This reminds me of a great video about this sort of principle in reverse: https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0

Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline in c/news@lemmy.world

It's different in different markets. In Australia and New Zealand it's usually a reasonably well made medium-dark blend.

You'll get much better at any dedicated café, but it's also miles better than sbux (who don't even use real espresso machines).

I enjoy OpenMW and I'm happy to host if you want, although my instance is basically just me and a few friends right now.

Just ported my awesomewm theme to hyprland + nixos in c/unixporn@lemmy.world

That's a nice rice!

How are you finding awesomewm? I've just been on i3 since forever but I'm always interested to hear about other WMs

I use ChromeOS btw. in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I use Alpine Linux quite a bit, which is a Linux distro that doesn't use the GNU coreutils or glibc.

Also even giving GNU such a high level in the name on a distro like Arch makes little sense imo because other components like systemd are arguably much more important than one of many libc libraries you can optionally use and a bunch of coreutils you can also optionally use.

I attempted to boot Mandrake/Mandrivia on an old laptop once and failed, then I mucked around in Slackware's live CD for an afternoon. The first thing I actually installed and used daily was Ubuntu 10.04.

Any way to run lemmy => 0.19.2 in docker on arm64? It crashes with error 139 in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I'm running on 0.19.3 without any issues on Linux arm64. I built my own docker image though.

The web is built on hot linking hypermedia. It is more fragile obviously, but it distributes the bandwidth and storage load. If nobody hotlinked, then small forum admins/Lemmy admins/etc. have considerably more cost to bear.

Need help with making Linux my home in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] nick@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don't think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

HDR support is still very early/basic right now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

I don't think there's any malice here. Someone just forgot to put up a robots.txt on the bard website.

Query to fix modlog (campfyre.nickwebster.dev)
 

The modlog page can break if anyone has been banned with an expiry too far into the future, I grabbed this query to fix it from the github issue a while back and refined it a little if it's useful to anyone:

BEGIN;
-- The modlog UI breaks for bans too far in the future
SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
-- Lets just make them permanent as an easy fix lol
UPDATE mod_ban SET expires = NULL WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
-- See our changes
SELECT * FROM mod_ban WHERE expires > now() + INTERVAL '10 years';
ROLLBACK;
-- replace ROLBACK; with COMMIT; if you're happy

This will make any ban with an expiry >10 years into the future permanent and fix your modlog. If this happens a lot it might be worth making this a trigger in your lemmy db.

Do you often find yourself wondering about the true nature of Ogrim nipple-piercings? Does the mythology of Space Pirate Captain Harlock make your head spin? Do you want to learn more about the metaphysics of Sword Art Online, your favorite Cambodian Silent Film? Do you find your questions, concerns, and philosophical quandaries unaddressed by Final Fantasy: Online?

Worry not. !TrueSTL@campfyre.nickwebster.dev is a place that encourages discussion on any and all facets of CHIM, Dragon Breaks and the Hist, the greater bodies of Elder Scrolls fiction, without judgement or prejudice.

Here at !TrueSTL@campfyre.nickwebster.dev, every Muatra is big enough to achieve CHIM.

FYI I made a patch for lemmy that turns off pictrs caching (github.com)
 

I was getting close to hitting the end of my free object storage so there was time pressure involved haha.

Seems to work but I haven't tested it too much. Currently running on my instance.
