I'm sure they'll be begging to negotiate any day now, Donald.

Server Upgrade and Update to Lemmy 0.19.10 (leminal.space)

Hello everyone. I hope you're having/about to have an enjoyable weekend!

A quick update to let you all know the server had a significant upgrade yesterday. While you may notice things are a little more zippy, the need for added performance was definitely not the main driver for the upgrade. The main reason was the ever-increasing size of the database, which had left us dangerously close to a full disk!

Unfortunately, this means our monthly server costs have almost doubled, and while I haven't been open to accepting donations in the past, we have now passed a cost threshold where I feel it is appropriate. To this end, I have added a couple of donation options to the sidebar. Donate, don't donate, it's entirely up to you. I appreciate everyone's circumstances are different, and nothing is expected from you.

In other news, we also updated to the latest Lemmy 0.19.10 version yesterday. 🎉

While this is a fairly minor update, with most development now focused on the next major version, it does introduce the ability to delete PMs along with other content when a user is banned, which is a major QoL improvement for admins. Importantly, it means no more manually deleting Nicole's flirtatious PMs from the database...

You can see changes and follow the discussion in the 0.19.10 thread.

How anyone can take issue with calling this government 'fascist' is beyond me.

Meta is getting rid of factchecking. If you want to leave Instagram, what are your alternatives? (www.theguardian.com)

“[For] people who live in the country or in remote areas or minority groups or [who have] small businesses, that is a really good way for them to communicate and reach other people,” she says.

“It’s just not possible to set up an alternative at this point in time. So, to put it bluntly, we’re in a bit of deep shit, to be honest.”

No mention of Pixelfed, but I can understand why. Will it only be seen as an alternative once a critical mass of users move there? And can that happen if they don't see it as an alternative? Chicken and egg. I'm trying out, but it's a little vapid when everyone I know is on Instagram.

I have been hosting this for about a year and really enjoy its interface. I noticed today it has reached this milestone and wanted to share.

It looks like there may have been some small style changes to the web UI, so please let me know if anything has broken with the Leminal Space theme (if you're using it).

EDIT: Minor bugfix release 0.19.7 has since been installed.

Never believe the hype. by chrisbit in c/[email protected]

I was more getting at the headline being worded to imply the corporation is doing the 'gifting' here.

It's funny to me that the blue tick has gone from meaning 'oh good, this is at least coming from a verified source' to 'this is almost certain to be alt right bullshit'.

Gaming vs Regular Distros by chrisbit in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

From what I've seen, there's no real performance difference with a gaming distro. What they tend to offer is an out of box experience that is more tailored towards gaming than a regular distro (think 'game mode', Steam, Proton, and maybe Lutris pre-installed, Nvidia drivers if you need them).
