Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn’t care for. Ah well. I don’t blame them of course, but reddit isn’t something I’m going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

That’s actually all that the “block” function on Lemmy does too - it makes it so that you don’t see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff. In other words, Lemmy’s “block” is essentially a “mute” function, too.

Converso doesn’t care about privacy or security!?

Officially Lemmy just calls them “communities”, but I figure that you can call them “subs” because you subscribe to them.

On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn’t appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax “[email protected]”. Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.

Is there a way to do that on kbin? I’ve tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.

[email protected]
/c/[email protected]
server.name/c/communityname
@[email protected]
etc.

Just curious as to what everyone’s using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?

And that’s only for the personal OneDrive service. Business accounts are “https://YourOrg-my.sharepoint.com” for OneDrive access.

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do… nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it’s done for the past several years.

Then again, I’m defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don’t show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

Good fucking riddance. Scroll down to just past the halfway mark in the article (beginning with “At times, his on-air pronouncements drew criticism.”) where it recaps everything you actually need to know about this shit human being.

Yeah that’d be smart on their part. They’re already paying for the server space and the moderation team.

All of the main servers I’ve seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it’s only a matter of time until someone’s willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.

Yeah I figure no need to discriminate at this point, anyone in the field of administering any IT systems is welcome here. If Lemmy really takes off and sometime down the road there seems a need for it we might establish rules for what’s appropriate to post here vs. other tech subs, but I don’t see the need for that now.

Well yeah, Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. Never cared for Twitter pre or post-Elon.

Feel free to use this space for networking related posts as well. Not all of us have the fortune of being able to wear a single hat, and I know I’m just as interested in networking news & discussion as anything else in the IT space.

Yep, you’ve made it to Lemmy. The lemmy.ml server, specifically.

I started playing Firmament a bit before I saw this news yesterday. I figured the mysteriousness would unfold bit by bit as the game progressed as we’re used to with Cyan games, but now it seems it might just be a hodge-podge mess of AI written material. Oh well, the puzzles have been fun and engaging and I’ll probably keep playing.

Well it can be a good idea… if you’re looking to move on to those other options I mentioned (specialize, management, or goat farm). If you want to stay in the sysadmin space, I guess I’d still recommend automating, but with caution.

Yeah, my hope is that reddit is about to enter the “find out” phase. If they only stick to a 2 day blackout however (or snub it like the /r/sysadmin mods), things are going to get right back to status quo real quick unfortunately.

What do we think? Is IDG full of it? Is the industry trending toward DevOps? I suppose there’s always the other options - hyper-specialize in a given technology, or move on to management. Or go start a goat farm or something.
