I don’t mind a call but I really appreciate the people who ask via message first!

I used to have a Play developer account and it felt like every month they would email me saying if I don’t follow some action my apps would be removed. Sometimes it was based on some law change, but then they would just remove you in that jurisdiction. Many were much more arbitrary things. I have trouble remembering and don’t use that account or email address anymore but it was things like setting an age rating or some new flag they introduced. If you didn’t do it in a certain amount of time then your app got removed.

I don’t remember one about updates but it wouldn’t surprise me, otherwise it could just be one of many of their arbitrary requirements.

I also don’t mind slow updates in general, but when people are reporting issues and getting no response then that does put me off a bit.

It’s a launcher, so regular updates are less important, but it does still concern me a bit.

My other launcher is KISS 😆 I gave TinyBit a go, I’m not sure i like the look. I feel like KISS looks more… polished? Modern? Not sure of the right word.

Should I be concerned it was last updated 9 months ago?

The book A City On Mars is a great read about why everything Mars settlement enthusiasts want to do is a bad idea, and yes it covers the problem of a private company controlling your air supply.

Only a single person on the instance needs to subscribe, then the instance with the community knows about it and will start pushing the content to that instance.

You’re on Lemmy.world, so it wouldn’t take long for someone to subscribe (if you’re the first person, just looking also pulls a handful of posts, but no further updates until someone subscribes).

Might be talking about https://lemmy-federate.com/?

You can add the community, and the other instances that have signed up will have their follower account subscribe to your new community. Communities are only federated to instances that have at least one subscriber to the community, so it won’t show in All on instances with no subscribers to your community. That website is a way to help get around that.

Well you wouldn’t have been able to do docker compose up if it was like that, right? So it must have been changed while it was running.

Lemmy-UI and the backend are completely separate, so if the UI is not working apps can still connect to the back end if that’s running.

Wow, a lot of variation in this thread!

I get all my data to my server, then from there I have borgmatic do incremental backups to a backup drive on the same machine (nightly cronjob).

From there I use Rclone to get the encrypted borg backup to Backblaze B2 for cloud storage.

So for 3 2 1, my 3 copies are the original, the local backup, and the cloud backup.

My 2 media are local hard drives and cloud storage (I think it’s fair to consider this a different kind of media).

And my 1 offsite is the cloud backup.

Now I’m dumb and have a fear of screwing something up so I have also started burning M-Discs of my critical data (everything except TV/movie/music stuff I can redownload). Though this was a lot more expensive than I was expecting, because of aforementioned me being dumb I already screwed up two discs (they are write once). I’m also doing two copies of each disc.

Also I have photos/home videos additionally stored in ente, they are super important to me and I wanted a separated copy someone else is looking after.

Thanks for the tip, very helpful since I’m looking for MAX safety!

I guess I don’t get why the people selling you the seat have applied a fee from themselves instead of it just being part of the airfare.

What is “Carrier-imposed fees”? Isn’t the carrier the airline?

I think I am paranoid enough that, with everyone safe, nothing too irreplaceable would be lost.

Things are insured and can be replaced. Photos, videos, kids art, I have trouble thinking of anything else not replaceable and these things are digitally backed up to multiple cloud services.

Would it be super annoying? For sure, but with time and effort I feel like nothing is gone forever.

Maybe my Framework laptop that I bought using freight forwarding before they cracked down and stopped us ordering more 😩

Yes, when writing a post you can enter a custom thumbnail URL. A relatively recent feature, sh.itjust.works is on 0.19.5 and I thought it was from earlier than that so try starting a post on the website and you should see it.

I was curious about Open Street Maps, since anyone can edit it.

Gulf of America comes up specifically as an official name for US, and there is also a note about how if you change the English name without agreement in the discussion then it will be reverted:

Discussion is here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571

It seems the general consensus is that the US have that as an official name, but it’s not the common English name so name:en stays as the Gulf of Mexico.

Logins aren’t federated, so for counting active users in a community votes, comments, posts is about all you have.

Yes, back then you had to comment or post. These days it also counts users who vote within the timeframe as active users.

Yeah frying would make it quite different.

I have heaps of ideas in this thread, I’m going to need more cabbage!

What makes you say they are shorter life span? The 25GB and 100GB both have the same “several hundred years” claim.
