Consider that any gift with a monetary value is likely something that they will need to report.

Sending two cards, one to them and one to their boss is one way to show your appreciation.

If you’re not sure about their boss, send the second card higher up the chain.

If you don’t have mobile coverage, the local library or community centre. MacDonalds is also a popular option.

I think that the missing link for the fediverse is the user interface that most users see.

This is oxymoronic given that the original Reddit looks eerily similar to Lemmy today, but it’s not just looks I’m talking about.

Moderation and usability tools, bots, blocks, filtering and spam control need to go through several iterations before we can actually grow this community.

Search is another issue, as is post deletion. Right now a post vanishes, but all the stuff hanging off it is still there. This makes for a complex user experience.

Finally, Lemmy appears to be run by developers who appear to be interested in their own issues and regularly appear to dismiss issues raised by users. This is not sustainable.

I consider myself a user of the fediverse before I’m a Lemmy or Mastodon user. We have a way to go before this settles down.

I am part of the Reddit exodus. I’m here because I have no interest in promoting or supporting the atrocious policies that now govern Reddit.

The pace here is different, but the interactions feel more measured.

Based on being online since 1990, I’m comfortable with being an “early adopter”, even though I’ve only been here for a few months and Lemmy is five years old.

Will Lemmy survive? Who knows. The horse and buggy didn’t, neither did Yahoo!, MySpace or Google+, but here we are nonetheless.

I like it here.

There are plenty of other names and I’d be surprised if the ones you used are the oldest or even the most popular.

“Close to public transport”

I found that it didn’t all come off on the first attempt. I used a cool shower and washed it off. Soap didn’t seem to help, but if I recall, it was a few years ago, sorbolene did help wash it off.

Ultimately it’s likely still in your pores and causing grief. I was still pulling hairs off days later.

I didn’t need an immediate result, so not quite the perilous journey that you are experiencing.

Good luck.

As a young and naive teenager I hitchhiked from Enschede to Breda in the Netherlands.

At one point I was dropped off at the flyover intersection between two freeways in the middle of nowhere - inasmuch as that is actually possible in the Netherlands.

I stood there with my thumb up for quite a while and looking around me considered just how much humanity had interfered and interacted with the landscape, roads, lights, fences, dikes, pastures, crops, all around as far as the eye could see.

In stark contrast, I now live in Australia and you can drive between where I live in Perth and an inland city, Kalgoorlie, about 600 km away. Pull over on the side of the road between towns and walk 50m off the road and there’s a good chance that you’re the first person to stand there in a century, if not a millennium or ever.

It’s a package management system in the same way that Flatpack, yum, apt-get, snap and dozens of others are.

If you use MacOS and Linux, it’s not inconceivable that you might want to use the same package management system across both.

I’ve used it, didn’t particularly warm to it and didn’t install it on my most recent MacOS install after it shat all over itself on a previous installation.

I didn’t know that it was available for Linux. Not tempted to try.

I’m a firm believer in apt-get and failing that, Docker with side journeys into podman.

Also, the word you’re looking for is: “headless”, as in, “headless install”

The traditional way is to use a serial console from another device.

I was born in Australia, moved to the Netherlands as a child and as an an adult moved back to Australia where I am now.

I had no access to or use of a car until I was around 23. Up to that point I lived in a country where you could cycle for most of your daily routine, take the bus a couple of times a month and the train sporadically.

I moved to a country where cycling was for the poor and foolhardy, me for several years, and public transport was atrocious.

Public transport has marginally improved, my bicycle hasn’t been used for 20+ years and our household has one car.

Learning to drive is a process. It takes time. Just like learning to fly a plane takes time. If you have a need to drive, learning how is step one. In my country even when you pass your test, you are required to keep a logbook for at least two years and drive in a variety of conditions before you can actually upgrade your probationary licence.

I suspect that this will require backend support to implement. Raise an issue in the Lemmy repository.

Welcome to the community, we’re all still figuring out what to do with it :)

When you want to reconnect with the hobby, after looking after yourself, look for my callsign, VK6FLAB. I have produced a weekly article about the hobby for the past 13 years and there’s plenty of suggestions for things to do and learn.

Based on what you wrote, referencing burnout, I suspect that the issue isn’t that you need a hobby, it’s that you need to make time to do nothing at all.

Go for walks in nature, away from technology, walk alone or with friends, laugh, tell stories, share secrets and dreams.

The more you do, the more resilience builds up, the better you can cope with stress and work.

Only then might you find joy in a hobby. For me it was Amateur Radio, but it might be different for you.

Back propagation happens during the creation of the model, not after it’s deployed.

Consider the impact of donating to one or more clients as the main project.

• People donating did so to the main project, not a client.
• What happens if the donation goes to a client that you feel is unworthy for whatever reason.
• What happens if your preferred client doesn’t get a donation?

It’s an interesting question.

Perhaps I’m not devious enough, but the only impact I can see is insurance companies increasing your fees or denying cover.

When this was happening for me, it turned out to be an issue with the instance I was connected to. If I recall, an upgrade fixed the issues.
