Imagine how it looks from the person sitting in front of them. It’s perfect.
- Comment on Are there any apps/instances that default to local only and you have to opt-in to federated instances? 2 weeks ago:
Can’t you just make the Local feed your default?
Personally I just subscribe to everything I want to see and browse that.

Click on your profile in the upper right corner and then on the ⚙️ symbol. Or go to the profile settings on the website of your Lemmy instance.

Damn, you really managed to sit on this goldmine of a username for over two years!
- Comment on AFFORDABLE selfhosted nocode relational databases? (à la Baserow/NocoDB, etc.) 2 weeks ago:
That’s the way it goes with the scale from simple to “something that fits our needs”. Either something is too simple or it is so complex that you can’t let your more challenged users at it. So you end up rolling your own solution.
That’s how many companies end up with monstrous Excel or Access applications.
The upside of having your own app that uses common open source components is that integration with other tools is easier later down the line. Make it web based and it can run on basically every computer on the planet. Use PostgreSQL or MySQL in the backend and you can easily add other frontends if needed.

Funny how Baldur’s Gate 3 managed to do the same thing without any additional payment.

Aren’t all the archive services used as huge botnets? Except for archive.org of course.
- Comment on The 3DFX Voodoo Lives Again In An FPGA 2 weeks ago:
I had a Voodoo 2. I was salty at my parents that they got the 8 MB version instead of 12 MB. But I couldn’t formulate my frustration because I didn’t quite get the difference between system and graphics memory yet.
Still it was amazing how fast everything was. I spent hours just switching weapons in Jedi Knight. And Unreal was just drop dead gorgeous in Glide. No comparison to Direct3D or OpenGL.
And it included a demo of a rotating donut with bump mapping which would be toutet as this amazing new graphics feature decades later.

- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the game now, doesn’t it? I did 100 % of all content on Spider-Man. For some reason I didn’t finish Spider-Man: Miles Morales and I didn’t even start Spider-Man 2.
Hmm, maybe I should at least try Spider-Man 2. But I’d have to finish Miles Morales first to get the full story. Spider-Man 1 was so good, maybe I’ll play that again. Spider-Man
What were we talking about?
- Comment on Before I get a job, I'm experimenting with a free VPS - Will it work? help? 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Oracle still giving out free servers? They are known to pull the plug on those without warning, but it should be enough to play around with and set it up in a way that you can get it running again quickly if it goes down, which is very valuable knowledge.
- Comment on Can't wait for my demonologist's advice. 2 weeks ago:
Demonoligists and dermatologists agree: Just let thousands of ants run around on you. They will eat all the bad skin. You definitely won’t regret having thousands of ants run all over you.
- Comment on is black myth wokong a good game? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a free benchmark version of the game available on Steam. So you can test yourself whether it will run smoothly enough.
- Comment on Dang it, know I need new hardware 3 weeks ago:
Stupid journalists. Making shit up before the game is even released.
- Comment on Anyone have the "resist fascism by making mistakes" copypasta? I can't find it because the internet sucks 3 weeks ago:
Wasn’t that written by the CIA? Maybe that’ll help you narrow it down. I think it’s some “CIA manual on…” document.

In Germany we call bland white bread “toast bread” because it can only taste good when toasted.

I wonder if she could keep the “tradition” alive in Germany. It has strict rules about what names you can give your child. But names that fit your heritage and culture are usually allowed.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 4 weeks ago:
Thanks, that actually makes the German way sound more sane and more manageable.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 4 weeks ago:
Ugh, not Germany. Try the Netherlands. In Germany it is a huge bureaucratic undertaking to put energy back into the grid. In the Netherlands (as far as I know) your meter just runs backwards and at the end of the year you just pay the difference or nothing if it’s lower than the year before.
In Germany your electricity provider pays you for what you put back into the grid. But not as much as pulling out is worth. That’s why almost all solar solutions in Germany are either small or need a battery because using the energy yourself is worth more than sharing it with everyone.

Off topic, but your text lines up so perfectly on my phone that I suspected you were making the line breaks manually.

Guess Linus was right again to only use ECC RAM.
- Comment on Someone should register Lemmy.Worlf, and use it as a URL redirect for Lemmy.World. 5 weeks ago:
That was extensively done, especially in the. beginning of the internet. Scammers would register typo domains and plaster them full of ads. It’s still. being done today, but with basically everyone using Google as the address bar it’s probably less effective.
