I was surprised to read that a country in South Europe mainly used Viber. I'm not European but I'm almost definite that WhatsApp has the largest market share for chat apps in all of Europe. Maybe Telegram coming a close second

I don't see why it shouldn't work. I have my ISP router set to pass through mode and my mikrotik router behind it

Aha. Understood. Thank you for the clarification

What kind of safety reasons rule out OSS for you?

I can see your post on lemmy.ml

For those of us that live in the West African tropics, we just settle on how many bites we can tolerate per night lol. Some people apply agricultural pesticides (active ingredient Bifenthrin) down their waste water pipes once a month to ameliorate.

Does kbin have any mobile apps yet?

Looks really nice. First auto I got was a Seiko from my dad. Makes it my most desired brand

Neat piece of software we use at the office to provide remote support to customers.

It does take a while to get the hang of Mastodon, especially if you come with a Twitter mindset expecting some algorithm to push Content to your timeline. Once you start following the Hashtag and topics that interests you, then the "power" of mastodon comes to the fore

That's assuming they are an Android user

On the continent, we are super sceptical of Bill Gates

So there's some "incorrect" assumptions you have made about the North American summer, and weather in Africa. In the North American summer, only North Africa experiences summer with you guys. The rest of the continent is blanketed in rains (West, Central and East Africa) or are in outright winter (Southern Africa). So our temperatures do come down in your winter. Your coldest months are our hottest months for most of the continent (except for North Africa). So saying the developed parts of Africa

The app's evolution has been massive. Kudos to you and the team

I'm also interested in the answer to this question

How would you go about mentoring complete n00bs looking to begin a career in tech most of whom want to go into programming?

It's interesting seeing Nigerian music on the global stage. 20 years ago, it was a struggle to find a club in London playing Nigerian music let alone playing it all night long. Today, Nigerian music has gone mainstream and global. Great stuff

Do you have tips/advice for hosting a lemmy instance on a LAN? I'm looking to get acquainted with administering an instance using the docker route on a Proxmox Ubuntu container without much success. I'm hoping to eventually host an instance for the West African community

Aren't Reddit allegedly restoring deleted posts?

So I'm trying to get a local instance of Lemmy 0.18 running on my LAN with docker. I don't have a domain name (yet) and would not be able host lemmy as a Proxmox Container primarily to get acquainted with hosting and administering an instance before eventually hosting an instance on a VPS. Has anyone successful hosted lemmy on their LAN? How did you go about setting it up?

Servers with "lower" entry requirements have been infested with bots. Those with "higher" entry requirements are breaking ties (defederation) with these "lower requirement" lemmy servers

This assuming the government provided tap water for you in the first place looking at all state governments in Nigeria

So I come from a 3rd world country where many people lack the basics. Covid-19 and remote work opened a lot of opportunities for local tech folks such that $15/hr immediately made you very comfortable here. This was after years of earning about $2k/yr from local employers. A lot of young locals are now rushing into tech with the aim of earning such "mouth watering" pay. However many are not willing to put in the work. They literally want you to plan a learning path for them, teach them, get a job for them and in some cases work that job for them

I learned that word in Physics in high school. The anomalous expansion of water where water behaves differently between 0°C and 4°C

Been on Reddit for 4 years. Almost exclusively used the official app. I was completely irritated by the ads disguised as posts. @ChristianSelig posts about the API drama and I tried out a few of the 3PAs. What in the name of God was I ever doing on the official app?

And I totally agree with you. If the downvote option is disabled then same should be applied to up votes. The arguments been put out here against downvotes also apply to up votes

Couldn't the same thing be said about up votes?

Are you able to host without a domain name? Looking to spin up one to see what the install process feels like before I spin up a production instance

You wrote this on lemmy.ml. You can te by how your user name is displayed here. Others writing from different instances would have their "full names" displayed. Something like @username@instanceName

EDIT: Apparently I was wrong. It looks like that only holds for other lemmy instances

No one here uses duck.com email addresses?

Looks like a good tool as it mentions editing your comment before deleting them. Not sure if I recall correctly but I believe I heard Michael Bazzell in one of his podcasts mention something about editing your posts first (and allowing sometime for them to "bake in") before deleting the edited posts

lowercase with no special characters and you are good to go
