I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Air fryer is the best

    It really is. I was late to the air fryer game assuming they were just another kitchen gimmick, but once I caved to peer pressure and bought one, I can’t imagine not having one.

    but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer

    I think that’s what the “Pizza” button on mine does. You can hear it kicking on and off at a weird cadence similar to but more frequent than defrost, so I assume that’s how it works.

    Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza

    I’ve never tried that, but we have baked deep dish style in a cast iron frying pan.







  • Matrix also is close to checking all the boxes, but it wasnt clear how it works on mobile (Element seemed like the mobile app that was recommended).

    I run Matrix, and it’s pretty great. Though I would recommend Schildichat over Element for the mobile app. I had all kinds of issues with Element Mobile somehow screwing up the E2EE keys for my other sessions. Nothing seemed to fix it except removing my account from it completely. Switched to Schildichat and haven’t had that issue since.


  • Haven’t messed with it personally (yet), but I’ve seen some examples where Caddy can do some cool stuff (I think the example I saw recently was defining routes that can call an arbitrary program with the HTTP request details).

    I use Nginx almost exclusively (I’ve got HAProxy in the mix, too, but it’s strictly for load balancing). Everyone always keeps recommending Traefik to me, but from what I’ve seen, it doesn’t do anything Nginx can’t already do, and the config is all bizarre and way less intuitive. Not saying it’s bad, just not for me. (This is not an invitation to proselytize Traefix at me lol).

    Use whatever works for you.






  • I wasn’t really looking at the MAU stats when I made this; it just felt like it’s been more actively lately (both good and bad). Unfortunate the numbers are actually trending downward.

    For one thing, people might be turning away due to the upcoming USA election

    Possibly. I’ve gone into self-imposed social media blackouts during election season many a time. Sometimes you just need a break.

    Whenever I go looking for examples of such I usually find it in 0-60 seconds, by going to Lemmy.ml and browsing by Local … people are not willing to put up with such, and seem to be leaving us

    Yeah. I have felt for a while that ml being the official or at least de facto flagship instance is doing more harm than good. I’m not going to tell them how to run their instance, but I am sad and frustrated that it seems to turn so many people away under the impression the whole fediverse is like that.

    I’m cool with Fedizens 😀.




  • As a Reddit refugee myself,I can’t disagree with that. But I will clarify that there’s generally two kinds of Reddit Refugees, though:

    • The kind that got fed up with Reddit and wants to be part of something better
    • The people who were banned from Reddit and think this is some kind of safe haven to continue acting on their worst impulses that got them banned elsewhere.

    The meme is largely referencing the latter.
