Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.

  • Clothes company cannot "cancel" an order that hasn't shipped, must ship it and do a return.

    Jump

  • I've had similar with other items in the sense of wait several days, no shipping notice so a week later message to cancel it, then several hours later get a ship notice and reply that 'oh it went out already and you would have to wait to send it back'.

    I'm guessing to do with some kind of drop shop inventory nonsense, makes no sense otherwise.

  • Can anyone help identify this spider? Found on a celing in Austria.

    Jump

  • Maybe they got bit by it and had to type quick before the venom took hold so they missed some letters?

  • Probably something that'll kill you.

  • Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood?

    Jump

  • Didn't start mine until mid 30s but after it finally got me out of the 'just another job' ranks and put me into decent career class work. Not a sure thing, but in my case it was a sizable change in my life path.

  • Trump threatens new 50% tariffs on China if Beijing doesn't remove retaliatory duties: Live updates

    Jump

  • Because of course we now do official government comms via a fascist echo chamber app, perfectly normal state of affairs.

    How to transfer a lot of data?

    Jump

  • Was the prior drive set in some kind of raid set or just individuals, and what are the old drive capacity vs new?

    I guess it depends a lot on what your doing with the server. If it's pure data store I would just boot off a USB and give yourself all the data space since it's quite likely all running in ram anyhow.

    If you run apps out of it and need the M2 for swap and rapid cache storage the fastest would likely be make a 2 drive zpool, copy a single to it, and repeat as needed until you have it all copied over, then add the 3rd to the zpool

  • What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing?

    Jump

  • You know, hexbear is really a fine example of what you get when the auth right tries to do a parody version of leftists.

  • Ibis-Wiki (A federated encyclopaedia)

    Jump

  • Wikipedia though has a strong reputation for being well cited and due in large part to the huge user base glaring inaccuracies get corrected quickly. I saw a study at one point comparing them to a traditional encyclopedia and they had of course faster shifting errors, but on average where pretty on par for accuracy.

    A federated system where I or any other knucklehead could put up an instance isn't going to have that 'checked by 1000 eyes' factor going so much, or if it did ever get to that point then they've likely become the defacto 'real' federated encyclopedia and the others inherently suspect.

    All in all It's a neat idea, but sounds like it'd be rife with chaotic discord. As a general thing if something is on the standard Wikipedia I can be pretty sure it's reasonably accurate without having to research who posted it, and I can torrent a copy of the whole thing as I just recently found out.

  • Target can’t get its footing after its DEI program demise and a 40-day boycott against the retailer. Foot traffic at stores is down for the eighth consecutive week

  • Costco works well to replace Target so far.

  • My guess, around the time they buy up all the free floating stocks on the market.

  • Ibis-Wiki (A federated encyclopaedia)

    Jump

  • Generally yeah, the same could be said for Lemmy and their communities. The challenge is when you have federated systems like this you have to largely take it as good faith that instance owners will keep reasonably updated software and good practices so you don't end up with a pile of spam edits.

    With communal wiki type systems as a whole you end up with the question of credibility. Some people would cite only well researched and validated studies, and some people whole heatedly believe that a religious text was written by divine hand and this must be true. How do you reconcile those two without giving weight to things that are patently nonsense, aka you must teach the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster to be fair to all?

  • You can bet every little bounce up it does is from his buddies buying up the dip until he drops the whole deal to restore things to normal. Suddenly the rich own an even higher % than they did before in just a few week's time.

  • Ibis-Wiki (A federated encyclopaedia)

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's the part that I was referencing to. If you have a topic called 'the sky is' on multiple instances, and they all say a different color, it rather defeats the purpose of an encyclopedia as some sort of source of truth if you have to pick which one is right.

  • Ibis-Wiki (A federated encyclopaedia)

    Jump

  • That could be, I was thinking if the pages were more like the communities. I would have to think they need to be for any kind of moderation, otherwise who approves edits or has edit permissions? If someone else doesn't agree with the vision on the existing page/thread what stops someone from putting up an alternate version?

  • Missing an /s?

    Take a look at the 'news' on various instances like hexbear vs world and it's night and day. An encyclopedia is meant to be factually reliable, but if this works like it does here you would have the equivalent of conservapedia and prolewiki sitting side by side as 'true'.
