Every screw colony has a queen screw.

Does it need to be accessible via API (e.g. SQL) or just a spreadsheet-style web interface?

The Republican candidate didn’t have a medical degree? I’d have thought that was a requirement for coroner.

What about the usage demographics within each country?

In underdeveloped/exploited countries, internet usage is more likely to be concentrated among the economic elites who formerly benefited from colonialism—so if increasing adoption in those countries just follows the pattern of other internet use, it could have the opposite effect from the one intended.

You can use any port for SSH—or you can use something like Cockpit with a browser-based terminal instead of SSH.

If you didn’t map a local config file into the container, it’s using the default version inside the container at /app/public/conf.yml (and any changes will get overwritten when you rebuild the container). If you want to make changes to the configuration for the widget, you’ll want to use the -v option with a local config file so the changes you make will persist.

Rather than starting from scratch, would it make more sense to make an ActivityPub plugin for the open-source MediaWiki software Wikipedia runs on? MediaWiki already has some “interwiki” functionality that such a plugin could expand on, and you’d have the advantage of being able to fork content from WP and other MW projects without having to re-format it. Plus you’d be able to leverage other MW plugins—Semantic MediaWiki in particular could add a lot of useful functionality to federated wikis, like articles that could query and aggregate information from other federated articles rather than just linking to the text.

The inverse stare law.

Everyone.

It’s been feeding in the Fukushima wastewater.

Was it RAID 0 (striped), or RAID 1 (mirrored)?

In general, a mirrored RAID is best for minimizing data loss and downtime due to drive failure, while separate volumes and periodic backups is best for recovering from accidental file deletion or malware. (I.e., if a RAID gets told to write bad data, it’ll overwrite the good data on both drives at once.)

If you want the best of both worlds with just two drives, try zfs—you can mirror the drives to protect against drive failure, and make snapshots to protect against accidental data loss. (This still won’t protect against everything—for that you should have some kind of off-site backup as well.)

The Aral Sea would come back again?

This way when lemmy.world is down its not a big deal because posting to any news community federates to all of the communities instead of barely having people see your post.

I thought that’s more or less how it’s supposed to work now: if someone on instance A subscribes to a community on instance B, the community gets cached on instance A; and users there can post to it locally (and see each other’s posts) even if it temporarily can’t re-sync with instance B.

Is that not how it works in practice?

Or maybe a general-purpose ActivityPub plugin, if you prefer to view lemmy content from your mastodon account or vice versa.

Conceptually, it’s similar to an RSS feed: you can’t give someone a link to a feed that will automatically open in their own feed reeder; they need to go to their own reader first and paste the url there. The only exception is if their browser is configured to recognize feeds and open them in their default reader—and I think that’s going to have to be the solution for fediverse content: browsers will need to be updated, or browser plugins developed.

Ongoing discussion—i.e., comments replying to other comments, not just posts—drives engagement as much as content. If the post-to-comment ratio is too high, active commenters are less likely to encounter each other in the sea of automated posts.

I’ve been running two NC instances for over five years (linuxserver docker images)—one has been issue-free, and the other had sporadic issues like OP is describing… but not for the last year or so, so I assumed the issue had been fixed in an update. Or maybe the problem was the network configuration instead of NC.

What does it mean for an instance to “join in”? Can users not participate unless their instance has joined?

Prince Siyawush built the Ark of Bukhara and was eventually buried there.

Ok, saying a fortress in Sogdia was built by Siyavash is like saying a fortress in Britain was built by Arthur or a fortress in Greece was built by Hercules—it’s what the locals say when they forgot who really built it.

You’d think there’d be a reason beyond construction requirements, though—otherwise someone in the past 1,500 years would have replaced it with a more conventional wall.
