  • There's no facility to be notified on mod action. If you care, you can read the modlog.

  • As someone who had a slight stutter at a young age that made him even more heroic in my eyes.

  • James Earl Jones. He was doing a book signing in his small hometown, not far from me, when his autobiography was published. As it was such a small shop he spent time talking with everyone who came by. Hearing Darth Vader’s voice coming from such a humble and relatively soft-spoken man was an amazing experience.

  • Nope. You’ll tire out if you try to get nuts when you first start but you’ll improve quickly. Doesn’t take a lot of air.

  • Harmonica. I’m serious. You can started with a decent harp for $25 and carry it in your pocket for whenever the mood strikes you.

  • My Nextel back in the 90s had the same type of extended battery. Thick as hell by today's standards but it didn't actually fit better or worse in my pocket or my hand. Also didn't feel like I needed an external case just because it might slip out of my hand at any second.

  • As much as I like my thin devices, all batteries should be user replaceable without the need for disassembly of any kind.

  • It’s not enough to be federated with an instance in order for the content to pour in. Someone on your instance also needs to be subscribed to the individual communities.

    I have a bot account that regularly polls the top posts on the five largest instances. If it notices any post from communities that it is not already subscribed to it does so, pulling all the content from that point forward. Even after doing to this for weeks I’m still only pulling about 800 communities and the signal to noise ratio is still good.

  • My personal instance that is pulling in close to the top 500 communities. Over the past week I see about 4 million requests and 17GB data served.

  • I agree on the usefulness but a refresh button doesn’t make much sense in an app,designed for touch.

  • Don’t fool yourself. Lemmy has karma, it’s just not presented in the default UI.

  • Success

  • Storage is cheap but most of the instance operators that are setting up right now aren't prepared for how much storage they're going to need and it's associate costs. I'm not talking the big boys like .World, but the hundreds of private and semi-private instances being set up on $12/mo VPS and such.

    After 30 days of running my single user instance I'm at 23GB of storage. Since I'm using on prem equipment I have the lowest cost per GB possible and am not the least concerned. We're going to see a ton of attrition with hosted instances as the costs of ownership goes from 10, to 20, to 40, to $50+/mo. due to storage. Many aren't in anyway prepared to tackle the topic of moving PICTRS off to object storage or engage in other mitigations.
