Very high praise! Let me know what they find helpful or frustrating!

Ultimately I think it's sort of like Python and C#. Python got big by being easy to use, with great community management, and it took decades to reach its peak of popularity. C# got big because Microsoft threw a ton of money at people to use it. Of the two, Python's popularity seems to be lasting longer.

I suspect this will be the case for all the new sites and protocols popping up in The Web 2.0 Crash, or whatever the history books call it. We'll see a few sites like TikTok and Threads that "buy their friends", get a ton of overnight popularity and then fade away, and we'll get a few "institutions" that take their time building healthy communities over tens of years. ActivityPub didn't wow me with Mastodon but I'm pleasantly surprised by Lemmy, so maybe the Fediverse will be one of those institutions... but personally I still think there's room in the market for RSS to make a comeback.

If I were him I'd stand by that defense. It's a carefully worded and sane defense. He's not defending child abuse, he's saying, extremely clearly and plainly, that possession of evidence is not the same as committing abuse, and that the law shouldn't use possession as a scapegoat. Which, given that every attempt to censor the internet in the last 10 years has started with "protect the children", I'd say he was trying to cut that tactic off at the head.

Hear hear! I thought I didn't like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. "Oh, I can't view other instances' local timelines without making accounts on them? What's even the point of federation then?" But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it's not the fediverse's fault, Mastodon just doesn't have a clear audience.

And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon's features are "privacy-focused", but I think it does TOO good a job, it's so private that you can't find anything!

in a word, intersectionality. you're getting people who were already looking for an excuse to ditch reddit and twitter, and of that group, you're selecting the ones with the most tech literacy. That tends to overlap people with progressive politics.

The Rise4 remap kit for Dualsense isn't exactly "hardcoded" to ABXY, you can map them to any combination of face buttons. You can't create new ones, though. However! If you're not using the trackpads, you can assign steam virtual menus to them, and get up to 16 new "soft" buttons on each side.

Can't go wrong with a Dualsense controller. Steam Input works great with it, and it has a touchpad, tilt sensor, analog triggers, and you can even remap the 'mute' button. Mine has the Rise4 paddles mod, which isn't quite like the steam deck's remappable grip buttons, but its close enough for most games where I'd want them.

I've changed my naming scheme so many times that its practically a set-of-sets at this point. But, "board games" is a good long one if you have a lot of machines.

I add .env to my .gitignore, then I can safely put secrets in my .env. If you have a big .env file, make a sample.env with the secrets removed.

actually, could you tell me more? not only are those new solutions to me, those are new problems. I don't even know how to tell if uPnP is turned on.

edit: oh! I have actually dealt with NAT reflection before, the guide I used called it Hairpin NAT. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/NAT#NAT-HairpinNAT
