naneek, in Do you think Federated networks are the future or do you think Peer to Peer networks are the future? Which do you think is better?

I don’t understand the concept of peer to peer in this scenario. Isn’t lemmy essentially peer to peer?

sarahcanary,

Bit torrenting is an example of peer to peer. Blockchain theoretically works this way too.

No, each user is a “peer”, in Lemmy they access content through the instances.

They are talking something more like IPFS.

I don’t really know much about IPFS, but I think a downside to peer to peer is the potential for content to disappear because someone turns off their computer or quits whatever application. I can’t be the only person to have a torrent stall at 80% because the rest isn’t available in the network.

RandomVanGloboii, in Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?
@RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it avatar

I’ve used pCloud for three years. Initially it is a lot, especially if you’re not sure if you will commit to them, but if you do, you have one less hidden big expenditure masked as subscription, which nowadays is valuable. I wish they released their Linux version through Flatpak and not Appimage, though

Resolved3874,

I saw something about them the other day and thought to myself there is no way this is real because they were offering something like 10tb for like 800 bucks. Lifetime sub. I guess they mostly count on people just not using anywhere near that much storage.

biscuitsofdeath, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Nope

reksas, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Not really, I try to avoid it even when something i’m looking for is there, though sometimes I just cant be bothered to look elsewhere. I hope someone gathers all the useful information from there into archive somewhere, in case something happens to it.

inconel, in What's your real-life superpower?

Give a proper first aid for minor injuries. People tend to dissmiss minor burn/cut/bruises, but first aid right after it is what minimizes lingering pain,.

Anticorp, in [SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?

College is a great place to start. Unfortunately college is ridiculously expensive these days, but community college is still pretty affordable. There are so many things you don’t even know exist in the world right after highschool. The world also works a lot differently than you’ve seen so far, so a college level education is really beneficial. Go to community college, knock out some Gen Ed courses, and take some interesting classes for your electives. You’ll learn about stuff that you didn’t know existed and you may find that you’re passionate about some of those things.

Jaeger86, in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

Delta 8 and painting miniatures

Dinodicchellathicc,

I used to love making clay soldiers as a child. Maybe I’ll start again.

Jaeger86,

That’s cool, like I’m for sure not very good at this but it’s been a fun thing to learn, watching videos and buying like “good” paints and brushes. It’s been a neat hobby to mix up just playing video games and tv

FiftyShadesOfMyCow,

Hexahydrocannabinol Is also very effective and, in Germany at least, legal!

Jaeger86,

I’m in the godforsaken place that is Texas, so I’m using what I can get 🤣

FiftyShadesOfMyCow,

No weed = No Texas for me

Can’t wait for weed to become the new normal

Retrokhan, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?

The Case of the Golden Idol
Some people dislike the pixel-art style and weird character design, but I find it charming.

RustedSwitch, in What movie did you rewatch most often?
@RustedSwitch@lemmy.world avatar

I have 2 answers.

By choice: Growing up, I watched Strange Brew with my friends uncountable times.

Not by choice: for 10 years I worked slinging tvs in a hifi store. I watched the following movies so many times.

  • antz
  • a bugs life
  • toy story
  • dragonheart
  • Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone
  • Star Wars ep 1
  • the matrix
  • titan AE
  • Armageddon
  • wall-e
  • shrek
paddytokey,

Yeah I don’t really rewatch movies except maybe to sort of show them to other people. But I have a small child so I know my top movies are Moana and Encanto, just not by choice

s6original, in Can I use Google Play without a Sim card?

You don’t even need a phone.

Ok. Maybe you need a phone.

wallybeavis,

Technically, you correct. The best kind of correct! OP could use a tablet, a ChromeOS device, an emulator, I think even Google TVs have Play Store access…There’s probably someone out there right now trying to use their smart fridge to access the play store

deadcatbounce, in If people using Reddit are called Redditors, then what do we call people who use Lemmy?
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

Lemmings.

B20bob, in Lemmy.world is down because of a DDOS attack

Interesting. That explains it. I’m glad I decided to make another account over here where the sht just works. Seems to be less issues so far, is that other’s experience as well?

Same.

rf_, in What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?

Typing this 11 days after the initial question was asked and things have changed a lot since.

I’ve tried two apps: voyager (used to be called wefwef) and memmy.

Voyager has one problem for me on iOS 15.7: When I tap and hold an image no menu shows up, and I have no way of directly sharing an image. I can only share the link, but I don’t want to do that. So if i want to share memes directly with friends and family I can’t do that. I’ve tried to explain the problem in github but it seems like it’s not a high priority and difficult for them to reproduce. I wonder if this is rooted on voyager being a web app.

Memmy on the other hand has made great progress and for me is the winner because it allows to share the images directly like I used to in apollo. They’ve now fixed the swipe to close gesture being too harsh, and thus I have what I need.

Here’s what happens on voyager when I tap and hold an image I want to share: files.catbox.moe/ypz37b.mp4

obi_one, in do you guys shop on places like aliexpress/Temu and if you do what items have pleasantly surprised you?

I been getting things for my work from temu. Drill bits, router bits, sandpaper, etc and compared to what I get at lowes it’s a great deal.
