Iāve tried just about all of the current apps that are available for lemmy over the last two days and so far liftoff feels the most like a usable app to me. To ve fair, I know that a lot of rhe apps I tried are still in alpha or beta, so Iām not trying to talk bad about them, I get it. Liftoff is pretty good though.
The Subscribed feed is showing up empty. Other settings regarding the feed work fine, but the Subscribed feed is broken. Also, replies showing up as double replies, one below the other, once you reply to a post.
And you could make the search menu a bit moreā¦ friendly. Currently you have to add instances in order to search for communities in them. Not practical at all, there are hundreds of instances, if I had to add each one in order to search in them, that will just take way too long. Why not have instance and communities auto-discoverable, like in Jerboa (type in search the community youāre lookimg for, results pop up).
About the search menuā¦ unless Iām mis understanding thatās just how Lemmy works. You have to be subscribed or at least have search for a community outside of your instance before you can interact with it within your instance.
Actually, no. If at least one user from your instance has subscribed to a community of another instance, that other instanceās communities show up in your search results (they are federated)ā¦ at least that is how it should work 100% of the time, but it doesnāt. In most cases, it doesnāt actually show all of the communities that would show up during a search, meaning the web UI would return a lot more results.
The method youāre using is actually a safe bet: specify the instaceās URL and donāt have to rely on whether that specific instance is federated with my instance, just search for communities there as well. That approach is easier if you actually have a link to the community which youād like to add and the instance on which it resides. But, if you have no idea on what instance that community might reside, itās easier to actually seach for it via the web UI, which I hoped would be implemented in an app sooner or later (having relevant results I mean).
Yeah Iām wanting to implement that into liftoff. Thatās the main feature Iāve been wanting in apps.
To clarify this app is a resurrection of an abandoned Lemmy app, when this app was active Lemmy was not as popular and we didnāt have massive instances like Lemmy world. Working through this is a fun challenge but itās also a user experience challenge. What instance are you having issues with?
This seems like a golden opportunity for distros like Suse and Ubuntu, who offer enterprise support for their free product, to poach some RHEL customers.
I wish Olā Debian would get the love it deserves, especially for enterprise where their āstability over the latest flashiest softwareā philosophy should really shine. People on the desktop side criticizing how slowly Debian packages update is generally responded with āwell itās a server OS first and foremost, the Debian derivatives are more suited for desktop,ā so why does no one use Debian for servers? And as far as I know Debian has always prioritized stability and reliability above anything else, and have never pulled any sort of corporate antics even close to what Canonical and Red Hat have pulled.
Iām using it. Almost 200 servers at work. No problems whatsoever. I almost smile reading news like this, because it shows me I did the right thing betting on debian
I literally just got Rocky installed on two servers. We were going to field test before migrating to a paid subscription. That sure as hell isnāt happening now. If IBM cannot help but to bite the hand that fed it, then I have little confidence they arenāt going to turn into another Oracle.
If IBM cannot help but to bite the hand that fed it
Which hand was feeding them and how are they biting it?
Idc about IBM but the saying makes little sense to me here. Itās not like Ubuntu annoying Debian which at one point was their upstream. They find upstream up to fedora and beyond.
If anything, Distros like Alma and Rocky bite the hand that feeds them by offering paid support contracts. Nothing is illegal about that. But I think the saying fits the reverse better.
Based on my understanding, Fedora will be unaffected but Rocky & Alma are in some hot water along with Scientific Linux. RHEL is based on Fedora while the others are based on RHEL.
Just because Iām interested in the hole NixOS thing, I was wondering how much difference there is between NixOS and Guix, I know Iāve spun both up in a VM and while they are similar, Guix is different enough that I canāt find the main config file. So can someone give me a quick description of the difference?
I wish there was a better way to judge the lightness of full desktop environements than just ram consumption, because speed and smoothness can vary greatly regardless of ram, so we know whether of not it runs well on shitty laptop, lxqt being no faster than xfce in my experience is pretty telling of that
Maybe you should search for some rolling release distribution. Iām using Arch since many years and am quite happy with it. You rarely have to build anything yourself. Only if you have to use the AUR.
In my opinion: Yay for people not tech savy, so they canāt bork their system, and it prevent most malware to do damages. Or for special devices, like the Steam Deck!
Nay for thinkerer like me, if I want to uninstall the boot loader, I need the option!!
Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you're the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it's out, then it's probably not for you.
The crash started apparently out-of-the-blue, hitting thousands of Argentinian users on a Debian-based distro called Huayra, and specifically on version 5 which was based on Debian 10.
Everybody seemed to crash while searching for images on Google.
Googleās code was allocating 20000 variables in a single frame.
