If you like those, using cdr within zsh is amazing. It automatically keeps track of where you've been, and you can set up tab completion to show the history with a number next to each directory for easy switching.
Iirc, that was my main reason for switching to zsh a few years ago
I'm the mod for @food, and we've had a spam problem. New spam accounts are created daily, and I ban them and delete their posts daily. But, users from other instances have informed me that some of the posts are still showing on those instances, even ones that were deleted more than a week ago on kbin....
Bummer. Thanks for the link, though! I'll keep an eye on the issue.
In the meantime, do you know whether it would work for me to add a federated user as a moderator? Or, for their instance owner to allow them to moderate a federated community?
I'm not sure how the technical aspects work here. I know it's not a desirable solution, but a band-aid would be nice for the users from federated instances.
As far as I know, I'm the only mod at the moment. I think the kbin admin would be the only person you could go to if I'm not doing my job, but hopefully that won't be necessary, because I'm trying to continue deleting the spam.
Current situation:
I check at least once a day (and usually more often) for spam, and I permaban the accounts and delete the posts. But, the spammers are just creating new accounts, so there are always posts that are up for a bit before I remove them
Possible technical issues:
You should not see any of the spam posts at the moment. From what I'm seeing, I've deleted them all. Maybe this is an issue with federation. How many spam links are you currently seeing?
I have not seen any reports from any users so far. Again, perhaps a federation thing.
Future:
I'm happy to add another mod if someone wants to do it. Removing the posts every day is tedious. If someone knows a sensible way of automating the process so the posts are removed faster, all the better.
If there are spam issues for users from other instances but not for kbin users, I can try posting on another meta-type magazine/community for advice. I don't know enough to fix an issue like that at the moment.
From the kbinMeta thread: this is a known issue with the kbin codebase. Moderation does not always federate correctly. Unfortunately, it appears there is likely nothing I can do about it until that issue is resolved. Sorry!
You could replace "car accident" with pretty much any non-smoking-related cause of death, but car accident is one of the most likely (in the USA) and sounded the weirdest when it occurred to me.
Normally, you would use parens to make sure you don't mess with your state, but each line of a recipe in GNU Make is effectively run in its own environment anyway.
I've seen it a few places now, so just wondering whether it is simply stylistic preference or if there is some effect I'm missing.
EDIT: Okay, did find one case where it could matter, although it doesn't apply in SuiteSparse. If you use the .ONESHELL special target, then all lines of your recipes run in a single shell, rather than each getting their own shell. In that case, if you wanted to get back something like the original new-shell-per-line behavior, you could wrap lines in parens as described above. TIL.

what’s up with the users posting Amazon links?
This is the third day I’ve seen this. I can’t report from my app, but I did before when I saw it. Are mods active?
