I am seeing people starting to develop automod scripts. I hope to have one available to use soon!
There are scripts like this - https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-bot
But I don't think this can be given to individual community mods yet, as it needs to be installed on the server itself.
Am hoping the pace of development is faster than reddit's mod tools now that there is a lot of interest!
I'm waiting for more 3rd party app to be ported here, those should also have adequate modding tools as well
Been a stressful day at work. The only thing cheering me up is that despite my eyebags my skin is really improving. I look like I put on a filter today! Got some color on my cheeks compared to my usual dullness.
I'm also taking a rare day off tomorrow; I think I need to learn to relax and not worry about things I cannot control. Plus some extra workload at work, working six days a week, etc.. I haven't really been able to rest my eyes, but how to rest my eyes when I cannot sit still at home without my phone or the TV!
I swear I'm not smoking weed; but yeah it's red.
Get some eyedrops or eye lotion. Other than that I don't really know what good remedy other than touch more grass or just sleep 😂
Rest well buddy
Decided to distant myself from one of my friends, because I feel completely used and unsupported. So took a time off and went for a solo trip. And it felt refreshing to say the least. I don't feel as depressed because honestly that was my last straw, and having seen what i truly meant to him opened up my eyes and i really do deserve better people in my life. Anyway, I've been talking to this one guy, and honestly he's the sweetest person ever. He's really kind, not just to me but to strangers and the fact he constantly makes an effort is just something i had never dreamt to happen to me. I don't want this to end. I so don't want this to end. Sekian.

Sounds like the beginning of something wonderful!
I knowww. I met him for the first time the other day, and we went out for more than 12 hours. And been meeting up almost every day since then before i had to return back to Melaka. Even then he constantly kept up to date abt my family, and organised movie nights for us. The other day we talked the whole night till almost 6am on discord (we were also watching black mirror) 😅 I feel so lucky to have met him. I don't know what I did to be deserving of this person in my life. Oh my so sappy. 😂😂
Yesterday I saw a rabbit by the roadside munching on grass. When I approached it, it bolted to one of the houses in front of it.
Apparently pet rabbits are like your dogs ,they know how to get back home after they go out.
My family is not making zongzi aka bak chang this year because of my dad, ngl even though the process is fairly labor intensive, I actually have fun doing that.
because of my dad
What's the backstory here?
I just saw jelly dumplings made in little plastic bags. Ingenious, and it's got the right curves in the right places too. I might do that with my kids.
My dad went for a recent health check-up at a local KK and his blood sugar was high despite fasting. He's an ardent lover of zhong and can finish 4 in a go, so we decided to forgo making it this year as a sign of solidarity.
Oh that sucks. Hope he is ok with adjusting his lifestyle, else it will be a real problem some years on.
The doc recommended that he starts taking diabetes medication, but he adamantly refuses despite our insistence. He's making drastic changes to his lifestyle and diet instead in hopes of a more positive result when he's due for another check-up a few months from now.
iirc, the diabetes medication helps control blood sugar level, and that in turn keeps the cells in the whole body in the correct environment (meaning, the right glucose concentration) to operate properly and reliably.
Even if he does get his diet and exercise and weight and lifestyle in order within the next 6 months or whatever, the current few months with higher blood glucose is still not good for his organs.

Edit: awhh supposed to be portrait :( sorry for straining you guys' neck.
Haha, yeah it auto landscape for portrait picture, dunno why.
@dcx@monyet.cc is there a reason this happened? Or is it just lemmy jank?
uwu hi fluffy
I can't find related issues on GitHub, but it should be Lemmy's behaviour. I don't think dcx made any modifications to the source code, only deployed it using the provided Ansible script.
Yeah, i tried posting portrait on lemmy.world and it auto landscape it too. So it's lemmy jank
I haven't read much of the source code(need some time to figure things out), but I hope I'll find something eventually 🥹
Update: I found this issue on magick's github repo, but I can't find something similar so maybe it's missing a pictrs config, or pict-rs itself is having issues by maybe... not supporting -add-orient. :( Pict-rs is a rust service, so it'll probably be harder for me to dig into that as I'm not familiar with it...
I'll probably create a ticket for when I have time, need to finish up some IRL stuff and head to bed soon. Or if anyone wants to create the ticket also can
I'm not sure if all images are stored as webp, because when I viewed the image in element inspector it showed up as jpeg(it either happens to all image extensions or images are stored on webp but converted to jpeg when displaying).
Thanks for sending the link, I didn't manage to find this last night D: will take a look after work... I hope today no need to OT
Lemmy jank. These kinds of things will be fixed over time! Reddit was real janky when it first started too!
Lunch today: packed 2 hardboiled eggs from home, and got a pack of nasi lemak with sambal bawang this morning. Wanted kangkung too, but finished by the time I got there.
today's lunch for me was string beans with chicken and cauliflower stir-fry and 2 fried eggs.
I'm off for the rest of the week. Any idea what's a fun thing to do tonight to kickstart my loooong weekend?
🙊🙊🙊 he's gaming so not today T-T though staying up till 6 was a mistake, my body did not like it one bit 🤣
Maybe you can organize an impromptu nightout in this sub if you want. Just be careful for now.
So just signed up here today, so far I’ve only seen this monyet.cc which is the Malaysian page, but how do I explore other communities?
@dcx@monyet.cc I noticed that images are full sized. Will this eventually eat up the server's resources and bandwidth?
I find that for sharing and viewing (not pixel-peeping like what digital photographers do) 720p or 1080p sized images are good enough
Thanks for asking! :) In general, I'd prefer that users act as if there are no resource limitations. It's our job on the backend side to manage the implications of this. In the short term this isn't using up enough to be a huge worry. In the long term, lemmy should improve and make it easy for us to manage this.
I messaged him asking the same question as i setup two image-heavy sub, he said should be okay(for now, i think)
I heard from dcx that the images are the ones that eat the most storage(which is understandable) and yes it can eat resources quite fast. The main problem would be storage, while multiple large size, high res images being rendered could make a site load slower(but Lemmy's performance is pretty good so it should mostly only be a storage issue, at least for now)
I was also thinking about whether to bring this up to dcx regarding image compression, but perhaps we'll have to do that ourselves... Aside from storing a compressed version of the image, it's also possible to decompress it for viewing(if we further compress it), but depending on the compression/decompression algorithm it can be computationally costly(it depends on how much quality you want to preserve)
I considered that, but viewing old posts/comments is going to be a problem... In reality I don't think people actually delete old data but rather they stash them somewhere separately(and retrieve when necessary). But we'll still need to allocate storage for that I think?
Maybe it's possible to disable direct uploads and point to image hosts like https://postimages.org/ instead?
Ye I was thinking of that too, but we'll probably have to modify the source code or something unless other developers come up with that. I haven't tried doing that before myself, but it's certainly possible
How would this be sustained then? Donations? Also since it is hosted by a Malaysian, I'm assuming MCMC can come down much harder on this and shut it down easier than reddit if there are any content violations.

We'll probably find way when we get to that point.

There is protocol to follow for them. They have to ask for content take down first before actually shutting down. And i think the server isn't hosted in Malaysia.
Yep all of the above. We don't have a .my domain name or host and it's cheap to keep running. I'm sponsoring this initial period but if this becomes an ongoing thing we'll probably figure out donations or something, so the community can properly own the server. It's real cheap though, honestly
And who says I'm hosting anything? Psh it's all @admin. He's a good dude. He lives in Svalborgia.
Not getting the latest posts over on kbin.social. Hopefully the updates will sync faster across the Fediverse in the near future. I have this local account for back-up in the meanwhile!
