  • stop it

  • i'm just gonna generalize this to "any year before 1600" and edit the title

  • ~medieval~ crossed out :slight_smile:

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What are mundane actions we get to do everyday with technology that would be a superpower to people from before say.. the 1600s?

  • instantly renaming a large city

  • More The Expanse. More Chrisjen Avasarala. More!

  • New technology is good; but the new way we're going about it (including but not limited to anti right to repair, privacy violations, extreme capitalism) is bad. We need to separate the two.

  • I just use HTML entities to type en and em dashes. mdash; -> — ndash; -> –

    Oh nice Lemmy supports these entities.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    Human em dash users, are you still afraid of being mislabeled as "AI"?

  • I am actively considering IPv6. But I don't have it yet. Now I'm just waiting for my ISP to consider it :)

    Fuck ISPs that insist on keeping you stuck in CGNAT jail without a routable IPV6 prefix!

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    CGNAT and initial seeding

  • Did you know? French, Italian, and Spanish are all Romance languages; they are part of a large family of languages that evolved from Latin over hundreds of years. That's why they're similar. While I don't have the necessary citations on hand, learning a language might make it slightly easier to learn, or at least have a basic "I know a few hundred words" understanding of its sibling languages.

    (I saw that other people have typed similar things but I already wrote it so I'm just gonna send it anyway.)

  • That's an extreme offense, and thus, requires an extreme amount of evidence.

  • There are plenty of feminine given names that roll off the tongue incredibly well. Names like "Anna" and "Elaine" and "Katherine" do not begin to scratch the surface... But again, I pay more attention to names than the average person because I am obsessed with linguistics, and that obsession is what made me click this thread and type out a reply in the first place.

  • I'm sure the AI devs so lazy they cannot train their AI on anything other than scraped HTML can set up a Lemmy instance and point their crawlers at that.

  • Asklemmy @lemmy.ml

    What other things have options where everything is so bad that it's a matter of "what sucks the least" rather than "what's the best"?

  • Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    How can everyone on a private tracker maintain seed ratios above 1? Is it mathematically impossible?

  • My reddit username is tied to multiple embarassing things I did when I was a lot more immature, during my early 10s, and now that I'm in my late 10s, I'd rather not have my embarassing 2018 things affect my 2025 things.

  • A personal datacenter with 3-digit terabytes of storage, terabytes of RAM, and 3-digit CPUs. Unless I win the lottery (and the safe withdraw rate on these investments are high enough), I won't be getting any of this.

  • Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. @lemmy.ml

    Asking for recommendations regarding cold database storage

  • I've been getting by with Ionos, as a Filipino user with a VPS in America. The support was helpful when I had cloud panel issues the first month, but again your mileage may vary.

    It's not perfect, but for me, it's good enough.

  • Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services. @lemmy.ml

    Regarding a VPS host - Is Ionos good?

  • Try out open-source games too, not just the big corporate games. Space Station 14, OpenTTD, Endless Sky, Naev, plenty of choices. Saw someone here rant about how the "videogames industry has become very rotten" and decided I'd point you to a non-rotten part of it.

    • Endless Sky -- open-source space game. I actually contributed to it back in the day; a date format option and a full-blown storyline about an author. Unfortunately the storyline is in development hell cause I lost motivation to work on it.
    • OpenTTD -- really awesome, with NewGRFs and mods you can have a somewhat "realistic" rail experience (as in, using actual real-life trains. Obviously a pixel game isn't the most "realistic" with graphics)
    • Mindustry
    • Pioneer Space Sim
  • I don't have anything hosted just yet, but when I do, I'll look into a reverse proxy

  • And I don't check my email every single day. Scary.

    Nitter ended up getting their domain back though.. However, the good ending doesn't always happen.

    Thankfully I don't have anything "controversial" on my website.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    Anyone got any thoughts on, praises of, and criticisms of Njalla?
