    It doesn't matter if you care. What matters is that the people being referred to care how they are being referred. It's literally 0 extra effort for you to use the pronouns they prefer. Just use the pronouns that they want. It doesn't inconvenience you at all.

    This is likely what happened. I think I'm gonna format the Windows SSD attached to the server (old install) and reinstall grub. Tomorrow, I guess. :(

    Edit: Now that I've had a moment to think, I realized that I deleted grub. It was on another SSD that I wiped. It was on the SSD that my old OS was on that I wasn't using anymore. But my actual Linux install came from another computer. So when I dropped it in what became my server, I installed grub manually on the old SSD (which has now been wiped) to boot to my Linux SSD.

    Obviously losing the third party apps and spez's lies about the Apollo dev were the big ones, but honestly, I have had negative feelings towards the reddit community for a long time. Everyone is perpetually negative. They seem like miserable people. And the fact that every single comments section was same 3 fucking jokes repeated over and over and over. "I'm grieving my wife who passed away this morning" "I also choose this guy's dead wife." "Hahahahahahahahahahahahalolololoollolololol" "no it's okay, the guy who the original joke is about thinks it's funny, so it's not offensive to say it to this guy."

    Not having to do a database rollback is a really, really hard problem to solve, and it would almost certainly need to be on the Lemmy developers side, not the server owner's side. And if I'm them, that's a low priority issue, and probably not something I even think about until 1.0.

    Basically, they write code that says what to do in the event of a database version change. Usually this only handles upgrade cases, because that's what happening most of the time. One example of something you might do in a db upgrade is let's say you had a column where the data type was only numbers, but now you want to allow any alphanumeric character for some reason. You could have a line of code that converts the number to a string.

    Okay, but now you need to go back to the previous version. Okay, your db change code runs, but it's the old version of the db change code, not some new version that you wrote. You unfortunately didn't have a crystal ball when you wrote this code and couldn't predict that you were going to change the data to strings, so you didnt write code to change it from a string to a number.

    This is why most software doesn't support downgrades unless you wipe first. For example, if you updated your aging MacBook to the latest Mac OS version, then realized it slows down your laptop too much, you can only go back if you first wipe your laptop in the process. So it's just easier to just take a snapshot before an upgrade and revert to the snapshot if it fails. Some folks will even do "scheduled maintenance" time during the upgrade in which the whole system goes down for a short time so they don't have to risk losing data that happened after the snapshot.

    I learned about this http response code too late. About 4 years ago I was working at a startup and I was the "lead engineer" (aka only engineer) on a project where I had to design and implement an entire REST API. I really wish I would have put this in somewhere, since we weren't doing code review (because it was literally only me).

    Trying to set up my own Lemmy server, but I think I'm in over my head

    I tried for several days to host lemmy 0.17.4 using the docker install instructions, but I was less than successful. The instructions seemed to be riddled with mistakes and and the docker-compose.yml file had some errors. I eventually mostly got it up and running, but I could never access the site through the nginx container. I had to add the lemmy-ui to the external network and expose 80 and 443, and then I could access the UI. But it seemed that the UI was unable to communicate with the DB. And I had to comment out all of the loggers in docker-compose.yml, because I they were giving me errors. Anyway, I thought I would give it another shot now that 0.18 has been released and the instructions have been updated. It seems to be much better! I was able to almost get it up and running on my first try. However, there is one error. The nginx container failed to start. There is a file it is trying to mount, but the file doesn't exist. And the instructions don't seem to say anything about creating that file or where to download it. Any help would be much appreciated! The instructions I am following: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html The error: ``` Creating lemmy_proxy_1 ... error ERROR: for lemmy_proxy_1 Cannot start service proxy: crun: mount `<path>/lemmy/nginx_internal.conf` to `etc/nginx/nginx.conf`: Not a directory: OCI runtime error ERROR: for proxy Cannot start service proxy: crun: mount `<path>/lemmy/nginx_internal.conf` to `etc/nginx/nginx.conf`: Not a directory: OCI runtime error ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project. ``` # Edit I ended up finding the file in the lemmy-ansible github project here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx_internal.conf It all comes up now, and I can access it from outside the server. Though, it is http only, even though I have https set to true in docker-compose.yml. And when I try to do the admin sign up, I get the error: `SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'O', "Origin is "... is not valid JSON` # Edit 2 It's all working now. I'm not sure exactly what I did. I set up my https cert by modifying the nginx_internal.conf and adding ssl details, and now it all works. 🤷 Thanks for the replies!

    I'm a software engineer, I have taken classes on docker, I host my own web pages, etc. and I STILL can't get it my own instance of Lemmy running. The instructions are unclear. They have bugs in their docker-compose.yml file. It's really bad. I have been working on it after work each day for the past 4 days. So far I got the UI working, but i can't log in or create an account. And I had to disable logging to get it running because I was getting an error with how the logger was defined in the yml file.

    And because I was frustrated, even though I really, really didn't want to, I tried using their ansible setup. It still didn't work, and it completely fucked my server. It took me a few hours to undo all the shit it did.

    It's not in a good state right now. Hopefully they fix it soon.

    Lmao, at my job, if they don't understand, they just block the device from the network. Even if they do give you an exception, you'll still get blocked. They are actually more strict about Linux devices. I have a Linux vm that I do most of my work on. It exists in an ESXi somewhere. The ESXi gets inventoried, so they still know about my VM.

    It's sad.

    The latest version is 0.34, and even though it was released almost a week ago, it still isn't on Google Play AFAIK. Google Play has a vetting process that takes time. It's to make sure people aren't putting malware on their store. I ended up uninstalling from Google Play and installed from GitHub. It's less safe, as someone could theoretically sneak malware into the codebase, but I guess I like to live dangerously.

    I really hope Microsoft is working on this. Either a way to use gamepass with Steam, or (more likely) a game pass launcher/storefront for Linux. They seem to be playing nice with the Steam Deck so far (e.g. getting Halo TMCC multiplayer to work on the stema deck), so I'm hoping it's just a matter of time.

    It seems that there isn't a clear consensus on that. But for me personally, I loved every Halo game Bungie made, and I have hated every game since 343 took over. I even hated the changes 343 made to Reach after they took over.

    Halo 5 had fun multiplayer, but the story was the absolute worst. I still haven't played Halo Infinite's story, tbh. But I do feel like Infinite's multiplayer is trending in the right direction now that Forge maps hit the community and we have more than 5 maps.
