  • The next time you are trying to get one more thing into your suitcase, remember that the entire universe once fit into a pinpoint. So, it'll fit.

  • I did a bit of searching and the initial size you mention seems to be the initial size to which extrapolation is possible given information we have and that past that point it's unknowable?

  • ELI5: What are the different sort options

    Jump

  • Could easily be a feedback loop. Everyone sees the same posts, so those posts keep getting new comments which keeps them active.

    If userbase is increasing, new users will see these old posts under active for the first time and make them more active.

  • Gandalf researching magic rings in the archives of Minas Tirith

    Jump

  • 17 years. That duration is why I think proximity to Mt Doom (or perhaps Sauron) played a part in why Frodo claimed the ring there. It wasn't time with the ring because he was barely affected by having it for 17 years.

  • Can the mods please define liminal space in the community info?

    I googled it and it defined it as a transitional space, but I don't understand how some posts are transitional or at a boundary.

  • These are the philosophical questions that every traveler must answer for themselves. I am but a hobbit. I didn't even remember to bring a handkerchief!

  • Loot boxes: Games companies agree to restrict access in UK

    Jump

  • Oh, is this just for kids? That's the worst option since it means checking and privacy invasion.

    I'd rather they just flat out ban them. Loot boxes never make anything better.

  • Samsung’s new 98-inch 8K TV is the projector-beating home theater upgrade I’ve been waiting for

    Jump

  • Optoma GT1090HDR

    I'm pretty happy with it, although it doesn't do 4k. But, it's super bright at 4200 lumens.

  • Monitor recommendation.

  • Won't help you code. But I think you mentioned gaming. And it improves pretty much any live video, so many YouTube videos or movies would be improved.

  • The Wikimedia Foundation has joined the fediverse by setting up their own Mastodon server!

    Jump

  • You're right, although if you ever get the chance to browse a real physical encyclopedia, it's a unique experience.

    Not practical, but it's a bit like playing a record or playing a game on a real NES. It's a unique experience.

    I have a full 2007 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica in the same room as my vintage computer collection. I browse it occasionally.

    Jump

  • Projector beating is a bold claim! I doubt I'll ever get a big TV again. The idea of trying to move a 98" TV up the stairs seems crazy. I've got my 120" retractable projection screen and I'm happy.

  • Monitor recommendation.

    Jump

  • You didn't mention HDR! It makes a world of difference. I'm loving my LG 27" 144Hz 4k 27GP950-B.

  • The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people.

    Jump

  • Sadly, no. That's already where I was running it.

  • Lemmy.ml is down right now (back online, was unreachable for about 6 hours)

    Jump

  • I'm not on works or world, but I see your 4m old comment. Maybe it works like file sharing where there are seeds and peers? And without seeds, we can still see some content?

  • I figured out how to do this with docker container, but that's not ideal for a script.

    Using docker compose it just fails with: Service "postgres" is not running container #1

    I can see lemmy-easy-deploy if I do: docker compose ls

    The service name is postgres in the docker-compose.yml file. Any idea what the issue might be?

  • PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

    Jump

  • That review surprised me by ultimately being pretty positive. It started in a way that led me to believe they didn't like it, but it turned around before the end. Never played it. I'll have to check it out.

  • I actually use namecheap. It's only a few bucks first year, but .world domains cost $31.98 per year after that. So not $35 like I remembered, but pretty close. Or maybe that is the price with tax.

    However, if I wanted a .nl domain, it's only $7.98 per year. Looking at other domains, it's crazy, but .inc is $2198 per year.

  • At the moment, just communities. I thought about letting people make accounts, and might still do it, but I don't want the responsibility until I'm sure the system is reliable without much extra work. It seems like the lemmy.world people are running into a lot of problems.

  • Meta's Threads has had its daily users down 20% since Saturday and user time spent on the platform is down 50% ~ CNBC

  • Totally agree about the amount of coordination overhead. That is a huge amount of time to do anything.

    But even so, it's even slower, by a lot, once you pull the ripcord and need to keep the site working while you update it.

    Prior to release you don't need to have branch and release then QA then deploy. You can just modify schemas and drop existing user data without needing to migrate anything. You can change the look of the interface without angering users who generally hate change.

    Just the cycle of releasing new features carefully is a ton of overhead.

    I've spent entire days just rolling out code to change which domain name is used to refer to some images because doing it quickly would overwhelm the image servers due to the caches being unpopulated. 100% of that would be unnecessary prior to going live.
