I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn’t really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.

Or did I?


I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Cool, thanks. I’ll give that a read and see if I can make it work cleanly. At this point, it’s just an experiment, but I’ve wanted to have some mechanism for a standardized machine-readable community rules for a long time, specifically to put into the report and moderation workflows. If I can make it work cleanly, and if it’s not something already planned for Lemmy 1.0, I’m absolutely willing to make that a Tesseract feature.


  • What’s the significance of this syntax with regard to it not rendering?

      [//]: # (r1: Posts must be ...)
      [//]: # (r3: Posts must not be ...)
      [//]: # (r2: Posts must be ...)
    

    I’ve long wanted a somewhat standardized way to define community rules so I could do exactly what you were describing in your issue, but I’m not clear on how/why that syntax doesn’t render.

    I tried it in Tesseract, which admittedly use a different markdown renderer than other apps, and the first line shows but the second and third don’t.

    If other apps can get on board with that, then I may need to understand what’s happening in that syntax to make sure it doesn’t render.








  • Ugh. Thanks. It’s quite possible, though maybe just a regional one? I did inadvertently block one of the IPs Let’s Encrypt uses for secondary validation, so this may be another case of that.

    I get a shitload of bad traffic from the southeast Asia area (mostly Philippines/Singapore AWS) and have taken to blanket blocking their whole routes rather than constantly playing whack-a-mole. Fail2ban only goes so far for case-by-case.

    Here’s the image from the meme from an alternate source:




  • It kinda can but not as easily.

    Back when I just downloaded everything under the sun on Napster/Limewire, I’d make highly curated CDs of known-hits as well as ones where I sprinkle in some random songs that were in my downloads that I’d never heard before. Not exactly the same, but I’ve definitely listened to a CD I made and been like “what’s that song?! I love it!”.

    Plus, for road trips, everyone would usually burn a CD or two of their own to swap in (a precursor to “pass the aux cord”) so there was some novelty/variety.





  • I built my first (and so far only) ebike in 2013. Thing was a death trap (did not upgrade the brakes 🤦‍♂️) but I loved it, and it was crazy fun to ride.

    Lived too far to e-bike to work but would bring it with me to do around-town errands on breaks at work. Every time I had to park it outside to run into a store, I felt exactly like the meme. The battery alone was $700 sitting out in the open.
