engage with the instance, at least in a limited fashion.
  • There is a fork of Jerboa that's supposed to compatible with instances running v.0.17 - I haven't tested this myself, so use at your own risk.
  • You can access the instance through a mobile web browser - the mobile web version of Lemmy is actually pretty good, and I preferred it over Jerboa even before the version mismatch became an issue. You can even install the instance as a PWA through Chrome's "..." menu.

Thanks for the quick response!

Ok, I'll probably wait for 0.18.1 before using it in jerboa. I know lemmy.world is having a similar issue right now, but it works in the Connect app, so maybe I'll try that or mobile browser until then.

aa

git ,

You should try Nala it is just an extension over Apt so 90% of same commands works but it adds things like parallel download, history and way nicer user interface. If a command doesn’t work on Nala you can still use Apt since they are compatible

That’s the kind of stuff I was looking for to move to Debian. Thanks a lot!

@czardestructo@lemmy.world avatar

It’s probably just one pump/motor per physical stand and if both sides of the stand are used at the same time you get half the flow rate since you’re sharing it with your neighbor.

APICO, a nice little beekeeping simulator with bee-breeding mechanics and building.

Ages of Conflict: World War Simulator, an incredibly cheap God-game/nation simulator. Not comparable to WorldBox, though. Just a little game for making nations fight and painting maps

Got a jug of Pimms at my side cos Tesco are selling bottles with £10 off for clubcard holders. Rammed it with ice, chopped oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries and mint and am about to go and sit on the front step and smoke and drink.

danie10 , to linux in Is Systemd that bad afterall?
@danie10@lemmy.ml avatar

We’d probably need to qualify this with “bad compared to what”. I can’t complain, as it does its job, and I’ve been able to tweak what I needed to. As I don’t tinker with it every week, I keep a sticky note rolled up on my desktop, or I quickly use ‘cheat systemd’ to remember some key examples.

I was getting really long start up time earlier this year (like 19 mins before the desktop was fully responding) and after trying everything else I tried ditching BTRFS and reverting my /home drive back to ext4. Turns out BTRFS start and checks was killing my boot times. Now, as fast as anything.

The following have been my saviours though in identifying boot times: journalctl -b -p err systemd-analyze blame --user systemd-analyze blame

assassin_aragorn , to youshouldknow in YSK: No Labels is a political party trying to run a spoiler candidate for President in 2024 that should not be taken seriously.

I remember reading an article that did a deep dive into them once, and I was absolutely astounded by just how much they embodied the "enlightened centrist". I didn't think there were an appreciable number of people who were actually like that.

They continue the trend really of there being no good third party in the US - largely because FPTP makes two large parties preferable.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

When you really look at their ideology, "enlightened centrists" are right-wingers who think they're smarter than the usual bigots that group has. This can be seen by the fact that they pretty much always will complain about hate speech being called out, but will not call out the hate speech itself.

assassin_aragorn ,

Yeah pretty much. It's always such a big tell.

Freckled_Daywalker ,

No labels is just a bunch of rich white dudes that want tax laws and legislation that makes them richer. They could not care less about social policy.

Lol

ShittyKopper , to nostupidquestions in How to share my content across Fediverse?

You can @ Lemmy communities and it will create posts there (not sure how well images federate)

Which instance you signed up only affects your “Local” feed (no idea if PixelFed has one, haven’t checked). If you’re posting primarily about your miniatures it may make sense to move to a specialized instance rather than a generic one like .social.

PixelFed and Masto federate really well so all you have to do is follow and get followed by people on the tabletop focused instances (which you already may be without realizing) for your things to end up in those communities.

There is also a.gup.pe though I have no clue how it intersects with Lemmy.

jantin OP ,

Thanks! I just tried testing the @-ing a Lemmy community, Pixelfed treated it as if I tried to find an user and said "no match found". I tried pasting a link to a pixelfed post in the "link" field in Lemmy post creation. It recognised the post/user but the shared media on Lemmy is ant-sized and requires more clicks (or a click on the link to get to pixelfed website).

I have chosen a mainstream instance as I believe it's less likely to be shut down due to e.g. its admin not being able or willing to pay for the server - so for stability. Do you think it's a wrong way of thinking? I'm new in Fediverse, and I'm aware that more small instances is better than a few big ones. But when I want to share something widely having an account on a big one seems reasonable?

ShittyKopper ,

Thanks! I just tried testing the @-ing a Lemmy community, Pixelfed treated it as if I tried to find an user and said “no match found”.

Hm, it would try to find a user, because communities are internally “users” that boost all the posts/comments they receive. ActivityPub isn’t as interoperable as it ideally would be, with all the hasty extensions, quirks of particular implementations, and with Lemmy being comparatively new it may make sense for you to open up an issue on the PixelFed GitHub, maybe they’ll look into it for you.

I know that people have been able to do the @ thing from Mastodon. So it may be some incompatibility between PF and Lemmy. The people who actually implemented them would know the details on why it’s not working.

I have chosen a mainstream instance as I believe it’s less likely to be shut down due to e.g. its admin not being able or willing to pay for the server - so for stability. Do you think it’s a wrong way of thinking?

The bigger a server the costlier it is to run. That’s true with every service. Most admins rely on donations on top of paying out of pocket, so as long as the small instance you’re on is tight knit enough that the few people there will occasionally chip in, shutting down won’t be too much of a concern.

But when I want to share something widely having an account on a big one seems reasonable?

As long as even 1 person from “a big one” follows you, your posts end up there, will be indexed by hashtags or what have you. So start following people and get followed back and eventually discoverability will sorta happen.

If there is a warhammer specific a.gup.pe group, consider @ing that as well, since the way it works (boosting all the content it receives to all it’s followers) it will have the same effect.

Tar_alcaran , to fediverse in In my opinion, having multiple accounts in different apps and instances is better than trying to combine them into the smallest amount of accounts

As long as I get to cram all those accounts into a single portal or app, that's fine by me. I dislike having to look at multiple places to get slightly different variants of the same content.

vinceman , to books in what book or books have you read that were so good that you didn’t want to put it down?

It’s probably been said, and is not exactly a hidden gem, but 1984 is something special. I read an excerpt of the first chapter and was hooked.

SuperSpruce , to asklemmy in what do you do when you're alone in an elevator

Turn the music from my phone speakers to near full blast if not wearing headphones. And maybe dance to it.

Trebuchet , to asklemmy in What are the strategic considerations behind the active spread of anti-vax theories?

It sows distrust in authority, so that those people will listen to fringe voices. These fringe voices tend to be grifters, scamming the rubes.

Politically it’s a binary issue, no room for compromise. If you’re anti-vax, you’re voting for the Republican candidate, despite what the other guy might be offering. So, this locks in votes and also plays into the long term strategy of having an uneducated underclass incapable of critical thinking. This provides cannon fodder for the politicians, and low paid drones for the fat cats.

codus , to fediverse in What communities are or aren't visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social?
@codus@leby.dev avatar

I’ve never been able to successfully sync posts from a kbin Magazine to Lemmy. I also haven’t seen Lemmy users show up in kbin communities so I assumed that subscriptions were unilateral (kbin users have access to Lemmy but not vice versa).
