Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
Back when SSDs were expensive and tiny they used to sell hybrid drives which were a normal sized HDD with a few gigs of SSD cache built in. Very similar to your proposal. When I upgraded from a HDD to a hybrid it was like getting a new computer, almost as good as a real SSD would have been.
I say go for it.
If it’s all Steam games then you could just move games around as needed, no need for a fancy automatic solution.
Very misleading article. They’re not shutting down wordpress.org, just the registration of new accounts, plugin, etc
“ignore, ignore, ignore because in the end they go away.”
Uhhh no that’s the exact opposite of what the tax department does, lol.
I use PyCharm for work but it’s not FOSS or beginner-friendly. PyCharm does have a free community edition which is awesome if you’re mostly into FOSS for the $0 aspect.
Codium is fine and technically FOSS although it’s association with Microsoft taints it for anyone who still hates MS from the bad old days. Also it’s an Electron app.
They’re deindexing ALL news, not just the union website.
New PieFed instances download a list of communities from an instance of your choice OR https://lemmyverse.net/ and automatically subscribe the admin to communities that match certain criteria (recently active, reasonable number of subscribers, etc).

Although, the penalty for non-compliance is 10% of global turnover which would amount to close to £0 for most.
Yeah, that’ll get big fast so you’ll need some service that can give you a publicly-accessible URL to your files. There are endless discussions on the internet about cheaper alternatives to S3… Consider Backblaze - https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing or Cloudflare R2 - https://www.cloudflare.com/developer-platform/products/r2/
PeerTube is the obvious one.
Shameless promo time:
An alternative is to make a community on PieFed and set it so only moderators can post. PieFed is Lemmy-compatible but with better support for video posts. Check out https://piefed.social/c/crazyfuckingvideos@lemmy.world as an example of how it can look. Now compare it with https://lemmy.world/c/crazyfuckingvideos. It’s night and day.
PieFed doesn’t host video files so you’d need to put them on S3 or wherever (imgur is fine if the video is small/short enough like in this video https://piefed.social/post/366849) and then create a post with the url to S3 as the post url.
You’re comparing downvotes with “vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit”. The behavior I’m talking about isn’t hurtful in the social-rejection way that downvotes are, it goes way way beyond that. Can you see the difference?
Normally I’d say it was a weakness but the right has significantly departed from reality in most countries for way too long now. It’s incredibly rare to find a right-winger who can be present in a discussion without spewing a whole lot of vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit.
So I find their absence refreshing, desirable and a strength of Lemmy.
What are the chances the Saudis have a torture prison just like that one in Syria?
Those photos are hard to look at.
…and these are just the ones currently being processed. There will be mass graves all over the place.
Ideologies tend to sort people into a limited number of overly simplistic categories. This makes theorising easier but applying it to reality much harder.
Very few people could live in a capitalist system and remain pure. e.g. My pension fund is invested in the stock market so I very partially own thousands of companies. I’ve also purchased a small amount of shares in selected companies, a situation I had more agency in creating. Sometimes I subcontract work to other contractors who function as my temporary employees. And so on.
Small nitpick: the Democrats impeached him twice. They don’t get to choose who the DOJ prosecutes.
Mozilla claimed that it was rarely used
No, Ukraine does not have nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles manned and controlled by NATO.
Don’t think of it as stopping, quitting or denying yourself something. Get better hobbies. Take up a new interest. Fill your life with things that make trolling on the internet seem lame and stupid in comparison.
They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.
