Its niches are nowhere near as strong as reddit though. The only reason I can’t ditch reddit is small hobby subs and stuff like that. Their alternatives on lemmy are just not good enough, because of a hideous combination of lack of users and fragmentation.

What is “best experience” though? It’s such a subjective thing. For you it might be pushing a lever back and forth. For every one person like you, I bet there are hundreds who’d rather leave that menial task to the car. Manual transmission can quickly stop being “fun and engaging” and become a chore, especially if you drive through traffic regularly.

I, or rather my left leg, personally do not consider manual transmission as a good experience at all. I also think paying much less for fuel is also a very good experience for my wallet. Though of course I don’t drive a Lamborghini or even a nice M4, so there’s that.

Plenty of brands stopped offering manual variants of plenty of models. IIRC BMW practically begged people to stop asking for manual variants, saying it just does not make any sense to mess with the supply chain and the production line and the car itself just to put an objectively inferior transmission inside it.

Go to the videos of 1.5+ years old songs and get one dollar bill every time you find a “still listening to it in <time>” comment.

I have an idea to make this idea even wilder. Make the robot dog lift its front hind leg.

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

It doesn’t have discussions, it doesn’t offer pull request management with commented/annotated code reviews, it doesn’t have built-in ssh and key management features, no workflows, no authorization tools of any kind…

In short I find the “just use git itself lmao” to be an exceedingly weird thing to say and I find it even weirder that it gets said as often as it does and it gets upvoted so much. Git by itself is not very useful at all if there are more than one a half people working on the same code.

I agree, unfortunately. The only reason I stick with ddg over Google is because, unlike Google, they don’t smother me with captchas the moment I enter a VPN.

It never reset the setting for me either, but it definitely doesn’t always respect your wishes. It just goes ahead and opens certain links in edge despite the setting.

Nice. In a few more generations my home office should be able to double as my boiler room.

Because that’s physically impossible for tons of people. CGNATs are very common.

Well nothing is impossible, but it does complicate things very much. Certainly outside “just run a container and call it a day” territory.

That’s… a rather huge drawback. Why even pay for a shield at that point?

? How would that even work? Does openwrt have a feature where it can hack into the ISP’s infrastructure and modify their QoS settings?

DDNS won't save you from your ISP sticking your modem behind a cgnat and blocking critical ports. Which is not an uncommon scenario at all.

There are ways around it, but it's still not very straightforward. Also often with some significant limitations.

Lemmy is not special in that its actively contributing members are a small minority. The majority are, always have been, and always will be occasional participants at best. All social platforms are like that. That’s how reddit works, that’s how archlinux forums work, that’s how your local open mic poetry club works. I’m not going to apologize to anyone for not posting. I’m not interested.

Well I kinda care. Right now lemmy is kinda… boring? The content variety is very limited and the alternatives to the niche communities I enjoy(ed) on reddit are mostly just barren deserts. That’s all because of the rather small and relatively homogenous user base. It’s a bit too echo chamber-y too.

I also find ORMs and query builders much easier to debug than most mative SQL database queries. Mostly because native SQL error messages tend to be some of the most unhelpful, most undescriptive crap out there, and ORMs help a bit with that.

Seriously, fuck MySQL error messages. 9 times out of 10 shit boils down to “you got some sort of error somewhere roughly over there, go fix”.

I ran into that same DNS issue with pi-hole but in a docker container, and the (bandaid) solution was to put the container in host network mode too. But turns out it’s not an issue but a feature. By default pi-hole only responds to DNS queries from within its local network. The host machine’s LAN is an external network to the containers, unless you set the container’s network mode to host. Pi-hole does have a setting to make it respond to DNS queries from other networks as well, though. What I’m saying is, that might not have been a podman issue.

And is hilariously overkill for what OP seems to want. It’s a pretty large and heavy package that comes with a whole lot of (for OP unnecessary) features.
