Current best lemmy clients
  • Yeah, spoiler tags are the one big feature that is missing. There are also some minor things on the moderation side that aren't there. For example, admin accounts don't have a full list of options in the moderation menu.

  • [Restored] Accidental 2FA removal for LW users
  • I am guessing a large portion of those might be inactive accounts as well. When the reddit exodus was at its peak, there were definite issues with the way 2FA worked in lemmy. I think it got reset at one point due to changes made in subsequent lemmy versions and users had to re-enable it.

  • What are your best job hunting platforms
  • This lines up with my experience. The job listings look the same across LinkedIn and Indeed. Last time I was job hunting, Indeed had a better search function, so I was able to find relevant postings there more easily. These days, I am not actively searching, but I do periodically check on some companies' websites within my field to see if anything pops up that might be worth a shot at.

  • Hi friends!
  • One recent example from a game that I ran is that my players caused a dust explosion using flour. I had to do some quick googling to figure out how big that might be to best gauge the damage (turns out it can be pretty big), but I awarded inspiration for the creativity (despite getting caught up in the blast themselves). This was also a bit of irony since the people they were attacking were assassins that ran a bakery as cover.

  • My Deer Friend Nokotan - A Lemmy Community all about anime "My Deer Friend Nokotan"
  • Sorry for not being clear. I was referring to the discussion threads created by @rikka@ani.social in the anime community. So far, she has been creating discussion threads for the episodes in the general community (episode 4 link for reference). In the past, I have disabled these posts for certain shows if there is a dedicated community to the show that wants to run their own discussion posts (!dungeonmeshi@ani.social did this for instance).

    Note if it wasn't clear: I am a mod of the anime community and the maintainer of the rikka bot.

  • The MBTA's new contactless fare readers are now live. Here are some dos and don'ts
  • I think the concern is that the reader might pick up a different payment form than the one you intend on using if there are multiple in close proximity. I highly doubt it will charge multiple times, as the sort of interlock you are describing is pretty standard NFC stuff. Using the same form of payment as you make transfers is needed to make sure you aren't charged extra.

  • The MBTA's new contactless fare readers are now live. Here are some dos and don'ts
  • For myself, I use the commuter rail and a monthly bus/subway pass, so this isn't terribly helpful. I haven't really kept up with this plan though, are they planning on including monthly passes in this in the future? Some transit systems let you put a pass into a mobile wallet and scan from that, so the tech is there.

  • My Deer Friend Nokotan - A Lemmy Community all about anime "My Deer Friend Nokotan"
  • Feel free to make a promo post over in !anime@ani.social as well. Good luck with things! I don't want to switch it up partway through the season, but if there is ever a season 2 and you want to run your own episode threads instead of the bot-created ones, let me know.

  • Why do so many people use NGINX?
  • Some good answers in here already. It boils down to a couple points for me:

    • Back when I started selfhosting, it was either nginx or apache, and I found nginx better and easier to set up
    • All the nginx knowledge I learned years ago still works just the same as it did back then, so why potentially mess things up by switching if it all still works
    • Basically every project has an example nginx config for reference, that can't be said about other proxies
    • It is easier to find support online for edge cases that might pop up with nginx due to the ubiquity of its use and years of history
  • NYC to Boston in 100 minutes: a high-speed train proposal picks up steam
  • I would love for this map to come to fruition as I live right by one of the stations they have proposed upgrading to a higher speed line. However, I am not holding my breath. Building a whole new HSR line is extraordinarily expensive and time consuming, just look at CA's ongoing project to get a taste. The density of development in the Northeast means it would probably be even more troublesome (even if it makes it more needed). If they can't build the North-South link, then they aren't going to build this any time soon.

  • Experience with IONOS?
  • I didn't have a VPS with them, but long ago I had a couple domains through them. One of them had an issue with the auto-renewal and I never got a notification of any kind, only finding out when they had taken ownership of the domain, advertising it for sale. Then they wanted some way, way higher amount of money for me to buy it back. So, I don't have any domains with them any more.

    This was years and years ago though, so they might be better now.

  • Argentina - Colombia: most undeserved victory ever
  • Conmebol and Concacaf games are full of gamesmanship and this game had remarkably little of it compared to other games from this same Copa. I mean, did you watch Colombia's second half against Uruguay? Every team does it when they can. Also, it is very clear from the shot of Messi's incredibly swollen ankle during extra time that he actually fucked it up. Acting doesn't make your ankle look like that.

  • Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy?
  • I think anime has become one of the more active niche interest communities on lemmy. The most active general anime community is !anime@ani.social (shameless plug).

    In general, myself and some of the other more active posters have been migrating and encouraging other related communities to be located on the ani.social instance. Part of the reason behind that is that it lets users that just really don't want to see any anime content (see this thread) simply block the instance and move on.

    I know all about anime hot takes though. I have previously professed to hating Clannad so much I couldn't watch past the first couple of episodes.

  • Should half naked pictures of anime characters be marked NSFW on Lemmy?
  • Where the NSFW line is drawn varies depending on the moderator and community. If there are communities that are either not moderated actively enough or draw that line too far to one side for your taste, then don't subscribe or block those communities. Those tools exist there for a reason.

    I would not consider the post you have linked to as NSFW. I also think that the NSFW tag has evolved over time, so perhaps my definition of NSFW just doesn't line up with what today's standard should be. There are plenty of anime characters in very popular shows that have a character design similar to that. There are big billboards of them some places to promote the show. Just because it might be NSFW in your work environment/region, does not mean it is everywhere.

  • Shoko Server not recognizing any anime
  • I use Sonarr, but it does mess up sometimes for shows even when you mark it as an anime to use absolute numbering. It most often happens with older shows that have lots of OVAs that are sometimes listed as episodes and sometimes listed as specials, depending on the database. So, if you are having Sonarr manage your downloads, then it can grab the wrong episode if its database (I think TVDB) and the release (usually using MAL numbering) disagree.
