Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

I feel this should be a Lemmy capability and not client specific? I’d like to see it too - I feel like I’m somehow disrespecting all these interesting looking communities just because I can’t understand the language.
You’re probably about my age. I was just late getting into computers. First attempt at university was dumb terminals connected to some Unix host. Failed everything and dropped out. Went back a few years later and had 8086 based PCs booting DOS off diskettes.
Took a while, but I found “me”. Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!

Wow - I’d forgotten about Flickr
Food looks good!
Of course! It’s amazing how this stuff just flows from the keyboard when you’re typing in a shell window, but feels awkward when typing in a Lemmy comment.
Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.
I’m the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like “these are great - you can wear them for days without washing” and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.
I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!
As an Australian who moved to Canada - I’m jealous! I can’t buy cartons of custard here - I have to buy custard powder in the international section at the grocery store and make my own!
Oh wow - that looks interesting. I’ve been investing a bit of time recently getting into musicbrainz/listenbrainz - now I’m torn.
Protecting children would mean knowing which users are children, which would mean knowing the actual legal identity of every user of the platform. It’s never going to happen.
I assume “data” includes your container configuration files in this strategy?
It should be obvious from the context here, but you don’t just need geographic separation, you need “everything” separation. If you have all your data in the cloud, and you want disaster recovery capability, then you need at least two independent cloud providers.
I’m a little determined to stick with Python because I feel that I should - everyone should be able to code Python :-)
The main problem I have with it is the complex, relaxed, data structures. I’m finding that the type() command in interactive mode is helping a lot. I’m having lots of moments like - “Ah, I’m not down to the dict yet, I’m still in the list…”
Thank you for your detailed response. It’s a bit much for my proposed “project”. I won’t be using any libraries (other than built-in python json etc.). I’ve prototyped most of it and it’s currently about 15 lines of code. Literally one call to lemmy, a search to Musicbrainz and a playlist update to listenbrainz. I know it will grow lots as I make it a bit more robust, but it’s still very small.
Yes, I’m working on it now. Struggling with basic stuff like pulling values out of the json returned by the API when I ask for a list of posts. Python really does not click for me, but I’m determined, for now, to keep at it. An the RSS feed seems like a much easier (than what…?) way to just get new posts with each run - thank you!
I find Python difficult - no idea why, it just doesn’t feel right. I’ve tried a few times but never been able to do anything useful with it - that’s why it’s not in my list above. It does seem though that my proposed project, and development “style”, is best suited to Python. Maybe it’s time to try again.
