Tea (PG Tips Original) with milk and sugar.

Yeah, it definitely rehashed the trope, but I still think that movie is underrated.

Without it being open source and not providing reproducible builds, the privacy claims are borderline weightless.

I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.

It’s a nigligible inconvenience

This community is called Mildly Infruating, after all 😜

Hrm, this is maybe more of a post for !trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca. As far as I can tell, this community is for really old and stale meme formats. I would argue that anything containing Wojacks hasn't reached that level of staleness yet.

Apt is the greatest package manager ever built.

What's your rationale for making that claim?

doas, afaik, was originally made for FreeBSD, so some of its features aren't compatible with/haven't been implemented for Linux. That may or may not be an important issue for you to consider.

There are already Lemmy instances that don’t allow downvotes, like beehaw

"Deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable." 

Lemmy needs proper polls.

Ha, that username is apparently not allowed. They require that a username contain at least one letter.

How come I don't see my previous rules when I dump the ruleset, then? I have my rules written in /etc/nftables.conf, and they were previously applied by running # nft -f /etc/nftables.conf. Now, when I dump the current ruleset with # nft list ruleset, those previous rules aren't there — all I see are Docker's rules.

Don’t forget that the U.S. Constitution was written in 1787; it’s crucial to keep in mind the language of the time – languages, and, by extension, the usages of words, evolve; “well regulated” was not intended to be understood to mean government regulation (which is how the term is currently used) but, instead, was intended to mean “well-functioning” -- this is further supported in the Federalist Papers.

I'm not sure if they count as underrated, but the band that immediately comes to mind is The Dear Hunter.

This is mostly likely a bug on the maintainer's side — sometihng went wrong in the signing process, so the verification failed on your end. There most likely is nothing that you can do to fix it. You could try reinstalling the package, but, beyond that, I'm not sure. I would report it if it persists, though.

“The camera that was confiscated illegally broadcasts on the Aljazeera channel live the northern Gaza Strip, including the activities of the IDF forces and endangers our fighters,” Karhi said in a statement. “It should be noted that a warning was given to the AP agency already last week that according to the law and the government’s decision they are prohibited from providing broadcasts to Al Jazeera, however they decided to continue broadcasting on the channel causing a real harm to the security of the state.”

Seems like quite a stretch to essentially accuse the AP of espionage when they are simply watching something that presumably anyone, on either side of the conflict, is able to see.

The move comes weeks after Israel shut down Al Jazeera’s operations in the country, raiding the news outlet’s offices and seizing its communication equipment, prompting swift condemnation from the United Nations and rights groups over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s moves to restrict press freedoms.

Yeah, that's whack. To play devil's advocate, though, I do wonder what the exact rationale was for this. Was Al Jazeera engaged in legitimate espionage, using their news organization as a front? That's the only case where it might seem plausible to do this, but, even still, wouldn't you just arrest those who were engaging in the act of espionage? Why take down the entire organization?

Technologically, there's a little more to it than only that, but, in practice, that's essentially what it does.

What are the names of the movies/shows in the top 3 pictures?

There's already an issue open for this.

Unfortunately, comments, and votes don't appear to be federating from Peertube. I've opened some issues (LemmyNet/Lemmy#4314, LemmyNet/Lemmy#3837, LemmyNet/lemmy-ui#2161) for this in the past, and, from what I've heard, it may be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation.

Local Only Communities

Local communities are an interesting concept, though I am concerned about unintended side effects. I have noticed many times that people from other instances chime in to meta-communities to provide some alternative viewpoints and context when instances are discussing interactions with the rest of the network. I worry that some will become too isolated/sheltered. But I suppose, in the end, that's ultimately up to the individual instances to decide.

Lemmy can now federate with Wordpress, Discourse and NodeBB.

Increased federation capabilities is always awesome to see!

In order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts. The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.

This is a clever solution. I think this is a good way to go about it.

RSS feeds now include post thumbnail and embedded images.Security

I really appreciate the continued attention given to keep RSS alive.

A security audit was recently performed on Lemmy.

Awesome! And congrats!

