- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 2 months ago:
Ho… Ly… Shit… This is great! The UI is a bit confusing at first but doesn’t take long to get what’s going on. I might even be disappointed with a UI revamp 😁 I can’t believe how much functionality this has. It’s already replacing some processes I have for mounting drives and backing up files. Maybe I missed something, but my only complaint would be the lack of an automatic one-way folder sync in the Party UP! app.
I’m blown away, great job!

I use Forgejo mostly for code archiving but anything that requires CI/CD, like personal code projects, i use OneDev. No extra setup for pipeline, batteries included

The best distiction i’ve heard is that social media follows people (twitter, youtube, mastodon, etc… whereas lemmy, reddit, etc… follow topics. They’re more like news feeds with a comment section.

I’m gonna deal with your ignorant ass in just one comment because i’m capable of coherent thought.
First of all, you’ve never been to a Kentucky corn field so fuck right off with that. Your deafened city ears don’t know what quiet actually is. Paris is a city. Even if people are tip-toeing around and whispering, it’s going to be louder than any rural area just by pure scale of humanity moving around. But people don’t do that, do they? No, they drag their screeching offspring to the store, or drunkenly yell at each other on the street in front of a bar, or repair a sidewalk or 5 with jackhammers and cement mixers.
Junkies? Who said anything about junkies? If you’re referring to the urine smell, look no further than the rampant liquor establishments infesting cities and fueling wall-pisses in alleys nearby.
Humans used to exclusively exist in small rural tribes, it’s cities that are an unnatural concentration of people that only began as a central place for people to come, get rid of shit they don’t need, get some shit they need and leave as fast as possible to not be mugged, kidnapped, raped, or murdered.
The food produced in rural areas? Again, that’s all you think is going on there? I work in tech and so do most of my neighbors. Get a better perspective. You’re the reason I hate cities.
I’m done here, feel free to have your last, ignorant comment. I’ll never know

Local coal plant? Is that all you think exists in rural areas? Maybe you fuckcars idiots need to do a bit more research before spouting your city-centric views all over the place. Some people just don’t want to be a sardines in you urine-smelling concrete noise factory.

This. I HATE cities. Crammed up against everyone else, smells, noises 🤮. I’m over 10 miles to the nearest grocery store and all these fuckcars weirdos will do some fucking mental gymnastics to explain a RURAL life without cars. I don’t think a single one of them has been anywhere where there is actual forest between cities/towns. They live in a city with great public transit so that must be how it is everywhere, right?
