Nah, nah, it was the International Phonetic Alphabet. Can't have something like that on the 'murican internet.

But... If you claim you're always wrong, that means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right, which mean you're always wrong, which means you're always right...

This sounds interesting, could you give me some backstory?

I'm not disagreeing about the result, Lemmy definitely feels less spammy/trolly, but either you or I have misunderstood something about registration. As far as I'm aware, any rate-limiting, proof of personhood, email verification, etc. is completely a per-instance thing. So all you'd need is an instance that's permissive to get heaps of accounts. Or even if there aren't any permissive ones (that haven't been defederated), you could host a private instance, or sign up on multiple instances. However permissive Reddit is, I don't think Lemmy fundamentally has the capability to be particularly restrictive.

I'd be on board with this, but as you say it's a show of a community's coordination. Are there any lemmy communities coordinating anything? I couldn't see any in a brief search, but I very well might have missed something.

Ah yes, the standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. The tactic does not get old.

Do you understand the functioning of both interpreters, down to the CPU instructions? How the database you're using performs those updates, or quickly finds your items? The precise function of the virtual DOM? TLS handshake protocol? If so, good on you, but you don't need to know more than the surface level of any of these for a CRUD app. But these and other systems you use hold the raw power, and wielding them poorly could lead to bugs, or security or performance issues.

On the other side, whatever you do may seem mundane to you, but lighting a fire would seem mundane to a sorcerer the umpteenth time they've done so. A simple CRUD app could seem dramatic if you have no idea where you'd even start building one, which is the state the majority of people are in.

If 18's the limit, I'm below that most days, and perfectly comfortable. I just wear a jacket if I need to, with a blanket over my legs if it's particularly cold, and I'm nice and cosy.

If I were running a business and had to share passwords and control access to things for multiple users, that's probably what I'd do, but all I need is a synced password storage. Self-hosting a server's probably overkill for that.

Also, isn't the vault itself encrypted? You shouldn't have to encrypt extra to do a backup.

I have been using BitWarden, and it's pretty good, but I'm shifting over to Keepass now, syncing the database with syncthing. Means I don't have to trust they won't be breached, but it is definitely a bit more of a faff to get set up. For anyone unsure, I would definitely recommend a managed service like BitWarden though. I got my sister on it, who would probably have a single password for everything otherwise, and she got the hang of it super quick.

What about the "all" stream? Is that also preloaded to the server?

For all the memes, Arch has not once broken on me.
