Pretty funny how Jerboa turns your version numbers into links to IP addresses :-) I would prefer if it didn’t do that, I imagine it’s rarely the intention.

Not sure this belongs in the Lemmy community.

Or just too busy.

I use Debian stable on desktop and it’s pretty great. It’s more up to date than Ubuntu LTS, and there wasn’t any extra tinkering needed in my case (and I’m a developer).

Granted, Stable used to be always very stale, even to the point of being nicknamed Debian Stale, but something has happened in recent years and it’s rarely the case anymore. A new release every two years helps, I guess.

Jerboa reminds me of RIF, which I’ve used for many years. But I think important software should be open source, so this is a good improvement. Even if RIF were to switch to Lemmy, I’d stay with Jerboa for this reason.

I’d like an option to always open in external browser, like RIF has. Now that’s an extra click each time.

Yeah kbin’s developer says his ddos counter-measures affects federation: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/10415

TBH I think it may be because kbin and even some lemmy servers are getting absolutely hammered right now.

This may be it. kbin.social was outright down a bit earlier, and now I get a captcha page. Perhaps the ActivityPub stuff gets a captcha too, which obviously would break it. I guess I’ll try again another time.

Thanks! I hate posting duplicates and I tried to search before posting, but that’s life :-(

Strongly agree. I never feel the need to collapse a comment, and every time I do it is by mistake.

And it’s progress we can hold on to forever. It’s not going to arbitrarily stop working some day.

Unfortunately yes, there’s a lot of that going around Lemmy. I hope an influx of new posters can counteract it a bit, but until then, expect a lot of “Russia did nothing wrong”.
