Considering that any news source outside of China and Russia are banned on that server, not very.

The problem is every lemmy instance features links to donate to devs by default. Removing it is kind of a moral dilemma of using someone's software without contributing, so it's better to just not use it all.

@73ms I don't see a problem with removing it from existing sites that can't reasonably change at this point - I actually convinced Beehaw to do so. However, if someone is looking to spin up an instance at this point, there are alternatives.

You haven't seen it, because you're using kbin, but every unaltered lemmy instance has a donate link in the top bar on every page of the site. So, yes, they do profit off it.

More ironic that the mod team agreed.

99% of what made it to /all from there was pretty much "I hate my manager"

on kbin we have reputation, which is nearly impossible to keep positive, because it counts downvotes but not upvotes. They are working on fixing it though.

Ernest has said he's open to removing downvotes altogether. I'm sure it will be brought up again.

From what I've gathered, Ernest had been trying to follow general fediverse conventions where possible (boosts and @ at the beginning of mags), but in the meantime Lemmy got popular, so he's going back to make things more lemmylike. Reputation got caught in the middle.

This is a weird comment for someone that has given the most downvotes to replies out of everyone in this thread.

It's extra annoying, because lemmy people can downvote, but they can't (as far as I know) boost.

The problem is many Lemmy instances don't use downvotes (like beehaw), so posts and replies from those sites will unnaturally rise to the top and drown out other users.

If big instances like Beehaw go whitelist federation only, it will effectively make single user instances useless.

Is it possible with a script to add a context link to posts in a users profile? Since notifications aren't working reliably, it would be nice to quickly get back to a comment to see if someone responded.

edit: There is already copy url under "more" which gives me some hope.

Nice, didn't even occur to me that that was a link.

Are you being dense on purpose? Please reread my post and show where I said I thought mine was better or more creative. Literally the opposite.

if you're on desktop, click the thumbnail image in the top right of the post to blow it up.

it's a very literal interpretation of random

Been using it forever and didn't know it could do this. Definitely a better option for anyone that doesn't need stylus for something else.

Virtual NAS

Okay I saw this posted a lot and apparently it is pretty common but why do people virtualize your nas in for example a proxmox server/cluster. If that goes down it gets super hard to get your data back than if you do it bare Metal, doesn't it? Are people only doing it so save on seperate devices or are my concerns unreasonable?

On my proxmox, I make a mergefs filesystem that I just mount to my lxc containers that need shared storage.

I did it for years. The only problem is, if you mess up your opnsense config, you're gonna need to get the keyboard and monitor out.

Hey guys, I don't know CSS at all and was directed here for assistance. I'd like to make these grey panels on top of my background black and a bit transparent for a sleeker look, is this possible? and if so, how? Thank you so much!

edit: two weeks later and i have learned css and html well enough to make some cool stuff, albeit simple. same with JS.

@minnieo
I just checked out a couple of your magazines. You're really going all out on styling, very cool!
