People using 'less' when they should be using 'fewer'

  • Well, you bastard. You're doing well!!!

  • This made me think I'd really love there was a "fewen".

  •   bash
        
$ alias fewer=less
$ which fewer
fewer: aliased to less

  • Noun vs verb? That's the case with licence vs license, at least.

  • less is more, though!

    • More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities

  • I know sdf had issues with media storage before, but that was late last year/early this one. There's noy been an update to lemmy in the week that you've joined.

    Also - welcome aboard!

  • Sort of. If you check the url of thumbnail images - they'll all be from your local instance.

    Some images are also federated. Take this post, for example. The link is to lemmy.world, but the thumbnail and image itself are served by lemmy.cafe.

    I've never really delved into what exactly decides whether to federate a particular bit of content or not, but there's definitely more than just text being stored.

  • Simple things. Lemmy, for instance, has grown to ~60GB since June las year. And that's just the db and federated media since I don't really havr any uploads. The big instancea are easily into the hundreds od gigs - I know lemmy.ca had over 300GB of media alone last autumn.

    On a more consumer level - high quality 4k media eats up storage pretty fast. The phones taking pictures and video in higher and higher quality - space requirements will only ever go up.

    • Not sure if this is allowed, and if it's not, can someone direct me to where it is- but.... what is considered to be the most unbiased lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Hey, I know your username! Familiar from the reports I'm getting 😁

    On a more serious note - there's no such thing as unbiased. I'd like to believe I run my instance in a fair way, but I can't guarantee you'd like my definition of fair.

  • Thank you!

  • Woke up to an updated app. Reports tab is probably my immediate favourite!

    • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.

    Jump

  • I'll be the devil's advocate. A little.

    LibreOffice being FOSS probably means developers are mostly using it together with other FOSS. This brings some benefits, like a journaled filesystem, that sort of make the autosave useless. That recovery process that failed for you? It wouldn't have on something like btrfs or ext4 and, consequently, you wouldn't have been in a position where you're typing up this post.

    Having said that, on bs OSes like windows autosave probably should be the default.

  • Git would be my choice.

  • MG Premium has won its bizarre lawsuit against pirate site Goodporn.

    I guess it's that

  • It's not as complex as much as time consuming. Shout if you need a hand

    • You should try Tab Manager Plus, it's the best Tab Manager IF you change the default settings ! (video demonstration)

    Jump

  • I go through over 5000 tabs per day

    And when, exactly, do you do anything useful? :/

    Given 10 seconds for a tab that's more than half a day already. I call bs

    • What is easiest solution to automatically resolve missing mounts due to e.g. a power outage?

    Jump

  • I think this is the way!

    • ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

  • I remember there being a an mpv extension for firefox to watch youtube in mpv locally - you might want to look for inspiration there.

    There's also freetube that might be extended in an easier way.

  • Would be a real shame if my instance's logrotate was set to, say, only keep a few days of webserver logs. Real shame.

    Good luck establishing precedent with that!
