Missing the All About Android podcast? Check out Android Faithful
I didn’t know Ron, Huyen and Mishaal had kicked off a new show last week. I’m glad they did. Has a completely different vibe to the others I’ve tried. I gave up on Android Central. Material podcast wasn’t my thing. I still listen to Android Police because of Daniel and Ara. I even gave Tech News Weekly a shot because...
Favorite 2-factor authenticator?

Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon?
I’d like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I’d much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it....
Internet issues
I am just dipping my toes into Linux. I have dual booted Ubuntu on my main machine. Right now I don’t have access at all to a wired connection. I have a TP link archer T2U usb Wi-Fi adapter that I have used and works (on my windows half). However, I can’t use the Wi-Fi adapter because I am missing the drivers on Linux and...

[SOLVED] New Lemmy Admin
EDIT: With thanks to u/[email protected], I have a solution for cleaning up the one table that is growing ridiculously in size and that is the activity table. A TRUNCATE activity; command cleaned that right up. A word of caution is in order because the Lemmy instance must be shutdown completely and only the postgres container...
Are the James Bond books worth reading?
I’m a big fan of the movies and I’ve know for a while that the character is based off a series of books, but I’ve never gotten around to actually picking any of them up.
YSK: How to Budget
Budgeting is a very crucial part of your finances that will either break you or make you survive into another month. I have a very unpopular belief that says, if we take away the inflation issue, take away the wage issue and wage theft problem in America. I do believe that a lot of people are just simply bad with money....
Advice/poll on switching away from Ubuntu for my VM host.

How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit”

What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️
So, up front, I’ll admit I’m one of those guys that gets hung up on tiny, largely irrelevant quirks in apps. Yeah, I’m great fun at parties....
Anybody feel like 2023 could be another 1997 for Star Trek?
The quality of Star Trek in 1997 was an embarrassment of riches. Some of the best parts of the Dominion War on Deep Space Nine, Scorpion and Year Of Hell on Voyager, and First Contact in theaters. It was a great year to be a Star Trek fan!...
Short Videos and Playback
Would be cool if we can upload short videos to a peertube instance and embed them into posts rather than relying on reddit, YT, or Vimeo....
Is there a Decentralised Spotify / Music Platform Alternative?
So I know about Mastodon, Lemmy / Kbin, PeerTube, and Element but is there a Fediverse alternative to Music & Podcasts (preferably one that doesn’t connect to Crypto)
