- Comment on Static site generator for an idiot who doesn't want to learn a new templating language just to have a blog? 3 weeks ago:
Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.
- Comment on Static site generator for an idiot who doesn't want to learn a new templating language just to have a blog? 3 weeks ago:
What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.
I’ve found success running with
.webcwhich is effectively HTML until you need it to be more. - Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on So…. What’s the worst idea you went through with? 1 month ago:
I made a few jugs of apple wine by pitching gallons of apple cider in the end table under my TV, (plastic) bottle conditioning and forgetting about them for a while.
Huge alcohol content, decent taste, nightmarish poops.
You win.

Ah fuck! I mistook the piefed docs for the pixelfed docs.

No, the utility is to remove bad users.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
mods are just as capable of manipulation and targeted harassment when they can curate the voting and react based on votes
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
I’m speaking as an admin, not as a mod. I own the servers. I have direct access to the databases. When law enforcement comes a’knockin’, it’s my ass that gets arrested. I have total control over my instances and can completely sever them from the fediverse if I feel it necessary. Mods are mall cops that can lock posts and deal with problem users one at a time.
On reddit, votes are only visible to the admins, and the admins would take care of this type of thing when they saw it (or it tripped some kind of automated something or other)
There are no built in automations. Decoupling votes from the users that cast them interferes with my ability to “take care of this type of thing.”
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
Wow your documentation is so much better than ours.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
PieFed tracks the percentage of downvotes vs upvotes (calling it “Attitude” in the code and admin UI)
That’s cool. I wonder what my attitude is and I wonder how accurate the score is, if our federations don’t overlap super well. What happens if I have a ton of interactions on an instance that yours is completely unaware of?
(I think “Attitude” is a perfect word, because it’s perceptive. Like, “you say they’re great but all I see them do is get drunk and complain about how every Pokemon after Mewtwo isn’t ‘legit’,” sort of thing.)
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
Well, doesn’t that fly in the face of federated autonomy and privacy?
On one end, if it’s my instance and I want to ban a user, I want the whole fucking user banned – not just remove their ability to vote anonymously. If one of my communities or users is being attacked, it’s my responsibility to react. If I can’t remove the whole problem with a ban, then I have to remove the whole problem with a de-federation. (A thing I fundamentally don’t want to do.)
On the other, if some other admin says, “one of your users is being problematic, please tell me who they are,” I’m going to tell that other admin to fuck right off because I just implemented a feature that made their votes anonymous. I’m not about to out my users to some rando because they’re raining downvotes on MeinHitler69@nazi.hut.
It’s a philosophical difference of opinion.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
What about PieFed-based shitty humans?
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
It actually adds a tool for harassers, in that targeted harassment can’t be tied back to a harasser without the cooperation of their instance admin.
In reality, I think a better answer might be to anonymize the username and publicize the votes.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
If the same account is voting in the same direction on every single post and comment in an entire community in a matter of seconds while contributing neither posts nor comments? Yes, vote manipulation.
If one user is following another around, down voting their content across a wide range of topics? Yes, targeted harassment.
- Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed 2 months ago:
Hey, Lemmy admin here. If I ban an anonymous account, does the account it’s tethered to also get banned?
- Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Recruits A New Cadet 3 months ago:
From an interview I read, but can’t remember the source:
Alex Kurtzman: [Paul Giamatti] was doing press for The Holdovers, and when he was asked about the part that he would most want to play, he said, “I want to play a Klingon on Star Trek.”… So we called his agent and said, “Was that a thing he just said, was that a bit?”… And she called back and she said, “He’d love to sit down with you. We got on a Zoom with him and he cried.
[…]
Noga Landau: He also chose which role he wanted to play. We came to him and we said, “You could be this guy or that guy, or that guy.” And he thought about it and he came back and told us that the part he plays is the one he wanted.
Alex Kurtzman: We thought it was going to be like one episode because his schedule is so busy, and he was like, “No, I want to play the villain.” We’re like, “That’s the whole season.” He was like, “Great, let’s do it!”
Like… no one’s stopping you from being a Klingon on Star Trek, Paul Giamatti.

- Comment on Monolithic setup vs dedicated devices 4 months ago:
Use containers. Start with one device. Check your utilization after you’re sure you’ve hit min and max for each of your services, then figure out if your single device can handle all your services gunning at once. If not, take your biggest service and migrate it to its own device.
Eventually, you might find yourself googling “Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm.” When you do that, take a deep breath and decide if upgrading one device is easier than trying to horizontally scaling many.
