Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I typed a really long comment in Memmy last night and my daughter bumped my hand, causing the reply window to swipe away and all my work was gone.

So “same,” basically, I guess.

Well, you don't typically type out a whole server config in one go. You shouldn't be manually editing it on a target host to begin with...

Actually you should never be "typing a really long" anything in a browser or an app. They're unreliable. Use a saving editor and when you're done, copy the final over.

Basics, people!
