Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy.
  • But it's not, they're not doing actual piracy there, they're talking about it, and that's very much not illegal

  • Reddit Email Grab
  • Time to let go

  • What's going on with kbin.social?
  • Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is "429 Too Many Requests", after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it's handling

  • But that's what the marketers are selling, "this will replace a lot of workers!" and it just cannot

  • Community update, plus new rule: advertising is now banned
  • Just noticed that said user had posted numerous memes here, and now they added a post description complaining about this to each and every one of them

  • What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?
  • This is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it's current sorry decayed state and at any time you'll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can't.

  • The problem of course is that the vast mass of consumers won't do this, it's only us weirdos

  • Holy shit Android 14 is really bad
  • Persistent apps running in the background. One constant complaint many have is background apps that should be left alone killed by battery-saving stuff. One of the ways to prevent this from happening that devs have used is persistent notifications. Killing this option fucks up lots of apps that are supposed to run in the background. I guess i'll stay away from Android 14 for now.

  • Two moods
  • That's because Steam/Proton has mostly solved this (with some qualified notorious exceptions), which used to be a real problem even just a few years ago, but not remotely as much these days; the meme is mostly outdated by now, I've lived both cases and it used to be a pain but these days? people are spoiled by Valve and many have never lived the OP situation (which is great news!)

  • Two moods
  • Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games

    And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive

    At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there's a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

  • Capcom caught adding Enigma DRM to older titles, for no good reason
  • I hope this breaks the games on Deck so that people notice

  • Anti-elf hours
  • The anime is not TOO bad, but i've been firmly told to stay the fuck away from the original sources. I wish we had a more grounded one though.

  • Anti-elf hours
  • I've heard it described as "Japan in Civilization playing for a domination victory"

  • Unsubscribe link from their emails takes you to this. You then to need to sign in with email and password (I don't know my password) to manage preference. I just want all out!
  • In EU at least they're required by law to have working unsubscribe links that actually unsubscribe you, otherwise they risk getting huge fines, i understand that in California things are not too far from this but no idea about the details

  • Computer rule
  • It's been freaking AGES since i last watched this, i should do it again to see what new things i catch this time, i suspect that even after this long there's still stuff i haven't caught with so damn much detail and reference density per second

    PostgreSQL vs SQLite date management

    As a sysadmin mostly used to the nice and powerful way Postgres manages dates, every time i’ve had to do stuff on SQLite i find myself missing that. Feels like they offloaded that into whatever code connects to the database instead of handling it at DB level.

    Is there a way to give SQLite the powerful and reliable date management Postgres has, or at least something similar? Hopefully something as devoid of dependency hell as SQLite itself is

    Reconstruct Docker containers config from a running machine?

    Hi! I've inherited a machine installed by somebody else who's no longer in the company or the country. The machine is running just fine, but i see no Dockerfiles or docker-compose.yml, and this looks like something that came from a Compose file with a few linked containers.

    Is it possible to reconstruct that info from the running containers? I'm still a raw Docker newbie at this point so i don't know if this is even possible, would be helpful not to have to try and contact the person who set it up.
