Suboptimal ways to respond to a public security incident (lemmy.stuart.fun)

This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly “we’re handling it and removing this” is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix....

slashzero ,

Yes, there is: 0.18.2-rc.1, which has the hot fix, but will also require a DB query to “fix” the modlog once upgraded.

There are so many great episodes to chose from. Since most of the ones I’d pick have already been listed by others, here are my favorites that haven’t been mentioned yet:

  • Time’s Arrow
  • Cause and Effect
  • Relics
  • Data’s Day

Time’s Arrow is such a great two-parter, I’m surprised no one has mentioned it yet!

slashzero ,

Same!

Also the source of a great meme!

No luck getting my Lemmy instance up and running, is this a good place to get some help?

I’m not exactly a linux beginner but I’m far from an expert and I could use some pointers. I have a domain and a VPS through Namecheap, I chose Ubuntu 20.04 LAMP and I’ve tried several guides to get this working but something always goes wrong sooner or later....

Hi there! This sounds like you might just have a typo in your docker-compose.yml file. It might be helpful if you posted your docker-compose.yml contents here (be sure to remove any sensitive information).

Line 26 of my docker-compose.yml file is the volume block/map for letsencrypt. Did you perhaps mix tabs and spaces, or have one too many spaces in your indentations, in your yaml file? That’s a no-no…

Personally, I setup my instance using the same guide as you, opting for the docker containers. There were definitely a few pitfalls to deal with.

slashzero , (edited )

I recommend using the docker images directly. As you see, the ansible scripts are basically another abstraction layer used to build the docker containers and their configs (and has string substitutions like {{some_string}} which are not valid for docker-compose.yml). Some will disagree but I feel ansible adds unnecessary complexity to deploying lemmy containers.

Anyway, glad you figured it all out!

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to look at this, but I’m mostly on mobile and the link doesn’t work.

For future reference you can put it in a code block and lemmy-ui should be able to render it for you.

[Question] Installing Lemmy instance from docker -> 502 bad gateway

Hi, does anybody have an idea what the reason could be? I installed a lemmy instance on a VPS using the docker images. Beforehand I installed nginx and got a letsencrypt - certificate (which seems to have worked). I downloaded the nginx.conf file from github and made the configurations, also in the lemmy.config and...

slashzero ,

Hi there!

TL;DR: probably have an nginx misconfiguration. Check the nginx logs for errors.

You don’t need to install and run nginx on the host. It has its own container in the docker-compose.yml which gets started up on docker-compose up -d

If both instances of nginx are trying to bind to the same port, one will start and one will fail.

Is the lemmy proxy nginx docker container running? Check with: docker ps or docker container ls. If the lemmy nginx proxy container isn’t running, try stopping the host instance of nginx (systemctl nginx stop) and restart docker lemmy (docker-compose down, docker-compose up -d), then try to access your site again.

To the people that still have the reddit app installed

If you have it installed on iPhone, thats fair, i have it, to promote lemmy, but please just turn “allow tracking” of in settings, so they cant make money from the data thet collect, also background refresh, because I’m pretty sure that also allows them to get a bit of data from you

slashzero ,

I turned that off, as well as show online status, years ago.

You should disable tracking everywhere you can. Opt-out of personalized ads. Enable the do not track feature.

There was a pretty big jump in active instances, too!

Active daily user count is about 50k.

Tuvix.

You’ve had first complete watch of Star Trek, yes. But what about second watch?

Now you can join the rest of us in rewatching it all over and over!

I’m on season 7 of DS9 of my… how many times have I watched this? I’ve lost count. A few days ago I had to watch Tears of the Prophets. Always a sad episode to watch. Voyager is next in my queue.

slashzero ,

Believe me, I know. As I’ve said, I’ve lost count of how many times I have rewatched everything. I’m looking forward to watching Voyager again as soon as I complete season 7 of DS9.

slashzero ,

There are a lot of things to like about DS9. I’ll try to name some without spoiling anything.

One of the main ones is the fact it shows a darker more realistic side of humanity that at the time wasn’t present in other Trek. It feels a little more “grown up,” I guess?

Another is the caliber of Avery Brooks’ acting (and the rest of the cast,) but Avery Brooks in some of the episodes is just truly amazing…

  • Far Beyond the Stars
  • Past Tense
  • The Visitor

By second to third season the cast really gels and you just love every single one.

All the crap O’Brien goes through (you will finally truly understand all the memes)

Worf joins DS9 season 4 and adds even more great stories and interactions within the cast/crew

The entire overarching plot of the Dominion war and how it impacts the Federation (federation… heheh)

The whole Sisko / Emissary / Prophets story line across the entire 7 seasons and how he grows into that role

All the Holosuite episodes, but especially “Take Me Out To The Holosuite”.

All the Klingon episodes and interaction… Gowron, Martok, Worf

There are so many good characters, not just the core / Sr. Officers / main cast

GARAK… Garak is worth watching the entire 7 seasons just by himself.

Dukat, Winn Adami

Liquidator Brunt FCA

Romulans…

Ferengi… MOOOOOOOOOGIE… ROM and Nog… The Grand Nagus… and of course Quark… Little Green Men

THE DEFIANT (one hell of a ship)

To name a few… I could go on.

And of course, there are always the oddball episodes that continue to be a running joke within the DS9 community…

Move along home!

slashzero ,

Wait, another one? Or is this a repost of the one I already subbed to?

slashzero ,

I’m subbed from my instance, hakbox.social. Does that count towards the total subs? How does that work?

slashzero ,

Thank you for confirming that! I would not make sense if it didn’t count all subs including external instances.

slashzero ,

All my Reddit subs are slowly making it over here! Not a local anymore, but I lived a good 10 years in San Diego. I miss good burritos, especially the California Burrito.

slashzero ,

Hell yeah! Let’s go Padres!

slashzero ,

I’m going to make my own Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!

slashzero ,

Ooh, that’s a good one. I use that a lot too.
