  • Years ago I was dual-booting with Ubuntu just to try out whatever this Linux thing was that all the nerds were talking about. Liked it and played around with it, but for whatever reason I wanted to go back to just Windows, I needed the space I had partitioned off or something, can’t remember why. So I just uninstalled or deleted the bootloader somehow (maybe I just deleted the Linux partition and expected the space to clear up like normal).

    Go to restart the computer… oh removed. Ohshotohremovedohremovedohremoved.







  • I’m not going to pretend to understand the technical details, but would it make more sense if Instances were treated more like subreddits? So instead of the main Lemmy.world instance, we’d have gaming.world, news.world, nsfw.world, woodworking.world, and so on. So then things would be distributed more evenly across the fediverse and it would be harder for a single for a DDOS attack to take out the entire system all at once? Or does the architecture of the whole thing not make any sense doing it like that? Would each instance then have to setup their own server or something to make it work?


  • Yea, I needed a place to go after reddit, I found a place to go and I have a clean conscious. People still using reddit are the ones with the problem. Lemmy isn’t as massive as reddit, but it was never going to get as ginormous as reddit in that short of time. It’s fine for what I want. It feels a bit rough around the edges, but I’m assuming part of that is growing pains and it’ll grow into whatever it needs to be in time.
