This makes so little sense to me. One would think that an app would have a wider user base as well as being easier to take down. All they would need to do is run the app and see where it phones home to, then send a C&D to the distribution platform(s).

I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

You want a chair that makes it look like you’re about to lay off the bottom 10% performers.

It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down a highway.

Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.

I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.

Those fucks forcing money into their pockets from science are the absolute dregs of society. I actually respect angel investors more since maybe they made a good decision with their money (that feels gross to just type, even!). The fact that a select few companies are able to make science pay to win is absolutely sickening.

This is coming from someone that never even graduated college, let alone spending time in academia.

AT Launcher for Minecraft has a native Linux package. I know that isn’t the particular launcher you asked for, but it works great.

I mean, yeah. That isn’t necessarily the point here, though. There’s a lot of frustration surrounding the need for private trackers and we could maybe solve that here.

maybe we make a usenet group as well?

I mean sure, that would be great, but I don’t have that.

It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.

OK, this bot is very useful. Thanks to … whoever.

You are quite right in that it is not a cheap VMS. Since I don’t know 100% how to set thing up, though, the cost might be worth my time.

I may just pay for it and report back as a service to the community.

Ok, but I’ve only a remote idea of what you’re saying. Can you elaborate?

Thanks, I’ll look into this stuff.

I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

Yeah, that’s partially why I’d need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I’d be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I’ve paid, there’s not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.
