Have an e-ink tablet and want to talk about use-cases or hacks? Or considering getting one and not sure which to pick? Come join /c/eink!

or if you're on Kbin, use this link.

 

On lemmy.world, there is a button to initiate a cross post, but as far is I can tell, all it does is add the text "cross-posted from: <original post URL>" and put the original post body in a Markdown quotation environment (i.e. "> POST BODY"). This seems to be parsed by the UI and under some posts in Lemmy, it says "cross posted to: <community name>".

Would following the same formatting in Kbin accomplish the same effect?

This is a brilliant way to get around spez's threats. The subreddit is open, the moderators are moderating, and any result of the poll is just the will of the community.

Cool, I learned something today! Thanks :)

Interesting. So when I'm connecting to peers for downloading, these connections can be initiated in both ways? And since I'm not currently port-forwarding, this means I can only actively find peers, rather than passively accepting incoming connections?

I see, thanks for clarifying! Even without port-forwarding, I'm able to make some connections. Is there just a more limited set of destination IPs I'm able to connect to? What dictates whether or not I'm able to connect?

Huh, I've been using a VPN for torrent without setting up any kind of port forwarding! Can someone explain why you might want to do this?

There's a whole bunch of stuff like this! Looks like this website has been collecting / recreating them: https://elgoog.im/

One of my favorites that I remember was "Zerg Rush" (https://elgoog.im/zergrush/) which was a tribute to StarCraft.

That’s very cool! In general, assuming a game runs well through proton, how’s the gaming performance between Linux and the same hardware on Windows? (You mentioned 1% lows are better, but what about average?)

I’m not super familiar with proton so I would think running in proton has some performance hit; is this not the case?
