1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

You're right! Ill just store all this data as static json files in a directory then
git repo is blockchain
and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.
bussy
the anus isnt self lubricating :(
As a man of science I prefer to test every theory.
That's less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.
For example, a directory full of spreadsheets.
Somewhere, a sysadmin is pulling his hair out
Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access "app"
welcome to lemmy im new also
@mugdad1 Trick is, I'm not on Lemmy.
wtf how do you mix between lemmy and mastdon i also have account there but i didn't thought that the content will be here also so please explain
Welcome to the lovely world of the Fediverse! Mastodon and Lemmy, among many other kinds of software, both run on ActivityPub. This means that even if the servers aren't both running Lemmy or Mastodon, they still speak the same language and can therefore understand the content of each other's posts (think of it as email, gmail.com can still send and receive mail to outlook.com). Other examples of AcitvityPub software are Misskey, Mbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, Piefed, PeerTube and many others that I haven't learned about yet. While they theoretically can all fetch and present posts from each other, due to the choices that each developer makes while designing their software, it might not be very possible to get every post from every software. For example, Mastodon is all about following people, and Lemmy about following communities. Even though Mastodon is able to follow Lemmy communities, Lemmy has (as of writing) no function to follow people (yet).
That's what federation is all about.
ok tried mentioning my self their it worked i didn"t knew about that yes i wondered how they are mixed sometimes thanks man
Filesystem-as-a-db is why MongoDB is webscale. You just turn it on and it scales right up.
everything is a file including a filesystem*
* including databases
If file systems are databases, then does that mean storing a sqlite db on a HDD is database inception?
@linuxmemes Wow, that worked!
How do you post from mastodon to lemmy?
@mogoh I just mentioned the group and it worked!
The way it's supposed to be!
I'm so happy for this omfgrotflolcopter
Oh, that's really cool. I hope there's more linkage between the twitter-like and reddit-like islands of the fediverse in the future; I'm somewhat interested in reading the former but it seems to be complicated to actually get federation with it.
wow, that's simple! Thx!
Federation.
Wait till you get a comment from threads. I've only had it happen once and it made me feel dirty.
@mogoh AFAIK, I should mention @linuxmemes handle to make the comment visible inside the original Lemmy thread.
@drq
It does!
@30p87 Okay, looks like we *finally* have *actual* groups in Fedi that are compatible across the board.
I've been waiting for this for so long, I've almost given up all hope.
Wait until you see Pixelfed and Mastodon's intercompatibility
Nearly all the posts in my Pixelfed global feed literally comes from Mastodon instances as if I'm on Mastodon with Pixelfed ui

Every Homestuck fan already knows this.
@RizzRustbolt What's your fetch modus, warrior?
"I have a system". Items are sorted randomly on to the top of "piles". I can retrieve any item from any pile, but pulling from anywhere except from the top of the pile destroys it.
And files are streams. 🎵 Islands in the stream. 🎵
🎵 That is what we awk 🎵
Honestly that's basically what CephFS is
And the worst FAT32
Well, that's ok, you are welcome.
And all code is data too, and all processes are data transformers
🤯😵
The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.
