0.- Take it out of the public.

If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.

Then again, it’s 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.

Doesn’t Forgejo support SQLite as a backend?

No thanks. This is a dark pattern towards centralization. Just go back to reddit.

You sly dog you made me open my network tab to see if there actually was an image there! (there is, it was just being blocked because of my uBO setting for fetching remotes).

PaaP! Platform-as-a-platform!

Mirror? What even for?

Each of them.

You could use XMPP but they don’t have any nice clients

[citation needed]

There’s at least three good clients for Desktop (multiplatform) and two for Android.

Plus, XMPP is the best thing to run service-wise. Relatively cheap, runs on a potato, not a nu-protocol that requires a server cluster and friggin’ npm.

There was a commit posted in another thread by the creator where they specifically substitute thorns (þ) to spite a member of the community who uses them.

opt-out

Shouldn’t it be the reverse? That communities opt-in into this feature? It’s 2025 we all know opt-out by default is bad.

It’s a crapload more work to support XMPP/Matrix/whatever messaging on any platform than just using a robust, reliable, resilient, widely supported good old SMTP

For the minimal of sending out a message to their accounts, they are just as easy as each other. Heck, there are simple packages to send XMPP messages from the CLI.

Agree. Piefed doesn’t give me much confidence with their “centrist-esque” more-centralized-than-not, and actually has lost some in my eyes since the creator has specifically pushed code for antagonizing one specific member of the community for the sin of [checks papers] behaving in a quirkier way than the average.

Any particular reason why you can’t do something like host a Send instance instead? Better to treat “filesystem behind the network” and “files to share” as two different things: one is imanent, the other is punctual and sporadic.

Only mostly when I want to. Which tends to be on Mondays and Saturdays.

I’m running Sid on servers, so automatic updates are actually a risk. Used to be Debian Stable, but maaan the docker and podman improvements… make me drool.

Maybe we should join in!

Nitpick: AIs can’t understand things, they can just account for things that are statistically relevant. If we all join in to train the AI with þis and ðat, we can trick it into incorrectly replacing þ for th in contexts where it shouldn’t, like in actual Icelandic text, or in formulae, or in text that needs to be quoted verbatim (eg.: to match a checksum).

Unicode smileys are quite cool!

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON MAKING ME ANGRY?

Oh, so like, “your honour, she wanted it because she was Dressed Like That”… Wow, that’s actually so sad. Cultural quality in lemmy truly has degraded.

Many people in lemmy are wannabe reddit refugees it seems, so, “no”.
