  Not that I’m aware of. The Lemmy APIs provide access to that data but I don’t know of any existing tool that uses it for the purpose of exporting posts or comments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All your old stuff will stay visible even after lemm.ee goes down, but it won’t be linked with whatever new user you create on another instance.

  If export and import of posts and comments was possible it would result in “duplicating” your posts and comments to your new account, which as you might imagine would be an absolute mess, so you can presumably understand why it isn’t.

  Wireguard doesn’t necessarily need to have those limitations, but it will depend in part how your VPN profile is set up.

  If you configured your wireguard profile to always route all traffic over the VPN then yeah, you won’t be able to access local networks. And maybe that’s what you want, in which case fine :)

  But you can also set the profile to only route traffic that is destined for an address on the target network (I.e your home network) and the rest will route as normal.

  This second type of routing only works properly however when there are no address conflicts between the network you are on (i.e. someone else’s WiFi) and your home network.

  For this reason if you want to do this it’s best to avoid on your own home network the common ranges almost everyone uses as default, i.e. 192.168.0.* and 10.0.0.*

  I reconfigured my home network to 192.168.22.* for that reason and now I never hit conflicts and VPN can stay on all the time but only traversed when needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you think freewill truly exists?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tough one. I’d probably end up being the person who just kept politely listening while trying to shut down the conversation amicably like “well anyway” and “I must get cooking dinner now” and “my plants need moisturising” or something.

  Neighbours are extremely high on the list of people I want to avoid pissing off, because a neighbour with a grudge against you could be an absolute nightmare (especially when you live in a townhouse and share walls)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life hack⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “The squeaky wheel gets the grease” is an adage that is unfortunately true, and I find it absolutely infuriating.

  I would much prefer that we can all be polite and courteous to each other, so when being polite fails but having a screaming tantrum gets results it really makes me annoyed at the unfairness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even the latest Andor is true to that formula.

  In one part, two characters are communicating over “radio” voice comms using code speak - presumably in case there are any Empire operatives listening in. And prior to that they kept missing each other because they weren’t at their radios at the same time.

  So you’ve got hyperspace travel and laser guns, but no data encryption. Alright then.

  Except of course, they do have encryption when the plot calls for it, and that’s another reason to consider or fantasy. In most sci-fi the rules stay pretty consistent, but in fantasy it’s more flexible.

  The way 2. is written is basically a death sentence.

  What they presumably meant is “never exceed your ideal weight no matter how much you eat”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨they come⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We simply didn’t need those things. Cold winters were more of an issue than hot summers, so our homes historically have been built with brick or stone construction that holds the warmth.

  When it is hot for just a few days in a row, that same construction actually helps stay cool, because even if it’s hot outside the heat takes a long time to penetrate, and inside stays nice and cool.

  But now that climate is changing and we’re seeing summers with a couple of weeks of intensely hot weather in a row with temperatures higher than ever, that same construction actually becomes a problem. Because now the stone and brick become completely saturated with heat, and even at night when it’s cooler outside the brick is staying hot abd radiating that heat. It’s basically like living in a pizza oven.

  The past few years it’s been like that maybe only a couple weeks of the year, but nonetheless air conditioners are starting to become more popular.

  For insect screens, same deal - we just never usually have a problematic amount of insects. Which is why when we do have a lot of insects it’s in the news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This - get the no-brand replacement heads. No way would I spend the prices Oral-B are asking.

  Sometimes the big brands can end up as better device purchases, since despite being more expensive upfront, there are plenty of cheap third-party consumables available.

  Something nonconductive seems the safest choice, so you can’t accidentally short anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently swapped my Dad’s Windows computer with my old one, which I installed Linux on ahead of time.

  I told him it was a much faster machine - which it was just slightly in the hardware sense, a very minor upgrade. A half-truth to encourage the transition.

  But of course, it’s running Linux, not Windows.

  There were some pain points getting him set up and moving all his files over, but I said just give it a go and see how you feel.

  Next day he phones me up really happy that it’s “so much faster than the old machine!”

  And it really is a lot faster, but it’s not the hardware. It’s just not getting bogged down with all the crap Windows constantly does in the background.

  Either way, mission accomplished.

