  • Huh, TIL...

  • Why specifically are you a fan of XFS for network mounts?

  • Yeah, so in that case I'd just use ext4 or, if you want checksums, btrfs (though this doesn't matter too much as btrfs currently doesn't support raid in any real sense, so it can't actually correct the data, just tell you it's bad).

    ZFS can do the checksums with RAID and error correction, but getting that on Linux (without using a specialty distro like TrueNAS Scale) is still a pain.

  • Same honestly šŸ˜‚

  • Yeah, unfortunately EA is one of those companies with a custom anticheat that are uninterested in porting it to non-Windows platforms...

    (also stares down Bungie)

  • "*arr apps"?

  • In theory you could use Telegram X and reimplement the tdlib API to create such a client. It wouldn't be the main Telegram Android app, but Telegram X is in someways even nicer.

  • If you don't strictly speaking need XMPP, you might want to checkout Jami which is a peer-to-peer based chat app with a fairly polished UI. It still definitely feels like beta software at times though, so more of a "be aware of it and check in on it" than "actively use this for all of your chats" sort of thing.

  • I don't like this perspective ... you're effectively punishing honesty about uncertainty which is almost certainly why so many politician themselves pretend to have super powers, perfect foresight, control, and what not.

    Like, can we just have a discussion accepting that op acknowledge they don't know everything? ... because nobody knows everything.

  • It's assigned proportionally but each state gets a few extra votes to give smaller states more weight.

    Originally, states would then award these proportionally, but some state got "smart" and realized that if they gave all their votes to the most popular candidate they'd get more attention ... other states soon followed suite and Madison went and died before he could fix this abuse of the system (which bothered him).

  • So, Mastodon is working on a communities feature. I think having Mastodon and Lemmy communities have interop (along with great interop between the "same community" on two different instances) would be the superior option.

    As an example, if someone posted or tooted the same link to several communities I'm following, I should be able to see all of the comments aggregated/tab between the community posts and responses. In other words, it should aggregate a view of all the different discussions about that link for all the communities I'm subscribed to and/or that my instance knows about.

  • I made the same mistake. I have been using DeleteMe, I think it helped some but it's definitely no silver bullet.

  • People say time and distractions and whatever else ... but the only advice that ever really helped me was a line from some character on a TV show I don't even remember:

    "In my experience, to move on, you've actually got to move on."

    In other words... Go meet new people, get a new crush, find the greener pasture.

  • That seems silly to me. Just because someone that has chickenpox hasn't been formally diagnosed as having chickenpox, that doesn't mean they don't actually have chickenpox.

    Maybe none of these folks are truly suffering from mental illness, but what would that mean? That they're untreatable? That can't be right. So then what are they afflicted with?

    It seems like they're trying to draw a line between clinical "serious" mental illness like schizophrenia and what's happening with mass shooters ... but I don't think folks that are saying "mass shooters are mentally ill" mean things like schizophrenia.

  • (for context i dont live in US)

    The only valid reason to disengage from US politics lol

  • Yeah, a lemmy moderator only community seems like the closest analog until/unless mastodon gets a topics concept.

  • They're not, they're more like Twitter circles. A channel is one or more authors (that can be masked as simply a post by the channel) blogging to infinite many followers.

  • Then there's me that pretty much only plays multiplayer games... 😄

    Blessed are those that still find joy playing single player games

  • The string is that they use it for the creation of a domestic chip plant, not salaries for existing employees.
