Been some times since I installed Windows, but Calamares is a great tool

The best way to install is to use a LIVE edition. This is useful beacuse you have a nice installer intergrated and you can try it before you have to install the OS on the computer.

For download of this edition, see www.debian.org/CD/live

From there, if you come from Windows, I would raccomend KDE, as it is stable and customizable. Search "KDE screenshot" to see what it looks like, and if you like it.

If you want this, here the direct URL to download: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-kde.iso

Debian should also be lite enough for older machines, and it is the most stable distro I've tried. With this OS, there are already web browser, media player, office suite,... but you can also download Steam, emulators and lots of software

For help you can DM me.

An idea for more content on Lemmy (and the fediverse): Relly (Relay+Lemmy) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

What we need is more people participating in the network, our collective goal should be to get all the people who are using reddit/twitter because “that’s where most people are” and provide them tools to migrate without making them feel like they are missing out on anything. This is how we can win.

Getting content from the outside, with all of the tools integrated in Relly, might just be the solution, I guess.

But what I really want to point out is that what we need is not more content per se. What we need is more people participating in the network, our collective goal should be to get all the people who are using reddit/twitter because “that’s where most people are” and provide them tools to migrate without making them feel like they are missing out on anything. This is how we can win.

This is cool! As said in another comment, I'm now also thinking about a reverse bot which posts from Lemmy to other platforms and keeps the original URL, so that people can partecipate, see the instance homepage, register, ... Just trying to improve this amazing environment!

So, Lemmy is sometime missing content. I don't regret switching from Reddit to Lemmy but, expecially for niche communities, the content isn't always here.

My idea is to fix this is a Fediverse-based content relay named Relly.

Relly allows you to select RSS feeds, Mastodon users, Mastodon hashtag and Mastodon instances (so, the top posts on that instance) as sources for content, and post them to your favourite Lemmy community.

There are several features which make Relly better and anti-spam:

  • Limits for a source (example: only up to 5 posts a day from this RSS feed)
  • Limits for a community (example: only up to 5 posts a day to !archlinux)
  • Global limits (example: only up to 10 posts made each day)
  • Opt-out for servers & communities (instance and community moderators will be able to ask to be put in the UNLIST, which blocks by default Relly on your instace/community; this isn't an anti-spam, as it is more a tool for avoiding common users to use Relly in a malicous and spammy way)
  • Order posts (so, if i have 10 RSS posts and 10 Mastodon posts and a global limit of 15 posts, you can either have the 10 RSS posts and the 5 most upvoted Mastodon posts, or some RSS posts and some Mastodon posts [always the most upvoted])
  • Multiple communities (post the same content to different communieties, or set up a fraction [ex. 50%], so that each post has a certain percentage to be posted on a certain community)
  • Dynamic limits: You can set an objective of active users/post made in the last 24 hours, so that the limits (either for a specific source, a specific community or globally) will be reduced. Example: if you set a objective of 50 posts, and 25 are made, the limits of Relly will be 50% of what they were originaly set to be; this allows Relly to completly stop posting on a community if the objective was already reached.
  • Do not repeat: before posting a link, checks if it was already posted in the community in a specific time period (by default, 48 hours)
  • Modularity: new post sources and post outputs can be implemented; an example could be an e-mail output, so that you can run Relly in local and recieve an e-mail everyday with your favourite news)

Relly is designed to be used by moderators of communities, but users can also use it. A user should always ask the moderator if it is OK to use it. A moderator should always ask the admins if it is OK to use it. Moderators, if they are the one using it, should also make public the list of sources, and allow the community to discuss possible edits to the list. The admins should put in the sidebar notes if Relly is OK to use for moderators of communities.

At the moment, Relly is just the idea that I presented here; I want to hear the community's feedback, and if the community is OK with this project being made, I will start working on it (I will make it in Rust and release under the MIT License).

I had to enter reddit (eeewww..) but I found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/e3mx1j/how_to_get_rss_feed_of_a_subreddit_with_top_posts/ Check the first comment.

I should check, but if i remeber correctly, i had some subreddits that i read on newsboat using some kind of option in the RSS link in order to get the top. (something like ?top=24hrs or like that)

Thanks for replying to my post.

For Mastodon: this isn't the same as you are saying with the user-follow. In your case, each users follows the users that they want to see, and they can partecipate in the comments of that post, but they will see ALL of the posts of that user in their timeline/feed. Here, the community choose what users/hashtags/instances to follow, the best posts get selected and they get posted, without being spammy. You don't have to see everything, but only the one that both were highly-ranked on Mastodon and they were upvoted on Lemmy. At the same time, you can't control exactly what sources are selected, but you can also interact with the community in order to drive the moderators to change the sources list, or you could just change/make a new community based on Relly. They are two different approches, that could live in symbiosis (ex. You select your own Mastodon users to follow, and the only Relly's Mastodon posts that appear are the one that you didn't already saw in your personal timeline [this would require collaboration with the Lemmy Server Development Team])

Some other additions:

  • This isn't the same as other bots that keep on posting contents, thanks to Limits, objectives, top posts, ...
  • Being moderated by the moderators/admin of the community/instance, the quality threshold is/should be higher.
  • Content is created by users who want more content. We can provide more content, and slowly stop pumping from the outside, until Lemmy is fully independent. (see Dynamic limits in my original post)
  • Now that I think of it, it might be a good idea to make a reverse bot, which takes the top posts from Lemmy and posts on Reddit/Mastodon/..., while providing the link to the original lemmy post, in order to drive more traffic and engagement

Hope this is useful!

Yes, and the fact that it doesn't post any link that was already posted in the last 48 hours avoid spamming.

I think that subreddits could be usable using the RSS feed system, as Reddit API are expensive and if we set up a RSS feed containing the top of 24 hours, we can extract links from there.

Problems with borrowing Traits (lemmy.world)
 

crosspostato da: https://lemmy.world/post/1916287

Hi everybody, I'm new to Rust.

So, I have a struct Panel which contains a data widget which implements the trait Widget I have to implement a function for Panel that uses another function that requires a type that implements Widget.

I tried Box<T>, Rc<T>, Box<dyn Widget, &T, but nothing, always compiler errors.

How can I fix this?

Allowing to add functionalities in Rust (lemmy.world)
 

Hi, I Just started working on a Emacs-inspired text editor in Rust.

Being insipred by Emacs, the most important part Is the possibiliy to implement new components.

My ideas were:

  • Rust-based scripting language, like Rhai
  • RustPython (slower, but more compatible and lots of people know Python)
  • PyO3 (Bigger executable and not that fast)
  • Wasm/Wasi (Cross-platform, but I don't know if the compatibility with Rust's hosted functions and structs is good)
  • Other binded language, like V8, Lua or SpiderMonkey
  • Compiled plugins, like .so or .DLL (Fast, but not compatible; there should be Rust plugin frameworks for implementing this, but I don't remember the name)

The elements to analyze are: speednees (consider it's a text editor, so...), easy-to-develop and Cross-platform (if possible, not that important), but the possibility to execute functions in the host Rust program is EXTREMELY important.

Thoughts?

Thanks in Advance.
