Huh? It’s just greedy owners. Don’t overthink it

This John Hussman, the guy that continually predicted a crash during the strongest bull run in stock market history?

2010: “Investors dangerously underestimate the risk of an abrupt and possibly severe equity market plunge.”

2011: “the expected return/risk profile of the stock market has shifted to hard-negative.”

2012: “The present menu of investment opportunities continues to be among the worst in history.”

2013: “stock returns prospectively are very low.”

2014: “What concerns us beyond valuations is the full ensemble of overvalued, overbought, overbullish conditions.”

2015: “Exit now.”

2016: “current extremes imply 40-55 percent market losses…. These are not worst-case scenarios, but run-of-the-mill expectations.” 2017: “the most broadly overvalued moment in market history.”

2018: “The music is fading out, and a trap-door has opened up in the floor, but they’re still dancing.”

2019: “a projected 50-65 percent market loss over the completion of this cycle is actually somewhat optimistic.”

My all time favorite

Can you link to a process for purging bot accounts?

Sensationalist headline? What are you talking about

That can't be real - there is no better option for <10mbps?

This is super helpful, thanks! I’m also in the market for one of these 3.

My fiancé and I really enjoy Space Realms, and we’ve played a decent amount of Dominion. She isn’t into games with large setup/tear down, and we have a 1 year old which makes finding time challenging.

Which of the three do you think we should consider?

I absolutely love pho, but when I went to Vietnam I ate Bun Cha constantly. Soooo good.

Thanks. Any chance you could share a link so I know what to look for?

How do I avoid these?

[–] tyfi@wirebase.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the only correct answer if you are right handed, as it is the most efficient to easily look at your phone screen.

I also noticed this when I was living in LATAM. Many coworkers and toothbrushes at work and would brush right after lunch.

 

I'm looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy.

The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable -- highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo.

We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it.

Shoot me a PM if interested!

Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.

We have set up Matrix.org channels. You can join here: https://matrix.to/#/#fedicollective:matrix.org

 

Hi all. Very happy to see Lemmy’s success so far. I’m interested in contributing to Lemmy’s growth.

At this stage, the engineering team should consider bringing some additional public-facing structure, such as:

1. Published roadmap
2. Performance metrics and reporting
3. Community outreach - keeping user base in the loop on roadmap, launches, metrics, growing pains 

Lemmy will continue to grow regardless, however bringing some structure will onboard new users faster and add trust to Lemmy’s image. Trust factor is important - Reddit refugees are evaluating alternatives to Reddit, and are ultimately choosing off relatively little information.

What is the best way to get involved in new initiatives for Lemmy? I have experience with this type of work (engineering manager at a large tech company), focused on building teams, product roadmaps, and continually improving customer experiences through engineering.

 

Any docker recommendations for a utility that can update DNS, based on current external IP?

I've used ddclient in the past, but it seems like its not working anymore, oddly.

 
 

I would like to change the default View behavior from Local to All for newly signed up users on my small instance. Is this possible?

In Admin settings, I see a setting called "listing type", but changing this did not have an effect.
