Yes. But why? I wasn’t able to find anything confirming the chain of events that led from an auction at over $2000 with the registration company refusing to cancel it, to Hexbear suddenly having their domain back and everything back to normal.

Good luck!

It’s really not clear that’s what happened. A direct question and there’s no real answer: https://hexbear.net/post/4470506

In the original thread about it there were people joking that the domain renewal didn’t get paid after DOGE cut funding.

But it’s just suspicious enough that if I were a user I’d not share any personal info and connect via a VPN…

It might need some special setup? Here’s a guide to setting up from a couple of years ago (hopefully not too far out of date): https://appelman.se/matrix-on-cloudflare

I haven’t done it myself (using Matrix.Org like a pleb) so can’t give any advice.

It seems to exist for me. I didn’t try to join but it seems to exist:

Interestingly it seems to be a room about ActivityPub not Lemmy. I’d probably join that room and then ask there. The lead devs are definitely active on Matrix so that’s where I’d head if I wanted to contribute.

There’s a guide to new contributors. It has a link to a Matrix chat where communication happens.

It’s everything your instance is aware of, yes.

While the user bases of Piefed and Mbin are smaller, they should be included as they federate with Lemmy and interact with our communities.

The same is true of Mastodon but that’s a lot harder to count since most Mastodon users are not interacting with Lemmy (since it’s a different style of platform - microblog vs link sharing).

I’m a purest. If you’re gonna euthanise me with a roller coaster, it needs to be exactly how the Great Creator intended.

It seems the coaster is supposed to be 500m high at it’s peak. The tallest coaster in the world is 112m high (with a planned one almost 200m high). Might need some engineers on our project if we are going to reach 500m.

That’s a good reason. I guess when I’m directly writing SQL the queries are point in time and not part of some enduring codebase.

They plan to move to sublinks, but it’s still in development. So they said they will update to the latest version and also planning to update to 1.0 when released (planned for later this year) because their members are having trouble with apps etc after breaking changes.

There’s an update post here: https://beehaw.org/post/18771220

More specifically I meant when I am writing in the language.

I don’t write “SELECT * FROM users;”, I write “select * from users;”

Not sure if joking but I meant the language not the acronym.

A person is unlikely to read it specifically but they will be looking for trends. I hope you used lots of good keywords.

Do people actually write SQL in all caps? Ever since I was a boy I’ve always written SQL (and HTML) in lower case.

People who did upgrade would have found regressions in several of those versions.

We’re on 0.19.8 so just one version behind that I need to get around to updating, but before that there were a string of versions with known issues.

Lemmy is not even version 1 yet, it’s risky to update to a new version straight away.

A lot fewer possibilities than that! No special characters, all lower case, it was a word in the dictionary.

Those were different times.

I still sometimes think about my first email address, and how it had a four letter password. Just signed up at Yahoo, it wasn’t anything special.

Mozilla collects and shares some data with partners to keep Firefox commercially viable

How hard is it to be specific? People are concerned about this, can they not tell us the exact data they share and with whom, or is doing so going to make people more concerned so they are avoiding telling us?
