Ah, nice. I recommend that one to OP then since it’s 1st party and not an alpha version haha.

Not sure if sh.itjust.works offers Tesseract as a UI option, but you can direct ban/unban users and bulk-mod comments among other improvements to mod tooling and report actions.

If not, then I’d normally point you to the unlocked hosted instance (https://tesseract.dubvee.org/) but the VPS provider it uses is having issues right now, and my 3 hour old ticket has not yet been acknowledged.

Edit: Oh, they answered my ticket and I was able to start it back up, so the hosted instance should be working if you’d want to try it.

Bombadil was referred to as “The Hermit” before they revealed his identity when GrandElf (aka Gandalf née The Stranger) crosses paths with him.

Someone said if you forget it’s LOTR and just treat it as its own thing it’s not half bad.

Basically. I don’t forget it’s LOTR but I do keep in mind it’s not the Peter Jackson trilogy nor a 1:1 from the books.

I was really really hoping it was going to be about the fall of Numenor.

It is, but it’s slow burn and a something of an overall B-plot to the titular Rings of Power in the second season and the creation of Mordor in the first.

The main online gripe that I can agree with how the characters “fast travel” as plot demands. I just accept that as necessary to condense things down to a suitable runtime for a TV series.

He’s in Rings of Power which I guess counts as a derivative. I don’t want to start a flame war since a lot of people hate that adaptation, but I enjoy it for what it is.

It’s just there and under the same domain. Otherwise, it’s a completely separate system that instance users can sign up and use. Maybe in the future they can both use the same OIDC login, but I don’t think Lemmy supports that yet.

The UI we use as our default has Peertube integration, so any videos shared from this Peertube instance (or any other) will show as inline embeds within the Lemmy client.

• Curated, “normie friendly” default experience
• Default UI is not Lemmy UI
• PeerTube instance (though not fully integrated and requires a separate account)

Quite reliably, yeah. The only limitation is I can’t root my current device, so the mapped keys can only work when the screen is on. But the volume keys will wake the screen up, so I just hit it once normally then hold to mute or change tracks or whatever.

You can do that with KeyMapper, and I have a lot of custom actions set up with it.

I have double-press volume down set to toggle mute, though, since I’m already using long press of vol up and down to do next/prev track for my music player.

Regardless, I cannot recommend KeyMapper enough. It’s pretty fantastic.

509 reviews as I write this and still 0 downloads and zero of those 509 reviews have any text; they just have ratings.

An optional field was added to the userdb to allow storing birthdate. That’s it.

The systemd project merged a pull request adding a new birthDate field to the JSON user records managed by userdb in response to the age verification laws of California, Colorado, and Brazil.

This is the same record that already holds basic user metadata like realName, emailAddress, and location. The field stores a full date in YYYY-MM-DD format and can only be set by administrators, not by users themselves.

An optional field in the userdb JSON object. It’s not a policy engine, not an API for apps. We just define the field, so that it’s standardized iff [sic] people want to store the date there, but it’s entirely optional.

I haven’t had time to build out or promote the community, so there’s only one post right now, but this would be perfect for !totallylookslike@dubvee.org if you had a side-by-side image.

Speaking from recent experience, the smaller thing can, and often does, turn into a larger thing all on its own and always at the worst time.

For the last 3 years, I knew my water heater was on its last legs. I kept putting it off until two Saturdays ago I had a wet basement and no hot water. The kick in the ass was that it wasn’t that hard to replace the unit: 2 hours of labor to install and 2 hours to drain, remove, and clean around the old one. Cost me just under $650 including same day delivery which was awesome because I would have had to rent a truck and drafted someone to help me load/unload it otherwise.

So my advice is when you allocate time to address the small problem, give yourself double that in case it turns into a bigger project. It’s always easier to deal with big stuff when it’s not a surprise.

Can’t link to the posts directly to demonstrate since the spoiler overlay is only shown in the feed. It’s assumed if you click into the post you want to see the spoiler. I suppose I could change that, but the behavior aligns with how the NSFW tag works.

To give an example of how it works in the feed, here’s a search link that should work (it’s what I used to make the post screenshot): https://tesseract.dubvee.org/search?type=All&q=posts%3A[spoiler]

Im guessing like abcd [spoiler] efg would trigger it too?

Correct. While that wouldn’t turn into a flair (only [flair text] at the beginning or end of the title will be used as flairs), it will trigger the spoiler overlay if [spoiler] appears anywhere in the title. I did this consciously to account for inconsistencies in some of the spoiler usage I’ve seen. It could easily be changed to only trigger on actual flairs (at the beginning or end of the title).

Definitely could, but I won’t hold my breath waiting for a feature to make it to the API. There’s enough 3rd party app support and enough people using flairs in the [flair] format, even though it’s not “officially” supported in Lemmy-UI, that I think we’d be safe implementing this.

And should an API-level flag ever happen, then all apps would need to do is look for that boolean attribute in the Post object rather than checking the title for the spoiler flair - the rest of the handling logic can remain the same. So it’s not like we’d have to make major changes if we ever get an official spoiler flag. It would also be easy to support both so there could be backwards compatibility or for other platforms that may lack an official spoiler flag.

I mean, if you’re not shitting your guts out after drinking a glass of tap water, then it’s clean enough.

Pure water tastes like…nothing. The minerals and such give it the good, crisp taste.

That said, my water is so hard it has comparable calcium to a glass of milk.

Added :) I also disabled the “Create Post” button if the community is on a defederated instance even though, technically, you can still post to your instance’s local copy (it just won’t federate).

Edit: This only works one way. i.e. it can only know if your instance is defederated from the community’s. If the community’s instance is defederated from yours, there will be no indicator because there’s no way to do it without a remote lookup which is both unreliable and inefficient at scale.

You mean like if there’s a community called !cats@example.com and your home instance no longer federates with the instance example.com?

If so, I’ll add that to Tesseract as it sounds useful.
