Looking back through your history, that’s a post by a user local to your instance. You can see it because you’re on the same instance.

If I understand how federation works correctly, posts don’t go directly to the instance a community is on when they are made. They are created locally on your own instance, and then federate out if/when they can. Since you’re both on the same instance, you can see the post and interact with it, but the post and your comments are (presumably) stuck in a queue trying to federate to the now defunct instance. Since lemm.ee is gone, it can’t federate out, so other people don’t see the post/comment on their instance.

I think that’s what’s going on.

BlueSky uses AT Protocol which is similar to how you break things down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol

Should be trivial to set up something like that if you’ve got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS …) and you’re done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort – but it’s still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

Watch out for burn in on the screen if you’re leaving it on all the time.

The snap came back

It wouldn’t stay away

It was on my desktop

Are you trying to write your own parsers for these formats or something like that? I don’t think I really get the issue you’re running into.

If you want to just display formatted text (esp. including HTML), you can use a browser (either as an embedded widget in a custom app, via an Electron app, or in a regular browser via an HTTP server) and generate the output on the fly. You don’t need to save the converted output if it’s fast enough to generate…

the contents of these tickets need to be encrypted at rest

If that’s the actual requirement – i.e encrypted at rest – then store the database on an encrypted volume instead of encrypting the messages themselves inside the DB. It will likely be more performant, and much, much easier to both implement and maintain while still providing good security.

Instances go down a lot – often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.

When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it’s hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.

I have a 1050 Ti running the 580 driver under Linux Mint; it works fine.

As another data point for you: it’s not just piefed. I’m seeing no link over here from reddthat (lemmy) either – just an image and body text (i.e. the TL;DR).

What did mbin do with images and links?

Linux Mint. No IDE – I just use xed (a fork of gedit) + gnome-terminal, both of which ship with the distro. Only plugin I use regularly for xed is “Code Comment” which lets you comment/uncomment blocks of code quickly.

I haven’t tried Nostr, so have no opinions on what the experience of actually using it is like, but cryptographic identity seems like it’d be a better way (technically speaking) of doing things than AP; tying everything to domain names has worked rather poorly – as we’ve seen repeatedly every time an instance goes offline…

I ended up on AP after jumping ship from reddit. I was on kbin first (since it was readable w/o JS and I liked the UI), and then later using the mlmym interface for lemmy as kbin because more unstable and eventually went offline.

reddthat is an instance hosted in Australia; so the answer to “how will the ban affect it” is “we already have an age limit in place”. That’s my point.

We discussed it in the community posts back in Dec 2024 when the law passed – February is when the sign up change happened and March was when the announcement went up. The UK’s bullshit may be what prompted the announcement happening then though.

On reddthat, we got this notice in an announcement back in March 2025:

Age Restriction

Effective immediately everyone on Reddthat needs to be 18 years old and futher interaction on the platform confirms you are over the age of 18 and agree with these terms.

If you are under the age of 18 you will need to delete your account under Settings

This has also been outlined in our signup form that has been updated around the start of February.

Wow, I didn’t realize. How time flies. 😲️

Thank you!

The fifth instance denied my application with, “read the coc and reapply”

Don’t know what instance that is specifically, but if their application process is anything like reddthat’s lemmy application process, there’s probably a bit in there about something specific you’re supposed to include in the application so they can weed out bots.

Is that… Hatsune Miku modded into Mario 64?

What is the best way to get Minecraft Education (not regular Minecraft) on Linux?

Not familiar with that version of Minecraft, but looking it up it seems like there’s a Windows version of it. Have you tried the Windows version under WINE/Proton already?

It looks like the connector is U.2 so I’d look for motherboards that indicate support for that explicitly. From a quick search, it looks like SuperMicro makes some. This is getting out of my area of expertise though; I just know the crazy drives exist…

Assume an unlimited budget for now, I just want to know what’s out there.

I mean, if you’re willing to pay the price of a car per SSD they go up to at least 122TB density per drive… (e.g. Solidigm SBFPF2BV0P12001 D5-P5336 – $16K~$20K depending on supplier from a quick search)

I don’t actually recommend that for personal use, but since you were curious about what’s out there, there’s some absolutely crazy shit in enterprise server gear if you have deep enough pockets.
