Is RiMusic dead?

their snapshots are marked as copy on write, so my assumption is that for every write, there is replication somewhere.

I might be wrong here, but my understanding is that their snapshots are the kind we find in modern filesystems (ZFS/BTRFS/...) : that is a point-in-time kind of functionnality, where a file will be duplicated (and the original version then will only belong to the snapshot) only when it is written to. This is just the way snapshots are implemented here - and a rather common way of doing it efficiently - not a reliability feature.

I don't mean automatically replicate anything, that would be pointless. But I'm still a reddit user myself, and from time to time I stumble onto something interesting, and I'd like to let it live on Lemmy as well.

I don't know how ethical it would be, and maybe it already exists, but a tool to replicate a Reddit post directly on a Lemmy instance could be useful

TL;DR it's much more beautiful but won't be free, as it'll need at least to buy some upgrade even if you had the original, switch1 game.

There’s no such thing as a “dating league”. People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual.

Exactly this. I can't deal with anymore "rating" of people's attractiveness, as daily seen on Reddit and the such. Beauty, attractiveness, and overall interest a person generates is highly (if not solely) dependent on said interest's other end.

There is something deeply flawed in trying to put people into small, numbered boxes.

This might already be the case, but the guy deserves is own character and quest in Project Tamriel and/or Tamriel Rebuilt. This is way too young an age to go.

this. that's why a model is as good as its known margin of error and limits

and it's important to remember models work well outside of edge cases ; in your speedometer example, if you brake on ice and your car drifts out of control, the speedometer will show no speed, when you'll probably have one ... but in most cases, it's a good enough model

Nope, doesn't seem so at all. I'll stay with the web version of LibreOffice, myself (and OnlyOffice as a second choice if the first one were to went south)

And keep in mind that cutting ALL sugar out of your diet (which, luckily enough, isn't that easy to do) will starve your brain and make you feel increasingly stupid. It's only after my last week-long fast that I've read that our brains can't really work on glycogen (ketosis-produced "sugar").

live a few more years

And see more of your children, maybe even your grand-children. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Yeah, I think I recognized him, but couldn't find a half-decent pun on his name. Van Hamme was the closest I could find, look-wise.

 

Instead, I want to take aim at a misconception that I think Pablo shares with many, many people in the software industry. Namely, the idea that if a software system is built correctly, it will work. Or, equivalently: if a software system doesn’t work, then it wasn’t built correctly.

Great read, as often with Dan.

 

I'm trying to setup a community without pict-rs (and as such, without being able to host its pictures myself). I've been tinkering a bit with the API (through python clients, essentially), and I've found how to change my users's avatar to an URL, but not a community. On Lemmy.py, for instance, I have an update() method a community object, but it can't seem to modify anything...

Has anyone an idea? Thx
