Excel is the one I don’t hate, all alternatives suck way more. Active Directory is also ok, but you have to click more than in a moba game, it can become annoying.

Asking good questions is not easy.

If you ask a question which was already answered thousand of times you should search for the answer, not ask it again. Obviously from your point of view it’s a new question, but if someone replies to a lot of threads it can become annoying to see the same thing again and again.

Other common wrong question is when you don’t give enough details.

If you experience that your questions are downvoted frequently, please read this old guide “How To Ask Questions The Smart Way”. If you ask good questions, there is a bigger chance someone will help you

Posting here as there doesn’t seem to be an active Arch Linux community.

archlinux@lemmy.ml seems active to m

Your text says qemu-desktop is only “optional” for qemu-base. You can safely remove qemu-desktop, pacman won’t nag about optional dependencies.

For checking dependencies, I like to use pactree, it draws nice graphs in the terminal: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Pactree

I was in highschool in the 2000s in Europe, and msn was our default way of communication with classmates.

Wiki says he is still there:

Criminal penalty: 15 years to life imprisonment (parole in 2022 refused, next hearing is in 2027)

It’s incorrect. I have 2 AMD cards, I can detach it from linux before booting the guest. After I shut down the guest I have to log out in Gnome to make the card usable again, but no reboot required. It depends on how you set it up. I have a single 34" monitor with 2 inputs, connected to both cards.

I recommend to read about this topic, it would be quicker than waiting for people to answer, your questions were answered multiple times. I recommend the vfio wiki on the r*ddit a lot of good links are collected there: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index

Thank you for the clarification, I understand what is your issue now

It would be hard to get the context, and you could totally misunderstood the thread, e.g. from your hidden comment everyone get that replies are sarcastic, but you don’t.

Maybe an “temporarily unhide blocked user’s comment and replies” button to show the whole thread.

There are instances where downvotes are disabled, if you don’t like them you can just use an instance like that.

Downvotes are public and not anonymous, but they are hidden in Lemmy ui. Afaik you can see who downvotes your posts from Piefed or Mbin. See this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/18805474 or this: https://piefed.social/post/205362

Keyboard navigation. I know about https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation but it’s annoying that I have to use an addin/userscript for such a basic feature.

Option for default comment sorting. you can change the default sort only for posts, but not for comments, comments always sorted by Hot, and you have to manually change it each time you open comments.

In Voyager you can set this up, but it would be useful in the webui as well.

Workaround: use multiline code blocks with defined language, e.g:

systemctl --user cat emacs
pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect

Drawback: you cant use it in a list or inline

There was a related news recently, that bitwarden and other pw managers will be able to sync passkeys between devices. Won’t that solve these issues?

The latter: https://vscodium.com/

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking.

The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled.

If you don’t need fancy gui and authentication, registry is easy to set up and works really well: https://hub.docker.com/_/registry

I have several addresses at cock.li. Uptime is not the best, around 98%, but free. According to their policy they don’t collect any personal data, but they comply with legal requests. https://cock.li/help

You can select from a lot of domains, some of them ar normal like firemail.cc or airmail.cc, some of them are funny like aaathats3as.com, some of them are edgy like cocaine.ninja or national.shitposting.agency, some of them are racist like nuke.africa or hitler.rocks

While I see DXVK was important, Valve’s history with Linux is much older. I would place “anime girl thighs” on the second domino

SteamOS was first released in 2013, just before they released there first hardware running Linux, the duly forgotten Steam Machines in 2015.

but I don’t see how what I am proposing would make things more difficult?

Now when a user reports a troll, the report goes to the moderators of the community. But in special cases the admins of the user instances should deal with banning. So the admins of the community instances have to deal with reports, but the solution is at the hand of the user instance admins. It’s the same as dealing with users from other instances, but an edge case.

My recommendations would be something like this: (I’m just a random user, so it’s just my point of view)

• Shut down the fully inactive instances. Noone will even even notice it
• Merge the semi active communities to a handful of instances, like sports and technology… . I’ve seen active communities move instances, it would be possible, take a look how !europe@feddit.de migrated to !europe@feddit.org. Give enough time for subscribers to notice and subscribe to the new one.
• Allow registration of moderators on these instances, so they can work around the current limitations of moderation tools. Maybe an invite only solution or something like this.
• You could find help more easily if you look for admins for 3-4 instances instead of for 18 instances.

This would be useful for you and other admins, because you would have to admin much less number of instances. They would be still considered small instances, compared to big one, so you still not at the “too big to fail” level. For users it would help community discovery, there are overlap between followers of similar topics, e.g. I have friends who follow both European football and NBA at the same time, I read both selfhosting related topics and about general tech support, etc…

I don’t like this kind of community/user instance because 2 instances have to deal with the same problem. E.g. a rogue user can troll on most community instances until they are banned by their user instance.

The instance fragmentatios is not as big issue as it’s quite easy to create new accounts. There was a thread about this some days ago here, I also use different accounts on different instances for different topics.
