That’s AWESOME. I hope Nextcloud gets better at this soon. So far I’ve been needing to spend some time renaming the files from 64 character CDN hash names to tags like

"Monkey,gibbon,spin,woop,reaction.gif"

It’s worked somewhat well so far if I try to keep it as simple and obvious as possible.

Oh that’s neat. I remember someone just saying “Cut out 3 yellow triangles, tape them to the TV, and have Link jump and get them.” Lol!

Something tells me this guy could talk about dicks all night slong.

All night schlong XD

I’m sincerely glad you appreciated it. I worry I ramble a bit too much sometimes! :)

In some ways Lemmy can still feel like the “Old Internet”, for better and worse haha, but there’s still people like us that appreciate small moments of genuine connection with people.

We can be revolutionaries by making those positive connections in the communities we visit. :D

I hope you’re doing okay and have a good one today.

Reddit definitely used to be! But sadly thanks to reddit, I think we’re seeing the damage from a disappearing internet when a lot of people mass-deleted their posts and it affects technical pages.

How do I fix this really niche technical issue?

Toasters lollypops groundhogs sport icecube I have scrambled all my reddit posts with a script because reddit sucks and Spez sucks.

Thanks! That’s EXACTLY what I needed! I’ve been looking everywhere for this solution. Have a gold, internet stranger sir/madame. I hope anybody else who has this issue comes here first so they don’t spend as long as I did before I saw your post!

💀

By the end of my time there, you could make one unpopular sentence in a post and be hounded for it for DAYS.

Yeah, for good or ill, I notice threads on Lemmy run their course pretty quickly, and replying on something more than a week old feels increasingly pointless.

But also hey, not getting dogpiled for too long is also nice lol.

I’ve found myself on the “Let me evaluate this as objectively as possible and still I usually end up pretty left of center” camp, and yet I’m definitely not immune to it.

I’ve had a few run-ins, like one where I tried to de-escalate and respectfully critique a thread that was basically (smugly?) a “death to anyone who looks like they might resemble the other team” jihad , and boy, oh boy the hivemind got stirred.

It’s gotten so bad that merely suggesting temperance and moral consideration brands you a filthy both-siding liberal nazi-enabler or something.

I believe a successful resistance includes restraining unhinged extremists that would stab their fellows in the back for not being extreme enough, but some segments of Lemmy won’t hear it.

What can I say, I’m also here for the memes. But otherwise…I don’t blame you.

I like knowing what’s going on , especially when corpo news sources try to sweep it under the rug, and sometimes comments can be really insightful, but often the discourse is so tribalistically rage-blinded and the line of acceptable extremes keeps getting pushed to frightening degree.

Even the slightest hint of disagreement with the extent of said extremes, even if you’re on the same “side” of an issue, will get you branded and told to face the wall with the rest of the filth…You know, by the types who most loudly proclaim how much they’re against fascists .

(My guess is mostly it’s angy isolated teens with anonymity and hair-trigger emotions paired with drooping history grades. And I say this as an idealistic anarchist lol. But it still hurts. Words are words.)

I was recently downvoted like crazy and attacked quite viciously for merely suggesting that dehumanizing human beings, even enemies, is a dark path. Even the poster I was responding to was like “That’s messed up, you were respectfully discussing. People are crazy.”

I’m more careful now.

It’s beginning to remind me of the apocalyptic world of Metro 2033: On one side, Neo-Nazis want to kill you outright. On the other: the Red army wants to conscript comrade you to their frontlines to hurl at their enemies.

…and most people are just caught in the middle trying to survive.

Sorry for the long reply. Let’s stay safe, sane, and keep touching grass. Take good care out there. ❤️

Obsidian and Bitwarden self hosted alternative that can be run in docker container.

Well not 100% sure about Docker but Tiddlywiki is pretty easily hosted! It’s got some quirks, but in the end it’s just an HTML file (or slightly more complex if hosted as a website), so it should stay relevant for a long time. I enioy making notebooks with it for various things!

Nextcloud has a pretty decent passwords manager and I think firefox plugins for it. I personally use SyncThing to sync KeePass databases and use the nextcloud passwords app for low-risk things we share, like streaming service passwords. :)

That’s fair, although to use that analogy, I hope it’d be like Mr. Robot as opposed to something like NCIS. 😉

Bring back the sneakernet! 🤘

Finding former Pizza Huts in North America.

Wait, I have a meme for this! (Forgive the lack of crop lol)

This sounds like the entire premise behind the manga/anime Dr. Stone.

All humans on earth get turned to stone, and a young scientific supergenius teaches survivors how to essentially restart civilization from scratch.

It’s an absolute joy to watch. Maybe you’d dig it? :D

Oh man, Second Life! I remember being absolutely wowed by it even though I never made an account. Its heyday was very much before I’d be able or brave enough to use real money in a virtual social game like that. (That wasn’t WoW lol)

I always fondly remember the lovable antics of the legendary troll: Esteban Winsmore!

Gaia Online reminds me a lot of Ragnarok, visually. That’s cool it’s still around! I remember hopping around F2P MMOs like crazy just trying to find something me and my long distance partner could interact together and vibe with. There were a lot of oddball ones that are shockingly still around!

That is really cool! I too, miss when the bulk of the web was self expression rather than dollar-rustling.

The “indie web” is making a small but vibrant resurgence and I’m all for it!

Ha! COOL! I thought I was alone in this! Whenever I’m visiting a new place I love to examine and photograph the sticker bombs on the backs of signs and utility boxes and what have you.

I love that weird sense of culture and mystery wondering who placed it and what they’re about.

I remember while visiting the Pacific Northwest I kept seeing “Dingus” everywhere, and got a giggle out of one that said “Sorry I chazzed your banger.” Whatever that means LOL.

I’ve really wanted to try getting into this sometime! I just love nifty ways of hitting distant things with other things.

I’ve heard of people fashioning them outta paracord and using tennis balls to start with and thought that sounded cool.

Plus, something that looks like a weird belt could potentially hurl any old rock at dangerous velocities, and that’s gotta be worth something in this dangerous world.

How’d you first get into it?

This is so cool, thanks for sharing! I’m really excited about the “indie web”, being a network of expressive people being people rather than just a giant commerce machine.

Hey that’s super helpful, I really appreciate it! Thank you! I haven’t checked in on the project(s) in quite a while. :)
