HeapOverflow.ml domain hijacked!
sorry guys, HeapOverflow is down right now, because freenom decided to disappear my domain registration... I'll try and recover it or migrate to a more reliable TLD, but It'll take some time =/ This should also serve as a warning against using sketchy TLDs

Omega mart is a “gag item” store in las vegas, all of the products there are like this

Lemmy is way better than Mastodon for content discovery, which is one of the biggest reasons I wish that lemmy supported “self-posts”, i.e. posting to your own timeline.

being able to cross-post “mastodon-like content” directly on lemmy would really help content discovery, make attributions simpler, and make lemmy the undisputed champion of the fediverse!






once an open-source program gets enough attention it achieves “critical mass”, and proprietary software can never catch back up.

They probably see the inevitable and are jumping on the train before it leaves the station


I dont even bother setting up email service for my instances, maybe they dont either.

I’d dm an admin =/




I have double the swap than physical memory in a swap partition. In not concerned about wearing it out, and I like having plenty of space for hibernation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Feel free to post in the “linux” community, for FOSS stuff, and I just made the “tech support” community for everything else.


A open-source privacy focused OS from google?

Cant wait for the proprietary modules!



Nah, they make it so we cultivate them


should be called “askwomen” to account for the possibility that there is more than one woman on the lemmyverse =P



exactly, they spent time and money doing this instead of investing in infrastructure 🤦‍♂️


Im assuming the same is true for google


yeah, Im getting 500s from pictrs. the devs probably need to restart the service or perform some other maintenance


PSA: blocking users prevents you from moderating content from those users. You would also have to ban them from any sub you moderate to mitigate this issue



The whole world is built on open source projects that haven’t been touched in years!

They must be on the verge of bankruptcy to be considering this =/



Men only want one thing and its fucking expensive




This study showed Toxoplasma-infected and Toxoplasma-free participants of our cross-sectional study differed in three of four factors of PI34, scoring higher in Tribalism and lower in Cultural liberalism and Anti-Authoritarianism. We found sex differences in political beliefs associated with Toxoplasma infection. Infected women scored higher in tribalism and lower in cultural liberalism, compared with the Toxoplasma-free control group, while infected men scored higher in economic equity.



IIRC reddit has an option for “open in new tab”


The moderation is fragmented and more community oriented, instead of a thinly veiled advertising platform.

I have a suspicion that If your crossposts link to mastodon or any other competing social media site, they will likely be nerfed and not shown to people that don’t view your profile directly.


I can also pretty much guarantee there was a transfer of money involved


yeah, but, I need 3 accounts across 3 websites to participate in the fediverse. those features would make lemmy the one-stop-shop.


I completely agree, but I think video hosting would be great as an optional addon


I think the software is great!

If we could follow people, post to our own profile, and host/play videos, then it would be the only fediverse website anyone needs!

The lawsuit filed Sunday in federal court in Texas, where Musk’s electric car firm is headquartered after moving from Palo Alto late last year, alleges the terminations violated federal WARN Act requirements that workers receive 60 days’ written notice before being let go in a mass layoff. Also, because the workers allegedly received no such notice, they are also owed 60 days’ pay by Tesla, the suit claimed.


Here are some of the things that you can do with Huginn:

  • Track the weather and get an email when it’s going to rain (or snow) tomorrow (“Don’t forget your umbrella!”)
  • List terms that you care about and receive email when their occurrence on Twitter changes. (For example, want to know when something interesting has happened in the world of Machine Learning? Huginn will watch the term “machine learning” on Twitter and tell you when there is a spike in discussion.)
  • Watch for air travel or shopping deals
  • Follow your project names on Twitter and get updates when people mention them
  • Scrape websites and receive email when they change
  • Connect to Adioso, HipChat, Growl, FTP, IMAP, Jabber, JIRA, MQTT, nextbus, Pushbullet, Pushover, RSS, Bash, Slack, StubHub, translation APIs, Twilio, Twitter, and Weibo, to name a few.
  • Send digest email with things that you care about at specific times during the day
  • Track counts of high frequency events and send an SMS within moments when they spike, such as the term “san francisco emergency”
  • Send and receive WebHooks
  • Run custom JavaScript or CoffeeScript functions
  • Track your location over time
  • Create Amazon Mechanical Turk workflows as the inputs, or outputs, of agents (the Amazon Turk Agent is called the “HumanTaskAgent”). For example: “Once a day, ask 5 people for a funny cat photo; send the results to 5 more people to be rated; send the top-rated photo to 5 people for a funny caption; send to 5 final people to rate for funniest caption; finally, post the best captioned photo on my blog.”

No adds or upgrade nags with FOSS


I am subbed to a channel and was able to comment just fine.


With the help of LD_PRELOAD, Symbiote will load before any other shared objects. That allows the malware to tamper with other library files loaded for an application. The image below shows a summary of all of the malware’s evasion techniques.


It could be, but if I put the mapping of UI-theme to code theme in JS then custom themes would require custom code on the frontend. My simple implementation for #1 only involves adding an ‘@import myhljstheme.css’ statement to the themes css. This makes themeing easier, but css is blissfully unaware of what happens in JavaScript land.


that’s what I was originally thinking, but the solutions arn’t really compatible with each-other. themers would import themes, but when we add the setting, you’d end up with two themes loaded, and there could be issues until themers remove the import =/

It would be less headache for everyone to decide on a comprehensive solution from the beginning =/


Its likely a known issue with nginx + docker.
When a docker container crashes it gets a new IP address, but nginx has cached the upstream hostname resolution as the old IP, so it thinks the upstream is gone.

Or it could be a million other issues, that’s just one that I run into a lot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


[RFC] How should code-highlighting themes be handled?
I'm working on adding highlighting to `code-blocks` on lemmy using [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/), and am wondering exactly how to implement it. There are many code-themes that could be used Regarding which theme to use there are basically two different directions I could go: 1. Each lemmy-theme would have to explicitly declare an hljs theme to use. - PROS: - easy to use, users automatically get an appropriate code-theme for every ui-theme. - simple to implement (already done) - CONS: - theme-makers need to pick an appropriate theme - no user customizability, limited number of themes 2. Users can pick their preferred theme just like they pick a UI theme. - PROS: - Extreme customization, there are a buttload of themes, and users can pick any one! - CONS: - Users would **need** to pick an appropriate theme. It would use the "browser-default" (light/dark) until they pick one, and could look weird and be confusing until then - PITA to implement & requires back-end changes (wont see it for a while) Let me know what you think, or if you have another solution. I have solution #1 deployed on HeapOverflow.ml right now =] Here is the PR for those interested: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/663

[Suggestion] Configurable “default sort” for comments
I would also appreciate site-config options for comments and posts.

Anyone else have this problem or know a solution? My instance has almost no usage, and I'm using the version recommended in the docker instructions.

Why do mod-actions on other instances show up on my instance?
I get that "federated bans" were added recently, but it seems odd to show trolls getting banned from their home-instance on my instance. =/ thoughts?
fedilink



Presumably it's the link to the comment/post on the instance it was made, but that's not always the case, so I'm a little confused =/

Post made to remote-community failed to federate.

Is there a bot that will scrape RSS / ATOM feeds and xpost to lemmy?
It would be handy for auto-posting new github releases, youtube vids, SO content, etc. If not I'll make one, so recommend libs =]

Where is the line between criticism and harassment?
I've had this debate before and was unable to come to a conclusion. It seems to me that any criticism, no matter how valid, could be characterized as harassment. What do you guys think? Is there a heuristic for determining which one a statement is? Does everything just exist on a continuum between the two? Is this harassment?