• Added Community local_subscribers count
• Support for custom post thumbnail
• Indicate to user when they are banned from community
• Added alt_text for image posts

Great features for improving the polish and user experience on Lemmy!

I would be cautious of attributing the falling rates of firearms related crimes to the 1996 buyback [source]. It can be argued that the rates were already dropping prior to the 1996 buyback. This can also be further shown in other countries around the world that didn't enact such laws. For example, all of western Europe has shown declines in homocide rates since the 90s [source]:

This matches up with Australia [source]:

And, it matches up with the UK [source]:

The same goes for the USA, and Canada.

we very rarely have incidents like mass/school shootings.

For the sake of clarity, here is a list of all the mass shootings that have happened in Australia -- from that list, I count 24 since the firearms buyback in the wake of the Tasmania mass shooting.

That's a loaded question.

I think this is a non issue while we are small.

For sure, but I feel that it is better to think hard on an issue while one has the luxury of non-urgency.

FreshRSS supports HTTP authentication, and there's an open issue for adding OAuth support.

Out of curiosity, could you elaborate on what being a member of sh.itjust.works says about one's personality?

Only one: My Jellyfin server.

Are you using a VPN? If yes, try disabling it.

EDIT (2024-05-22T19:33Z): For clarity, I'm not against the use of VPNs. I am simply offering ideas for troubleshooting steps. It is very common that sites and services will flag VPN providers as potential botnets and, thus, barrage a VPN user with captchas. This outcome isn't unique to VPNs — there are potential browsing fingerprints that can result in being flagged as a potential bot — but it is at least one potential and common culprit.

i thought the protocol allows for all 3… upvotes, downvotes and ‘likes’

Do you have a source for that, by chance? From what I can see in the documentation for the ActivityPub protocol, it only states:

6.8 Like Activity

The Like activity indicates the actor likes the object.

The side effect of receiving this in an outbox is that the server SHOULD add the object to the actor's liked Collection.

There doesn't appear to be any other client to server interactions for different types of likes. Afaik, Lemmy extended the ActivityPub protocol to add the downvote.

That was a very informative and interesting read. Thank you for sharing!

That only exports settings (general account config, saved posts and comments, blocked users, communities, and instances, etc.). That won't export all of the user's own posts and comments.

! trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca

I honestly forgot that this game existed. I remember it being very well made, but I could never fully get into it for some reason.

The fact that it's a "single board" computer, specifically, is mildly irrelevant, imo; just follow standard backup practices. The only way the type of computer really comes into question is whether or not it has adequate resources to run whatever backup solution that you choose. For my usecase, Borg works great, but choose whatever solution fits your requirements. The "simplest", and lightest solution is probably rsync, but that may leave a lot to be desired.

Well ActivityPub isn’t 1:1 interoperable all the time

It will be interoperable up to the base spec (assuming, of course, that both services adhere to the base spec).

Like you’re not going to see the upvotes/downvotes of a Lemmy post when viewing from Mastodon.

If both Mastodon, and Lemmy adhere to the spec, then they can interoperate. If Lemmy's upvotes are federated as ActivityPub like activities, and Mastodon intereperets like activities as favorites, then there should be no issue. Downvotes will certainly not federate as Mastodon doesn't use them, and they don't exist in the base spec.

What does interoperate is the post and comment content which is the important part

Likes federate as well. See Section 6.8 of the ActivityPub spec.

Would you mind pointing out examples of them boycotting the software? From what I saw in their comment history, it was mostly them talking about moving away from centralization on lemmy.ml.

I have heard that it might be an issue with Peertube's federation implementation, in that its not properly pushing externally.

Canada currently has assisted dying (referred to as MAID — Medical Assistance In Dying). The issue that I see with it, in Canada, is that it is a conflict of interest; Canada has public healthcare, so all patients are seen as a net drain on the system. Because of this, It is in the government's best interest to reduce the cost of healthcare by lessening the number of patients in hospitals. In my view, it is, therefore, in the Canadian government's best interest to encourage assisted dying over treatment to the absolute limits of what is ethically or legally allowed.
