Additionally my daughter will be born within a few weeks, so there won’t be any time for programming.

Congratulations! I hope nothing but the best comrade!

At one point, Jetflicks claimed to host more than 183,200 TV episodes.

Look what they took from you!

It would be the death of this side of the federated internet. The amount of content it would generate once federated would crush existing servers. You would have to defederate or face near instant storage shortages. The federated que would take years to sync.

Anyway, it wouldn't happen because they would need to transmit real vote counts instead of fuzzy vote counts. You would be able to see how every single person on reddit voted. Which would simply expose the vote manipulation going on there.

Hmm so you're looking for a naming theme like the old Android scheme of Desserts or MacOS California Parks.

List off the top of my head

  • Tree Species
  • Cities, Towns, Villages in Cuba
  • Mushroom Species
  • Names of Wildflowers

That's all I got for now.

Every tool a can be abused... If we were not making tools based on their harm potential wed still be in the cave. People said the same thing about Gab and mastodon.

@MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de When I type @ I get a user picker in the text interface that autocompletes the username, and then it just generates the link in Markdown. The link does not need to be generated in Markdown, just typing out that syntax will ping the user. The markdown is required, so users can click the link and view the person's profile. That user will get a notification in their inbox.

Typing ! and then the name of the comm does a similar thing !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It will also format it in Markdown, but again, not required because that syntax will be changed into a localized link to the comm.

Localized comment links currently are not a thing, but it is an active discussion. You can view that discussion here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987 and the underlying issue that causes the lack of localized comment links here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1101

This isn't a support question, as in a trouble shooting question. This is a question to the Lemmy community about the platform itself. Its an input/feedback request, not a "how do I use Lemmy" question.

Reddit moderation style is simply an extension of classic bulletin board style moderation. I think the real issue with moderation has to do with the rate of new user intake and lack of population control. These are things classic forms have found solutions for in the past as well. Something Awful for example charged money for the privilege of posting. I've seen forms require you to sign up with your ISP provided email.

If an instance isn't properly managing intake volume, they will have moderation issues. Many Lemmy instances have questionnaires and approvals before an account is created. The aim being to ensure the user understands what the instance is about and for administration to ensure the user is the right fit. It's only an issue of manpower of you're trying to be a .world style instance, the biggest instance around.

I think that goal however is counter to federation on principle. Large instances create moderation problems and lack any real culture or cohesion as a result. Finding ways to encourage smaller but more numerous instances I think would go a long way to tackle moderation issues.

Right now, defederating is the only real way to avoid these problematic instances. Which at times can be like using a sledge hammer to cut a cake. If instance A has a community (1) explicitly brigading Instance B, there is no real way to quarantine users who are from A and active in community (1), you have to either ban each individual you come across or defederate the instance.

It might be more interesting to provide tools to allow for selective defederation. For example, preventing an instance from federating votes; A means of rate limiting an instances comments; Blocking post creation by users from a given instance; Read only federation settings.

Obviously this is limited by what activitypub is capable of, but I can't imagine these ideas are impossible.

Pull requests are welcome.

I mean, the poster is one of the two lead developers of the Lemmy platform. He might get a pass.

LogSec is really nice and flexible.

Where it the data stored, this looks really interesting.

Oh that's cool. How easy would it be to sync those files between devices?

Yeah a lot of ISPs are putting people behind CG-NAT these days. Good luck getting around that with out some kind of relay.

Follow the link in the post

How does Sonarr and Radarr detect what files are the correct episodes?

I used to be a heavy Tasker user. I think I hit a wall with building more complex rules using their interface, which made me stop using it. Maybe they have a way to just write a script instead now, but I haven't looked into it.

Turn all land into public land disposing it from corporate ownership.

These guides are very well timed! I just bought a NAS for the home network.
