YunoHost “packages” are just scripts. In the case of Lemmy, Lemmy_ynh’s install script actually fetches the Lemmy Docker image and extracts the files (including pre-built binaries) from it. And then it writes the config files to use the system Psql instance instead of a containerized version.

FWIW I don’t care how YunoHost installs the apps. Whether it’s fetching and running containers, or building from source, or grabbing binaries. As long as the apps work and the reverse proxy gets wrangled it’s fine with me. Just in this case refusing to run the Docker images directly is, at least momentarily, a problem for updating the app.


Well it is “working” for me. I’m using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it’s only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).

Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy “as intended”. Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system…


Were you able to migrate your database from an outdated YunoHost installation to a v18 Lemmy running in Docker? I like YunoHost but I’m considering the same move, as this old Lemmy version has a lot of incompatibilities and other issues.


The main blocker, at least so far, was Lemmy is designed mainly to use use Docker containers to version itself and its main dependencies like Postgresql, while YunoHost runs on the bare system. And since YunoHost is still on Debian 11 it only has access to Postgresql 13 while Lemmy now wants 15. This unfortunately is hard to resolve. YunoHost doesn’t want to introduce Docker, and upgrading the entire platform to Debian 12 is slowly happening but it’s a lot of work.


Because what Twitter really needs right now is less engagement.


If they really do shut off API access I’ll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn’t upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don’t browse on my phone.

Hollow Knight 112% “Pure Completion”

One of my favorite games, but it’s so hard.


Rust adoption at Google: > over 1,000 Google developers ... have authored and committed Rust code as some part of their work in 2022 The learning curve might not be as steep as often said: > More than 2/3 of respondents are confident in contributing to a Rust codebase within two months or less when learning Rust. Further, a third of respondents become as productive using Rust as other languages in two months or less

I mean obviously “Taxation without Representation” is one of the foundational injustices which led to the declaration of independence, so I’m in favor for letting non-citizen residents vote. But if the state constitution says voting is only for citizens then maybe the state constitution needs to be amended…

A few states do have provisions for letting non-citizens vote in local elections: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States


In a way, Crysis. There’s a reason the “But does it run Crysis?” meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.


We continue to inch closer to full-blown corporatocracy. We’ve all watched and read enough cyberpunk to see where that leads.


Yes so many great games shipped on XBLA. It’s how I first played Braid, Limbo, Shadow Complex, and many other indies. There’s still some which are exclusive to the platform, hidden gems like “ilomilo”.


I think a difference between email and ActivityPub-based social media is there’s arguably less of a need to have federation between any two servers. If you can’t email the government, your sister living abroad, or a client, that’s a big problem. But if you can’t follow a cat pictures account or your friend’s constant stream of baseball rants because the servers don’t federate it’s not quite the same.

If Meta becomes ActivityPub interoperable instances may or may not federate with them. Either way it’s not necessarily going to change my social media experience.


Yeah the Room games are great. I like how intuitively they use the touch controls.



Great news. I think we’re still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.


It’s old, but SWAT 4 is still the best tactical shooter ever made IMO.

Mods like Elite Force make the experience even better.


Memes for the whole event, chef.


Having used both, while the market implications of NACS are still unclear it sure is the more ergonomic of the two standards. Those CCS2 DC connectors are just too large and unwieldy.



The Fediverse is still a strange concept to a lot of people. They assume only email is federated and the rest of the web is sites with only internally facing channels of communication.





There’s many different ways DID could be implemented on top of ActivityPub. I don’t think full content replication (what you’re mentioning) is likely as that’s a fundamentally different style of protocol.

But I can imagine signing in to a different instance with my ID, at which point I subscribe to all my communities from this instance and get notifications if someone replies to one of my comments etc. Just as if I had created an account on this instance and had posted from there. It just means “your” instance can go down and you can continue future interactions mostly uninterrupted from another instance.

And it’s more useful in the case of microblogging, where with DID you can publish posts from any instance and your followers will see them. No need for a manual account migration or anything.


100% agreed with both. Especially DIDs just need to happen on all ActivityPub platforms. It will not only free users from being locked to an instance, but it will also allow instances to be much more flexible in scaling their capacity. Lemmy.ml is overloaded because they have too many users, and anyone who signed up there can no longer use their account. DID would allow them to immediately use their account from any small or large instance with spare capacity without changing the experience. The same would go for Mastodon.
