i almost mistook you for @penangkia…

i also see you waited 1 month before making your first comment, so welcome 🙂

i am very curious whether nixos does anything differently that would make your graphics experience better, but i wouldn’t be too hopeful

how about gentoo, slackware, pardus, gobo, nixos?

i guess if you game, then linux is mostly out of the question.

zen , 11 months ago to cafe in can someone teach me how to unpin a post and schedule one?

we really should see how to get this tag/mention thing working properly, i don’t think your mention of crabby here or my mention of naomi in my other comment in this thread is getting to them…because none of the mentions turned into a clickable link (to their profile page), which is what i usually see in mentions that work

according to the lemmy docs, it’s all done in the same way, through the 3 dots button on posts and comments.

however, i think the term used is different: sticky instead of pin. the screenshot on the docs show the 3 dots button on a comment, so no sticky button there. perhaps someone who is actually a moderator here can provide you with screenshots if the 3 dots button for posts (just below the title, in between title and contents) doesn’t work for you.

scheduling on the other hand, is done with a bot, contact @Naomikho for that.

they should run their own discord!

which flavors did you try?

and what problems did you need to troubleshoot (probably graphics cards?)

i think trending in this sense means lots of people have started subscribing to those communities, not that those communities have lots of posts

edit: you are also able to hide communities in user settings

i think every up/down vote federated event is stored in the database for 6 months or something, so it’s probably true that instance owners have access to that info

zen , 1 year ago to cafe in /c/café daily chat thread for 30 July 2023

if you are subscribed to lots of communities, it is not surprising.

i’m still seeing 0.18.2. by the way, are you still using lemmy easy deploy on your rpi4?

zen , 1 year ago to cafe in /c/café daily chat thread for 30 July 2023

that’s interesting. what were you using before macos, and why did you decide to switch?

as for utm, are you running windows or linux on it?

another foss virtualization project for mac that i’ve come across is xhyve, but that doesn’t seem to be receiving updates lately.

zen , 1 year ago to cafe in /c/café daily chat thread for 30 July 2023

it’s alright 👌

don’t scare our admins 😱

monyet already has a dev instance, so they can import the db from the main instance there, and do the db migrations to see if that’ll succeed.

precautionary measures can be taken on the dev instance so it doesn’t attempt to federate with all the data from here.

i can think of (for testing out db migrations on the dev instance):

• run lemmy_server with the –disable-scheduled-tasks cli flag, which will prevent background federation tasks from running (so federation events will only be triggered by actual interaction, like posting, voting, subscribing, and of course such things should not be done on the dev instance)
• if that’s still not enough and we want to be extra sure the dev instance doesn’t federate with data from over here, then just block outgoing http/https connections at the firewall while doing the db migrations try-out (also don’t run lemmy-ui and just watch the docker logs for it to say migrations completed successfully)

i think the lemmy.zip admins said they’re still trying to work out a way to spin a dev instance on a dedicated server, but monyet already has a dev instance, so the db migrations can be tried first to ensure safety.
