Hobbit Art

[email protected]

I love everything about the Middle Earth legendarium. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have resulted in countless pieces of art for us all to enjoy. Please join me and the rest of the hobbits in celebrating the artwork of the best works of fiction ever created!

The above picture comes from Courtney Myers Art. (I am not affiliated with the artist.)

That's a deep cut.

Presumably because you're protecting yourself rather than the "clients"?

I have the same problem even after unchecking read posts. Of course, it's a bug either way. In the meantime I just always click the save post button so my posts show up there instead.

The real reason was that Gollum couldn't fly. If they flew there, Frodo would have claimed the ring and that would be that.

The explanation for why Gandalf chose not to fly is up for question, but ultimately irrelevant.

Can you clarify? If my instance doesn't have custom emojis, it's safe?

Planetina from Rick and Morty would just straight up murder the biggest offenders.

Well, I just made hobbit.world and intend to only have Tolkien related communities there. So block away if that's not your thing. However, the only way to block an instance is to defederate and that's kind of harsh. Hopefully the feature of blocking communities by instance is added.

 

I'm experimenting with paints. I've found that Golden heavy body paints are thick and useful for texture.

But, liquitex soft body paints feel practically like ink in that I can easily draw lines using a liner brush.

Just adding water to the thick paint doesn't achieve the same thing. Is there some sort of material I can add to thick paint to achieve the same effect so I don't need to stock up on multiple types of every color?

Like this: [email protected]

Assuming that's the right one. Same name can be used on any instance.

You need to include the instance domain.

[–] 3rdBlueWizard 17 points 1 year ago

This sort of stuff is crucial and needs to be built in.

Most instances are one user's whim away from going away. This isn't a problem as long as clients back things up and migration is easy. But, that doesn't happen right now.

Guarantee we'll see some big news at points in the future when a big instance goes down because the owner died or just lost interest.

Again, these are easily overcome, but they are issues right now.

Actually, clicking those links actually works! Hooray!

I was under the impression that you were supposed to be able to search for "[email protected]" in the community search bar and find things there. Now that I know it works, I've found that simply modifying the community url also works. So going to: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] actually jumps me right to it.

So, looks like it was already working. Thanks!

 

Everything works great there locally, but I can't subscribe to communities on other instances and can't see my instance from lemmy.world.

I see no setting for this in the console other than "Federation enabled" which is enabled, and allowed and blocked instances. I added lemmy.world to allowed.

For example:

[email protected]

(If it matters, I have new user accounts disabled until I figure things out.)

Yep, I used the Atlas pretty extensively to figure things out for the video. It's an amazing resource.

 

It starts a little slow as Boromir makes his journey, but things pick up later as more people start moving around.

If nothing else, I learned a ton about what was actually going on.

Kind of crazy how much Gandalf moves around throughout the whole thing. Eru really should have given him wings.

 

You can see the bits moving around inside when you use it.

 

I bought both domains, but can't decide which to use.

 

For me, in no particular order:

  • Firewatch
  • This War of Mine
  • What Remains of Edith Finch
  • Gone Home
  • Papers Please
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

I've tried Jerboa and Connect. They are ok, but there are features I'd like.

Biggest feature is account backup and transfer. If I switch Lemmy instances, I don't want to have to sub and block all the same channels and people. Heck, maybe keep two accounts always in sync, just in case my initial instance goes down.

Instance blocking. Basically individual defederation by hiding posts and users in the client.

Blocking all subs of a name regardless of instance. If I don't want to see a sub about Foo on one instance, I probably don't want it anywhere.

Keyword blocking. There are public figures I am tired of. Don't need to see any post about them. (Connect actually has this, although I haven't tested it yet).

Really easy channel blocking. Just swipe and it's blocked.

 

If I want to join a bunch of related channels together, is there a way to do that like multireddits?

I think that will become more important as the number of channels proliferates.

 

I have tinnitus and could never stand CRT whine. But I'd like to get one for classic gaming if there was such a thing as a silent crt.
