CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.workOPtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•How do I prune my Lemmy instance?English
1·6 months agoI’m not sure which version of pict-rs it is. The Yunohost package is based on Lemmy 19.11, so I presume the pict-rs version is whichever one normally ships with that. Looking through lemmy-ynh/conf/pict-rs.toml, I see a commented reference to version 0.4.1.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you could move anywhere to minimize the impact on you of the worldwide rise of fascism...English
10·8 months agoMost of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it’s probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do the likes of JD Vance and Drumpf rationalise no more DEI when they have wives who are DEI? It makes no sense.English
29·8 months agoVance himself was a DEI student at Yale. Hypocrisy doesn’t matter.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?English
1·8 months agoIf you can afford the down payment, it really makes a lot more sense to buy your home than rent it.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anti-Leninists, what is something you'd like to tell tankies that we actually never heard?English
97·8 months agoEvery day; all sorts of stuff from simply feeding people to high level assassinations, including a POTUS. Anarchism is a means by which the people can embarrass the government and compel corrective action to its deficiencies.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anti-Leninists, what is something you'd like to tell tankies that we actually never heard?English
5·8 months agoFor a while, that’s probably how I would have sorted myself, but how are the anarcho-syndicalists on taking power from capital and wielding it? How does that differ from Lenin’s guidance? (Part of why I don’t call myself an anti-Leninist is that I haven’t read any Lenin lol.)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anti-Leninists, what is something you'd like to tell tankies that we actually never heard?English
181·8 months agoMaybe anarchists are necessary to help keep the revolutionary state honest. However, I don’t know if I’d go so far as to call myself an anti-Leninist.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•should i put a disclaimer in my repos?English
31·9 months agoYes, include a disclaimer and consider using the Peer Production License as well, which compells for-profit, non-cooperative developers to compensate you for using your work.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Aliens arrive on Earth like Columbus set on the Carribean. What do you think they call it?English
1·9 months agoProbably some Italian gibberish.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to post to your own profile?English
1·9 months agoMake your own community and cross post. Cross post, cross post, cross post. Some people complain about it, but they’re being too precious about their timelines. It really makes Lemmy better.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your view on people who don't adopt?English
8·9 months agoAdopting children is more difficult than giving birth to them in some cases. Also, the nice thing about reproducing your own children is that you can be sure that you’re not effectively human trafficking them or otherwise participating in family separation schemes. Idealism gets in the way of us realizing that adoption is kind of an industry with some dark aspects to it. Of course, good people choose adoption for good reasons and I am supportive of them. However, I don’t think there’s any good basis for judging negatively parents who choose biological reproduction. The only logic for that is Malthusian, which is a worthless, repeatedly failed doomsday prophecy as far as I am concerned.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would the world look like if billionaires actually helped the people?English
2·9 months agoIf we’re counting property values, millionaires are a dime a dozen in some areas.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•as a basic answer, what resources might i need to create my own lemmy instance?English
4·9 months agoYou need a computer and an Internet connection that isn’t too restrictive. Install Yunohost on it (or on a VM) and then the Lemmy app. It’s not perfect, but it will work. That’s what I do.

11·9 months agoI don’t think I’ve ever seen a billionaire IRL.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?English
1·9 months agoProbably because it is hosted on an old PC over a not so fast internet connection.








So, if I remove a community, does it save my instance from any work or storage related to getting new posts and whatnot from that community?
