How should we be using Lemmy?

Reply in thread

There are different ways of relating to online content.

In some contexts I am more motivated to make contributions when I have reason to believe they will be persistent for years. I post on forums that have been around for 20+ years, where I search for things and come up with posts from that whole time. So when I write on there I kind of do it with care because I am thinking of people in the future who will find my stuff.

OTOH there is also a place for ephemeral communications. That is the whole draw of snapchat for example. The promise this will be deleted soon. Whether that is true or not is another thing.... But people do want it sometimes.

A lot of the fediverse reminds me of usenet and usenet was destroyed by spam. (Not by september(s).)

For my own purposes as a flesh n blood user I agree with you. However when I consider spam and its modern descendants, idk. Would it then be the case that any spam (etc) instance could just transport all its "user" data to a new instance?

The first act of the second episode of season 2 of DS9 is possibly the best scene in all of Star Trek

Reply in thread

I believe the scene OP is talking about is in Kira’s quarters

Ah I knew the scene by this description.

Later in this ep is one of my fav moments of all DS9. Kira in the creek moving rocks. Bareil comes to lay some charm but then the dark shadow of Winn on the bridge.. so polite. So politiq.

"You can stay here as long as you need.... Even a week!" or smthg like this.

Cut to the final eps of her a Dukat...

a.gup.pe groups

Guppe groups look like regular users you can interact with using your existing account on any ActivityPub service, but they automatically share anything you send them with all of their followers.

  1. Follow a group on @a.gup.pe to join that group
  2. Mention a group on @a.gup.pe to share a post with everyone in the group
  3. New groups are created on demand, just search for or mention @[email protected] and it will show up
  4. Visit a @a.gup.pe group profile to see the group history

is this like a hashtag?

Reddit Admins hand /r/SnackExchange over to a moderator with no experience. Other subreddit moderators fight in comments.

never heard of this sub and it sounds kind of gross just from the name tbh.

i find it hilarious that the new mod wants to implement an elaborate ID system and ??Escrow??. wow. he^1^ sounds like he would like to implement the stories told by all the conspiracy people on the sub. maybe he plans to put this on his job application for the gates foundation lololol Sounds like a deeeeeelicious time.

GOOD LUCK FRIEND

backups for SD card disk image? that don't take up tonnes of space and can be rolled back?

Reply in thread

Thanks I will look at rdiff. I am not sure if rsync is able to "see inside" the *.img files to discern the individual files. If it can then it would be helpful because I could just re-write the same file over and over again and keep backups using rsync or any of the various rsync-derrived tools?

The filesystem will be cold at time of back up because I will need to shut it down, remove the card from the console and put it into my computer's reader so no worries about that.
