- Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive? 2 days ago:
I did not, but of course you can. Either by using an adapter (maybe a printable one?), or – if it is an SSD – by just placing the drive there and hld it in place with one screw.
If there already is a drive installed you want to removed and there is no spare cover, you can also print one.
(You can of course buy the parts instead of printing them. Those adapters and covers are fully standardized and widely available.)
- Comment on CD Projekt exec says "the right thing to do" is release a real Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge for Cyberpunk 2077, not a game-key card, in message to other studios: "Do not underestimate the physical edit 1 week ago:
Digital for things you consume. Physical for things you love.
- Comment on Microsoft kills Windows Maps app 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft had a maps app?
- Comment on An issue 2 weeks ago:
You can create communities only on your own instance. For you that would be this link.
Do you get any error messages?
- Comment on Privacy — why should I care 1 month ago:
Ask them if they can give you their phone so you can check on what they’re doing online and on their phone right now. Because, why would they trust a large company more than a good friend?
- Comment on Privacy — why should I care 1 month ago:
“So, you leave your door open because locking it is useless because someone can break in?“
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 2 months ago:
Always has been like that.
Not one single corporation is your friend or wants to be. All they want is your money. No exceptions.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 2 months ago:
Except those who aren’t.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 2 months ago:
Can’t watch right now, but is there a list of affected devices?
- Comment on conflicted about my coworkers' overpunctuality 2 months ago:
It’s daily 5 minutes, but it sums up to an hour every 3 weeks (assuming a 5 days work week).
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 2 months ago:
They do it since quite some time now, right?
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 2 months ago:
Just because the evidence is not to your liking it doesn’t mean there is not any evidence.
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 2 months ago:
Studies on whether dark mode and other blue light filtering solutions work to mitigate blue light exposure are inconclusive. However, it seems dark mode is more likely to affect sleep rhythm than eye strain.
- Comment on Small study suggests dark mode doesn’t save much power for very human reasons 2 months ago:
Except it doesn’t.
- Comment on Amazon shuts down Chime, its Zoom alternative 2 months ago:
I have two questions … Zoom is still a thing? Amazon had a Zoom alternative?

- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 2 months ago:
but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.
NPM is pretty agnostic. If it receives a request for a specific address and port combination it just forwards the traffic to another specific address and port combination. This can be a docker container, but also can be a physical machine or any random URL.
It also has Let’s Encrypt included (but that should be a no-brainer).
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 2 months ago:
I run my website as static site from within a Docker container, I wonder how I would get the information about the other containers into that site.
Do you directly serve that site from the host or do you run the script and write something in a volume the site has read access to or bind a file?
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 2 months ago:
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Because I don’t like software getting in my way I just cobbled together some HTML and CSS and call it a day.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 2 months ago:
Usually you just see LibreOffice and nothing else, so it’s fine, I guess. Not a web-based editor, but usable.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 2 months ago:
Ah, I see. Not as native web application, though.
They’re using Alpine Linux, install X and Openbox and Xvnc and serve KasmVNC via Nginx and connect via KasmVNC to that X instance. LibreOffice is started in fullscreen and looks like a slightly blurry web application.
But in reality it is just a regular desktop installation with some extra things.
@fikran@lemm.ee, maybe this is a solution? I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s not really a web-based document editor.
- Comment on Web-based Document Editor? 2 months ago:
So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?
- Comment on Google Maps will rename Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America in the U.S.. However, users in Mexico will see “Gulf of Mexico,” and the rest of its 1 billion monthly users will see both names. 3 months ago:
So, they discovered the concept of local names.
- Comment on After 18 years, Blu-ray media production draws to a close — Sony shuts its last factory in Feb 3 months ago:
this doesn’t affect Blu-ray movies.
Yet.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says Meta will lay off more ‘low-performers’ 3 months ago:
Lay off a minimum of 50% and then go the same route als this other billionaire’s social media platform.
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table 5 months ago:
Venture capital and crypto money do not last forever and they need to maintain and run a for-profit corporation.
The question is not IF they will sell some soft of “pro accounts” and have advertising, the question is only WHEN they will have it. My guess is before Q3/2025.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 6 months ago:
losing all your comments and posts history
They are not lost, they are still there
Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.
Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging
That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 6 months ago:
Except the things I mentioned.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 6 months ago:
Migrating or moving an account is not part of ActivityPub. Mastodon extended the protocol to have a
moveactivity.Unless Lemmy devs come up with something similar and extend the protocol, there is no way to properly move/migrate the account to another instance. The current solution is to create a new account on your desired instance and then export the data on your old instance and import it on your new instance and leave a note in your bio for old instance/account[^1]
Start here for details on this. According to the devs this would be nice to have but is of very low priority.
[^1]: ignoring the fact that you need to re-subscruibe to communities with manual approval and losing all your comments and posts history as well as all private messaging history and contacts.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 6 months ago:
Yeah. While I can dockerize those applications, all I checked out lack modern features and concepts/designs. It all feels heavily outdated technology-wise.
