I recently stumbled upon a problem: I wanted the stdout of a command task to be printed after execution, so I toggled the global -v flag. However, the service module is apparently verbose as shit and printed like a 100 lines and uhh.... that's a costly tradeoff O_o

Seems like a PR for a task-level verbosity keyword has been proposed, yet rejected.

I'm aware it's possible to just register the stdout of the command and print it in a following debug task, but I wonder if there's a prettier solution.

How would you go about this? Ever encountered such a feeling?

Saw the post here regarding CentOS's off-springs and a couple of people brought up the excellent point of: why play with fire? Let's just stick to Debian.

The only disadvantage I currently see is the outdated packages, and I'm curious whether makedeb solves them. Does anyone here use it regularly? How stable and comfortable is it? Did you write your own PKGBUILDs?

One of my fav Python writeups. I love Python and luckily I get to dictate how it's being written in my job, so I'm forcing types down the through of my colleagues. Saved a bunch of debugging time, so I can waste more time on Lemmy while still getting paid. Good shit

My pictrs volume got quite huge and I wanna delete pics cached from other instances. The thing is I'm not sure which pics are from my instance and which aren't, because they all have cryptic filenames. Anyone knows of a way to differentiate?

$ cd lemmy-dir
$ du -sh *
456K    lemmy-ui
15G     pictrs
4.3G    postgres

Guys this is no longer funny please I feel literally chased by the "no space left" message. Please help I don't need those pics I did not upload them

This paragraph was fascinating to me:

One of Hamoud’s recent articles, titled “The fascist state is materializing,” mentioned the blacked-out front pages of Israel’s largest newspapers that were published to protest the passing of the first law of the judicial overhaul (the pages were in fact paid for by the hi-tech workers in the protest movement). According to Hamoud, “this mourning is nothing but an expression of the desire of the white colonialists from the liberal Zionist society to continue killing Palestinians and robbing them of their land, as they have done until now, under the immunity of the Supreme Court and in accordance with the standards of the International Criminal Court.”

This is a point that I haven't heard enough, at least in here in Israel, and sounds kinda conspiratorial, but it makes perfect sense: the existence of Israel's Supreme Court is used to create the impression of a functioning democracy, or at the very least an attempt to create one. All things considered, they aren't actively fighting the occupation itself, but rather occasionally prohibit some of its crimes, mostly related to destroying homes of Palestinians who committed reprisals.

The insane point is that despite the Supreme Court's complacency, its impact has been overly stressed by the right, and it's considered a blocker for occupying the rest of the west bank. They don't seem to consider the important functionality of it: helping us pretend we're not recklessly abusing Palestinians. The polite right (the one currently protesting to keep the Jew-only democracy) seems to understand it, I guess that's one of the reasons they're fighting. It's just a bit puzzling that the impolite right doesn't. Seems like self-destruction

This point is explored in the movie "The Law in These Parts" which I highly recommend.

Thoughts? ;)

Y'all should try it! I loved seeing it popping on other instances' /instances page, and seeing it polling other communities. Also changing the background in my theme was lit.

Lemmy's hosting documentation is a bit rough around the edges, especially the ARM situation (and its contemporary solution), so I had some extra tinkering to do. No shade at all yeah? I appreciate every bit of their work and I jotted down some points that I need to consolidate into a documentation PR soon.

Anyway, I feel like the extra @... on our usernames should be worn as a badge of honor you feel me? ;)
