I'm an engineer with history in reverse-engineering, logic-level troubleshooting and design, software, and whatever else.
I think of myself of more as an agroecologist/farmer type guy though no matter what the paychecks say on them
What in the actual fuck? Does he have to collapse the ambling corpse even further so he can discover why the ability to block existed and then re-invent it but shittier to convince himself it's necessary?
Have you considered climbing something very tall and toppling off of it?
Ah fuck well you just determined the course of my weekend with this comment
This just blew my fucking mind
If it's ever something you want to try, it's one of the easier servers to self host and there's a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn't any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.
This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.
One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.
EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I'm happy to be corrected on that, though.
I wish they weren't doing that.
I think he's finally figure out The Thing this time, guys.
They probably spent more than $250 in labor just filing and sustaining this dumbfuck fine.

I have a racknerd KVM VPS running a socks5 proxy and a mastodon instance. It's been great!
BUT THE MARKET SHARE!!!!
Watching every platform ruin itself to become a facsimile of every other platform is deeply infuriating and exhausting
Leaves and nothing else
If it is not a leaf, it is not present in this image. I can assure you with a level of confidence you are unlikely to ever see again that, contained within this image, no item that is not a leaf is present. It simply shows only leaves. You may say to yourself "But how is this possible? Only leaves? Surely there must be something else!" but you are wrong, dear reader! No matter how deeply you scrutinize this image, leaves will be the only object that emerges. Perhaps, as a result of my astounding confidence, you think that perhaps there IS a non-leaf object present in this image and my forthright enthusiasm about this fact is simply a ruse to misguide the gullible would that only the truly remarkable would share knowledge of it. To that I must say that, while clever, it is not the case. I must, at this point, really put my foot down on this subject. It is leaves and nothing else. If you came here for something that isn't a leaf, you have been misguided.
I fucking hate shorts so much. I completely blocked them:

Thank goodness I had to say the pledge every day in school or I might have forgotten that we actually have liberty and justice for all while reading this
I would argue that it's not even modernized. It's just the same argument.

I hit my hand with a billhook
In like exactly the same place I fucked my hand all way up with an arborist saw. Since the saw thing happened like a month ago, it hasn't stopped hurting. Now, I seem to have pulled some Fred Flinstone personality-switching bullshit with the billhook because it doesn't hurt anymore.

Federation is important but not a mandatory strength of Lemmy
I just think it's important to remember that, while federation and interoperability are HUGE HUGE features (and, ultimately, the purpose) of Lemmy but I do believe that it's important to remember that there is still incredible value in a Lemmy instance that is siloed to a particular group of people and/or whitelist federated with specific other servers.
There is power in being able to create a private community with this functionality and use-cases for organizations, private groups, and whoever else to have siloed instances like this.
You could have a Lemmy server on-prem at work just for relevant work things with coworkers. You could make one for your neighborhood. You could make servers dedicated to mutual aid that federate with only eachother to further your cause and reach.
This is probably what the internet was supposed to be.

This is pretty fucking banana sandwich. Very impressive and may even help you understand compsci a bit better.
Here's an AI generated summary of the video: > In the video "I Made a 32-bit Computer Inside Terraria," the creator shares their remarkable accomplishment of constructing a fully functional 32-bit computer simulation within the popular game Terraria. They utilized the game's wiring mechanics to create complex circuits and successfully developed a computer capable of executing instructions and storing data. The video mentions future plans to create a simplified version of Terraria within the game as the next milestone. The project is open-source and can be found on GitHub for further exploration.
Just redacted 13 years of interaction and helping people on Reddit
It honestly feels good. I have been mentally divorced from reddit since they doubled down on their API fuckery. I enjoyed my time there but, at this point, I don't have the energy to move anywhere but forward. I'm glad to have stripped Reddit of my content.
Here's to starting another life. I hope we can make it a good one.
