Silicone soaked fabric is sometimes used for tents, but I guess that wouldn't be biodegradable then.

Hast du da eine Quelle für das Google involviert ist? Würde ja eigendlich der Grundannahme wiedersprechen das man weniger von US Anbietern abhängig sein will.

That makes about as much sense as "anarcho-capitalism". Of course it's no fun to have your mental gymnastics questioned outside of Hexbear 😅

But ok, for the sake of argument, maybe a dysfunctional late-stage AES is a more suitable ground for building something in the shell of the old. At least people in these states know from first hand experience just how bad state control can get.

Edit: curious that you left out China in your list of AES.

Naja, mag ja sein das es in Einzelfällen etwas komplizierter ist, aber verglichen mit den sonstigen Einschränkungen wie Zugausfällen und Überfüllung ist "an diesem einzelnen Halt können wir im Wagen 1&2 leider nicht die Türen öffnen" ja wohl das geringere Problem.

Ich will jetzt nicht schlecht über Bahnmitarbeiter sprechen (der Fisch stinkt vor allem vom Kopf), aber Dienst streng nach Vorschrift ist da doch leider auch sehr weit verbreitet.

No, as only the instance admin that hosts the original account can indirectly associate a user handle with actual "personal data". An admin of a federated instance can not, as they do not have any "personal data" to correlate it with.

If a user themselves posts "personal data" publicly it is not covered by the GDPR (IANAL) and thus not subject to mandatory deletion requests. Of course deleting everything is often the easiest course of action, but this is not legally required.

It mostly only effects their own usage to be banned from another server, so why would an instance admin care?

Lemmy doesn't federate "personal data" to other servers. The GDPR has a strict definition what can be "personal data". The Wikipedia has a good overview of the relevant laws in various countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_data

Requesting the deletion of posts and comments that they agreed to be federated when signing up is purely voluntary but usually done as it is fairly easy to ban a user and delete their contributions.

tl;dr: anfangs ein paar Großspenden von deutschen Millionären und ab jetzt staatliche Parteifinanzierung.

I don't think these people are necessarily "toxic users", but rather just deluded ones. It's a bit like that saying about privilege... you only think about it when someone is threatening to take it away.

The asymmetry of effort between moderators and regular participants is what forces this hidden sense of entitlement into the open.

[–] poVoq 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think this is the root of the “mods are assholes” issue. It’s not that the mods are power tripping. It’s that they are placed in a role that will lead inevitably to toxic behavior, unless someone turns out to be a solid gold saint, which few of us are.

While part of it, I think the bigger issue is that the typical male participant has "main character syndrome", and when a mod doesn't want to spend a lot of time with them specifically because they have better things to do, these participants turn to whining about unfair treatment, when in reality it is just their overinflated sense of entitlement.

Damit Züge mit mehr Wagen fahren können, müssten auf einigen Bahnhöfen Bahnsteige verlängert werden, gab Michael Wedel vom Fahrgastverband zu bedenken. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass solche Projekte in Deutschland bis zu zehn Jahre dauern können. Wie langwierig sie sein können, zeigt sich gerade auf der Linie RE1. Dort sollen nach dem Fahrplanwechsel Ende 2026 mehr achtteilige Züge verkehren. Damit sie an allen vorgesehenen Bahnhöfen halten können, muss DB InfraGo aber weitere Bahnsteige verlängern. Doch für Groß Kreutz, Götz und Briesen wird das voraussichtlich erst 2028 der Fall sein, hieß es bei der ODEG.

Das ist mal wieder ein Schildbürgerstreich... einfach im Sommer temporäre Verlängerungen aus Holz oder so bauen. Wenn man wollte ginge das problemlos.

The amount of 50.x Vs. 49.x votes lately is too damn high.

October 2024 meta post

October is upon us! And with it, a new Monthly Meta Post! Us admins check the comments to this post frequently, so in addition to having some of the latest news and announcements, it also acts as a sort of community square to discuss anything and everything related to the instance.

Onto the news of the month.

Communities in need of new mods

We regularly prune abandoned communities, but sometimes there are those that have been quite active in the past and would benefit from someone new taking the over and doing moderation. For example, these communities have seemingly inactive moderators:

So speak up if you would like to take over these communities as a mod, or maybe you are one of the mods of these communities and have just been lurking for several months? In both cases please let us know below, or otherwise we will consider pruning these communities next month.

Language specific Solarpunk communities

Since SLRPNK is primarily English speaking, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight some non-english Solarpunk communities on other Lemmy instances:

If you know any others, please let us know in the comments.

If you are interested in opening a language specific Solarpunk community here on SLRPNK (and are willing to moderate it well, given we admins are likely unable to support in languages we don't speak), let us know and we can discuss the details. Some Asian language communities for example would probably cover an interesting niche that is currently not served at all.

Photon as primary frontend for SLRPNK? (Update)

As mentioned in last month's update, we are considering to move our Photon frontend to the domain root to replace the current frontend. @punkisundead was so kind to develop a custom color scheme for it, emulating our current theming. So far there seem to be no blockers for this switch and neither were there any objections, so we will probably go ahead in the coming weeks and do the switch. The current frontend will be moved to a sub-domain most likely, and remain accessible there for those who prefer it.

Technical Updates

The previous issues with the NVMe drives and the wiki have been resolved, and currently the server is running without issues. This leaves us with the opportunity to play around with some new stuff and maybe fix the remaining smaller login issues with the wiki. One plan is to improve the audio/video call features of our Movim instance. We currently don't run our own STUN/TURN infrastructure, making it fail to connect sometimes, but that should be a relatively simple addition. Furthermore, it would be a nice preparation for the peer-to-peer group-call feature that is likely to land in Movim before the end of the year. There is also a new Matrix to XMPP gateway that might be worth exploring. It would allow contacting Matrix users in 1:1 chats and for Matrix users to enter our XMPP group-chats. Due to technical issues with the Matrix network, we will probably disable the reverse to prevent overloading the resources of our server. The support for incoming 1:1 messages might be interesting as Lemmy currently only has built in support for Matrix accounts/addresses in the profile (although we would love if that would change).

On a side note: lemmy.eco.br is the first additional Lemmy instance that implemented our XMPP account linking script and now also offers XMPP accounts to all of their approximately 2000 members. If you know a Lemmy instance admin that might be also interested in this, please let us know and we are happy to help set it up. The needed Ejabberd server is very low resource use, so it can be run next to Lemmy without problems.

Open Discussion

It’s now your turn to tell us what’s new! Any topic related to this community, our infrastructure, or the Fediverse at large is fair game. If you’ve created a new community, this is a great thread to tell us about it. All comments will get extra visibility up until the beginning of next month. Got questions? Ask’em!
