You like deploying infrastructure, probably in a cloud environment, but you don’t want to push a bunch of buttons in their web interface, so you use Terraform to declaratively define the things you want, and it goes and builds them for you. Super useful for when you need to build resources often, to detect and correct config drift, and get started down the path of Infrastructure as Code.

I think the Kindle Scribe has a lit screen, if e-ink is what you’re after.

I love my ReMarkable 2! I use it everyday for handwritten notes and for e-reading. It doesn’t support the major stores, but it loads epubs just fine. I’m also self-hosting rmfakecloud cause I’m that kind of nerd. You mentioned night use, so definitely be aware it does not have any lighting built in.

Lemmy 0.18 has resolved most of these for me. As the big instances update, hopefully this gets more stable for you!

And WebKit is itself a fork of KHTML.

Just checked my own Lemmy postgres database, it’s a 12 round Bcrypt 2b hash.

On one hand, this is super cool, but on the other, it gives orcas and robots the chance to team up, and I’m not here for that.

And then you’ll need to convince every instance admin to swap to this fork.

I think the question about “being on Beehaw” is because you’ve been commenting on a post in a Beehaw community.

This update, specifically how funding is happening, helped me understand some of the reasoning behind the narrow focus of the Lemmy developers. I appreciate them foregoing their regular paychecks to work on stability. Hopefully things settle down soon to the point that the extra eyes and hands on the project are more helpful than they are distracting.

There’s no function in lemmy to track reasons in the admin interface, it’s a text box where you pass in a list of blocked instances. The Beehaw admins may maintain a list separately.

bit off more than they could chew

By starting a Lemmy instance a year and a half before Rexxit? I never saw them claim to want to be the next Reddit. The Fediverse had an influx of users and Lemmy doesn’t currently have the mod or admin tools to deal with that situation gracefully. My understanding is that most of the bad actors were external to Beehaw.

They didn’t bite off anything, shit was being shoved into their mouth so they closed it.

Personally, I’m using my very own Lemmy instance so that I can choose who I federate with (including Beehaw). I totally understand why some folks might want to have their home instance elsewhere, and it’s cool that federation gives us that ability.

This wasn’t the impression I got from the Beehaw admins. I believe they felt that blocking lemmy.world users from Beehaw but still being able to have Beehaw users interact with lemmy.world would have been better than full defederation, but I don’t think that was the ideal solution either. Something like an approval process for an external user to interact with Beehaw communities would be preferable.

Also, Beehaw could go fully private today if they wanted to, that definitely doesn’t seem to be their intention.

Oh interesting, it looks like PWA notifications were added in iOS 16.4, I’m not on that yet. So maybe it is a lemmy issue.

I wish notifications worked with the PWA. I’m guessing that’s an Apple restriction 😞

What all this has highlighted for me (and clearly a bunch of other people) is just how little friction is required for me to say “eh, I could live without [reddit | twitter]. Switch to a different app? No thanks. That’s no effort. I deployed my own Lemmy instance and figured out the fediverse instead of downloading the official Reddit app from the App Store. I think that shows how little loyalty some people have to these centralized platforms.

Fair. Discovery is easier on a big instance, but you get a lot more control on a smaller one.

Each of the three largest instances now are working to be a standalone replacement for Reddit and are in direct competition with each other.

I think it’s clear Beehaw isn’t working to be, or wanting to be, a replacement for Reddit at all.

Pretty sure that’s just a cosmetic issue on Lemmy 0.17.3. BeeHaw is updating to 0.17.4 in about 4 hours, which may resolve that. Either way, if you see that, you should be subscribed!
