I’ve been seeing a lot of users from alien.top commenting in various threads (mainly sports) lately. They only caught my attention because they are all flagged as bots and I typically manually block most bots (not all because there are some I like). For every one of them their entire post history consists of 1-2 comments or...
Website says the “undergoing maintenance” and has been for days. Is the service still working? I got their free trial a bit ago and liked it, and was right about to sign up when this happened....
I’m using the Lemmy ansible installation method. I’ve been trying to add sendgrid to the postfix section of the config.hjson file on my local machine. But where do I add the API key and username? I used port 587 but nothing works. Can anyone help walk me through how to integrate sendgrid into Lemmy-Ansible? Thanks!!...
Half the podcasts in my queue have suddenly become paid subscriptions. Meanwhile the overall industry is losing listeners. Seems like a lousy business model to not offer a free with ads feed. What a bizarre trend....
I’m currently (re)reading Moorcock’s The War Hound and the World’s Pain. Short synopsis - an educated, cynical, apostate and unapologetically brutal mercenary in the Middle Ages is recruited by Lucifer to recover the Holy Grail, nominally so that Lucifer can wheedle his way back into God’s good graces....
Hey, so I had recently gotten my laptop back from a repair shop after the frame for the screen came loose, and I just got it back today and the USB port isn’t working properly. I try to use my mouse and it doesn’t work, I got an older mouse and used it and it doesn’t work, but when I try charging my phone from the USB...
I’ve looked all over for this information and can not find it. A co-worker is selling fire sticks with a subscription that allows tons of live TV and movies/series on demand. The app seems to be called team blackout and is installed on a firestick. Hopefully you guys can help me figure out how he is able to provide this.
When I used to blog 10+ years ago I had a killer list of WordPress blogs I followed but as time went on I sort of gave up on the whole blogging thing and forgot about most of them. Now that WP is part of the fediverse I’m curious, what are some of your favorites?
I’m taking down my big Supermicro server to save energy and moving Plex/Jellyfin/*arr to a spare 10th gen Intel NUC with SSDs. Performance is fine for DirectPlay media to my SHIELD and mobile devices, but the onboard GPU power is limited and struggles to even transcode some 1080p media – let alone 4K. Does anyone have...
I’ve noticed in the past few months a new update has made it so that when I alt-tab or click/focus on one of the applications I have open on a separate monitor, the initial program will be greated as a background process and get capped to 30 fps. This usually isn’t a problem, but for Destiny 2 it occasionally causes...
This has been going on for over a year now. About a month after I delete items to free up space, my account will be full again with the items I deleted before. Or I will update a contact and a phone number that they no longer have will be returned to their info. What am I missing?...
Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it’s tankies all the way down, and it’s just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow,...