  Dithering is still to this day extremely useful for making custom wall art in Minecraft using maps, because maps have a very specific and limited pallette.

  And websites would have a link to a page and say “Warning! This page contains a lot of pictures!” so you wouldn’t click it unless you were prepared to put your other browsing on hold for a little while

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll probably have a long time to wait.

  The Switch 1 was only able to run homebrew due to a hardware exploit in the CPU which allowed injection of arbitrary code. The interesting thing about that vulnerability being that since it was a hardware vulnerability, it couldn’t be patched out even after it was discovered.

  Following that incident, I’m sure Nintendo has been working especially hard to ensure there are no similar vulnerabilities existing on the Switch 2.

  That said, console hackers are an amazingly creative and talented bunch, so I wouldn’t be surprised by anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes for electronic devices that expect low voltage DC and have a converter, like laptops, phone chargers, etc.

  But don’t try and take a 120V hairdryer on holiday and plug it in because it will certainly blow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft would absolutely love it if people had zero computer literacy and had to ask an AI for help to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.

  Because then the AI becomes indispensable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse.com is available for sale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea there should be some definitive, canonical domain for the Fediverse is completely at odds with the core tenents of the Fediverse itself - decentralisation, and no single point of ownership or control. And on that basis, we absolutely should not care about a particular domain, or assign any level of ‘specialness’ to it.

  I understand your worry - that some ‘bad actor’ could buy the domain and do something anti-Fediverse with it, but my response would be to simply not care. The strength of the Fediverse is that we are diverse and unbothered by whatever nonsense some centralised platform is trying to pull. We don’t have a profit motive. We don’t care.

  People who want to find the real Fediverse will find us, all on their own, regardless of who some random domain belongs to :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"CITY THE ANIMATION" New Key Visual⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Random thought: I’d love to analyse a bunch of anime and get a count of how often schools are shown as being on a hill or high ground.

  I get the feeling from my memory like 90% of the time when a school commute is shown it’s always on a hill with the students arduously cycling or pushing their bikes in the morning, and then happily freewheeling all the way home.

  I’d love to know

  A) is my memory actually correct

  B) if my memory actually is correct, is this an a media trope only (as in, a visual metaphor for the morning journey being unpeasant while the time after school is freeing and relished) or are Japanese schools actually on hills a lot of the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop Convection Oven*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use my air fryer a lot, despite having a fan oven also.

  Because the fan circulation is more powerful than in a typical oven, air fryers are really good at is crisping things up, and doing it quickly.

  If you ever get take-out and have left over fries, you can put them in the air fryer and they go from fridge-limp to deliciously crisp in just 3 minutes, it resurrects them perfectly. Can’t get results like that in the big oven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam will soon list what accessibility features games support on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like this a lot.

  I don’t have any physical accessibility needs (unless you count my low skill level, git gud scrub) but accessibility options are something I really appreciate seeing in games.

  I love being able to adjuat how I experience the game to match my needs, and making this visible and searchable on the store is only going to encourage more games to include good accessibility features :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember reading a story a while back about someone who owned a legit CS version with a proper serial and activation.

  They had to change computer, and in doing so had to reactivate Photoshop, but it wasn’t working. They contacted Adobe support and explained the situation but support basically told him nope, not a chance, we aren’t helping you. You need to subscribe to new Photoshop.

  So Adobe accepted that yes, he bought a perpetual licence for Photoshop and that yes, the reason it isn’t working is the online activation, but they still refused to help.

  Scumbags.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting A Cluster On Old Phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty common and especially so on devices that don’t have batteries which are intended to be user-removable - which is pretty much all new phones.

  Unlike laptops, many phones simply won’t turn on without a battery connected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they changed this in the way you describe, I wouldn’t even personally consider it retcon.

  To me, “retconning” is changing some point which is kinda substantiative so that it disagrees with what was presented before. “This thing we said happened? Well it didn’t.”

  If, as you suggest, they kept the idea of making the Mojave hospitable and pleasant but changed this so it’s more respectful of the existing ecosystem, then to me that’s not a retcon, it’s more like updating the existing concept to be better in line with the ideals of a contemporary audience. A refresh, if you will.

  So I’d be totally fine with that :)
