Almost a chuckle

I’m fairly certain it is only anonymous “on paper”. Behind closed doors, they know where it came from and what is expected in return.

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

Nothing that exciting. I just live in a very small community, quite a distance from any larger community, and I’m pretty sure that at the scale of that map - my community doesn’t exist. If I zoom in enough, maybe there’s something there, but I think it’s digital compression artefacts.

I don’t think I am - and I do like it.

India has 17% of the world’s population - on a scale like this image, that’s not far off “about half”! It looks right to me.

I feel this should be a Lemmy capability and not client specific? I’d like to see it too - I feel like I’m somehow disrespecting all these interesting looking communities just because I can’t understand the language.

Is the +C “new”? I have a B.Sc majoring in mathematics. Now I graduated over 30 years ago and I never used much that I leaned in my degree during my career - so I couldn’t differentiate or integrate to save my life today. But, the equations at least look familiar. The +C does not.

Wow - I’d forgotten about Flickr

Food looks good!

That was my first thought when I saw it too, but I went and looked and was reminded how bad my geography knowledge is!

There’s really not much in the southern hemisphere. I spent most of my life in Australia and generally thought of Africa and South America as being down under with us, but 2/3 of Africa is above the equator and even 10% of South America is “north”.

Of course! It’s amazing how this stuff just flows from the keyboard when you’re typing in a shell window, but feels awkward when typing in a Lemmy comment.

grep -i fried < menu

That used to be my approach, but since I got symmetric 1Gb/s fibre I’ve found that if I leave it uncapped anything I download completes in a few minutes and I don’t download anything popular so I don’t have to worry about uploading too much.

No h on the end - just Jerboa

That was nearly 6 years ago!

Protecting children would mean knowing which users are children, which would mean knowing the actual legal identity of every user of the platform. It’s never going to happen.

I assume “data” includes your container configuration files in this strategy?

It should be obvious from the context here, but you don’t just need geographic separation, you need “everything” separation. If you have all your data in the cloud, and you want disaster recovery capability, then you need at least two independent cloud providers.

I’m a little determined to stick with Python because I feel that I should - everyone should be able to code Python :-)

The main problem I have with it is the complex, relaxed, data structures. I’m finding that the type() command in interactive mode is helping a lot. I’m having lots of moments like - “Ah, I’m not down to the dict yet, I’m still in the list…”

Thank you for your detailed response. It’s a bit much for my proposed “project”. I won’t be using any libraries (other than built-in python json etc.). I’ve prototyped most of it and it’s currently about 15 lines of code. Literally one call to lemmy, a search to Musicbrainz and a playlist update to listenbrainz. I know it will grow lots as I make it a bit more robust, but it’s still very small.
