Smh. Right doesn’t show off those abs nearly as well.

You kid, but I’m fully aware that I find Adria Arjona impossibly attractive, and that because of that she makes Bix that much more appealing to me.

But she did do a fantastic job playing the character. It’s too bad she hasn’t been in too many things aside from Andor that are actually good. There is pretty much just Good Omens.

Either of those are only options for someone who runs an instance.

I agree running things the other way around would be better, but monitoring about a dozen communities, I get away with a call every 5 minutes, and it almost never needs to load a second page. That is not significant afaik.

How would it miss stuff? You’d always use “new” sort and load pages until you run into content from the last update. Stuff from the last page appearing again because new content moved the content along, shouldn’t stop you from loading another page, and any new content will be caught in the next update.

Only way I know to do this, is to just regularly check the comment and post feeds, loading more pages until you get content you’ve already ingested.

This is how @saucechan@ani.social works. It also responds to mentions using notifications, but mentions in post bodies don’t create notifications, so the work-around was necessary.

If you didn’t know, there is a comment feed endpoint, which will contain new comments from all posts, without requiring you to check every post for new comments. It’s not used by most clients, but it’s available in the default webUI, and hence the API.

You can make it a little simpler, by only loading the subscribed feed, and making sure you sub to the relevant communities on the bot account.

Hm.

Making and running fediverse bots is very easy right now. The APIs are well documented a libraries exist for almost every platform and programming language to make things even simpler. All the parts you’d need for every bot anyway, are done and available. You only need to write the code that does what your specific use-case requires.

I’ve made four now. Lemmytrix, @dailycomic@sh.itjust.works, @saucechan@ani.social, and @mofumatic@sakurajima.moe.

At the same time, it should have some barrier for entry.

If you need a piece of software to hold your hand every step of the way, you maybe shouldn’t be responsible for a bot.

And it’s not really something you can easily make general purpose software for. There is the RED bot for discord, but it is a huge project and still relies on user-created add-ons to do more specific things.

Worse, he chooses to make it orange with spray-tan.

Something something fuck Ted Faro

This is already a thing. Here is what I see on subordinate mods in communities I created.

Wine: wtf is this shit?

There’s a word for that, too.

Corruption.

Are you sure you’re not just getting back what you’re putting in?

My experience has been so completely opposite, I simply have to assume we are using the platform in some fundamentally different way.

What communities are you frequenting?

The ones I sub and post to have been nice.

Is it actually being used?

My guess it just doesn’t evict stuff from before the suspend, starts re-loading stuff after the resume, which makes the apparent amount “used” go up.

On a normal linux system, “free” RAM will over time drop down to zero, as the kernel puts the extra memory available to use. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t room to evict less-needed stuff if necessary.

AFAIK linux only starts actively evicting RAM once it fills up.

Like the other guy mentioned, drill down and see if you can find the actual program causing the problem.

A VPN provider can potentially log every site you visit, just like your ISP.

The actual benefits are mostly practical, being able to access streaming services and other sites from other countries.

It does hide your IP but this isn’t as big a deal as you might think, and moot, if the ISP logs your activity.

It does not provide some special extra layer of encryption. It does encrypt the traffic, but most of the time, it was already encrypted anyway. The vast majority of internet traffic is.

1. Maybe? There are ways to limit what apps are able to access the internet. Rooting, or installing a Custom ROM may be possible on your current phone.

2. I won’t break entirely. It’ll probably mostly work, but a lot of systems in normal android phones do rely on google play services.

3. Definitely. FOSS apps tend to be entirely local, not phoning home unless there is good reason in the context of the functionality of the app. At the very least, they will more often than not still work, if denied internet access. This doesn’t mean good commercial software doesn’t exist, though.

4. A VPN is probably not necessary for your privacy. Using one is potentially even a privacy risk, as you then need to trust the company providing it, in addition to your ISP. Your actual internet traffic is encrypted either way, unless you visit websites that do not use HTTPS, which is extremely rare nowadays.

We sure did, others have already commented.

Neat!

Welcome to lemmy!

I don’t think there’s any effective difference between timeshift and snapper. They’re both essentially just GUIs for features supported by the underlying btrfs filesystem.

Timeshift backup to another disk, is just rsync.

Sure.

But there’s no program that just creates a handy partition image. You’ll have to get into the weeds of how your filesystem actually works.

Or steam, for PC.
