- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and/or doing a similar thing in lua as an nvim plugin
That said I’m not sure if neovim would support something like that
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
My plan is not to have multiple files at all, or at least if there is a second one have it be temporary
The problem with the approach of having an intermediary format is I need to create the intermediate format, and given yaml starts for yet another markup language that doesn’t seem like a good idea (also a ton of effort to reinvent the wheel)
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
Can usually tell when it’s obviously bullshitting me and verify it if it’s not. You can often get it to correct itself if you call it out
(This was the first time I’ve seen it incorrectly “corrected” itsself)
I think I did a quick search but it seemed so strange to me I just wrote it off straight away
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
What kind of problems? I’m unfamiliar with anchors in yaml
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
Not a terrible idea to add bits into the JSON but it makes it much harder to program, going for a quick and easy fix here rather than writing my own parser
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
Seriously? Chatgpt told me that once and I thought it was just hallucinating
Problem is it’s for configuration of other services I didn’t write, I would just use JSON in the first place if I were defining the schema
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
Comments are an issue I’d have to think about. Would prebuilt libraries for importing/exporting data from/to these languages not handle the multiline strings for me?
What do anchors do in yaml I’ve never heard of them before
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
I’m using neovim. It doesn’t magically solve my problems with yaml though
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
No, I was thinking of actual JSON because it makes it easier to write a plugin (just use built in libraries to import and export configurations)
- Comment on Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window 2 months ago:
I use nvim for it, it works but I’d rather not have to deal with indentation in the first place

Use an instance that doesn’t censor words

True. That definitely can’t stop it influencing people’s decisions at least in the short term
I’d still like to think in the long term younger generations are less racist and would replace older ones stuck in their ways that currently hold all the power
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
I can’t say I do understand it as a social strategy, I would hazard a guess it’s something like “if we make this group enemy #1, we can get lots of people rallied behind us and they won’t pay attention to the horrible things we do”?
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
Racism has dramatically reduced in recent years, used to be people would make racist comments in casual conversation and nobody would care
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
Which is why Lemmy is a good system but I think that system is rather fragile because instances like lemmy.world could get the majority of the users, be absolute saints for a while so everyone gets comfortable and then influence the rest of the instances with threats of defederating
I guess considering there’s no monetary gain from having more users that doesn’t really work as well but still
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
This is a good point, less people that know about the echo chamber the less they recruit which I guess keeps them isolated but they will always find ways to attract more of their own
I appreciate you being one of few people who doesn’t immediately jump to hurling insults
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
I think the solution is force them to integrate with society and not give them the opportunity to have an echo chamber which may well mean in this case defederating as you can’t do anything about them
Also yeah fuck the us prison system I never once claimed the US government were not also fucked.
Can’t actually find any other questions in your wall of text there to answer the rest is just personally attacking me
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
If you read my responses to more civil users you’ll get any answers you want
I suspect you don’t want answers you just want a witch hunt though

Furries, lot of people don’t like them but also don’t think they should be globally silenced unless they are actual zoophiles
People using words other people don’t like that aren’t necessarily used in a hateful way, some people don’t want to see that some don’t care.
Was on a gmod server before that had a total free speech rule where people would say horrendous shit to be edgy but one day they banned one slur for one group of people specifically which felt kinda weird
Hexbears. A lot of people call for you guys to get defederated, but have seen a few hexbears be genuinely nice and helpful. I’m sure you can see my point with that one

If you concentrate them all into one place they reinforce their own views and don’t get told to stfu by others on the internet, the problem is this way they don’t get silenced, just hidden
Reeducation programs sound very dystopian to me
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
I’m not lol just wanted to have a conversation about the topic because the “free speech except these people” viewpoint requires some objective point of reference for what’s acceptable.
It’s fairly obvious to 99% of people when it’s things like Nazis and pedos but it’s not always as clearcut with more controversial topics
Lemmy instances having their own rules and defederating from those they don’t like seems like the best solution provided there are enough of them that users can jump ship if they don’t like the way they’re run
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
I am infact quite happy to have as few Nazis and pedos in my corner of the internet as possible, just think it’s inevitable they’re going to be somewhere with the nature of self hosted platforms like lemmy
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
True there are a lot of stupid people out there but if I were to say something horrifically racist in pretty much any company I can be fairly confident I would be told exactly where to shove it though
- Comment on Can we defederate from rdq2.net? 8 months ago:
The problem is who gets to decide what’s acceptable and what isn’t? It’s fine IRL because if you say something horrible you get shunned but online you can always find people who agree with you and those people will always make their own echo chambers and isolate themselves
Only way on such a large scale is moderation but that’s a never ending battle and requires a small group of people or single person deciding what’s acceptable
- Comment on What are the best customizable routers nowadays? 10 months ago:
So the pi takes over dchp and assigns itsself as a DNS server? I assume if I want to assign static IPs I have to do it through the pi from then on?
Can’t use pihole because I’m running NixOS on my pi and the only way to run it is via docker container (which melts down my system, believe it’s trying to emulate x86 for some reason)
- Comment on What are the best customizable routers nowadays? 10 months ago:
That might be the way to do it. I’m somewhat unfamiliar with networking, what does DHCP do?
- Comment on What are the best customizable routers nowadays? 10 months ago:
I’m guessing I would need to get a modem too then, no? I’ve got the BT router that takes the DSL connection directly currently
