That's because, currently, the community stats that you see in the sidebar are only from your instance -- community stats are currently not federated. Afaik, federated community stats are going to be implemented in 0.19.
More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds -- this also encompasses one's choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account -- just come up with a username, and off you go -- however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns. How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?

Hm, while that does seem to fit, it feels as if its intent doesn't necessarily align. To me, that is more of a description of it's purpose rather than what it does.

I’d probably tighten the first one to “It is a thing that produces stuff.”
That omits descriptive information though. The example includes the fact that the thing "works" which is how it "produces stuff".
Maybe it’s a dialect thing?
It is certainly a grammatical issue.
For example: > It is a thing that works producing stuff. This feels wrong to me, but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly is wrong about it. It seems like it's trying to be a participle phrase, but it's not necessarily modifying the current state of "it", and is, instead, describing what "it" is. If it is, indeed, a participle phrase, then it should be able to be written as > Producing stuff, it is a thing that works. But, to me, this doesn't seem correct either, so it leads me to believe that the very structure of the sentence is incorrect.

While it may be RISC-V, that doesn't exactly satisfy this post's inquiriy. A CPU that uses the RISC-V instruction set may still have malicious hardware contained within it -- think of the Intel managment Engine, for example.

RISC-V is just an instruction set -- same idea as x86. While it is, of course, important to also have an open instuction set, that is somewhat separate from this post's intention. I am referring to the physical manufacture of semiconductors, RISC-V, or otherwise.
Currently, only one company in the world -- [ASML](https://www.asml.com/en) -- has the technological capability necessary for the creation of photolithography machines which are sufficient for the production of modern semiconductor devices. What I'm wondering is at what point does semiconductor manufacturing become practical, or even feesible for small organizations, or independents? One must be able to surpass the cost of the machines, and the resources necessary to manufacture them. I presume that a company like ASML is also extremely picky -- willfully, or by regulation, or otherwise -- about who they lend their technology to. --- I'm not sure if this is the right community for this sort of post. Please let me know if not, and if there is a more suitable place to put it.
I am referring to both the design, and the independent, and auditable manufacture of the CPU. It should be noted that such a CPU needn't fully compete with modern ARM, Intel, AMD, etc. CPUs, but it would be an incredible boon to have a fully trustworthy piece of hardware, even if it is considerably lower in it's strength. For specifics, let's say a CPU that could run a lightweight Linux distro at a "tolerable" speed. Creating the designs for the CPU, of course while still difficult, is, most likely, the most feesbile aspect -- I presume it would "just" consist of writing the Verilog, or some other hardware description language to describe the CPU's function. The manufacture, however, is a substantial obstacle. Modern photolithography is, quite litterally, at the very forefront of human technological creation. I am just hoping that turning back the clock perhaps 20 years on the technological complexity might reduce the barrier to entry.

Is that a cross? I was under the impression that it was a small microphone strung around his neck for the interview's audio. Although, it is quite possible that such sizes of microphones that could record this level of quality didn't even exist back then -- I'm not very familiar with the technology of that period.

Upvoting one's own comment is default behaviour on Lemmy. When a user makes a post, or comment on Lemmy, it gets automatically upvoted by that user.
On the side bar it lists the following: > - [Matrix/Element]Dead > - Discord "Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?
In the official browser app, and any of the mobile apps that I have examined so far, it seems that you are only ever able to see the total number of likes, or dislikes that a post has, and you are not able to see exactly who upvoted, or downvoted the post. Does ActivityPub, or Lemmy track this information at all, or does it just keep a tally?
I'm not sure if this is the right community for this sort of post. I couldn't think of any other community to post it in. If there does exist a more appropriate place to post it, then please let me know.

I have little to comment on regarding the motivation for your post -- I am not up to date with what's happening in the EU -- but, for an encrypted messaging-app alternative to Signal, I can recommend Matrix.
Kalcifer Now • 93%
I caution mentioning both Matrix, and Element as if they are synonymous -- they are not (I'm quite certain that that wasn't your intent, but the usage of the forward slash could be interpreted as such). It may lead to confusion for newcomers. It would essentially be the same as saying "I recommend ActivityPub/Thunder" to someone who you want to introduce to Lemmy. Matrix is the protocol, and Element is simply a client that interacts with the Matrix protocol.
I personally think that it's sufficient to recommend Matrix if one is mentioning chat-app alternatives. Of course, nothing is stopping one from also recommending a client, but I don't believe that it's entirely necessary.

