  • [ANN] lemmy-synapse v1.0.0

    Jump

  • "Announcment"

    It used to be quite common on mailing lists to categorise/tag threads by using subject prefixes such as "ANN", "HELP", "BUG" and "RESOLVED".

    It's just an old habit but I feel my messages/posts lack some clarity if I don't do it 😅

  • Update

    sh.itjust.works in now added to lemmy-meter 🥳 Thanks all.

  • [Help] go and perl5 folders in ~/

    Jump

  • I didn't like the capitalised names so configured xdg to use all lowercase letters. That's why ~/opt fits in pretty nicely.

    You've got a point re ~/.local/opt but I personally like the idea of having the important bits right in my home dir. Here's my layout (which I'm quite used to now after all these years):

     
        
$ ls ~
bin  
desktop  
doc  
downloads  
mnt  
music  
opt 
pictures  
public  
src  
templates  
tmp  
videos  
workspace

    where

    • bin is just a bunch of symlinks to frequently used apps from opt
    • src is where i keep clones of repos (but I don't do work in src)
    • workspace is a where I do my work on git worktrees (based off src)

  • Something that I'll definitely keep an eye on. Thanks for sharing!

  • [Help] go and perl5 folders in ~/

    Jump

  • RE Go: Others have already mentioned the right way, thought I'd personally prefer ~/opt/go over what was suggested.

    RE Perl: To instruct Perl to install to another directory, for example to ~/opt/perl5, put the following lines somewhere in your bash init files.

     
        
export PERL5LIB="$HOME/opt/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"
export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="$HOME/opt/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}}"
export PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"$HOME/opt/perl5\""
export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=$HOME/opt/perl5"
export PATH="$HOME/opt/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"

    Though you need to re-install the Perl packages you had previously installed.

  • Perl One-Liners Guide with plenty of examples and exercises

    Jump

  • This is fantastic! 👏

    I use Perl one-liners for record and text processing a lot and this will be definitely something I will keep coming back to - I've already learned a trick from "Context Matching" (9) 🙂

  • Hypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy

    Jump

  • That sounds a great starting point!

    🗣Thinking out loud here...

    Say, if a crate implements the AutomatedContentFlagger interface it would show up on the admin page as an "Automated Filter" and the admin could dis/enable it on demand. That way we can have more filters than CSAM using the same interface.

  • How to write a 'tar' command

    Jump

  • That was my case until I discovered that GNU tar has got a pretty decent online manual - it's way better written than the manpage. I rarely forget the options nowadays even though I dont' use tar that frequently.

  • Variables in GNU Make: Simple and Recursive

    Jump

  • TBH I use whatever build tool is the better fit for the job, be it Gradle, SBT or Rebar.

    But for some (presumably subjective) reason, I like GNU Make quite a lot. And whenever I get the chance I use it - esp since it's somehow ubiquitous nowadays w/ all the Linux containers/VMs everywhere and Homebrew on Mac machines.

  • Love the attitude 💪 Let me know if you need help in your quest.

    Jump

  • I see.

    So what do you think would help w/ this particular challenge? What kinds of tools/facilities would help counter that?

    Off the top of my head, do you think

    • The sign up process should be more rigorous?
    • The first couple of posts/comments by new users should be verified by the mods?
    • Mods should be notified of posts/comments w/ poor score?

    Jump

  • Interesting topic - I've seen it surface up a few times recently.

    I've never been a mod anywhere so I can't accurately think what workflows/tools a mod needs to be satisfied w/ their, well, mod'ing.

    For the sake of my education at least, can you elaborate what do you consider decent moderation tools/workflows? What gaps do you see between that and Lemmy?

    PS: I genuinely want to understand this topic better but your post doesn't provide any details. 😅

  • No Strings Attached: Enjoy the Freedom of Free Disposable Email

    Jump

  • Nice! Good to see this idea becoming more common 👍

    I personally use Firefox Relay which gives me better control for my workflow - I usually need my temporary e-mails to last a bit longer, eg a week or a month.

    On another note, the post clickable URL opens the Lemmy instace landing page and not that of the disposable email service.
