can you define “machine”? if it’s a desktop: have you thought about an additional hdd/ssd? all the pros of dual booting, without the cons: you can simply unplug the windows drive if you install linux.

but still do a backup!

there was a thread some time ago: https://lemmy.ml/post/18385948

https://panoramax.fr/ stood out to me as a platform to host the images.

do you want to build a photo-rig for your bike? do you already have a 360° camera?

thanks for the insight, much appreciated!

thanks for your answer. that’s what i feared, but its good to be sure!

thanks for your comment and recommendation.

i use this at work, and its great. Only downside is, that the buttons are hard to identify and move depending on the size of the screenshot, so you always have to search for the function you need.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?

how would you federate? it comes natural for lemmy to have each community on a seperate server, but how would you do this for a project like dmoz?

i don’t think it would be a good idea that one server could own “art” for example, and no one else could contribute. and on the other side it would not be a good idea if everyone could add sites for “art” as then it’s just a federated wiki? you still would have to fight spam? do all entries in “art” have the same priority? or should there be some voting, or verifying from other instances maybe? but then rough instances could vote for each other?!

how big is the spam problem on lemmy?

Rich text in the modern world is almost exclusively solved by using markdown because it’s such a trivial solution.

markdown is not a trivial solution: there are many different implementations, it’s a barrier for non technical people and it allows you to embed any html, so you need an additional html sanitizer.

my definition of a “rich textbox” is a WYSIWYG field, and markdown does not help you with this?!

yes, you probably would not save the formatted text normalized over multiple database columns, and only use a single field for a the text with formatting embedded in html or another format, and another one with the text without formatting for possible full text search. but even if you would solve this using markdown (which limits you to a quite small subset of text formatting and bad extensibility) you would still need a good data format to store the formatted text in memory that allows you to render the text. and markdown does not help you with this either?!
