exscape , to technology in I’m considering setting up a server for various uses, advice?

A different kind of advice: be vigilant with security updates, and remove services you're not using.
Using insecure software makes it likely you'll get hacked sooner or later, especially if automated scans can find your server. (For example because it's listed in a search engine, or part of some network like the fediverse).

Cat toy? Probably not. Stronger lasers can absolutely mess up the pilot’s eyesight and put you in jail, but a low-powered one is unlikely to cause harm. Still, never shine anything at an airplane.

I like this because it reminds me of Lemmings.

My mum has been a single mum her whole life, and when I was a kid she couldn’t always get the most popular games but I believe she was told Lemmings would be very good. She got an entire box set, including a Christmas edition! At first I was of course distraught, until my brother installed it on his PC and I would constantly ask to play it. So many hours went into it, and it’s not the first time my mum had really surprised me with something I didn’t know I’d end up appreciating so much. I think I still have it somewhere…

If you’re able to share that memory with her please do so. It’s very nice!

JadenSmith ,

Thank you, I often do. I sometimes show her the Pacman game she got me whilst abroad, thinking it was Pokémon Yellow, and reminding her that I actually really enjoyed it and wouldn’t have known about all the various collections of Pacman if she didn’t follow my very crude description of Pikachu (which thinking back, could have been describing Pacman as well lmao).

She’s going through chemo treatments, so it’s more important to remind her of these things. For me at least.

If the pilot is a cat, I’m sure it would

skbo , to selfhosted in Recommend me an RSS feed reader

I use miniflux which is minimalist, yet has a lot of features.

As miniflux serves the Fever API, I can use nice RSS clients that sync across all my devices (like Reeder for iOS and macOS).

If Reddit keeps going the same way Twitter seems to be, then there won’t be a Reddit app for much longer.

Usually game wikis are quite good, I don’t think there’s a single alll encompassing resource though

@simple@lemmy.world avatar

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

Dnn ,

Why are speculations voted higher than this accurate answer? Link to the Github page for everyone to check: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#whys-it-called-lemmy

Patariki ,

Yes i realy miss an option to sort comment by votes as default. I hope that gets implemented at some point.

The koopa is named after the lead singer from Motorhead IIRC

@shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol avatar

My favorite part is that Lemmy Koopa was also named after mister Kilmister.

Beliriel ,

Lemmy was basically God in the metal scene.

stuffandthings ,

Thank you. I saw a comment claiming it was named after the butt gerbil from South Park. I am relieved to know that it is not.

I was wondering how from Koopa. I only knew of Bowser. I’ve never seen Lemmy Koopa. Thanks for that.

Skyrim! You’re already used to FPS games, so the first person part of Skyrim should be a breeze (you can toggle to 3rd person too). It’s one of those adventure games that will really stick with you. My wife and I will both come back to it often.
