Finally found it. Darmok and Jalad would be proud.
Apparently this is the name of a construction/engineering firm here in Lisbon Portugal. Amusing coincidence
He could blanket pardon marijuana offenders and direct the DEA to reschedule marijuana, or deschedule it altogether. He has the authority to do both.
Can’t understand why you’re being downvoted. This is quite literally the collective assessment of NATO.
This comment is both fucking hilarious and shittily depressing at the same time. I don’t know which emotion is stronger.
Makes sense, Switzerland wouldn’t want to accidentally do the right thing.
Sage advice! I’ve also never applied for a job beyond my first one - always just followed a friend and former coworker into a new company. Connections really do open doors.
They’re too busy beating up unarmed black civilians.
To be fair, your degree and GPA can be helpful in landing your very first job. After that though you’re right, nobody cares about anything but your work experience.
I definitely don’t want conservatives to win in any western country, but this sounds suspiciously like vote buying or bribery..
Is it pure coincidence that she kind of looks like Ivanka?
This makes us look weak and hypocritical to the rest of the world. Stop the unjust war of aggression and annexation! No wait, I meant the other one. This one is a-OK.
Indeed that's what I meant, no intentional going for walks, just organically more walking as taking the train and walking is more convenient than driving almost every time.
Likely so but your Conservative Party hasn’t shown the fascist cancer of our Republicans. I haven’t seen Poilievre say anything to suggest he wants to end democracy or tear down the government. That’s a pretty fucking low bar but at least you’re not at that level.
Chemtrails!!! They’re turning the freakin’ frogs gay!!!!111

Just the 2020s? More like all of American history!
This seems particularly dumb, they didn’t look at the disastrous “remain in Mexico” policy across the pond and realize it’s unrealistic?
Also, Albania is an EU membership candidate undergoing accession negotiations so like, what? These super expensive facilities aren’t gonna be “outside the EU” forever
It’s time for another episode of “Everything I Don’t Like Is Socialism” with Donnie Temper Tantrum!
I don’t think he’s being naive, he knows Trump is going to hang him out to dry, and he can’t win without ongoing US support. So if he’s come to the conclusion that defeat is inevitable, or at least that victory is impossible, then it makes sense to start posturing to that effect, to try to get the best outcome possible later at the negotiating table.
Books are for banning, not reading. Under His Eye.
Does this fall under protecting or serving?
Is there any partial immunity conferred by this? I wasn’t sure if monkeypox is a virus related enough for the vaccine to have that effect. The smallpox vaccine does nothing against chicken pox, for example
This community is moving to feddit.org/c/europa. This sub on Lemmyworld will be sunset in the coming weeks. Please update your subscriptions.
The main Fediverse community for Europe is located at !europe@feddit.org - please don’t submit many new posts to this sub on Lemmyworld. We are considering the board to be sunset and in a transition period for the next few weeks, after which it will be locked for new posts. Thanks.
...and we're back!
Sup lemmings!
As you probably noticed, this instance was dead for the majority of last week. Sorry about that. An update to the latest version using the official method was less than successful, and the documentation less than informative.
At any rate, the site is back up now, though I’d expect slowdowns over the next day or so as all that backlog from the fediverse filters in.
Sorry about that!
How do you mention a user on Lemmy?
Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?
Federation not currently working with non-Lemmy instances (kbin, mastodon, …)
Currently 👀 an upstream issue that’s preventing non-Lemmy instances from federating with us; this is preventing interacting with Kbin among other things. Hoping this will get merged in soon, otherwise I’ll probably have to monkey-patch our instance to get this working. Kbin has a large user base and so the ability for us to subscribe and participate in their communities (“magazines” in their parlance) is important to me.

