Dessalines@lemmy.mlMtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Why the API says a post doesn't have comments when the HTML page shows comments ?
3·2 months agoRead the API docs for what type means: https://join-lemmy.org/lemmy-js-client-docs/v0.19/classes/LemmyHttp.html#getComments
Thanks, just tried this out and it works well.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Does Lemmy automatically purge old cached images?
3·2 months agoIt has to be the pictrs cache then… I’d ask this on the pict-rs matrix chat
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Does Lemmy automatically purge old cached images?
3·2 months agoYou’re using the
ProxyAllImagessetting then? Otherwise it is storing every image, and it does not delete them.
Vegans can use fish, as long as they don’t bash
Other front ends might not support these settings. We only support lemmy-ui and jerboa.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Why is matrix advised in anti-zionist pro-privacy instances?
1·2 months agoThe amdocs funding isn’t that concerning to me, because unlike signal (which also had shady funding, via the US DoD / OTF), the matrix back-end can be self-hosted, built from source, and run entirely privately.

Linux@lemmy.ml•rmlint: Extremely fast tool to remove duplicates and other lint from your filesystem
21·2 months agoI haven’t tried fclones, but rmlint is extremely safe. It only creates a json file and a remove script file, that you can review and edit before running.
Dessalines@lemmy.mlMtoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to browse the communities of an instance in alphabetical order?
1·2 months agoYou can search communities, but in the communities page, they’re only sorted by active users.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Understanding Linux and choosing your first Linux distro, v2.0
2·3 months ago@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml @MarcellusDrum@lemmy.ml Some ppl seemed to find this guide useful, I stickied it to the community. Should it go there, or maybe in the sidebar instead? Or not at all.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are distros really different or is it more about preference?
3·3 months agoI’ve stickied that to this community.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Syncthing 2.0 Launches With Major Database Overhaul
42·3 months agoIt’s wild how it has the fastest read performance of any other sql backend, even postgres.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Useful CLI tools like ffmpeg, ani-cli, yazi, etc.?
2·3 months agoSome I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
- bottom, a process manager written in rust.
- starship.rs, a smart prompt that works with most shells. Fish is my fav.
- broot. A unique file explorer and search.
- dua-cli a space analyzer.
- fdupes . Find and remove duplicate files.
No, but it already has language support for most languages. As a decades long vim user who fully moved to helix, it didn’t lack anything I needed.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!
11·4 months agoYou mean the power cost of a computer idling at home?
I have 5 computers (beelink and nuc servers) at home rn, each idles at ~6 watts. That’s about 40 usd a year. One computer would be 8.5 usd per year.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Recommend a simple, small cheap laptop < 15" I can chuck in my bag for use in coffee shops!
51·4 months agoIf you’re able to code from a terminal, and care about longer battery life (my main concern when working from a coffee shop or elsewhere), I’d recommend getting a used android tablet, pry something from xiaomi or oneplus. You can find a decent model used for around that price with > 8 hour battery life easily.
Get a good stand, a solid bluetooth keyboard (logitech makes some great portable ones), and put termux on it (can probably handle light python locally).
If you need it to do CPU powerful tasks, use termux to remote into a VPS or your home server, and let a plugged in linux machine do the work so you can save your device’s battery life. This is how I code at least.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?
12·4 months agoI’m not sure either. I think arch used to be one of the less popular distros (because of the more involved install process, solved now by the arch-based distros with friendly installers), despite having some of the best features, so it required more “evangelism”, that’s unecessary now. Arch-based distros are now some of the most popular ones, so its not necessary.
Others have commented on why its so great, but the AUR + Rolling releases + stability means that arch is one of the “stable end states”. You might hop around a lot, but its one of the ones you end up landing on, and have no reason to change from.
In that case flatpak is basically a hack for OS’s with broken or improper dependency manangement systems. Either those OS’s should fix their broken systems, or ppl should move to OS’s that do it properly, as that’s one of the most important functions of your OS anyway.

It’s either the instance or the app.
