    400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.

  • All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU

    Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.

    If that's really the definition, it's an awful definition and exactly why we shouldn't regulate stuff like this. Torx are objectively better than Philips or flathead in every possible way.

    Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

    I have have this problem as well and it seems to be getting steadily worse. I feel like it must be q bug, but haven't looked in to it much.

  • Satellites Are Rife With Basic Security Flaws
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    Are you speaking from first hand experience? I don't have experience with commercial satellites, but I can say from direct experience that scientific satellites and other spacecraft absolutely run a (real-time) traditional OS these days (and even a decade ago). That said, we do take serious measures to secure our vehicles. I don't think I want to say any more than that given the nature of the discussion.

  • 🍋 LemMon - Lemmy Monitor - Servers Status
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    I think you're underestimating the number of requests that a server can handle. Even my tiny instance currently sees dozens of requests every second and is very lightly loaded. A single request per minute is an immeasurably small load.

    This used to work. The latest block of shorts that they added in the subscriptions page that is not removable.

    Reddit Official App: "I am able to take mod actions on a sub I'm not a mod in."

    If I read the announcement correctly, that is implemented by a bot with mod privileges that parses comments and takes actions on users' behalf. I don't think it's practical to literally make every user a moderator.

  • How are comments federated?
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 90%

    AFAIK, you can't load comments on posts manually. You only get comments that are pushed to your instance after someone has subscribed to the community containing the post.

  • Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    The theis here does not really appear to be correct. Comparing MAU here, lemmy.world's MAU is flatter than the entire Lemmy platform's, implying that other platforms are seeing users drop off at a faster rate.

  • Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    There are a number of tools that monitor the fediverse. Here's one. The thesis does not appear to be correct though. As lemmy.world's monthly active users is stabalizing, Lemmy as a whole is declining.

  • Any way to tell how much exposure our posts get in other instances?
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    Good to see some anecdotal evidence that people have found us here. From an admin perspective, there's not much of a way to get insight in to this. As you pointed out, the ~300 subscribers is a good indication that there are users from other instances subscribed here. There's no easy way to tell how many other instances have at least one subscriber, but for every instance that does have at least one subscriber, posts from this community could show up in the "All" feed of anyone on the instance, so that has some potential to expand the reach somewhat as well.

    Same for me. Since I switched to Firebird/Firefox, no other browser has given me a reason to seriously consider switching.

    The radio means almost nothing to me. The ability to have my choice of mapping app on the dash is 90% of the value and absolutely indispensable.

  • Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:
  • Wintermute Wintermute Now 100%

    I agree. Sadly it seems the rest of the world does not. Hopefully as Lemmy matures we can get to a point where features are not pushed put half-baked because there aren't enough people willing and able to give thorough code reviews.

    So says literally everyone I have ever seen comment on the matter. Seriously, is there anyone out there that has tried CarPlay/AndroidAuto and said "eh, I don't see the point"?

  • I self-hosted an instance a when I got here a few days ago. The server costs me the same whether I use it or not, so I'd like to let as many people sign up as I can. I had a few people sign up already before join-lemmy.org was changed to require 5 monthly active users, but now my instance isn't shown there because it's below the limit. Any idea on how to attract a dozen or so users so that I can show up on the main join-lemmy page again?
