Godspeed! And may the the bbq sauce life raft carry you safely across these treacherous waters.

I'm wheezing at the amount of existential dread in your question about BBQ sauces. Sorry man, life may be shitty right now but at least you've got a good sense of humor.

I could kinda tolerate Reddit gold as an alternate way to donate. But then they added a boatload of awards and it just became annoying visual noise. I blocked all awards and I'm suprised there are people who miss them. Why not add a donator badge to user profiles if you want some kind of value for your donation?

Thank you! I'm a bit hesitant to log in through another site but I'll try hosting it on my server.

 

I love the style that was implemented for https://old.lemmy.world and https://old.lemmy.sdf.org. Are there any plans to add something similar for this instance? (Not sure if an old subdomain is the right choice for this, since there is already a theme selection in the profile settings.)

Thanks for your work!

I blocked every meme community I've seen so far. But I must admit the one you posted together with the specific description of your meme-taste was kinda cute. I might subscribe to your curated meme-collection.

I really like the simplicity of this workflow by StreakyCobra on HN (explained as a blog post here):

I use:

git init --bare $HOME/.myconf
alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.myconf/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config status.showUntrackedFiles no

where my ~/.myconf directory is a git bare repository. Then any file within the home folder can be versioned with normal commands like:

config status
config add .vimrc
config commit -m "Add vimrc"
config add .config/redshift.conf
config commit -m "Add redshift config"
config push
And so one…

No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration easily on new installation.

Buy me an oil rig and open a hacker space there. Pretty obvious choice no?
