Let me guess - you think Elon was saying 'from my heart to yours', right?

They can remember the past - they just don't care.

Each instance usually (but not always) represents a cultural group so if one group considers themselves unsafe around a different cultural group defederation is a good way to protect their users. Thats not breaking the intent of federation but a usable feature of it There's nothing to stop any user who feels stymied by their home instances federation policy from either creating a second account elsewhere or moving their existing one.

I'm not 100% sure what Lemmy Explorer is....but assuming its a tool to help you find communities?

If thats so, just make a note of the community address, switch back to your logged in account and search for that community whilst logged in to your piefed.social account

I know this all feels disorientating and needlessly confusing but its worth it. Stick with it and keep asking for help when needed.

Imagine if instead of just reddit.com there was also reddit.org and reddit.co.uk and reddit.nl and reddit.social and (etc etc) all on a different server from each other and each with its own set of users and subreddits. But each user and each subreddit could be viewed and joined by any user from any server - that's Lemmy.

So you're on the piefed.social server (but on the fediverse servers are called 'instances') and I'm on the lemmy.blahaj.zone instance but we can both see, subscribe to and post to a community (the Lemmy name for subreddits) on an instance neither of us are members of - the asklemmy community on the lemmy.world instance.

Take a look at your screen (or app if you're on mobile) and you'll see 'Local', 'Subscribed' and 'All'. If you select 'Local' you will see a list of posts from Communities that are on your home instance (which is piefed.social in your case). If you selected 'Subscribed' you'd see posts from all the Communities you chose to join/subscribe to across all instances. If you choose 'All' you'll see posts from the entirety of Lemmy whether you subscribed to them or not. Whichever view you choose can be sorted by things like 'new', 'active', 'hot' etc.

To find Communities you're interested in joining, use the Search function, type in a keyword and select 'Communities'.

Cut, otherwise you do a line and you wake up in A&E.

Thunderbird Pro will apparently be:

This email thing plus Thunderbird Send (which is basically https://send.vis.ee/), Thunderbird Appointment - a scheduling tool and Thunderbird Assist, which is:

"...at least for now, being cautiously labeled as “an experiment” that will allow users to take advantage of AI features within their email. However, the goal is to be lightweight enough that the language models can be run locally on a user’s PC in the interest of privacy. This service is being developed in partnership with Flower AI, which leverages Nvidia’s confidential compute to provide private remote processing in the event a user’s PC isn’t powerful enough. Sipes emphasizes that any remote processing features attached to Thunderbird Assist will always be optional, in the interest of ensuring complete user privacy."

So AI shit that nobody asked for or wants.

Archive link for anyone else for whom that article crashed their tab.

 

As per title really. I need a backup solution for backing up my home directory to an external USB drive that;

  1. I can schedule to run x times per week
  2. Encrypts the contents (into an encrypted zip file is fine)
  3. Puts the encrypted backup onto an external USB drive
  4. Keeps the last x amount of backups.

I've found loads that can do one or more of these things but not all of them. I really like LuckyBackup for example but it doesn't encrypt. I just want something I can set and forget.

System is LMDE 6 (Faye).
