- Comment on I add two docker containers via CLI and suddenly I can't ssh into my machine or access any local container.... what happened?? 4 hours ago:
Are you trolling or is this the first time asking for help?
Imagine if someone told their car didn’t work, you asked what they did, and they said “turned the key in the ignition twice and it doesn’t start”. Would that be enough information for you?
As @just_another_person@lemmy.world said: post configs! What is your OS, what commands did you enter, what are the contents of your yml files, which containers are running, which images are you using, etc. Nobody can help you otherwise.
Add the information to the original post.
- Comment on What is wrong with the architecture of the Internet? 19 hours ago:
His point of using IPv6 as proof of ossification is partially correct. The major problem with IPv6 is that it’s friggin unreadable to developers. 1::abdc:124 and a bunch of other things just make it difficult to read and parse.
It’s probably obvious that I have not come in contact with it much, but why weren’t dots used instead of colons? IP addresses with double the length or with hexadecimal characters would’ve been OK. Unless there’s a technical reason not to do so…

But what happens to the pins Humane sold? Well, they are about to become ewaste.
Companies should be forced to pay for disposal in those cases.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
My point exactly. How do you function in life if choice is too much for you to comprehend? Maybe people just need a website called Lemmy.org that redirects them to a random approved server and that’s it. “UX” problem solved.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
If selecting a server is too much, then directing them to a random on that fits their criteria should solve the problem. Which joinlemmy, joinmastodon, joinoixelfed, and so on do.
If even that is too much, then I’m totally fine without those people as I question what kind of stuff they’ll be saying.
And this isn’t even elitist. It’s not “you have to have the ActivityPub spec memorised” or even know what ActivityPub is. It’s like “which email host should I pick”. No deeper than that.
If Facebook and Apple have eroded people’s brains to the point where such a simple question cannot be answered without freaking out, then we’re in trouble.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
What’s there to understand? Does the average person understand that reddit consists of a frontend written in a frontend framework that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JS? Do they understand that HTTPS is used to make the request between the client and server on port 443? Do they know that the request is processed by a back end connecting to postgresql and redis or memcache for faster responses? That most assets are probably delivered by a CDN?
Probably not. And why should they? They don’t need to understand how the fediverse works, nor do they have to understand how email works. All they need to do is select a server, create an account, and start interacting. Same as email.
There’s no mystery. The fediverse isn’t complicated unless you freak out and start realising that the entire internet is more complicated than the shiny, glossy thing on top of it - which doesn’t need to be understood to have simple interactions with.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
Honestly, if picking a server is too difficult, how have you survived this long? It’s literally like picking an email host. That’s the UX people are complaining about. How far have we fallen that making a choice is now a problem? “Pick what you like” leads to people going “OMG, this is terrible, I have to make my own decisions😭😭” No wonder people love AI, because they can’t think for themselves.
The only improvement would be setting a default or giving them themes to choose from which they are interested in and selecting a server for them based on that.

Some people never do 🤷 I’m just wondering what people will do once BlueSky becomes the shithole we expect it to be. Maybe by then people will see the fediverse as the next place to swarm?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Given how things are going, I bet you’re right. Maybe Musk will create a Bluesky instance (or whatever that federalized yet centralized thing is called).

- Comment on Help! DNS A Records only ones getting filtered. 1 week ago:
What is the connection between your client and server? Is it wireless and going over the router first? Does it work with a direct, wired connection between client and server?
If your connection goes over your router, does your router have a DNS server? What options do you have for DNS config on your router?
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 2 weeks ago:
Meanwhile Germany barely provides 5% of its population with fiber and probably less have access to VDSL. Romania, the Baltics and other countries are fast, but I doubt 10Gbs will be normal there even in 20 years.

Homegrown mapping solutions like… OpenStreetMap? Why are governments so concentrated on building private stuff instead of sharing the data?

The models will be available for commercial, industrial, and public services.
“OpenEuroLLM”. Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope. I bet they’ll have to use Anna’s Archive to train their AI too 🤫

Could we issue a public sector ban on proprietary software please?
- Comment on Is This How Reddit Ends? 2 weeks ago:
🙄 the majority of reddit users are followers. They will follow trends. Reddit is still hot, cool, and trendy. They won’t quit it until the next thing comes along that gets hyped up and that all of a sudden their best friends have. Reddit had an “exodus” last year (or was it two years ago?) and is still going as strong as ever. People complained about their app, but most just shrugged, downloaded it, and dealt with the new interface.

Here we go. Soon we’ll have OpenAI-competitors running on thumb-drives. Stargate investors must be tumbling right about now.
- Comment on Technology for lab-grown eggs or sperm on brink of viability, UK fertility watchdog finds 3 weeks ago:
Would lesbians be able to have boys if both gave their material? Women only have X sex chromosomes and men have both X and Y, so if I’m not mistaken two (or more) lesbians wouldn’t be able to conceive boys.

To newer, younger contributors IRC could feel ancient or cumbersome to learn.
Not only yong contributors…
Also, if they’re mulling departing from IRC, how about getting rid of mailing lists?

- Comment on Supreme Court backs TikTok ban: App set to shut down Sunday 4 weeks ago:
And nothing of value will have been lost. It’s pretty clear that people don’t care about surveillance or influence, or whatever. They just want to be popular and/or be distracted. Once Red Book bans them, sequesters them, or limits their access somehow, they’ll have to migrate again, and I bet the majority won’t pick a fediverse alternative.
- Comment on RedNote may wall off “TikTok refugees” to prevent US influence on Chinese users 5 weeks ago:
Such a popcorn moment, honestly. I wonder where they’ll go to once Red Note blocks US Americans. They might be able to go back to tick tock if the US backpedals, but if not… is pixelfed or whatever fediverse alternative exists really ready to absorb 700M accounts?
