How large a flag are you flying? Simple window mount flag holders should work for flags up to about 18" x 12". For a bigger flag, if you have a trailer hitch installed you can get hitch mounted flag pole holders.

Nice flag, btw.

A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment

The modlog shows you were having quite a spat with some mods 5 months ago.

Nothing else

Again, the modlog shows otherwise.

Why bring this up now, five months later?

Ooo, this looks cool. So it’s a self-hosted file management tool that lets you follow other users and share files with them?

I, too, am old.

You cannot run through a campsite. You can only ran through it.

Because it’s past tents.

After digging into it, we banned the two sh.itjust.works accounts mentioned in this post. A quick search of the database did not reveal any similar accounts, though that doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

You need to grease some palms. Lay it on thick.

Also lotide, if you’re into a minimalist text-only interface.

For a FOSS but not federated option there’s Discuit.

There are so many politics communities, but before you mentioned this I didn’t realize how concentrated they are on .ml and .world. These look like the most-subscribed USA and World politics communities that aren’t on .ml or .world:

!politics@hexbear.net
!politics@beehaw.org
!usa@midwest.social
!worldpolitics@lemmy.ca
!geopolitics@lemmy.run
!politics@sh.itjust.works

[Edit: Though I listed them here, the hexbear and beehaw communities are not accessible to large swaths of the Lemmy user base due to instance defederations.]

The community was removed from lemmy.ml by their admins. Here’s the reason in the modlog:

Unmoderated duplicate of /c/usa . Any world-related can use /c/worldnews

I’ll use datum planes rather than drawing directly on object faces

I haven’t had a chance to try FreeCAD, but this is generally good advice in other parametric CAD tools, too. Create “skeleton” features early on (planes, datums, simple sketches) and define later features by referencing the skeleton as much as possible. It avoids creating a long chain of feature dependencies where Feature A changes and breaks Feature B, which breaks Feature C, etc.

I like Sky Map. Originally developed by Google, open-sourced in 2012.

It varies greatly depending on your setup.

Lemmy.world’s monthly expenses are around €1,200. Though that includes hosting more services that just Lemmy.

For comparison, it looks like £30 per month for lemmy.zip:

And lemmy.ca is around CAD$30 per month:

At one point Reddthat.com was considering moving to a bigger server that would cost A$150-200 per month:

Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.

I think GDP in this case, but yeah, same idea. It makes sense that wealthy countries with good infrastructure are going to be high on the list.

Country (nominal GDP rank)
USA (1)
France (7)
Germany (4)
Japan (3)
Finland (47)
Canada (9)
Netherlands (18)
Russia (8)
UK (6)

High-GDP countries that are notably missing are China (2, users are limited by the Great Firewall) and India (5, still building their infrastructure).

I wonder why Finland is so high on the list? Good for them, regardless.

Tangentially related: if you see something that needs to be addressed now, like CSAM or gore, notify an instance admin via Matrix. That tool can send push notifications, so you’re more likely to get a prompt response. Some instances also have public Matrix chats you can use.

You can find the Matrix account info for Lemmy users by clicking the “Send Secure Message” button in a user’s profile.

Thanks for the info! I didn’t know any apps could do that.

Using a browser (not a phone app) go to the instance’s main page and look for the Communities button. That will give you a list of communities. Filtering by Local lists all the communities on that instance.

Here are some examples:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities
https://sh.itjust.works/communities

Viewing a Lemmy account’s posts from Mastodon seems to work. Going the other way, viewing a Mastodon account’s toots from Lemmy, does not work.

Pixelfed can see Lemmy and Mastodon accounts, but it does not show the posts or comments from those accounts. The reverse is also true: Lemmy and Mastodon can see Pixelfed accounts but not their content.

At least these were my results the last time I experimented with cross-platform interaction. Maybe there are some tricks I have not learned yet.

For anyone unaware of the the spam issue mentioned in the link, it has been ongoing for a week. Some person or group is generating accounts on open Mastodon instances and spamming crap all over. My instance’s admin bot caught two three new spam accounts while I was typing this post. I know admins at other instances have put similar protections in place.

If you haven’t seen the spam, thank your mods and admins!
