You can type reset to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.

Thank you for contributing to the magic if the old school internet.

My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?

There are plenty of instances that copy the original content. As an instance owner that runs a only a single project specific community, I should be able to decide what content is available on my domain, and what isn’t. Don’t you think?

Aside from the questionable content, there is also legal issues around it that I’d rather not deal with.

There is no way to exclude individual communities. The post URLs are generic, like /post/1234. From nginx or other proxies, I cannot tell what community they belong to. I would love to have my own be searchable, but not at the price of tainting my project’s reputation.

Sharded MySQL is my nightmare, and my proudest achievement at the same time. I designed and implemented an architecture for a product that is backed by heavily sharded MySQL servers, a total of over 700 servers worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of tables. It’s a fun, and a terrible space to live in. You may actually enjoy this blog post I wrote. Not many will: https://blog.heckel.io/2021/10/19/lossless-mysql-semi-sync-replication-and-automated-failover/

As for your actual problem of how to disconnect, I’d suggest to find another problem to solve and think about. Something that is yours, not the company’s. Like an open source project, or a side gig of some sort. That’s what I do.

There are install steps here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/install/ and config options here: https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/

I think that’s the most creative one I’ve ever heard. Well done.

The cash doesn’t vanish if you spend it according to the rules, so you do not have to fear defrauding people. If you do not follow the rules, it’ll go poof.

It’s magical money. If you spend the money according to the rules, it will not disappear from the person you bought things from. But if you fake-spend it, like “buying” something from your friend, then it’ll go poof.

They dress casually, but it still looks freaking fancy.

How do you make online payments with actual physical cash? 😬

😂 🙃

This has been my go to answer if the hair stylist asked what I’d do. I’d go to different jewlery stores, because they’d still call the cops if you wanna buy stuff for a million.

(I forgot to add the “no returning items” rule; but since you added the “selling it off” part I think it’s fine, hehe)

Nope. You can’t buy a house with cash in 1hr. Unless you just randomly walk up to a home owner and ask them to sell their house to you. And even then, they’d be suspicious if you gave them cash. They’d think it’s counterfeit money.

Do you really think they are not going to call the cops if a dude shows up with $1 million in cash to buy cars, asking to speed up the transaction? No way are they not gonna.

I’d buy at least 10 snickers and a bottle of wine or something, right?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Cool thanks

This is neat, but it should really be part of Lemmy to be able to link between instances in a way that rewrites the link to your own instance, and makes subscribing easier.

Sorry I just saw this. I chuckled a little bit when you said “when you get the time”, given that you literally have a back lock as high as the Empire State building ;-)

I’m sure there are other volunteers who can help. I’ll reach out to the Unified Push guys.
