Yes, that does sound reasonable

Well yes, we use double quotes as you said, it may be annoying, but not difficult, sanitization is another matter.
I actually don't remember of any terminal application that has issues with that, that's why I made the original question

Edit: I understood now why you mentioned sanitization, double quotes shouldn't be an issue because in filenames they are forbidden by the OS usually, that's on the user if they try

Unpopular opinion maybe, but that's just called bad programming.
For strictly code we can't use spaces obviously, user input, on the other hand, should be handled gracefully always, not doing so is like those platforms that only supported ASCII even after the international userbase was already very prominent because the devs were just too lazy to update their systems to use Unicode (Windows is still like that with Powershell I discovered recently... shudders)

I don't disagree, though I think they're just a very minor annoyance that is easily adjusted with double quotes and tab autocompletion.
Personally I prefer to use spaces for many user facing files, like documents and images/media

Curious, where was the dot as separator for torrents born? Some kind of software limitation?

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions!
Do keep them coming as it might be helpful for others who come across this, since it seems quite a few users are (understandably) bleeding from lemmy.world these days, like myself


I was looking for a solid instance to move to, but I'm getting burned out from trying to find the perfect instance that:

  • is based in a country with reasonable privacy reputation (if it still fits the bill, outside Europe too is fine)
  • allows creating communities without admin approval (I'm willing to try getting into one of those too if needed, hopefully it would be accepting of creating niche communities though)
  • doesn't defederate indiscriminately

The tool I used is lemmyverse.net but it seems the filtering isn't working great, or I just don't understand it, e.g. I filter by Italian language and the only Italian instance I know (feddit.it) doesn't show up, while a slew of irrelevant ones is listed (Lemmy Português is there??)

Sorry if I sound so needy, maybe I'm just overthinking it, since posts are public and indexable by anyone. Do say so, if I should chill out and just pick one of the usual ones like lemm.ee etc.

P.S. I would love to self-host, but I'm currently not able to either, I don't have enough technical expertise.

 

Is it ok to post personal projects regardless of size?
What I mean is, if we can post, does it have to be something actually good and useful, or can it be little toy projects as well?

If that's your only gripe with it, you can still access them by using one of the simple web servers available running inside Termux, that will also allow you to avoid CORS related problems, in fact it is the currently suggested method on MDN

Well that's fucking bleak, at least I got a good chuckle out of this

NPM’s novel implant for drug delivery.

So that's how they keep JavaScript devs hooked!

 

Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?
Matt did say "ASAP" at the time. Start of July saying they're still working on it, did he simply underestimate how big of an undertaking it would be?
