Why do people say "perfect storm of conditions"? Larian has worked hard to perfect their style of crpgs through the divinity series. They put an emphasis on good storytelling and listening to fan feedback. They do early access to perfect their systems. They hire writers, composers and developers based on merit. They care about what they are creating. This is not a perfect storm but good management and development cycle. There is nothing random or lucky about it.

 

Definitely Oscar material.

Thanks, I have gone through and identified the REAL accounts gathered the ID's and deleted the rest from local_user and person tables.

Haven't really played much with Postgress so took some time to look up all the functionality with that.

EDIT: yup, made sure the person one was local only :)

The one I learnt at the dawn of time was BODMAS.

bracket of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction.

I learnt this in the 70's early 80's in South Africa, so not sure if things have changed.

lol, this made me chuckle... Are you an AI bot?

And How would I do that in the UI? This is the issue, haven't found a way to even find those users on my system, even though it marks at 15 extra users.

thanks I will try this.

 

Hi there, Been running my own little Lemmy instance basically to see how it runs with federation and stuff like that. I have had open (email validation) for the odd person or 2 that might want to use it.

Early this morning (my time 4:43am) I had about 15 new users all at the exact same time registering as users with same structure names (random words) followed by 4 numbers. Being all within 1 minute of each other they are obvious bots.

Going through the UI I have not been able to find a way to remove them. I have since changed my registration policy to make the person fill in an application, captcha, email validation etc. to help stop polluting the ecosystem with bots.

Any help would be appreciated. I am running it all under docker

 

Since we doing Old memes, here is one I recreated in Blender about a year ago. :)

I agree, and the level of user on G+ was of a techy IT variety of person. It was great and you could have good conversations. Lemmy really has that feel now. Enjoy it till either the general public gets hold of it and it turns into a cesspool or it slowly dies a death.

Personally I hope to face neither of those scenarios, but history is not on our side.

Been using Joplin for ages now. used to use Evernote and was trying to find something to replace it. Joplin fitted that need, and being able to store all the stuff on my dropbox in encrypted format made it great for use on all my devices. Combination of Joplin and Bitwarden is pretty much my secure solution to everything. lol
