We are now back up and running on Lemmy 0.19.5. See what's changed: 0.19.4, 0.19.5.

I also use Navidrome + Symfonium. It's a great combo.

Do yourself a favour and listen to the version from '...And Justice for Jason' with restored bass.

Loved the book. I think it has the potential to make for a great film. Looking forward to this.

From what I've seen, there's no real performance difference with a gaming distro. What they tend to offer is an out of box experience that is more tailored towards gaming than a regular distro (think 'game mode', Steam, Proton, and maybe Lutris pre-installed, Nvidia drivers if you need them).

Is this how we crack fusion?

Looks good! Checking out Ymuse now...

Is this on Arch? I have to assume no because you didn't say... ;) I've been thinking about trying out Hyprland but unsure if it will jive with my Fedora system.

It's a signage display.

Thanks for the heads up, and for all the work you put into Tesseract! The changelog looks impressive. We'll update this weekend.

 

The site will go down at roughly 3:00 UTC today (~4.5 hours from now) for a server upgrade. Downtime should last less than five minutes.

 

With Louise and Nina from Veruca Salt ❤️

In the interests of transparency around how this instance is intended to be run, and so that prospective users can make an informed decision before joining, this post will serve as a living document briefly outlining policies and information about Leminal Space.

Geographic location

The server resides in a data centre on the US east coast. This was chosen because it is intended for this instance be a general, international one, and the fact that most countries have a relatively fast and fat pipe connecting them to the US made this a practical choice. That said, cached content will be served to you via the nearest global Cloudflare server.

Defederation policy

We will actively and pre-emptively defederate from predominantly fascist, far-right and alt-right (or troll) instances.

To reduce the likelihood of legal issues, we do not federate with porn/NFSW instances and suggest you use an alt-account if you wish to interact with those.

We do not and will not federate with Threads or any other Meta entity.

Either leave a comment below or post a thread to /c/leminalspacemeta if there is an instance you believe should be considered for defederation in line with the above policy.

We will remain federated with all leftist instances (yes, even the sh*tposting ones).

Word filter policy

We do not implement any word filters.

The Lemmy base was updated to 0.18.3 on the weekend with just a couple of minutes of downtime. This version includes database efficiencies that reduced this instance's total database size by about 60%, as well as federation efficiencies that reduce CPU overhead. A big thanks to the development team for this significant update.

In other news, a Leminal Space status page has been created at status.leminal.space to show service advisories and keep track of outages. This is hosted on an external server and should work regardless of the status of the main LS server.

Alternative front-ends added (self.leminalspace)
submitted 1 year ago by chrisbit to c/leminalspace
 

In a blatantly obvious effort to keep up with the Joneses, I have decided to follow the lead of some of the larger instances and host the two alternative front-ends that you may use to browse Lemmy. I intend to keep these updated as the projects evolve and will monitor their use for detrimental impacts to performance.

The first is Alexandrite, a free and open source project by sheodox released under the AGPL license. A pretty and highly reactive UI designed for desktop use, it features infinite scrolling and viewing posts in a pop up so you never lose your place. This UI lives at alex.leminal.space

The second is mlmym, a recreation of the "old" Reddit UI for Lemmy (for those pining for the beforetimes). This project is also FOSS and released under the AGPL license. Try it at old.leminal.space

If there is demand for it, I will consider adding Voyager at m.leminal.space with an automatic redirect for mobile devices. However, I believe that the default Lemmy front-end works well enough on mobile browsers for the few who will be using the site without a dedicated app.
