In the old days, university IT put essentially no access controls on their networks, so students’ dorm computers were completely exposed to the internet
Dorm ethernet works this way for me right now. It’s how I host some stuff. I only get 100 mb/s per port though. I’ve bonded two ports to get 200 total.
Because the extensions replaced wordpress’ sitebuilder/editor. If I were to get rid of the extensions I would basically have to recreate the site anyways so I might as well switch away from wordpress.

Do you have a source or benchmarks for the last bullet point?
I am skeptical that optimizations like that wouldn’t already be implemented by postgres.
Edit: Btrfs has the worst performance for databases according to this benchmark.

As far as I know, there is no programmatic way to destroy an existing pizza. terraform destroy is implemented on the client side, by consuming the pizza.
I have a sticker of the nix one on a laptop.
have you looked at solutions which emulate github actions locally?
https://github.com/nektos/act this is one of them but I think I’ve seen one more.
Github actions also has self hosted runners: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/self-hosted-runners
What would you use if you had a choice?
This is the same technology that lets people play windows games on android with good performance. Because there is not direct access to the GPU, they have to use GPU virtualization in order to get it access to a Linux proot that runs wine inside.
I’m excited to see it being used and developed in other areas.
design around ease of self-hosting. A non technical user must be able to self host easily and at a very low cost.
This may be a controversial opinion, but I actually like the way that hosting a lemmy instance is somewhat difficult to spin up. I like the way that it is requires a time investment and spammers can’t simply spin up across different domain names. I like the way that problematic instances get defederated and spammers or other problematic individuals can’t simply move domain names due to the way activitypub is tied to those.
In theory, you could set up something like digitalocean’s droplets, where a user does one click to deploy an app like nextcloud or whatever. But I’m not really eager to see something like that.
Transferable user identity (between instances)
I dislike this for a similar reason, tbh. If someone gets banned, they should have to start over. Not get to instantly recreate and refederate all their content from a different instance.
Of course, ban evasion is always a thing. But what I like is that spammers or problematic individuals who had their content nuked are forced to start from scratch and spend time recreating it before they get banned again.
As for what I would really like to see, I would really love features that make lemmy work as a more powerful help forum. Like, on discourse if you make a post, it automatically searches for similar posts and shows them to you in order to avoid duplicate posts. Lemmy does something similar, but it appears to only be the title. It would also be cool to automatically show relevant wiki pages, or FAQ content, since one of the problems on reddit was that people wouldn’t read the wiki or FAQ of help forums.
I would also like the ability to mark a comment on a post as an “answer”, or something similar. I think stackoverflows model definitely had lots of issues with mods incorrectly marking things as duplicate, but I think it was a noble goal to try to ensure that questions were only asked once, and for them to accumulate into a repository of knowledge. For the all the complaints about it, stackoverflow is undeniably the one of the biggest and most useful repositories of knowledge.
There does exist a tool that does it. The creator posted about it on the fediverse. It only supported ubuntu at the time but looked extremely promising.
I cannot remember it’s name. :/
Maybe it’s linixify? But I remember seeing a post on lemmy with a youtube demo?
unless the SSD stopped working but then it is reasonable to expect it would no accept partitioning
This happened to me. It still showed up in kde’s partition manager (when I plugged the ssd into another computer), with the drive named as an error code.
What about the f droid version?
My recommendation is meetup and a website for advertising purposes. Meetup is frustrating, yes, but at the same time it’s where I have found almost all the linux and tech groups near me.
Familiarity instead of compatibility.
This piece of documentation from forgejo, about how their actions are mostly github actions compatible is how I feel about this or similar endeavors.
I really like KDE, because it’s familiar enough to Windows users that they can just kinda use it. Many of the shortcuts are the same. But I’ve had a bad experience with things that try to emulate Windows more completely, because people begin to expect some windows idiosyncracy or some other thing to be there. And then they get frustrated when it’s not the same.
KDE manages to be “close enough”, which results in a better experience.
Gnome used to much worse when it comes to ram usage, so the inertia of those sentiments still carry.
Kde used to be much worse, using what gnome uses now, but now kde has similar ram usage to xfce last time I tested. CPU wise it’s still much worse though.
I’ve heard of thumbnails being used to deliver malware.
You’ve heard of critical vulnerabilities in media processing applications that mean that thumbnails can theoretically be used to be spread malware. That is not the same as “this issue was being actively exploited in the wild and used to spread malware before it was found and patched”.
These vulnerabilities, (again, cost money), and are fixed rapidly when found. Yes, disabling thumbnails is more secure. But I am of the belief that average users should not worry about any form of costly zero day in their threat model, because they don’t have sensitive information on their computers that makes them a target.

I think I’m in love. They have such great variety, and the artstyle is so neat. And I love stickers because they are such great conversation starters.
