I wonder how much it costs to get Joe Rogan to say both “No-nonsense” and “Tucker Carlson” in the same sentence.

Be sure to get a nice headshot of the CEO. Something lighted from below. Make sure he or she doesn’t smile; tell them it’s more professional that way. Desaturate the image so it’s black and white. Take the picture from a low angle to give it that look of distinction and confidence!

“Mortimer, we really have to do something. We’re almost out of Star Trek episodes and the writers are still on strike! All of them! Quick, look around and see what we can get to keep those subscriber numbers up!”

Those shows might be great, but I have no doubts in my mind that they are coming because Paramount executives are digging in for the long haul and trying to break the strike.

It’s hard to help when I don’t know which app you are using, but see if this link works: Data Hoarder

If you continue to have problems, you can follow the instructions on our pinned post that explains how to subscribe to communities. I know a lot of apps are very new and may not have community subscription capabilities yet. You may have to log in via the web on your home instance and subscribe to it that way.

Now this has some potential! I have something for my nighttime reading list! Great post!

I just want to make sure I understand.

The docker containers need to be set to the same time zone as the docker host. Is that right?

Our docker host has been set to America/Denver for weeks, but the containers have been UTC, and we haven't had any unusual behavior.

I did set the postgres container's time zone to America/Denver a few hours ago and also saw no strange behavior.

I took a snapshot before I did that, so I can roll back, but I'm wondering what bad things would happen that I should look out for.

I know this pain. This is why I have so many 49 minute timers

There are a few. Try lemmyverse.net.

Most people pick an instance by collecting a list of instances that are physically close to them, and then reviewing the /instances page to see how big the block list is. Lemmyverse.net can tell you how many users are on those blocked instances.

Oh no. There goes my workday productivity.

Heck yeah! I can't believe how popular that game was. Every time I bring up this era, everyone talks about it.

I was a big Tradewars 2002 fan, myself. You can still play it, which is what made me start to think about connecting it to Lemmy somehow. That, and Nethack.

As a site admin, I really wish it was easier to modify the content on the front page. We've had some interesting ideas over here, like linking to some simple online games and posting high scores for the site, or maybe just adding some analytics boxes to the site. But for us that's difficult.

A lot of our ideas come from a shared experience in BBSes from the 90s, where they had game doors, ascii art, and other fun site-specific elements. Technology has changed, but there are modern equivalents to all of those things that we wish we could implement.

 

“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.

Today we learned about Lemmy Explorer, a Lemmy instance and community search tool. It uses a crawler to collect information from Lemmy Fediverse servers, scanning each server once every 12 hours. With this tool you can sort your searches by more criteria than the community search at feddit.de:

  • Subscriber Count
  • Active User Count
  • Post Count
  • Comment Count

The default sorting method is called "Smart Sort," which we haven't been able to find documentation about yet.

A quick search for an Apple community yields strange results. !apple@lemmy.ml shows up first when sorted by posts, but !selfsovereignid@exploding-heads.com is the second search result, which merely mentions Apple Wallet in their sidebar and has nothing to do with Apple. Sixth on the list is !destiny@lemmy.world, which doesn't even mention Apple anywhere -- sidebar or otherwise.

Right now it looks like this is another way to see Lemmy servers and communities, but probably not the best method to compare them to each other and find the right community for you. For now let's call it another arrow in the quiver, but not the best search tool.

 

From the Github Repo Readme: These scripts enable users to build a Linux container or virtual machine in an interactive manner, offering options for both basic and advanced configurations. The basic setup utilizes default settings, whereas the advanced setup empowers users to alter these default settings. Through the use of the whiptail command, options are presented to users in a dialog box format. After the user makes their selections, the script collects and verifies the user's input in order to generate the final configuration for the container or virtual machine.
