"Returns to normal"... minus one user.

Why are so few people using Tampermonkey? It's so useful. Is there an alternative that I don't know about?

I was surprised at how beautiful some of the art could be. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I do.

So is Meta just not going to display/embed news in Canada anymore or is this a temporary measure until they roll out their plan to pay publishers?

"then it doesn't deserve to exist"

When I hear that, I hear an implicit value judgement with Meta as the standard. The value of an instance is in if it can survive against a social aggregation to Meta's instance. Only then is it worthy of existing, if it can compete with the degree of funding, advertising, and account creation streamlining that we would expect from a social media platform giant.

When I hear that, I hear that small, self-hosted instances don't deserve to exist.

What's your setup? How do you aggregate different feeds to one page? Where do you find the feeds? I have so many RSS questions - everyone who uses it loves it and I want to understand it.

Is lynx worth using? How does JavaScript work?

I had to work out all of the issues myself to get it working on my RaspberryPi 4. For this error, did you add a network to your "lemmy" container that would allow it access to the internet?

I'm still using 0.17.3, btw. I haven't checked if 0.17.4 for arm64 is out yet.

Edit: Just checked and it looks like they're just skipping past 0.17.4 and moving on to 0.18.0 on their docker hub. https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy/tags

Passwords "should" be hashed anyway, so I don't understand why there's a limit. Are they actually being stored as plaintext in a VARCHAR(60) column in the database? Please tell me that's not happening.

As a backend developer you're not doing anything with "looks". No interface design, HTML CSS, or anything like that.

The most common backend work involves the following:

  • ETL process creation
  • proprietary API maintenance
  • third-party API integration
  • Database data manipulation

I enjoy it. It feels like I'm designing special wires that connect different computers together. It can be repetitive if you're not designing your code to be extendable. If you're writing the ideal code, you're always writing new stuff. If you're just copy-pasting from other examples, that should indicate that there is a general solution that's being ignored.

If Firefox doesn't work out I'll give this a chance. Thanks.
