What are some good games for having a "backseat driver?"

Jump

  • Oh, I think I have the perfect series of games to you because they also work as movies, sort of.

    Check out the dark pictures anthology, until dawn and the quarry, all developed by supermassive games.

    Here's a trailer: https://youtu.be/3NcF7EOnjow

    If you want something that's less horror based, check out oxenfree.

    • Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money

    Jump

  • Hello again! I just completed object storage migration. Here's what I learned if you want to do it with an instance that's already setup:

    1. Download the binary file for pict-rs from the project's git repository.
    2. Stop the pict-rs container.
    3. Perform the migration as indicated in the pict-rs documentation. If it hangs at some point due to a missing file, re-run with --skip-missing-files.
    4. Verify that files have been migrated to object storage.
    5. Change docker-compose settings.
    6. And here the most important part.... changes won't be applied unless you run docker-compose up -d. Simply running docker-compose restart will NOT apply the new config. This might be obvious for docker users but I didn't know about it and had to rollback the first time because it wouldn't fetch images from object storage while they had already been migrated there.

    • More anti-Lemmy brigading with massive upvotes on Reddit as the 3rd party app apocalypse looms

    Jump

  • Testing.

    Oh wait, this is a recent commit. Probably coming in the next version.

    • What's your favorite memory from the early internet?

    Jump

  • How everyone who knew how to had their own personal homepage.

    • Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

    Jump

  • I'd be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he's said he won't post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.

    • Why are the comments I made in feddit communities from my lemmy.world account not there?

    Jump

  • They should be. There is currently a known bug that causes some messages to either take some time to appear or to be lost if they're not sent out in time by your server, which can happen when it's saturated. Fortunately the new lemmy version coming out tomorrow fixes this.

    It can also be related to language filters that could be on by default.

    • Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

    Jump

  • You don't have your post deleted for forgetting a minor rule and there's a chance that your post will be seen instead of hidden under countless new posts.

    • This is important

    Jump

  • Woah... This brings back memories from when I was a noob trying out Suse and there were no packet managers and I was constantly dual booting widows to know which rpm packages to download and install manually, only to realize that it had dependencies.

    • Why can't I subscribe to any of the communities on the instance I linked with my sh.itjust.works account? Any idea?

    Jump

  • Why not? What error do you get?

    • Not bad

    Jump

  • Am I incorrect in thinking that most of the OS is actually GNU?

    • Pirate streaming services

    Jump

  • Not sure if it's still recommended, but I've been using Cloudstream on Android, which gives you access to dozens of streaming sites seamlessly.

    • Having feed set to 'Hot' in both Subscribed and All show posts that are over 7 days old and not updating.

    Jump

  • Ask your instance admin to restart the instance. It's a known bug. I've set our instance to restart every 4 hours since it takes about 20 seconds to do a restart and is way better than having a stale timeline. That said, SIJW has thousands of users while we only have 200. We can get by restarting, maybe with more users there will be more of a negative impact even if it's only for 20 seconds every 4 hours.

    • Who can see my IP on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Unlike Mastodon, one of the good things is that only you're instances system administrator has access to your IP: no mods nor site admins.

    You can then use a VPN on top of that.

    • Per-User Community Groups?

    Jump

  • There's currently no way to do this. It's a planned feature though.

    • Redditors brigading against Lemmy

    Jump

  • Unfortunately there's probably a large amount of users who simply don't care.

    But that's okay. What matters is content creators, not content consumers. Anyone with half a gram of decency and self integrity will have realized that they need to take steps to move away from Reddit.

    • Is Kbin private? and how private is compared to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Nothing on the fediverse is truly private. Treat everything you say as public and as permanent.

    • EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!

    Jump

  • Hooray! Younger generations will finally be able to experience the joy of dropping their phone and having to pick up three to four different pieces! /s

    (I'm all for this change, by the way)

    • This graduation photography ad looks like it's encouraging suicide

    Jump

  • "Graphic design is my passion" vibes

    • Domain registrar

    Jump

  • https://njal.la for privacy, paying with crypto and no bs. Although a bit more expensive.

    • Communities Can't Be Found

    Jump

  • You need to be a user at that instance and write the community in the search box so that it's discovered and fetched for the first time.

    Type it in as !name@instance.domain

    Search Wait a few seconds Refresh page if still doesn't show. Then it should appear. Subscribe

    This teaches the remote instance that this community exists.
