Forkk,

The Action button, which could be similar to the Apple Watch Ultra’s Action button but with more phone-focused options, is expected to be a new physical button on the next-generation Pro iPhone models that replaces the Ring/Silent switch. The Action button would allow users to quickly access various functions and settings without necessarily unlocking the device or navigating to an app.

I just started using Linux... any great tips?

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...

Forkk,

Ctrl+R to search your bash history. I hate how long I went without knowing this, so I’ve always got to spread the word about it.

Forkk,

Didn’t take me that long, but I had a similar reaction to learning about it haha

Forkk,

Disabling JavaScript seems to work in most cases. Not sure why that isn’t listed higher up on here

Forkk,

I’m sure most are already aware of it, but to get around it they’d have to lock part of the article behind a “load more” button that requires JS (or even just auto-load it via JS without a button), which I have seen some do.

There must be a reason it’s not done universally though. Maybe because it’d break archives? Not sure

Illinois just made it possible to sue people for doxxing attacks (arstechnica.com)

The Civil Liability for Doxing Act, which takes effect on January 1, 2024, passed after a unanimous vote. It allows victims to recover damages and to request “a temporary restraining order, emergency order of protection, or preliminary or permanent injunction to restrain and prevent the disclosure or continued disclosure of a...

Forkk,

Cool, now let’s do it federally, and make it an actual crime and not just civil liability.

Forkk,

Firefox already supported ublock origin on mobile and a handful of other extensions. This is just them opening it up to more extensions.

How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff?

I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

Forkk,

As far as I can tell, the software just wasn’t built with that in mind, so I would expect some kind of bugs or weird behavior like race conditions, etc. Nothing is stopping anyone from trying it to see what happens though I guess.

Forkk,

It's quite difficult to read, but there's a map of it all here. Wish someone would just put this info in a list, but I haven't found anything like that yet.

Forkk,

It was better before there were so many new instances popping up. I suppose I'm one of the folks contributing to that haha.

Would be nice if you could exclude the smaller instances.

Forkk,

Do you have a source on what happened? I hadn't heard anything about this, and the linked article doesn't say anything other than "recent events."

Forkk,

He said it himself. Reddit isn't profitable. If the VC funding dries up, the company is done. Just goes to show the importance of finding an alternative way of funding the operating costs of online communities. Maybe we've got a good one here.

Forkk,

It comes down to whoever is paying to host the software. Most seem to be funded by donations.

Forkk,

Lemmy uses Actix Web for the backend, which I'd probably pick too. The frontend though, I'd prefer to just render templates on the server instead of building a SPA in JavaScript.

This really doesn't need that level of interactivity, and it's used for annoying things like live-updating my frontpage. Maybe I'm just biased from how bad reddit's redesign was. This is at least way better than that.

Forkk,

It was blocked by kbin having cloudflare DDoS protection enabled to reduce server load. I guess that blocks federation.

Forkk,

I'm sure you can do that in cloudflare but it'd require whitelisting every Lemmy instance that you want to federate with on kbin's end, which is a bit much.

Forkk,

No, the person you're talking to is using Lemmy :P

Forkk,

Yeah, there isn't an obvious way to tell. I only know because their instance's address is lemmy.pt.

Although, annoyingly, Lemmy doesn't show that part if someone has a display name set. Not sure if kbin does though.

There should be an easier way to tell.

Forkk,

Gotta be either factorio or satisfactory

Forkk,

That'd be "they were depressed after being caught in the rain" or something

Forkk,

Hi kbin! Happy to see y'all joining us.
