Mmm, like writing myspace profiles back in the day... I kinda dig that!

Thanks again for tackling that so quickly! I honestly didn't expect anything for a long while!

Amazing! Thank you! Definitely works.

Though, will it eventually become a checkbox for the specific hide score feature? Or could there be some kind of documentation for the other portions of the interface that might be able to be modified with this? An open-ended text box to put some code seems like a good way to confuse people who don't know the underlying code. It kinda feels like the old days of hunting for cheat codes in game magazines.

Interestingly, the score is still visible in the page inspector, but I'm not THAT addicted to post score, so it's not a problem lol. (I went to check to see what the page code looked like to try and understand what exactly was happening)

That solidifies my suspicion that it's a standard Android feature... I also don't get many spam calls, and only distinctly remember performing that action on this most recent phone.

Based on OP's comment "...I always assume that rejecting the call outright will also be detected as a deliberate action and therefore a person is on the other side...", I figured maybe they didn't know about that feature and/or have an iPhone and they somehow don't behave that way.

I also miss the old days of Android... I got a smartphone specifically to play Pokemon go in 2016 lol, up until that point I was still rocking one of those Casio Gzone indestructible flip-phones. Walked into WalMart, bought the cheapest LG whatever phone I could find (Android 5 I think?), caught a bazillion Pokemon. I remember buying multiple batteries for longer sessions, because you could just pop the back off and replace it on the go.

They run a custom vendor-locked distro named QTS, so they're not really as easy to modify as a normal system, I don't think you can even install programs like that.

I'll definitely bookmark it though if I ever get around to building my own solution, thanks!

At least on the default web-view, if you hover over the score, it displays a tooltip with both values.

In the post template, the ```


Displaying both instead of relying on the hover tooltip that probably doesn't work well on mobile should be even more trivial than hiding the value, but again I just think in if statements.

I don't know if it's a universal thing, I've never bothered to research further. On my several-year-old Oneplus phone (Android), if I single-press the power button, it mutes the ringer and vibrate but the call doesn't end or reject (I could still then go and answer or reject the call normally, it doesn't affect the user interface, just the ringer/vibrate). That's how I've been "rejecting" unknown calls for a long time. A simple, elegant solution that doesn't give the caller any hints.

 

Hello! TL;DR for the unnecessary long background info I just typed up then deleted:

  • I very recently moved to Lemm.ee after being addicted to Reddit and its karma system for the last decade. 2 days after I started posting, the notice that .ee would be shutting down was sent out.
  • Lemm.ee (and I believe, Lemmy itself) allows the hiding of the post/comment score
  • Piefed doesn't appear to offer that.
  • I am interested in self-hosting Piefed, hence my interest in this instead of simply moving my account to a Lemmy instance

I would still like to be able to upvote/downvote posts and comments to do my part in letting the sorting algorithm do its thing, but being able to hide the number on all posts/comments (especially my own) would be very helpful for people like me who are easily addicted to number-go-up mechanics (don't talk to me about the hours i have in Balatro)

In my effort to not just blindly suggest things without at least doing a bit of research myself, I'm poking around in the codebase. I definitely don't know enough to make any meaningful contributions, though.

I do see a "Show_scores" variable in app/api/alpha/views.py that's just set to a static True. It's surrounded by a bunch of other variables that are presented as options in the user settings page like the default post sort and home filter. I've also found some of the logic for the various sorting and hiding methods that use the score, and the logic for how to add/remove score from a post object. I also spied the Score: {{comment.up_votes - comment.down_votes}} that defines the score displayed in the post templates (but they don't seem to have any logic related to the show_scores option). I sort of understand the HTML and the Python, but the background database stuff and connecting the two is where I'm lost, so I don't have any useful suggestions beyond my naive gut reaction to try and replace the "comment.up_votes - comment.down_votes" or any instance of either alone to an empty string at page-load if the show_scores variable for the logged-in user is false (having no idea how to actually implement such a thing more elegantly than just adding more if statements to the HTML templates)

It looks like it was/is a planned feature, but wanted to let you know that there are people that would use it, if there was ever a question if it was a desired feature.

Thanks for reading!

I have no idea if it's a QNAP-wide issue, or just some specific models, I haven't bothered to do that much research. I'm guessing that the discs WOULD spin down if you have that option selected if they weren't constantly being pinged a couple times a minute. That constant pinging is the part I can't seem to track down.

An excerpt from a post I was reading while researching this sums it up prettt well: "700 posts about spindown/sleep/standby not working in the QNAP HDD Spin Down Forum. No one seems to be able to resolve it. Qnap clearly couldn't care less."

The only solution that I've found that seems to work is to install some other operating system on it, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying a turn-key NAS, and is slightly outside my comfort zone right now. I just ordered a kill-a-watt, so I'll see how much power it's taking with/without drives and go from there if it's worth my time to dive into an OS swap, or building a custom rig.

If you can figure out how to get a qnap to spin down its disks, please let me know lol. I've been searching for months and haven't found a reliable solution. I basically only need to access it once a day at MOST, so having the disks spinning away for like 99% of their life sucking down power is something I'd like to avoid. The problem seems to be that even with a perfectly clean slate, no services running, the system set up in their own RAID0 SSD pool, the HDD's, even with 0 bytes of data on them, are being pinged for access at least once a minute. I'm assuming it's some log being written to, but it's not anything visible in the file system, and I haven't been able to find any solution online, lots of people seem to have the same issue.

I'm tempted more and more every day to just grab one of those low-power embedded ITX boards and build up a custom rig. Other than the disk spinning constantly, the TS-462 does everything I need perfectly.

I've been building a small 10" server rack and have also been using the bone PLA for the "beige" parts to match my stack of variously-yellowed desktops, but yeah, this will be awesome to have "authentic" beige! The bone white is a little too brown/tan if you look too hard.

I should pre-order some. I wonder if it will be a constant offering, or if I should order like 4 rolls haha.

I discovered my all-time favorite video a while ago, and I feel like yes, sometimes the simplest most descriptive title is the best. Not quite as old as some of the ones here, but still, over a decade. Man time flies.

It's been 2 years, I have no idea. I definitely know that I didn't consciously choose to start hyperventilating and losing the edges of my vision... It's not like it's anything I worry about now, it was a highly situational kind of anxiety. I know I just need to suck it up and make an appointment.

[–] Bags@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Reasonable, logical thoughts would lead one to think that way... But unfortunately, anxiety works in mysterious ways.
