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

I read almost exclusively fantasy and sci fi. Here’s a few favourites.

Sci fi: Red Rising Trilogy Bobiverse The Martian and Project Hail Mary

Fantasy: The First Law Trilogy (my absolute favourite of everything I’ve read) Brandon Sanderson (literally any of his stuff. If you’re looking for a trilogy, start with Mistborn and if a stand alone, Warbreaker). Don’t be overwhelmed by his Cosmere world, if you only read mistborn era 1 it wraps up in a nice bow. Robin Hobbs first trilogy is a nice introduction to her series. If you don’t love it it wraps up nicely after the first trilogy.

Dystopian: Unwound by Neal Schusterman Arc of the Scythe by Neal Schusterman

chilidoghedgehog ,

You have EXACTLY the same taste as me. I definitely need to read First Law.

LoganNineFingers ,

Nice!

I haven’t read Joe Abercrombie’s stand alone novels that follow after The First Law but apparently they’re even better. My favourite stuff used to be Sanderson until I read this.

My lemmy name is also my favourite character from that trilogy as well

I'm sorry, are you saying you indent the braces? Cause if that's not unintentional, those are both horrifying!

@clueless_stoner@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think people call themselves lemmings either, lol. Most are just, like, neutral to the theme. We’re all just users on the fediverse.

quazar , to nostupidquestions in Why do we call ourselves lemmings when Fedier is such a better name?

how does one pronounce fedier?

Zeus ,

like grenadier or bombardier, i guess?

quazar ,

still don’t know fed-eee-er? fed-EYE-er?

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

Imajica by Clive Barker.

Strae ,

Reading this right now, and a little over halfway through. Enjoying it, but it took a long time for me to really sink my teeth into it. It’s a very long book and a slow burn.

sundowner ,

It’s so intricate and intimate - I just disappeared into the book and isn’t that what we need sometimes?

PlaidDragon , to linux in Is Systemd that bad afterall?

A lot of the people I see complaining about it are comparing to what was before it.

As someone who has only ever known systemd, I have no issues with it and, dare I say: I like it.

I’ve read this can depend a lot on the bluetooth card. Personally after replacing my cheapo dongle from like 2012 that probably just didn’t do a recent enough BT version I didn’t have any issues connecting to them.

What card do you have? Might be useful for anyone else who has the same issue.

I only have used TPB… but I’m an old millennial out of the loop. What is a better alternative? Is there a guide for dummies?

youthinkyouknowme ,

1337, careful to not confuse with 1377.

But then what does /c/ mean?

If we're lemmings, then these are /c/liffs

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

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.)

fmstrat , to asklemmy in No support here! [Please report support posts]

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.

Cloak OP ,
@Cloak@lemmy.ml avatar

For posterity, the post in reference is this

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.

Why do you think it’s not a support post?

zygo_histo_morpheus ,

only good thing about javascript is that it forces people to put the squiggly brackets on the right

bcrussin_dev ,

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

algounchained , to linux in Linux and AirPod Pros

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.

HAMSHAMA , to selfhost in [Question] Best way to set up docker containers that depend on other container

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.

Docker compose that creates the network: github.com/HugoKlepsch/…/docker-compose.yaml

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

This compose is running nginx as a reverse proxy for my local apps. It uses the reverse proxy network: github.com/HugoKlepsch/…/docker-compose.yaml#L4

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#…

fernandu00 OP ,

Wow what a reply! Thank you so much! I could set up all containers using the pihole as DNS using hostnames…your post helped me a lot!

DarkThoughts , to fediverse in What's a good replacement for Imgur to link pictures/albums to Lemmy?

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.

ulu_mulu OP ,
@ulu_mulu@lemmy.world avatar

I tried PIxelfed, it's basically a blogging platform with pictures, not exactly a replacement for Imgur for the way I use it.

I guess there's not enough demand yet in the fediverse for a simple picture "manager" platform.

DarkThoughts ,

Yes, it's more of a Instagram type social media platform for photos.
