It's also second only to .com in terms of query volume in ICANN's Magnitude statistics with 980 mil vs .internal's 60 mil. Not sure if that makes it a de facto standard, but it's close.

I was more getting at the headline being worded to imply the corporation is doing the 'gifting' here.

It's funny to me that the blue tick has gone from meaning 'oh good, this is at least coming from a verified source' to 'this is almost certain to be alt right bullshit'.

Cool holiday home for an av geek.
EDIT: Update complete. Service will be interrupted from 0:00 UTC (~1 hour from now) due to updates to both Lemmy and the database version. This is a major update and downtime could be up to to two hours (but hopefully less). As ever, you can refer to [status.leminal.space](https://status.leminal.space) if we're down to see if it's planned and what the reason is. I’ll comment here once the updates are complete.

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).

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.

I'm running Pop! OS on a Surface Pro 5 and it works pretty much flawlessly with the Linux Surface kernel installed. That said, 99% of the time I'm using it with the keyboard attached so I haven't done much testing of it in 'tablet mode', nor with a stylus.

Cheers, I appreciate it!
The featureful Photon fork Tesseract is now available to use at [tes.leminal.space](https://tes.leminal.space). It has significantly advanced upon Photon's already excellent interface and really come into its own. As such, the list of features is extensive, so I encourage you to check out the [repo](https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract) for a full description if you're interested. Tesseract also works well on mobile, especially when installed as a PWA, so give that a try, too. If all goes well, it's likely Photon will be retired in the next couple of weeks with Tesseract taking its place. (EDIT: This has now been implemented.) ![Tesseract screenshot](https://leminal.space/pictrs/image/631c3166-23e0-459a-96d7-a6d1acceb08f.jpeg)

Aside from the VPS and object storage for housing Leminal Space, just Proton Mail. And The Anfield Wrap if we're counting podcasts.

Thanks for letting me know. The issue may have had more impact than I first thought. 🫤 At this stage we're not certain what caused it as there has been no config changes recently, but we'll keep a closer eye on the server for the next few days.
We had an issue over the past 24 hours or so that stopped incoming federated comments from making it to the database (you may have noticed highly-upvoted posts with 0 comments). This has now been resolved and comments are being received again. This issue should not have impacted outgoing comments reaching other instances.

Not BBC but tangentially related, I enjoy the rolling stream of old crime and mystery radio plays that Audio Noir does. Worth checking out.

I think your data may be old? Current estimates have Taiwan's population at 23.4m and 27m for Australia's. The disparity in density still stands though!
[Photon](https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon) is now available as an alternative web front-end at [photon.leminal.space](https://photon.leminal.space) - link also in the sidebar.
The image service is currently degraded while a database migration completes. It may be hit-or-miss whether images appear, but should be 100% within an hour or so.

We're back up and running - now on v0.19.2 of Lemmy. This major version bump introduces new features like user-level instance blocking and a new scaled sort algorithm.
The image service back-end upgrade is partially complete. I anticipate another short period of downtime in the next week or two to complete the required changes.
As with any major changes to the back-end, I recommend clearing your site data and logging back in.
I can also see that some changes to the Lemmy UI code may have degraded the Leminal Space theme. I hope to have these issues cleaned up over the next couple of days.
Service may be interrupted from 6:00 UTC (~7 hours from now) due to planned updates to both the Lemmy and image service back-ends. As this is a major update for both, with each requiring database refactoring, anticipated downtime is up to two hours (but hopefully less). If Lemmy is still up during the above period but you notice images aren’t being served or uploads are failing, it is be due to the image service being down for the update. I'll comment here once the updates are complete.

Having thought more about this issue over the past couple of weeks, and having read some of the arguments of others (Erin Kissane's persuasive blog post in particular), I have reconsidered my position on this and cannot in good conscience allow this instance to federate with Threads or any other Meta entity. Defederation is effective immediately.

Navidrome with any of the many Subsonic streaming apps (I like Symfonium on Android).
chrisbit 11 months ago • 100%
Not OP, but I also use Navidrome, hosted as a docker container on Synology NAS with reverse proxy for streaming outside the house. Have found the Symfonium app (paid) to be a great replacement for Spotify.

Worth pointing out that the current version of Return YouTube Dislike doesn't seem to be working while you're logged in. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.
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.

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](https://leminal.space/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](https://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.
In a blatantly obvious effort to [keep up with the Joneses](https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/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](https://github.com/sheodox/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](https://alex.leminal.space) The second is [mlmym](https://github.com/rystaf/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](https://old.leminal.space) If there is demand for it, I will consider adding [Voyager](https://vger.app) 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.
