This would be neat to generate forum avatars, to show something similar to your real face.

The post yes, but not the comments at depth > 50.

No the max comment depth is generally lower now. However this doesnt affect comments created before upgrading.

Changing post.url from varchar(512) to varchar(2000) really messed up database performance so lemmy.ml became unusable. Turns out that column statistics are removed when the type is changed, so we had to run analyze as part of the migration. Seems like a bug in postgres.

Dont think I did, it was really a team effort. And in the end the working solution was suggested by @[email protected], thanks for that!

It will be rejected by the api (or by federation).

With pleasure :)

You’re welcome :)

What a shame, I spent a lot of time working on syncthing-android (probably around four years). But in the end I stopped for the same reason, it’s very demotivating to be so reliant on a corporation like Google which is entirely indifferent or even hostile to open source apps. Every year with the new Android version there are new required features or mandatory changes to implement, and if you don’t comply they don’t allow publishing new app versions. That’s not a big deal for commercial apps with fulltime developers, but it’s a lot of work for small apps maintained by volunteers. And it’s never anything that would benefit syncthing-android or it’s users, just busywork that takes away from bug fixes and feature development.

The good thing about open source is that someone else can always pickup and continue the work. Google’s shenanigans were what drove me to server administration and backend development, which finally led me to work on Lemmy. The experience with syncthing-android definitely taught me a lot about how to run a popular open source project.

Right I will also have to make a template with these common parts of the release announcement. Instance blocking is not implemented yet, but it uses the same federation library as Lemmy so that will be easy to add when its needed.

Thank you, fixed!

Thank you, fixed!

I wish this obsession with superhero movies would finally end. It’s been going on for what, more than ten years now? And it’s always the same, some bad guy wants to destroy the world (or the universe or the multiverse), then an excessive amount of cgi action happens and finally the good guys win.

Why not make some original movies with new stories, instead of rehashing the same old slop over and over again?

And yet the article manages to get people upset, makes the talk about it and get shared. Basically free marketing for SH2. It’s a win-win for eurogamer and for the game publisher. All it takes is a single troll on Wikipedia and some PR work.

In principle it’s finished, but last time we put it on lemmy.ml for testing there were performance problems and we had to revert. So far it’s not clear what caused those problems, so we need to try again somehow.

To decide if I should merge the linked PR or not (I did merge it).

Thats even more verbose so the second option is better.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thanks for the feedback! Personally I prefer the first option, but based on your comments I will merge the PR with the second option.

Just move the towel around randomly until Im halfway dry. Doesnt matter if there is some water left, it will dry soon enough.

Good reply, like you explain this wouldn’t work. Just one thing:

Lemmy doesn’t aim to be an uncensorable platform.
