- Comment on Milky Way is embedded in a 'large-scale sheet' of dark matter, which explains motions of nearby galaxies 10 hours ago:
It blows my mind that they were able to simulate the big bang well enough that running the simulation for a while resulted in stars in the same places as in present reality. That’s crazy.

- Comment on IMF prepares for global run on US dollar 1 day ago:
Very misleading headline.
“At the Fund, one muscle that we are building is our ability to hypothetically present scenarios of unthinkable events and then figure out what to do,” Georgieva said at an event hosted by Bruegel, a Brussels-based think-tank.
Asked whether the scenarios include a potential run on dollar assets, Georgieva said the Fund runs “all kinds of scenarios” and that it was examining the issue as part of its ongoing analysis.
- Comment on Can we make federation less dependent on domain names? 1 day ago:
Hypothetically an instance could federate an activity telling all other instances about it’s new domain name.
But once we get post, community and user migration working there will be much less need for it - everyone could just move themselves.

Ah ok.
That docker-dirs.sh script is trying to set the right permissions onto these directories:
“pgdata”, “media”, “logs”, “tmp”.
The owner of those directories needs to be the same user as the one running docker.

Nowhere in https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/INSTALL-docker.md does the word
chmodappear.When you say ‘ran the script in it’, what do you mean?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
During federation the IP address and country of the accounts involved is not shared with other instances so although you could lock down your instance as soon as you federate you’d have people from all over sending you content.

- Comment on If a Lemmy user has the same name as a community, how can I tag the community on Mastodon? 1 week ago:
In webfinger, the sidecar protocol we use to look up actors, lemmy does distinguish between community and user actors. Mastodon needs to up their game.

Article 5 still applies if the country doing the attacking is a member of NATO, right?
So Trump is basically threatening all of Europe with war.

The person who is using that character found a way around that somehow! So the next release doesn’t try to restrict it anymore.

I have built functionality into PieFed that detects AI posts and comments.
This poster is AI for sure. He’s done one or two real comments, for camouflage, but the rest are A-grade slop.
And it’s lying about it. That’s kinda creepy.

Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?
No, they’re really good about supporting old routers for as long as possible. For many years the best router to use with OpenWRT was this one from 2002 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series
