Just because Steam offers a DRM option doesn't mean that it's mandatory:

I found the same IPs doing the same thing for my server, but one thing I noticed in the access log was that nginx was returning a 499 status code. That code means that the client closed the connection before the server answered the request. So this seems to be a deliberate attack instead of the rash of bots many have been dealing with recently. They just firehose out requests to DoS the server since pagination on services with dynamic data is expensive.

I ended up creating a fail2ban rule to add any IP to my firewall blocklist that makes a bunch of 499 entries.

Edit: I also set a rate limit in nginx for any url that has a "page" query included

Kbin allows user-level instance blocking, so that functionality should be feasible to implement in lemmy eventually.

• If you're the kind of person to keep yourself busy all day, then when you're trying to go to sleep might be the first time all day you've allowed your mind to wander! You need to find some other time in the day to allow yourself to daydream. Some tips are to not read anything while in the bathroom or turn the radio off in your car if you have a commute. Maybe even schedule some time to sit and think about things if you can.
• Only use your bed for sleep and sex. Reading, eating, browsing on your phone, watching TV, or any other activity should be done elsewhere. This way you train yourself that it's sleeptime when you're in bed.
• This is probably something that can't be done if you have a rotating shift, but go to sleep on a regular schedule. Go to sleep at the same time every day. Staying up late should a rare occurrence. Your body will become tired at the same time each day and it's much easier to fall asleep when you keep a schedule.

I use Ungoogled Chromium for teams meetings at work without issue (on arch). I also don't have an MS account.
When the other party sets up a meeting they'll send an email with a link to the teams meeting and all you have to do is follow that link to join. It also includes a phone number you can call to join by phone if for some reason you have issues.

I came to the harsh reality and conclusion that when it comes to platform maturity and stability, Kbin is years behind thanks to constant errors across the website sometimes, bugs and other instabilities, this also lead me to reconsider supporting and coming back to Lemmy

I started running my own personal kbin instance in June and had to face that realization a few months in. I just recently (~2 weeks ago) took it down and started up a lemmy server instead. It's something I should have done months ago because it requires an order of magnitude more resources to run kbin compared to lemmy. I guess it was too appealing to have both mastodon and lemmy in one place, but neither of those things worked well enough to be worth the trouble.

At any rate, your thread on reddit about kbin was one of the reasons I ventured out into the fediverse as well as one of the reasons I chose to run kbin over lemmy. Thanks for the time and effort you put into doing all that!

The link mentions that it is only ran as part of a debian or RPM package build. Not to mention that on Arch sshd is not linked against liblzma anyways.

Is steam the only program you've noticed having issues? If not then here's a scary possibility to consider: Hardware Failure
I recently had my power supply destroy my MB and SSD and there were signs that I ignored just before it all went down.
If you still have your arch install usb available then boot from that and pick the memtest86 option in the boot menu to see if your ram has any faults.

In one of Ernest's posts last week he mentioned that account deletions need to be handled manually for now. I'm not sure how long it takes him to work through through the queue, but he mentioned in the post that if for some reason you need that done sooner you can send him an email through the contact form starting with "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" so he can prioritize that.

I doubt Reddit would use bots for German opinions

Well, about that...: https://web.archive.org/web/20230607173747/https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/

Damn I didn't know Solutech went out of business. I like(d) their filament and still have a couple spools left.

Unfortunately they seem to have already been doing that as well. There was a thread in r/programming before the blackout where people were commenting about the number of other comments that were in opposition to the blackout. The whole thread was filled with people finding that most of them were LLM bots:

I made a post yesterday about this: https://lemmy.world/post/1065037

The TLDR is that your apps are not showing the real rotation of the image. Get an image editor app to fix them before submitting.

Yup, it's the timezone. I ran into this problem on https://feed.timeloop.tv/comment/5916
There's an open PR about this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3496

For now, the only way to fix this is for Fedia to set their timezone to UTC both for the system and the postgresql database.

I'm no expert, but that looks like it could be a Canna lily, probably just called arrowroot locally:https://media.sciencephoto.com/image/b7400814/800wm/B7400814-Canna_lily_leaves_Canna_x_generalis_.jpg
