awawawawawa this is too sweet <3

whoa she went through her entire questioning phase within like 15 days

samesies! the only reason i haven't started yet is that none of the good latex solvents (hexane, etc.) are easily available in my country, and i've had too many bad experience with glued latex tearing at the seams to want to make things that way. some day i will manage to befriend a chemical supplier...

I know, and I am not trying to change my username. The display name is an arbitrary string which, if set, is shown in place of the username. Many users have their display name formatted like " []", but it doesn't have to be related to the username at all - I could set my display name to "aaaaaaaaaaa" or "ಠ_ಠ" if I wanted to.

I also wasn't asking how to set a display name, I know how to do that. My question was how people set their display name to be longer than 20 characters, since although that is the limit of what Lemmy allows, some users have display names exceeding the limit.

Anyway, the question isn't an issue anymore, since I figured out how the user in question managed to circumvent the limit.

damn, a latex (?) skirt with pockets?!? you are one lucky girl :3

Their username is Trying2KnowMyself, but their display name is "Trying2KnowMyself [they/them/their/theirs/themself]" which is significantly more than 17 characters

Parry the platypus?

platypus rolls eyes, puts on fedora

Parry Perry the Platypus?!?

some day i will finally manage to put on some fat, and then WOO BABY i'll actually start looking more fem :3

if you can provide me a better way to keep my homelab from getting DDoSed every five minutes then by all means, please share it

bcachefs is way more flexible than btrfs on multi-device filesystems. You can group storage devices together based on performance/capacity/whatever else, and then do funky things like assigning a group of SSDs as a write-through/write-back cache for a bigger array of HDDs. You can also configure a ton of properties for individual files or directories, including the cache+main storage group, amount of data replicas, compression type, and quite a bit more.

So you could have two files in the same folder, one of them stored compressed on an array of HDDs in RAID10 and the other one stored on a different array of HDDs uncompressed in RAID5 with a write-back SSD cache, and wouldn't have to fiddle around with multiple filesystems and bind mounts - everything can be configured by simply setting xattr values. You could even have a third file which is striped across both groups of HDDs without having to partition them up.

While I agree that this is stupid, why would a deaf person be using Spotify in the first place?

Shame, now it won't be possible to access Gmail from the Nintendo DS Browser.
