I think it's time to close some of your open tabs.

It appears that I do have the "Show context" button (granted it's a little hard to notice at first), but it appears to not be functioning properly. I just tested it in this thread by clicking "Show context" for this comment, and instead of showing me this comment, as I would expect, it instead showed me this comment.

Can you see if a moderator has removed comments from a thread?

Yes, but it involves sorting through the community modlog.

I wonder if this feature could be implemented -- it would just be another sorting option in comment sections -- assuming that the server actually stores this data.

Can you see the content of the removed comments?

No. Not even mods/admins can.

From what I can see in the modlog, it appears that you can see the content of comments, but just not the content of posts. It seems to treat comments as post titles in the log. What's also weird is that they have links associated with them which appear to point at nothing. Perhaps they are supposed to point to the original comment/post?

Are moderators able to specify motive for the specific removal?

Yes, but to be honest, I have no idea where that reason goes or who it is visible to

It looks like you can see it underneath the removed item in a little bit of text that states "Reason", and then the reasoning.

Go to filter by action and choose “removing comments”

That's only within the modlog, though. I'm talking about withint the comment thread for a post. As I stated:

Also, can you see mod removals within a comment thread? Or is it only in the modlog that you can see removals?

[–] Kalcifer 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

You wont be able to see any reply context?

EDIT: Upon testing here, it appears not. That makes it rather unuseable, does it not?

[–] Kalcifer 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Cool! However, while it does show the full log of removals, it appears that I can't see the original content of the post -- I can only see that a post with a title was removed. Also, can you see mod removals within a comment thread? Or is it only in the modlog that you can see removals?

[–] Kalcifer 8 points 1 year ago

I didn't think that it would -- I was hopeful that it might.

[–] Kalcifer 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It appears that it is not opensource, unfortunately.

[–] Kalcifer 1 points 1 year ago

Apologies, I did not.

[–] Kalcifer 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't verified for myself, yet, but other people in this thread who have had the same question seem to commonly be responded to with lemm.ee.

[–] Kalcifer 4 points 1 year ago

Are you joking? The extent of their thought process is essentially "I don't like their opinions".

[–] Kalcifer 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be that as it may, why should people be prevented from questioning it? Isolating people does not make them better informed. Conversation does. All that isolation accomplishes is creating echochambers --which only serves to strengthen their beliefs.

It seems that most information that I can find on the subject is about a year old, so I am wondering if anyone has any up-to-date info.

I see that in the blog post regarding Element Call, they say that Element Call is fully implemented using Matrix:

What’s more, Element Call is built entirely on Matrix: it doesn’t need any additional servers to get going. You can run it against your existing Matrix homeserver to provide complete self-sovereignty… while still being able to talk to anyone else anywhere on the wider Matrix network!

Does this mean that group voice, and video calls will work on other Matrix clients? Element seems to have the ability to create something called a "Video Room" which seems to match what discord does with the pop-in/pop-out voice-chat room; however, if I look at that room in another client like Nheko, it does not appear to have the functionality. Is that simply because they have yet to implement it themselves, or is it that the feature is unique to element, and, as a result, will not work with any other client? If so, is Matrix going to implement it so that it can be mirrored across other clients?

 

This site would display the same sort of information as All Trails: descriptions, pictures, waypoints, information about trail dangers, trail maps, time to complete the trail, distance, elevation gain, hiking season, etc.


I apologize if this is not the right community for this post. If there is a more appropriate community, please let me know, and I will repost this there.

I would be interested in licensing all of my posts, and comments (or any other applicable user-created content) under CC BY-SA 4.0. Is this legally feesible? How would one go about this properly? Is it enough to just state in a bio something like "All of this users posts are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0", or would I also have to add "This work is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0" to the end of every post, and comment that I make?

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong community for this post. If so, please point me in the right direction of where I should post this.


I'm thinking of trying out KeePassXC, and, when creating a new database, I came across the following settings:

Some of this is somewhat self explanatory to me ("Encryption Algorithm", and "Key Derivation Function"), but some of it not so much -- namely, "Transform Rounds" (I'm assuming that "Memory Usage", and "Parallelism" are more specific, not to the database on the whole, but, instead, to the decryption itself within the app, or, maybe, even just for the benchmark). What exactly is "Transform Rounds"? Does it mean that the passwords are encrypted over, and over again, in attempt to protect against dictionary attacks? I haven't been able to find any concrete information.

 

When I want to add a hole feature, I need to first sketch and constrain a circle where the hole is supposed to be. This would make a bit more sense if the hole actually followed the constraints of the circle, but it doesn't -- I could constrain the sketch of the circle to be one radius, and then, at the same time, specify that the hole be a completely different radius. I feel like it would make much more sense if the hole actually followed the dimensions of the sketch of the circle. If the sketch is just used for the placement of the hole, then it should be enough to simply place a point (which does not currently work -- I must sketch a circle).


Edit 1: It looks like there is an open issue for this on GitHub.

Over time, Lemmy instances are going to keep aquiring more, and more data. Even if, in the best case, they are not caching content and they are just storing the data posted to communities local to the server, there will still be a virtually limitless growth in server storage requirements. Eventually, it may get to a point where it is no longer economically feesible to host all of the infrastructure to keep expanding the server's storage. What happens at this point? Will servers begin to periodically purge old content? I have concerns that there will be a permanent horizon (as Lemmy becomes more popular, the rate of growth in storage requirements will also increase, thereby reducing the distance to this horizon) over which old -- and still very useful -- data will cease to exist. Is there any plan to archive this old data?

 

I have been trying to understand how the caching of content from other Lemmy instances works. From what I have gathered, the local Lemmy instance will automatically download and store posts made to any communities that are followed by users on the local instance.

To me, this seems somewhat unsustainable in the long term - I am aware of the fact that it's only storing the text of the posts, and not any media. I'm curious if it's possible to configure the local instance to only cache the stored data for a certain amount of time (it might be better to just periodically purge the entire cache with a cronjob, or something); however, the data that I would like to store permanently is posts to any other community by users on the local instance, as well as posts made to communities on the instance (I have a suspicion that the communites data is permanently stored by default).

Do you need a domain name if you are hosting a Lemmy instance, or will it work fine with just an ip-address + port (e.g. <username>@<ip-address>:<port>)?

 

I have the following:

I want the center rectangle to be concentric with the outer rectangle (the separation of each edge should be equal). What's the best way to do this?

Yeah, the drive is dying. As suggested by @nous@[email protected], and @[email protected], I ran a S.M.A.R.T. test (the short option), and received the following report:

I have a pulled hard drive from an old Western Digital external hard drive. I connected it to my desktop to see what was on it, and, after running fdisk -l (which took a weirdly long time to run while also keeping one core at 100%), it gave the error message:

The primary GPT table is corrupt, but the backup appears OK, so that will be used.

However, trying to mount it resulted in another error saying that the drive doesn't exist. Looking at dmesg reveals a ton of other errors like the following:
