If I have several backends that more or less depend on each other anyway (for example: Lemmy + pict-rs), then I will create separate databases for them within a single postgres - reason being, if something bad happens to the database for one of them, then it affects the other one as well anyway, so there isn’t much to gain from isolating the databases.

Conversely, for completely unrelated services, I will always set up separate postgres instances, for full isolation.

They specifically called it “child abuse content”, not “child abuse”. This seems perfectly valid, no?

By the way, just because these are digital renderings does not mean that there is no harm. Seeing such content can still be harmful to past victims. Just try to put yourself in this situation: imagine just playing some video game online, and suddenly being exposed to people recreating traumatic experiences from your past. Not only that - you also discover that the creators of the video game are involved & actively enabling such content. Seems completely messed up to me.

I think the OP is talking about Lemmy having both a content preview and a text area for link posts.

Some users tend to write their own summary in the text area, so when opening up a post, the result will be:

• Large title written by the OP
• Automatic preview of the page, generated by Lemmy
• Text summary of the page, written by the OP

I agree that this is a bit clunky in terms of UX

Honestly… it’s not great. I would not recommend it unless you’re playing with somebody who is not put off by constant bugs and general jank.

In terms of bugs, I’ve had several occasions where one player can no longer open the map - it just starts opening the quest log instead of the map. I’ve also had a few occasions of the screen just going completely white. Also, I’ve had a player just become locked in a dialogue with no way of exiting.

For an example of jankiness, one key aspect of the whole game, dialogues, is just completely awful:

1. Both players can begin separate dialogues at the same time, one just gets muted
2. It’s impossible to automatically begin a dialogue with two players, one player has to start it, and the other has to “listen” to it as an additional step
3. It’s impossible to switch control of dialogues during a dialogue. This is constantly an issue, because sometimes, dialogues are triggered when you walk past some invisible checkpoint. Basically you’re forced to always have your high charisma player to walk in front and hope they end up triggering all the dialogues.
4. It’s impossible to contribute to dialogues in any way as the “listening” player. Even if you have some aspect to your character that might provide an interesting line, you are just locked out.
5. If both players speak to a character in succession, the exact same dialogue gets repeated. It’s jarring and completely breaks immersion.

There’s more, but I’m kind of getting more and more annoyed at the game as I write this, so I think I will just stop here, you probably get the picture 😅

I think the co-op is a complete afterthought in this game, and I will probably be replaying it in single player for a hopefully better experience at some point.

As a test, I ran this on a very early backup of lemm.ee images from when we had very little federation and very little uploads, and unfortunately it is finding a whole bunch of false positives. Just some examples it flagged as CSAM:

• Calvin and Hobbes comic
• The default Lemmy logo
• Some random user’s avatar, which is just a digital drawing of a person’s face
• a Pikachu image

Do you think the parameters of the script should be tuned? I’m happy to test it further on my backup, as I am reasonably certain that it doesn’t contain any actual CSAM

Any thoughts about using this as a middleware between nginx and Lemmy for all image uploads?

Edit: I guess that wouldn’t work for external images - unless it also ran for all outgoing requests from pict-rs… I think the easiest way to integrate this with pict-rs would be through some upstream changes that would allow pict-rs itself to call this code on every image.

This approach makes so much sense from a business perspective.

How many here have this experience: out of my entire friend group that I grew up playing video games with, I can’t think of a single person who kept pirating games after acquiring disposable income, even though we all exclusively played pirated games as teenagers. Without piracy, none of us would have had access to any games, and very likely none of us would still be into gaming today, spending probably thousands of euros every year on games, consoles, PC components, etc.

Damn, even $11.99 sounds like a lot - I only pay 12.99€ for a family plan in Europe.

I think it works best if you have a lot of screen real estate. My sweet spot is around 5120x1440p (either ultrawide or two monitors) with about 5 desktops. I never overlap windows and it works amazingly for me.

I used to do this with Gnome, nowadays I use the exact same workflow in Mac OS, and I feel super productive with it. I haven’t used alt tab in about a decade now 😃

For me, it only works with good keyboard shortcuts for the following:

1. Quickly moving between desktops (for example, super + <desktop number>)
2. Quickly moving windows between desktops (for example, super + shift + <desktop number>)
3. Quickly snapping windows to areas in the current desktop (for example, super + arrow keys)

Wow, both of those are among my all time favorite games. Good taste!

Nice work!

This is already implemented in lemmy 0.18.1 for comments and posts!

This doesn’t directly affect me, as I’ve exclusively bought digital games only for over a decade, but it still annoys me based on principle. It’s basically a bait and switch - it would be far more honest to just say “it’s digital only” than to sell a useless physical box.

Oh boy. I didn’t expect YoshiP to deliver a bad game by any means, but this is looking like it will exceed all my expectations anyway.

I would recommend reconsidering that solution - I’ve already seen some malicious image uploads which Cloudflare has caught and prevented. For example:

Maybe you can check which specific rule from the ruleset was being triggered? For me, legit uploads are still working with the default ruleset (as you can see by the screenshot I uploaded in this very comment), so maybe you enabled some extra rules?

Can you elaborate which functions are blocked by the managed rules? I haven’t noticed anything legit being blocked yet, just a bunch of obviously malicious things.

Hey! Did you manage to verify your e-mail? Unverified e-mails seem to be the most common cause in this situation.

Reposting my comment from another thread to spread awareness:

There is a bug in 0.17.4 that stops front pages from updating shortly after the server is restarted, thus resulting in “hot” and “active” showing stale posts.

I have fixed this issue on https://lemm.ee already, you can check our front page to see fresh posts. The fix will soon land in the main Lemmy codebase as well so other instances can take advantage, you can track the issue here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076

I have also advised other instance admins that regularly restarting their Lemmy server will work as a band-aid workaround until the proper fix is released, so some admins have already implemented this in order to get their post rankings working again, but the proper fix will come in the next release of Lemmy.

I was on the same distro for ~10 years, roughly 2010-2020, before I got pulled into the “Apple ecosystem”. (Still use Linux on all my servers, though!)

I use(d) Arch, btw 😛

I think people will eventually get used to the idea that the name of a community is not just the part before the “@”.

I mean, even regular people have no difficulty understanding that e-mail addresses like bob@google.com and bob@microsoft.com are two different “identifiers” and, most likely, two completely different people. Given a bit of time, I think there will be a general understanding that “!foo@lemmy.ml” and “!foo@beehaw.org” are different names.
