Let's see... Just today, in their presentation for the next patch, a child character got a new outfit, and a teaser that the next archon (god) is a kid - again. xD

I sometimes wonder wtf they're doing, ngl...

I just wanted to update to the latest version, and noticed that there does not seem to be a tag for 0.17.4.

Any particular reason or should I use a specific tag in my docker-compose.yml instead?

Thanks!

I am actually surprised IPFS isn't leveraged more for this.

This is quite neat. Been using DaddyLive to watch Bundesliga with Kodi, wrapped in some random extension... Rising Tides, I think it was?

No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)

...and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet "used to" work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.

Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^

Spent a while there now. Yep, its Bitcoin, everywhere.

Though if you doomscroll long enough (heh), you MIGHT find someone worth following and reading. ...might.

So, how do I buy a cola? (drachennetz.com)

I have spent a good amount of time gawking at Nostr and the posts going on there - with all the zapping and whatnot. Think they just hit a millionth zap or something?

Anyway. Whenever I hear people talk about crypto, I just walk away. Because so far, whenever I read an article about the usecases of Bitcoin or anyothercoin, it is filled with "[could] be used for". But "could" is not "can".

So, I would like to ask here: How do I buy a Cola with bitcoin?

Imagine that all I have is an Android phone, a few Euros in my bank and an absolute thirst - right now. What do I do to pay with Bitcoin to buy me that Cola?

(I know the described situation is a little extreme. Basically, I want to know the fastest, most "convenient" way it is done. Not could - but can.)

...and still won't pay a coffee! :D

I'd chirp you a yes. Though, more for fun than anything, I have been called a "featherly" before x)

Also - if you wonder what my species is, it's in the name and avatar ^v^

Selfhosted Vaultwarden and the Bitwarden apps.

Gives me access to all my things basically any time and anywhere. Its pretty neat. And if I don't want it anymore, I can export the data and just nuke it - and it's gone. :)

Was thinking the same - this looks like a prime usecase for IPFS, honestly.

Thoughts on Nostr? (drachennetz.com)

The past few days, I have been heavily experimenting with Nostr as another alternative to centralized services. And, I am honestly impressed by just how good it is. The protocol is quite simple and works very fast.

However, the almost constant bugging of the integration with idontcarecoins is a little annoying. Easy to ignore, but still always there.

What do you think about Nostr? Have you tried it?

[-] ingwiephoenix@drachennetz.com 11 points 1 year ago

Honestly, the interesting tidbits you learn as you dig yourself into that rabbit hole is actually quite intriguing and fun. So yeah - I'd say it is also quite "fun" for the process itself!

I just finished setting up my instance and so far, it works quite well. But I have noticed, whilst observing the logs, that activity trickles in rather slowly, although I have a very good uplink - my VPS is situated with Hetzner, and, as far as their marketing speak goes, I should have a rough 20gbit. I don't quite buy it, but it should be plenty fast for communicating. Also, 4-core arm64 box.

I saw that there are admin settings that can be done. Got any recommendations on how to improve my Lemmy's performance?

Thanks a lot!

C: What if you used emojis for pointer (*) and deref (&) signs?

[-] ingwiephoenix@drachennetz.com 2 points 1 year ago

Good call! That said, I am still going to have to copy-paste a lot of community handles... Oh well, it works for now, I guess.

Thanks for the idea!