My personal favourite: Port Old Fashioned
Do you like old fashioneds, and wine? This is the drink for you! I can't remember now where I got the idea, but I've been making them forever.
----
2-3 shots Bourbon whiskey (personal favourite: Jefferson's Reserve, the gentle alcohol notes but strong wood flavours blend gracefully into the wine notes!)
1 - 1.5 shots' worth of tawny port (don't need anything too good here but a basic 10 year Graham's or similar will do)
1 teaspoon simple syrup (take it easy on this since the Port itself will impart sweetness!)
1 big ass ice cube
1 maraschino cherry
Welcome to /c/mixology, a community to share and discuss your favourite cocktail recipes. Unique and home-brewed cocktail recipes are especially welcome!
I'm a fan of custom and unique twists on cocktails; and if you're reading this, hopefully you are too! Let's move beyond the typical basic stuff and discuss more interesting recipes that have a special place in your heart, particularly if you've concocted them yourself, or put a twist on them.
Looking for a mobile experience for Lemmy? Try WefWef, a near-exact clone of Apollo for iOS
It’s a free progressive web app; visit https://wefwef.app in Safari, go to the action/share sheet and click Add To Home Screen. You’ll find it’s a near carbon copy of Apollo was on iOS. To use it with your account here, just go to Login and where it asks you which server, scroll down to select Other and use “lemmy.federate.cc” as the server. Voila!
Looking for forums on other Lemmies?
Don’t forget to browse by “Subscribed” or “All” instead of “Local”. If you want to search for or subscribe to a remote community, you can search either for the full URL of the remote community inside our search box, or search with the syntax !community@server.com
E-mail now available
I've set up email at the federate.cc domain today, backed by Migadu, a lightweight privacy-focused email service out of Switzerland.
If any members would like an e-mail at this domain, either send me an email (sparky@), or DM me here on Lemmy. They're not created automatically by default, as I have to manually go do something adminny to make them happen.
But upon request, an email @federate.cc is open to anyone who wants one.
Some caveats:
- This isn't Gmail, we're poor. Assume you have something like 500mb-1gb of storage in your account. Not a good place for large attachments, etc.
- You're subject to the same code of conduct as our instances, e.g., if you start sending spam or harassment, you'll get shut down.
Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money
Just thought I'd share this since it's working for me at my home instance of federate.cc, even though it's not documented in the Lemmy hosting guide.
The image server used by Lemmy, pict-rs, recently added support for object storage like Amazon S3, instead of serving images directly off the disk. This is potentially interesting to you because object storage is orders of magnitude cheaper than disk storage with a VM.
By way of example, I'm hosting my setup on Vultr, but this applies to say Digital Ocean or AWS as well. Going from a 50GB to a 100GB VM instance on Vultr will take you from $12 to $24/month. Up to 180GB, $48/month. Of course these include CPU and RAM step-ups too, but I'm focusing only on disk space for now.
Vultr's object storage by comparison is $5/month for 1TB of storage and includes a separate 1TB of bandwidth that doesn't count against your main VM, plus this content is served off of Vultr's CDN instead of your instance, meaning even less CPU load for you.
This is pretty easy to do. What we'll be doing is diverging slightly from the official Lemmy ansible setup to add some different environment variables to pict-rs.
After step 5, before running the ansible playbook, we're going to modify the ansible template slightly:
cd templates/
cp docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml.original
Now we're going to edit the docker-compose.yml with your favourite text editor, personally I like micro but vim, emacs, nano or whatever will do..
favourite-editor docker-compose.yml
Down around line 67 begins the section for pictrs, you'll notice under the environment section there are a bunch of things that the Lemmy guys predefined. We're going to add some here to take advantage of the new support for object storage in pict-rs 0.4+:
At the bottom of the environment section we'll add these new vars:
- PICTRS__STORE__TYPE=object_storage - PICTRS__STORE__ENDPOINT=Your Object Store Endpoint - PICTRS__STORE__BUCKET_NAME=Your Bucket Name - PICTRS__STORE__REGION=Your Bucket Region - PICTRS__STORE__USE_PATH_STYLE=false - PICTRS__STORE__ACCESS_KEY=Your Access Key - PICTRS__STORE__SECRET_KEY=Your Secret Key
So your whole pictrs section looks something like this: https://pastebin.com/X1dP1jew
The actual bucket name, region, access key and secret key will come from your provider. If you're using Vultr like me then they are under the details after you've created your object store, under Overview -> S3 Credentials. On Vultr your endpoint will be something like sjc1.vultrobjects.com, and your region is the domain prefix, so in this case sjc1.
Now you can install as usual. If you have an existing instance already deployed, there is an additional migration command you have to run to move your on-disk images into the object storage.
You're now good to go and things should pretty much behave like before, except pict-rs will be saving images to your designated cloud/object store, and when serving images it will instead redirect clients to pull directly from the object store, saving you a lot of storage, cpu use and bandwidth, and therefore money.
Hope this helps someone, I am not an expert in either Lemmy administration nor Linux sysadmin stuff, but I can say I've done this on my own instance at federate.cc and so far I can't see any ill effects.
Happy Lemmy-ing!

What does it mean when all your subscriptions on a single server (lemmy.world in this case) are stuck at “subscribe pending”?
Not sure if this is truly an issue with lemmy.world or just a general question about Lemmy, or maybe even my own instance, but this seems a fair place to start. On my home instance, for some reason all subscriptions to @lemmy.world communities are perpetually stuck as “Subscribe Pending”, and I notice that not all of the posts and content have shown up. Is this something that should “eventually” resolve itself, or is there some action I should take on my end as the instance administrator? Thanks/apologies in advance.
Just wanted to say, awesome work and progress so far!
Absolutely loving the app so far, and I'm impressed by the rollout speed, seems like every time I launch it, there's a new build with more feature completion. Keep up the amazing work!!

> we are funded entirely through membership dues
> there is no advertising, data selling, or any such corporate baloney here
> we host instances of popular distributed, federated software platforms, providing a carefully-tended "home instance" / "homeserver" across several major platforms
> we intend for our services to be a home for upstanding netizens, interested in participating respectfully and in good faith across the fediverse
> in general, everyone is welcome, though we reserve the right to refuse membership to anyone suspected of prior misbehaviour across the fediverse
> we want to encourage quality over quantity and prefer a small, tight-knit community of active contributors; there is no aspiration to become a large public instance
