Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.

I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.

There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).

Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.

I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.

Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.

Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.

Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.

Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it’s not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.

Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I’ll consider them after all

I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?

How do WiFi switches do when you have a lot? Is it an issue to put in 50 WiFi switches, wouldn’t that overload the network?

DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.

Most people will use their internet company’s DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it’s blocked instead of to the website server.

More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.

ELI5: France is lying to your computer when it asks where to find the websites

0.19.4 was only released a few days ago. And Lemmy.world, the biggest instance, sure ain’t gonna be the guinea pig!

Ah yes, thanks, edited. Using a new keyboard and the autocorrect is still learning.

You already have Jellyfin, maybe test out adding a music library and using Finamp or Fintunes to access it?

But this is a function of your stored energy, so if you don’t have enough fat to make up for your metabolic deficit, that energy will have to come from somewhere as a priority to keep your brain alive. Don’t put your body in that position.

So what you’re saying is I should keep excess body fat, just in case I need to eat only cottage cheese for a month?

You can’t keep your comment history on a brand new account.

Aren’t the Lemmy volumes bind mounts, so not in the docker volumes folder but instead on the file system as mapped in the docker-compose.yml file?

In the official announcement, they have very carefully and deliberately avoided the term “open source”.

“Open source” has a very specific meaning, and probably the key part for this is if there are any restrictions on what you do with any derivative software you create.

Can you use the Winamp source code to create a new media player and sell it? If there is say a restriction on if you can use it in a company or on if you can sell it, then it’s not “open source” even though you can publish noncommercial software based on it.

The Winamp announcement linked to in the article never says “Open source”, that’s the article writer not understanding the difference.

How come the apps are controlling your keyboard? Shouldn’t it use your phone’s selected keyboard?

What’s the licence? It doesn’t sound like “open source” and sounds more like “source available”.

If you go on the web ui and look where the sort option is, there’s a little ?. Click it and it will explain the sorting options.

Many instances use Active as the default, which is based on latest comment. However, it’s also based on the score, so if you are spamming or people don’t like your post you’ll get down voted (or no one will upvote) and then it won’t hit the front page even when sorted by Active.

The (orginal) idea of a target of 1-3%ish (depending on country) is that you want inflation small so businesses can ignore it for their planning. A business will avoid spending and possibly lay off people if they are expecting big increases in costs coming up.

“Good” inflation is driven by demand. Company doing well -> expand -> need more staff -> not enough people in job market -> have to raise prices to pay higher salaries to attract staff = inflation.

Bad inflation is more like: sales down -> cut staff to save costs -> less people have disposable income because they are losing their jobs -> sales down even more -> have to charge more per item because low sales remove economy of scale benefits = inflation

Deflation is a sign that the second one is starting. Sales down, so companies cut prices to try to get their sales up, they then have to cut jobs to stay afloat with lower prices, then those people cut don’t have disposable income so sales fall further.

You may have noticed the problem, which is that issues with inflation impact employees. Deflation is bad for employees. Inflation is bad for employees. Most larger companies are fine either way.

I have a great technique for this.

First, pick some to do software. Start adding things as you remember them, and ticking them off as you do the. Soon you will find you are adding things to the list much faster than you are ticking them off!

Now here’s the trick: find some new to do software, and start adding your to dos to that one instead! Ignore the previous list.

Repeat! It’s like magic!
