Space based mirrors for asteroid mining. Bounce a sh*tton of light from the sun around and just melt asteroids. Love that in the Troy Rising series.
Lots of problems getting there irl (need a better way to get out of the gravity well, and light speed lag for command and control would be a real issue) but the idea is just too fun.
I'm just looking for an overview, like, what goes where to do what. I'm helping with some basic testing on the beta, looking at the client page source/github, and would like to ground my understanding. I know this is borderline for a "self hosting" post. I hope the mods will let it fly because this is such a large community. I'm...
Hello, with the spicy beehaw drama I was wondering, would it be possible to selfhost a lemmy instance literally just for yourself and no one else to like, circumvent any defederation shenanigans? As all instances federate per default, this should work right?...
I think your ALL feed would pick up stuff you have not specifically subscribed to, after you federate with one server, and you could then see new stuff that way.
I /think/, lol, ive not tested.
But it would get a lot of contenet if you federated with the larger sites.

I have 49 gb of music and at the moment i just sync it between my devices with syncthing. But i think it will be better if i stream it, as the storage on my phone is limited....
While I'm not interested in encouraging /r/selfhosted users to leave reddit, I thought it would be good to have some discussion around the possibilities for a selfhosted community on lemmy....
Synesthesia is when two senses combine with each other and form relationships. For example, I have the most common kind: grapheme-color synesthesia. Mine looks like this. The only one that's supposed to be black is "1". Otherwise, the ones in black have no color associated with them....
My wife does. Hers is super useful. She sees time/the calendar as kind of an oval floating in front of her vision. Makes it easy for her to keep track of sh*t all year long.
Also she can draw a word in the air and it glows if its spelled wrong. She won a lot of spelling bees in her youth, lol.
I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.
How long is one obligated to keep a kid’s gift?
If you buy someone’s kid a toy for their birthday or a holiday, how long before you’re not offended to find out it’s been chucked?
What exotic science fiction technology would you finance research into, if you had billions of dollars?

Why aren't my posts showing up?
I noticed that my posts aren't showing up in my profile or on the community. But they're showing in my post count on the top of my profile.

What are the best fediverse alternative to the big sites on the web?
I know I've made the jump to Mastodon, and now lemmy. But what are the other sites that I'm missing out on?
