Goodbye from a Linux community volunteer
  • Just feel things are very different now. Much harder to fight/work around with govt. And this leads to my 2nd link that, kinds of conspiracy, that we maybe already have backdoor in open source projects because they are hard to detect as long as there are pre-build tools.

    Anyway, lots of feelings after reading this post...

  • Hot Take: Lemmy communities should function similar to hashtags on Mastodon.
  • Or, I think this can be, kinds of, archived by 'simple' enhancement at client side without changing today's server side implementation. At Lemmy client, user can choose to group several different communities to user defined virtual community. Like today's client, we have 'All' and 'subscribrd' 2 big groups, If the web/app client allow user define more group like 'news' 'meme' etc, and combined then in one view, then that's pretty much meet your needs? Tbh, this will be very cool feature if any client can do this, or there is already such client?

  • Been daily driving Arch for 6 months now, but considering moving back to Debian. Not really taking full advantage of the Arch pros
  • Also, don't forget Debian testing. Once you are comfortable or gain enough experience to move closer to not-that-stable, or, if you have spare machine/harddisk to try now, Debian testing is a very good balance between stable and unstable. I know many people against it, so just my opinion and I am happily use it as my main desktop as well on my home sever for 10+ years. Again I am IT person and rare case it does breaks. if you ever want to try some new packages, there is Debian testing.

  • launch him anyway
  • The speed will be related to escape speed of sun. Based on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity It will be Vte which is 16.6 km/s (or Ve 42.1). So when object at earth orbit and has lower speed than 16.6 it can't keep the orbit and will slowly fall into sun.

  • Texas power prices soar 20,000% as brutal heat wave sets off emergency
  • So it is some between 2.5c to $5 kwh. Is this even possible? I scanned linked 2 pages could not find any price chart.

    I am wondering if similar can happen in stock market, a penny stock no one is trading, you decide to buy/sell 1 share $10000 to yourself. Then suddenly every owner become millionaire? At least on paper, right, right? /s

  • Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?
  • There is simply no way to pre-store any arbitrary long text because the possible combination is just tooo huge. It is like draw a bullseye where you arrow landed. You search any paragraph, it search existing index, if not found then save it and assign it a new index. Of course it may use some algorithms to optimize/decrease the space needed.

    From it's wiki page, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel_(website) ''' The website can generate all possible pages of 3200 characters and allows users to choose among about 10^4677 potential pages of books. '''

    PS, I think again, indeed this actually does not need any storage, it can be URL to text encoding/decoding, the URL itself can determine/generate the actual text. And same for the opposite direction

    latest Lemmy 0.18.4 beta5 crashing when sync

    Does anyone has same problem like mine? When I am running my instance using lemmy 0.18.4 beta5, it will crash and keep restarting. It will work fine if I shutdown proxy. I am the only user on my self host instance. As soon as I start proxy, the lemmy container will crash. Also, if I change the version to 0.18.4, then everything will back to normal. The crash looks like related sync some post from remote. Once it running fine with 0.18.4 for some time eg a few hours, if I switch to beta 5 again, then it will work fine for a few hours, then sunndenly it keep crashing again until I rollback to 0.18.4.

    I tried to change some log level, but I don't know much about docker, the lemmy instance only log that 2 line and no error no exception.

    This only happen on latest beta5, and not always reproducable, as I mentioned above, it crash (I feel) when trying to sync some remote message. My instance is self host and I am the only user on my instance. And it has been running fine for more than a month until recently my image (using latest) update to latest beta.

    IBM, Red Hat and Free Software: An old maddog’s view
  • Full of 'excuses', don't want to repeat, you can google many articles about gpl violation (or not). My opinion is this is bad. Your based on thousand other people's free/open source work, and added your work, if you want to limit/restrict public access, then don't use gpl based linux, go back to your AIX. ( This restriction is violation GPL, I know lawyer with huge money can argue anything, so again imo)

  • Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice.
  • yeah, I agree with you, for anyone new to debian maybe should follow official suggestion. But as user using debian so long, I think I understand the risk (of course the benefit) of my setup. Maybe I will try sid someday. Have a nice day!

  • Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice.
  • Want share my 2c as I prefer testing over sid. It is balance which side you want. Sid got break more freq but also fixed more quickly. Testing has less break but fix also come slowly. For me I prefer less break. So I setup preference/policy to get testing higher than sid. This is not for breakage/fix nor security fix. This is about package available. I think Firefox is one example that testing only has esr so it will install latest from sid and most other packages still tracking testing. Again personal choices and that's beauty of Linux.