Israel running out of military personnel is hardly the only possible explanation.

I believe that the addition of an edit history would be a massive boon to the usefulness of Lemmy on the whole. A common problem with forums is the relatively low level of trust that users can have in another's content. When one has the ability to edit their posts, and comments this invites the possibility of misleading the reader -- for example, one can create a comment, then, after gaining likes, and comments, reword the comment to either destroy the usefulness of the thread on the whole, or mislead a future reader. The addition of an edit history would solve this issue. Lemmy already tracks that a post was edited (I point your attention to the little pencil icon that you see in a posts header in the browser version of the lemmy-ui). What I am describing is the expansion of this feature. The format that I have envisioned is something very similar to what [Element](https://element.io/) does. For example:  What this image is depicting is a visual of what parts of the post were changed at the time that it was edited, and a complete history of every edit made to the post -- sort of like a "git diff". I would love to hear the feedback of all Lemmings on this idea for a feature -- concerns, suggestions, praise, criticisms, or anything else! --- This post is the result of the current (2023-10-03T07:37Z) status of [this](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3803) GitHub post.

I recently found that there is a room setting to enable the generation of URL previews. This makes me wonder, though: Who is generating the thumbnails? Does the server generate them, and then send the images back (this is an obvious privacy, and security vulnerability)? Does a user generate them locally, and send them to the other recipient (this is what Signal does)? Does the receiver generate them on their end (this is also a potential security vulnerability)? EDIT (2023-10-01T21:38Z): I found [this documentation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.37/url_previews.html) which outlines the possible methods, but, from what I can see, it doesn't specify what one is actually used in practice. I was also unable to find any information in [the Matrix spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.8/). EDIT (2023-10-01T21:41Z): In [this set of release notes for Synapse 1.45.1](https://matrix.org/blog/2021/10/20/synapse-1-45-1-released/), I found the following: > Note that URL previews are generated server-side, and thus generally disabled in encrypted rooms to avoid leaking information about message content to your homeserver. You may need to adjust the room's settings to see the new oEmbed previews. If this is true, and all thumbnails are generated serverside, this is an enourmous security, and privacy risk. EDIT (2023-10-01T22:18Z): Further research has found the following two open issues: - [Option to generate URL previews at the receiving client, not the server](https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/1138) - [Consider making the sender generate url previews, as with e2e thumbnails](https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/issues/1139) This confirms my suspicion -- at the very least, for Element (I have still been unable to find any official standardized method within the Matrix protocol). My PSA that I would provide, then, to any who are reading this, is to not enable thumbnail generation, as it is a major privacy, and security vulnerability.

## Workaround A workaround that I decided to go with was to simply extend my backup of the nextcloud snap to simply include the entirety of `/var/snap/nextcloud` instead of just taking the data directory, and the dump of the database. If I restore `/var/snap/nextcloud`, everything is immediately restored to its previous working order. This seems to accomplish what I want. I still have no idea what was causing the previous issue, though. I'm thinking that it might be that some important files, or directories are being left out in the previous backup that nextcloud is expecting to be present, but I'm really not sure. --- ## Original Post I have been scratching my head for hours over this -- I'm really not sure what the problem could be. I have nextcloud installed as a Snap on Ubuntu Server. Here's how I went about restoring the backup (fresh install of nextcloud): 1. Copy over the data: `# rsync -Aax data-backup data-directory` 2. Drop the existing database: `# nextcloud.mysql-client -e "DROP DATABASE nextcloud"` 3. Create a new database: `# nextcloud.mysql-client -e "CREATE DATABASE nextcloud"` 4. Restore the dumped database: `# nextcloud.mysql-client nextcloud < database-dump` When I log in to nextcloud in the browser, it initially appears that it worked fine: calendar data, task data, contacts, etc. are all properly loaded, and the images viewer is displaying images; however, when you look at the files tab, there's nothing there, and, when you try to create a folder, it spits out an error saying "Unable to create folder". If I run `nextcloud.occ files:scan --all` it can see all the files in the data directory just fine, it's just not able to display them in the files taband I cannot figure out why. I would really appreciate any help, ideas, or suggestions.
