    Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?
  • I adore VLC.

    I've been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It's quite friendly.

    I'm also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.

    That is all.

  • calgaryherald.com 'I'm consistently shocked': Some students in Calgary contemplate homelessness as fall semester begins

    Lower vacancies and higher rents are squeezing those with low incomes out of the housing market.

    Whenever I got rather frustrated, and I wanted to share a rant, I read through /r/TheBakery on reddit. Sadly, this grouping has fallen to the wayside, as had its Discord.

    For those who are interested in creating /c/Breadtube videos, and are building the next thing... where are they going? Is there a community here on Lemmy, or elsewhere, for those who are making new videos and editors?

    Why does the Steam Deck use Arch Linux?
  • I read this article a couple of years ago about the subject. Apparently, one part was ease and rapidity of rolling updates with the likes of Arch, and another part of wanting a bit more experimental nature of Arch versus steady-as-she-goes and stable Debian. It's a rather neat discussion and debate.

    Hi moderator team(s),

    This is a link to the backgrounds, graphics and otherwise that I've help make for the Lemmy.world squad. Hopefully, this can be somewhat helpful in your work in your communities.

    It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
  • Echoing the need to create and seed (posting some example posts) for communities. On my end, the wiki resources of subreddits were some of my favourite content items, so new communities working on recreating shared pages and resources is right at the top of the list of things that excite me about Lemmy communities. ♥️

    Proposed: Lemmy.world logo.
  • I've now made a repository on GitHub, so that you can download the graphics and use them for your communities and projects. There's even an Etsy store selling stickers now.

    Lemmy.world stickers!
  • Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra "Logo World Circles". I'm looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I'll be putting them, but they'll be placed somewhere...

    How is your instance performance?
  • I'm on Mastodon.world. It has been excellent, and the admin team even created some stats pages to show uptime. It's pretty stellar, in my humble opinion.

    Does anyone know how to verify a Mastodon profile using a WordPress site?
  • I would argue... like any other website? The Join Mastodon website has a guide.. For my verification, off of my WordPress install, I just added a link with the rel="me" tag, which led to my green check marks on my Mastodon profile..

    Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts
  • Exciting to see! Hopefully we start to get some network effects, and start seeing communities pop up from the different parts of the internet.

    One of the things I quite like about Lemmy is that a group can host their own community, and for folks who are concerned about what happened at Reddit or otherwise, the fediverse/decentralized model allows them a high degree of control, while at the same time connecting them through an entire network of people to discover them. It's pretty exciting to see this.

    Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server?
  • My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.

    I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I've been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx...

    Which historical event best represents the saying "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"?
  • There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it'd improve the environment.

    His name was Allan Savory.

    Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
