Oh, whoops! I didn’t notice its timestamp when I read it 😅
I want to add to this. I'm not a psychologist, but I have heard a couple times about the term "third place". It's this concept that most people have a "place where they live", a "place where they work", and then a "place where they socialize". It has been theorized that the modern working-age population is having trouble with stress and mental health in large part due to the dearth of "third places".
The "third place" can be, for example, a restaurant or bar that you frequent (think the pub from the TV show Cheers), a book club, a sports club, or, crucially, a church or place of worship.
For Christianity at least, knowing that you were going to see and socialize with the same group of people (who share at least 1 major interest in common with you) every Sunday is apparently quite good for mental health. So, although I am no proponent of certain Western religions in general, I do think their decline has contributed to some of the mental health crises. How much? I cannot say.
SO FAR AWAY
Everytime I'm on a flight with infotainment, I wonder about the company responsible for writing the software. A small part of me wants to get a job at one of those companies, just to see what the process is like...
Putting aside the "should/shouldn't do" argument, I was also wondering if the code is even viable. I imagine that 'ls' and 'sudo' are probably pretty ubiquitous, but I bet there exist some Linux installs out there with a different shell than 'bash', and some might not have 'grep' too. That would lead to some pretty cryptic bugs for the end user, eh?
What a strange article. The reasoning for why 22 is interesting though very straightforward, and the rest of the article is essentially “I asked for port 22, and they gave it to me”. Little fanfare, little in way of storytelling conflict.
Not an issue in and of itself, but strange with a title of the form “This is the story of…” That sort of titling usually begets intrigue and triumph over adversity, dunnit?
I totally respect this being potentially a big ask, but does anyone have a TL;DR of what caused or was the fix for the federation issue(s)? I don't have capacity at this moment to look through Github Issues and PRs, but I'm curious
the people on Lemmy are worth talking to, period
no u
Because the "Reddit API changes" are a big epoch in Lemmy's history (and these graphs show it), I'm really curious to see if/when there will be another mass exodus or another "big Lemmy/federation moment".
I'm putting a small amount of money on "Lemmy gets mentioned in a viral news article" ;)
I remember a book I read in elementary school (in the Cam Jansen series, IIRC) where the main conflict was a mean older brother put a password on the new family computer (a huge deal in the early 90s), and the younger hires the kid detective to find the password. The password is “hot dog”, ultimately determined because the desktop BG was a picture of ketchup and mustard.
I recall being not super satisfied with that ending.
That’s a fair point. I’ve always assumed it was a form of rate-limiting, but you’re right, that’ll be part of their analytics at least
