  • Prediction: Microsoft Is Going to Do the Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • This is just the same "Year of the Linux Desktop" copium regurgitated.

    I love using Linux, but there functionally is nothing wrong with Windows either. Much of the world is happily using W11. And Linux has some very rough edges that aren't going away either, we just learn to live with them.

  • What should we be doing, individually, to increase Lemmy's userbase?

  • I personally dislike the cross posting in lemmy, as it results in seeing the same post 3-4 times in a row, which is kinda annoying as well. I believe piefed does it better (dunno if anyone can confirm that?).

  • Those niche communities work on reddit because there is a huge userbase to keep them alive. If you create them here, you get an empty community that looks dead, which discourages people from posting.

    Having an active "hobbies" community going first, and then later splitting off the "knitting" community when it's clear that there are lots of knitters means that you don't get empty dead communities.

    You can't force the niche community into existence, it has to grow organically.

  • Does become a bit of a philosophical question though doesn't it: Is a community really moderated if it has zero activity?

    Also, I somewhat object to the framing of "moderators owning communities". I don't own the community I mod, I serve it. If it was a ghost town, and closing it down would prevent people stumbling into it and wasting their time, I would be completely in favour of it.

    Jump

  • Yeah, the ship has largely sailed. But also, there are lots of communities that are empty and also functionally unmoderated, so some could be removed.

  • Honestly, I think we have way too many communities. Cull them back to a small set of fairly broad communities: Arts, Tech, Politics, etc. Once those are active enough, then start to subdivide as the sub communities grew to a sufficient size to self-sustain.

    What happened instead, was people tried to create all the same communities that reddit has, without the people to sustain them, and now it looks like a ghost town.

  • Do corporations really do research?

    Jump

  • Depends on the Corp, some do legit cutting edge work, some really don't do much actual research.

  • Would it be realistic to try to set up an america-free instance?

    Jump

  • Join your countries instance? I'm fairly sure the people in Aussie.zone aren't American. You could also put your flag in your display name.

  • Closing programs

    Jump

  • That isn't exclusively true. Programs can capture SIGTERM and ignore it, or do as they please, SIGKILL is non-negotiable though.

    Windows does have an equivalent to SIGKILL as well, in taskkill /F.

  • Can we share our work?

    Jump

  • r/rust is the same, so much vibe garbage :(

  • This neverending asking for a valid license is really annoying. Why don't you cache this shit?

    Jump

  • Never ending? I use JB toolbox, and I never get prompted for a valid license. It's just always licenced.

  • Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab?

    Jump

  • Annoyingly, disk discovery. It refused to use my disks, claiming they didn't have serial numbers. I could see the serial numbers in the frontend and the console, but their middleware just hated them.

    I am using a USB multi-disk drive thing, which didn't work properly on an old kernel, but it should have been fine with the new kernel.

    I reported the bug, which didn't really get addressed, and then had to build my array using the command line tools (which aren't documented).

  • I dunno about recommending FreeNAS (Known as truenas now). It is basically an appliance OS, and unless you are using enterprise level hardware, they want nothing to do with you.

    I'm currently using it, but it was a very unpleasant experience setting it up.

  • People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative?

    Jump

  • You're not wrong, but the only difference (and time will tell if its sufficient), is that they intentionally and explicitly use the free tier for advertisement, so killing that kills their reputation overnight.

    But if all else fails and they try to enshitify, their apps are BSD licenced on github, and headscale is adequate, so the free tier would just shift to headscale and carry on.

  • Thank you [Honorary] Pedantry :D. "ad" just felt wrong somehow, but you are correct. I have fixed it, sorry for the pain and suffering I caused you :D
