You mean like the one linked here? Or something with a specific URL like “killedbymozilla.com”?

Aha. Well, I guess I’m not the target audience because I can’t be bothered to go through the installation steps. It’s not in the LMDE repository, but I wish it were!

Hmm, that’s not working for me. You mean use those as options? ‘ls -eza’?

I learned you can edit .bashrc (in your home dir) and update the alias for ls to include what I like. It has saved me lots of keystrokes. Mine is ls -lha in addition to whatever color coding stuff is there by default.

Black Olives (or green, either way).

I use them when warranted, which isn’t very often. I don’t think the avoidance of using swears is a religious thing, it’s a language/cultural thing. For some reason they’re just deemed “bad words”. They exist in almost all languages and cultures as far as I know.

A good friend of mine swears a lot unless kids are around. I don’t mind it, but he’s sort of “that guy” because of it. If he was someone I just met, I’d think he’s just a bit lowbrow and that’s about it. I wouldn’t think poorly of anyone because of it as long as their attitude is good.

People look at expensive houses more often than not. You can definitely send someone, though, like if you’re looking at a house in a different city and can’t get there just for a showing. We did that once and had our friend do a video chat with us.

We decided to not host any sort of Buy-Sell-Trade community on our hobby instance for this reason. It’s a small community so a lot of people know usernames of people they know and can trust. It’s very easy for a scammer to use someone’s username and say “I’ll sell you that thing! Send me $150!”.

Honest quetion, what’s a stan account?

Yeah true, an alert above a certain speed makes a lot of sense.

The dogs looks like it’s thinking “man, I just can’t seem to get away from this guy”.

That’s a hydraulic lifter, not a driveshaft. The bed was raised and hit the sign.

You need to be able to move when dumping stuff. Above a certain speed an alarm would make sense, but disabling the truck once it’s up to speed is dangerous.

You need to be able to move while dumping stuff. A beeping noise during normal operations would be so annoying, people would just figure out how to disable it.

An alarm above a certain speed would make sense, though.

Expired?

Would make a good gag gift.

They hit the nail on the head, there.

There was an asklemmy thread asking something like “what change would you like to see on Lemmy”, and I answered that I’d like to see the communists be nicer. I tried to be gentle to not upset them, but I guess they just have a victim mentality and some of them decided to defend their shit attitude. It went about how I expected.

I was just glad I didn’t get banned, but that’s more of a problem with lemmy.ml (I’m not privy to how things are handled on hexbear).

Oh that’s cool. I was right, only 9 monthly users.

We run on the cheapest Hetzner VPS we can, which is about $8 USD/month. Pictrs are on cloudflare R2. Pictrs storage hovers around 14GB and we have yet to get a non-zero invoice.

Our active users are super low (I think). I don’t think the lemmy interface tells you the number of active users for in instance, just for communities, but since it’s a niche instance I can safely say it’s around 10 people.

So that’s a little less than a dollar per month per user. On the existing VPS I think we could safely add a bunch of users without needing to upgrade.

Ah, interesting. That experience combined with the wording of “this update requires postgres 16”, I can see where the confusion comes from.

Interestingly enough, they fixed the documentation. Now it says “We recommend upgrading to PostgreSQL 16 due to a known memory leak in PSQL 15. To use the new image proxy feature, pict-rs version 0.5+ is required.” https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4_-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

My understanding is that postgres doesn’t need to be upgraded. It’ll still work with version 15 or whatever you have. Postgres 15 has some sort of memory leak that they’re trying to get away from, so they made 16 the new default.

Same with the “requirement” to upgrade pict-rs to the latest version. You can keep the old version if you don’t care about the new image proxy feature.

Really it’s a not a problem of needing to upgrade this stuff, but a problem with the documentation which isn’t clear. That’s a big weak spot for the Lemmy project in my opinion. I only learned the above information from lurking a bit in the Matrix chat.
