For that price point and management, I sure hope that helps kbin easier for others to get more instances going. Even if folks have a 1-5 user instance $10/mo is great!

Still love the GameCube and games. This is what we introduced the kids too and it’s been fun watching them play the games that brought me a lot of fun too.

  • Mario Kart

  • Super smash brothers

  • Crazy Taxi

Could find the RCA connections on tvs now, but the Wii was great in the backward compatibility! Dolphin worked great for some games too, and a controller USB adapter and we’re in business!

I never got any help asking questions there anyways. Answers I got back we’re trollish. When I provide and answer it can’t be the answer as it’s based on your own reputation score which you can’t get but answering questions. It seems like a flawed system. Didn’t know they had mods either. Never really got any solutions either from stack overflow, unless you read every comment for the right answer.

Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.

Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.

Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.

Could you see anything…? All kbin.social items being blocked, not just the content?

Also seems like Dansup is finding a lot of spam accounts on lemmy instances too. He manages the fedidb of all the fediverse software and platforms with various metrics

you could for sure. If you're not using a git service for other projects I can see the hesitation of creating an account just for a single issue. But then again, Codeberg is a great alternative to GitHub. Either way I do think some minor improvements could be made.

I use these settings, but the bottom two will show you the new posts/treads in the subscribed magazine. I too, was getting a lot of notifications for every new item in kbin I subscribed to. I changed it to just what I posts and comments. I don't mind setting my "home" screen to my subscribed content and then going back to all the federated content as well. I do want to know when someone replies to my content so I can continue the conversation better.

I’ve seen some strange things too with mark down especially in the title of posts if there are links. I also think the markdown processor for kbin could use an update.

I did create this this issue so hopefully there’s some better markdown support in the future.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “the fediverse isn’t built for that kind of privacy”. The fediverse does have privacy post options all built into the platform you’re using. Mastodon allows private posts, only those who follow you. Kbin is a mashup of Reddit style threads and microblog timeline posts.

Kbin was developed to show upvotes and boosts as those are synonymous to other platforms like mastodon as favorites and boosts.

The lemmy platform is more “private” that on lemmy posts you don’t see this as much. With federation and interacting similarly between ecosystems you start seeing the minor differences.

I do think that changes as possible and that is what makes the open source of the platforms we’re using to be important and requires community input for improvements and suggestions as a whole.

The irony of the magazine name and bricking the magazine. Glad you got it fixed!

I recently switched to Fedora to help get into the Arch based Linux realm. Historically been on Debian based distros. You can’t go wrong with many of the “mainstream” distributions as your first intro to Linux. If you come across any issues ask away and that it a how you’ll learn more about how Linux works, Arch, etc with your hardware too.

 

What is the Loop Device disk with snapd/snaps/gnome-* is this part of an upgrade process?

 

Welcome to the new /m/Powershell magazine on kbin.social. Feel free to introduce your self, how you got started using Powershell, your primary use, and any neat projects you've worked on.

I've been using Powershell in my software deployment position for the last 5 years to help automate our install and server needs, and have been loving every minute of it.

 

With Federation on pause for now on kbin.social, I wonder how the fediverse will handle all the outgoing and incoming federation requests then. Reminds me of the Twitter migration and things stalled for a few days.

I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.

 

What projects have you completed with Powershell this month? I've just finished Bookmarks for Powershell: https://codeberg.org/cjerrington/Bookmarks

 

Starting off the space with some articles on Powershell Articles and will share more from across the web
