MarsAgainstVenus, to asklemmy in If you were tasked with putting together a message to send to space aliens, with the only restriction that the message had to be under 4GB, what would you send?

Can you tell me a little more about these? What is the “demo scene,” how were they made, and why were they made?

That used to work near me but I guess the advertisers all complained enough to have that button disabled.

I got it back up! I was able to reset the database user’s password.

I had no idea that’s what it was for. I hadn’t added mine for fear of spam but this makes way more sense now.

Yeah, I completely agree. I loved the vertical tabs and I’ve almost gone back several times. I hope Mozilla is working on those two and sleeping tabs.

MarsAgainstVenus, to asklemmy in What are some of the best things to bring on a long road trip?
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

I used to do a lot of cross country driving. Here are my recommendations:

AAA membership if you don’t feel comfortable changing your own tires, a good lug nut wrench and bottle jack if you can do it. There’s a lot of areas where you’re “in the middle of nowhere” and it can take some time for any support to get to you. Make sure your spare has air. Audiobooks, podcasts, and playlists downloaded. There may be long stretches of no service. If you can download the Google Map or Apple Map for your trip, it’s not a bad idea. Non-messy snacks, gum, and a small cooler of drinks if you want to save money. Gas station food/ drinks add up. There are a few apps to check rest areas/ bathroom recommendations. I liked Trucker’s Path but it’s been a while since I’ve travelled like that so there may be others/ better ones. Get a dash cam before you go. There’s a lot of idiots out there. And the more you’re on the road, the more likely something could happen. Plan a little time to make some extra stops if you can. There’s a lot of neat stuff you can do on your way that you won’t know about until you see signs for them. Or check Google Maps for places to stop on your route. Get out and stretch your legs somewhere fun. And when you start to get hungry, look for good local spots to stop and eat. There are TONS of options that are so much better than the chain restaurants. Look for 4-5 star places in the area on Google Maps.

MarsAgainstVenus, to news in Hackers force hospital system to take its national computer system offline
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

Not saying these hackers are good in the least. But the sheer lack of basic security in a lot of hospitals and health services is enough to piss you off. Maybe THIS incident will encourage them to make some improvements.

MarsAgainstVenus, to fediverse in PSA for Lemmy instance admins: in backend v0.18.3 there is a bug that causes your instance to stop federating properly and to stop sending out outgoing messages
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

If you used Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, the docker name is lemmy-easy-deploy-postgres-1

docker exec -it lemmy-easy-deploy-postgres-1 busybox /bin/sh

MarsAgainstVenus, to fediverse in Lemmy is slowly getting better
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

I completely agree. I’ve been hopping on in the morning and in the evening and I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything and I still feel like I’m contributing. The total opposite of how it was with Reddit.

MarsAgainstVenus, to fediverse in Advice for now settled new Lemmy users.
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

I bought the domain through Cloudflare and when setting the CNAME and A records it automatically proxied them so I didn’t even think about it at the time.

@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

Honestly, I don’t even know. It was in the advanced settings on Lemmy-Easy-Deploy and I missed it and spent like 2 hours troubleshooting until I saw that, lol.

.win is a $3 domains on Cloudflare and shouldn’t have issues of being revoked (like .ml is going through and others could potentially face).

MarsAgainstVenus, to fediverse in Advice for now settled new Lemmy users.
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

My steps were:

  1. Sign up for free Google cloud VM instance
  2. Buy a $3 domain name from Cloudflare
  3. Install with Lemmy-Easy-Deploy
  4. Change Cloudflare to “Strict”
  5. Log in
MarsAgainstVenus, to reddit in Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

Same username on reddit. Just over 10 years myself on that account plus another 2 or 3 with a prior account. Really enjoying Lemmy and like everyone has said already, it honestly does feel like reddit from 10 years ago. I had stopped using reddit much at all but I’m on Lemmy nearly every day like I used to be with reddit years ago.

MarsAgainstVenus, to selfhosted in what is everyone using for photos?
@MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win avatar

The logo plus every screenshot on iOS uses that same font. There’s not much else to it. It’s simply an ugly font.
