I dont know about you, but our rice cooker seems quite high tech. It can even talk!

You can always use a knife instead.

It was always normalized, but recently there seems to be more backlash from maintainers.

We only do major versions around once a year so those could still be named, while using numbers for minor versions. Lemmy is more user-facing than react, so it would make sense to have a more user-friendly versioning.

500 Mb symmetrical. It’s more than enough even while running a home server.

Admins and mods can see this in the latest version.

This is already possible.

Feel free to make open an issue to improve instance blocking. Or better yet a pull request. We are only a few devs with limited time, and hundreds of issues to work on.

I bet a year ago you would have said the exact same things about Lemmy, and yet here you are.

There are plenty of Wikipedia articles which are not objective, particularly when it comes to politics or history. Of course federation means there would be many different wikis. That makes sense, for example different countries should have their own independent wikis, instead of using one controlled by a different nation.

It sounds like you didn’t read the article at all, because it clearly explains how Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales himself is involved in many such cases of corruption and manipulation. The code is not the problem, but the fact that a single organization has full control over the site and can decide which contributions get accepted or rejected.

Wikipedia has very major problems, but almost nobody is aware of them. Give this article a read to get an idea.

Yes I saw this before. However the structure is quite confusing and not at all like Wikipedia. From what I can tell it also doesnt federate that well.

You will have to wait for 0.19 to disable it. Pictrs 0.5 will also add a way to clear old images. See the issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4053

The activities table is cleared out automatically every week, items older than 3 months are deleted. During the update only a smaller number of rows was migrated so the db temporarily was slower. You can manually clear older items in sent_activity and received_activity to free more space.

Actually Im wrong about images, turns out that all remote images are mirrored locally in order to generate thumbnails. 0.19 will have an option to disable that. This could use more improvements, the whole image handling is rather confusing now.

Yes there is automatic removal so if you have enough disk space, no need to worry about it.

The pictrs storage only consists of uploads from local users, and thumbnails for both local and remote posts. Thumbnails for remote posts could theoretically be wiped and loaded from the other instance, but they shouldnt take much space anyway.

I’ve changed the screen of a thinkpad from 720p to 1080p. Was cheaper to buy that way, and it was really easy to do.

There is a postgres command to show the size of each table. Most likely it is from activity tables which can be cleared out to save space.

Votes federate with standard Like and Dislike activities which are part of Activitypub. It’s just that some platforms like Mastodon can’t handle Dislikes.

No one lives forever. Though the originals are still very much playable, only the graphics are outdated.
