You can mourn the loss of the tolerant left as you fuck all the way off, bigot.

Ah fuck well you just determined the course of my weekend with this comment

If it’s ever something you want to try, it’s one of the easier servers to self host and there’s a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn’t any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.

This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.

One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.

EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I’m happy to be corrected on that, though.

Lol I used a script to overwrite my 13 years of fairly active redditing with a join-lemmy.org link

Good call. I’ll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you

Edit: Should be good now

I went ahead and just cloned it to my personal Gittea and made it public

I get to be that guy! I’m so excited!

In power strips, the lights are (in the overwhelming majority of cases) actually a neon bulb! They’re cheaper for that specific purpose because they can be powered directly off of the mains power with a single resistor.

Your point is entirely valid and I bear the same cross, this is just a fun fact you can use to impress colleagues, strangers, and potential lovers, dazzling them with your deep esoteric knowledge of and passion for illuminators in power strips.

Terry, don’t!

This is all good info except for the gender thing. The round/long difference is just a growth habit. Watermelon plants (and other cucurbits like squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, etc) produce male and female flowers. Only the female flowers produce fruit and must be pollinated by a male flower to do so.
