  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

  • The prices differences of different providers for the same domain is crazy.

  • I think ID for new customers is widespread now because of the growth of scams. I enrolled at Porkbun from the US a number of years ago without ID (before they started asking for it) and they haven't asked me for it retroactively, so I don't think it's required, it's just something they do as an anti-scam measure. I've never tried for a UK or other national domain from them.

  • Kazakhstan Spent $5 Billion on a Death Star and It Doesn’t Even Shoot Lasers

    Jump

  • Article is from 2017. Can you put that in the headline? Since then, the big news from Kazakhstan is Dimash. I don't understand why anyone listens to Taylor Swift tbh.

  • What should a 22 year old do with a $100k+/year job (after tax)?

  • You're looking for investment advice? Lol, we're all broke here, but basically ask your broker about asset allocation funds if you don't want to actively manage individual investments. Yes, you do want an IRA, especially at your age. Tax deferred growth for multiple decades is super sweet. You can get an actual qualified financial advisor and ask about whether to get a Roth vs Traditional IRA. I don't remember the difference but your advisor will know.

  • Meta culpa: Mark Zuckerberg is realizing there's a limit to ruthless efficiency

    Jump

  • Fear and surprise, no prob. Ruthless efficiency = pushback. Fanatical devotion to the Pope -- WATCH OUT BRO.

  • I'm old enough to remember the cat in the hat, but had to look up who the hat man was.

  • Good luck with that, how about a star trek replicator while you're at it.

  • The beatings will continue until morale improves.

  • Is Google really going to cut throats of ALL the Open Source world?

    Jump

  • It occurs to me that everyone using phones might be why the quality of Lemmy posts is so low. It's too big a hassle for people to write anything informative through the phone keyboard, so they post a youtube link instead.

    I hope we start getting more Graphene and similar phones but I also see some benefits to adding a little friction to using them on text-heavy sites.

    And yeah, 6 billion phones users, but most of them don't give a crap about source code. So they're not really affected.

  • Mobile phones, sure, and they are important. But I'm typing on a Debian laptop right now. Not a phone. Phones aren't the whole world.

  • They're going to be more like Apple has been all along. It's annoying, but jeez, Android is not the whole world.

  • Ideas on methods to hide airpods on ears?

  • In ear hearing aids or similar?

  • Tesco UK supermarket chain removes 40,000 servers from VMware infrastructure, blames 'abusive conduct' from Broadcom

  • Someone must have told them about proxmox lol.

  • If you are coming from Reddit: YSK that Lemmy and Piefed have no karma. Don't delete your posts.

    Jump

  • Yes I see what you're getting at. IDK how a software change proposal would be received. It could be that the devs think that the other comments on the thread could somehow identify the original poster or the topic. On at least one reddit subgroup there's a bot that does that on purpose (copies the original post and maybe the author name into a thread comment). The reasons for the bot might be specific to the subreddit.

  • Devastating? Jeez.

    If you want to make a code change proposal, go ahead and make one. Otherwise, deletion is a feature offered to Lemmy users to use as they see fit. In fact some earlier (unrelated) proposals to speed up the software were rejected on the grounds that deletion is required to actually scrub the entry from the database, rather than simply making it inaccessible through the web. The scrubbing requirement may have been abandoned by now though.

    I half remember a Lemmy client (Voyager Jerboa?) with a user setting to automatically delete any post or comment that the user makes after 7 days or something. It had nothing to do with karma. I didn't use that setting but it seemed reasonable to me. Lemmy is a discussion forum not a long term archive.

    I do like the idea of adding a wiki feature to Lemmy, to hold info of long term value to a community. Reddit already has something like that.**

  • Hetzner prices have skyrocketed (up to 3x); how will this affect your Fediverse server?

    Jump

  • Object storage at Hetzner already went up by a lot, but for us peons, who really cares? Object storage was always stupidly expensive and most of us have just used the local storage on our servers, or else the very cheap (but somewhat slow) Storage Box product for backup.

  • Hetzner prices have skyrocketed (up to 3x); how will this affect your Fediverse server?

    Jump

  • They've hugely increased the prices for the higher priced virtual servers. Dedicated server prices have also gone up but not anywhere near as much. I've had a lower-end auction dedi for several years and it's a few bucks more per month now than when I got it way before the shortages. In fact after I got it, prices of comparable servers dropped by quite a lot, though I didn't bother migrating.
