28, he/him. interested in all things tech, music production, and gaming. i write songs your girlfriend would probably listen to.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Eddie,

Punk isn’t a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.

The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.

Eddie,

If you’ve heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He’s just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Is it safe to delete files in pictrs_data?

For some reason on my self hosted lemmy instance, I’ve managed to accumulate about 50GB worth of data inside my pictrs docker volume. I’m the only person on my instance and I’ve never uploaded any photos to my server other than my profile photo, profile banner, and site logo. Shouldn’t all photos be hosted on other...

Eddie,

Sorry, but I’m not going to listen to anybody who actively and purposely registers a .zip TLD.

Eddie,

That’s exactly the issue here. We did not vote on this. (at least here in the US)

Eddie,

Check this out.

Eddie,

Please, no.

Eddie,

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Eddie,

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Eddie,

Just share your screen on discord

Eddie,

Oops didn’t realize what community I was in, my b!

If OP is looking for FOSS I suggest Element for Matrix. You can screenshare on there as well.

Eddie,

Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

Eddie,

Just ignore them? I don’t see your point here at all. If you don’t want to eat Taco bell, don’t eat it???

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Eddie,

Action sports games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, 1080, Wave Race, Steep, and more. I mentioned Steep because it’s the latest mainstream attempt but I feel like it never really found it’s footing.

Eddie,

Saved you a click: They’re talking about Ratchet and Clank.

does anyone else feel enslaved?

When I was growing up the internet was a place to be liberated from the world say what you want to say, be whoever you want and form genuine communities with shared interests. Now the internet feels like a tool to enslave the mind with identity echo chambers and any deviation leads you to being banned and blocked shunned and...

Eddie,

As long as the internet remains open, even if it’s in our own private corner, then we’ll always have a place to go, even if the place changes. If Google’s “internet DRM” ever becomes a thing, we’re completely fucked.

Eddie,

I’m at the airport right now, about to leave for a week long vacation to Hawaii! I’ve never been before so it’ll be a super fun way to celebrate my one year anniversary with my wife!

Sorry to hear about the rough times OP. From one human being to another, keep doing your best and know that there’s another human somewhere hoping you are well. Cheers.

Eddie,

That’s cool! I used to work in a bookstore but always felt like it was trying to put a price on reading. Library would feel a lot homier for me I feel. Thank you for what you do! If it weren’t for Libraries as a kid I probably would have never fallen in love with reading.

Eddie,

I posted this elsewhere but I’ll post it again.

I tried going back to Reddit the day before yesterday, and was immediately disappointed with how many useful comments for solutions for problems have been deleted due to the Great Reddit Migration of 2023.

I’m not upset at the people doing this, it’s just proof that this method of protest truly works. If I have any questions or wanna chat about a specific topic I’ll come ask here on Lemmy. That way, I can get answers to problems from you lovely people while building up the fediverse with useful tips and tricks.

Eddie,

Anything that involves the mechanic “defeat all the enemies in this room in order to unlock the next room” is a huge turn off for me.

Eddie,

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.

Eddie,

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

Well, time to start teaching myself how to create a docker container. Forking will be no issue, but creating the container will be completely new grounds for me. Thanks for the new project idea!

Eddie,

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I’m still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.

Eddie,

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.
