Damn I didn't know Solutech went out of business. I like(d) their filament and still have a couple spools left.

The link mentions that it is only ran as part of a debian or RPM package build. Not to mention that on Arch sshd is not linked against liblzma anyways.

I came to the harsh reality and conclusion that when it comes to platform maturity and stability, Kbin is years behind thanks to constant errors across the website sometimes, bugs and other instabilities, this also lead me to reconsider supporting and coming back to Lemmy

I started running my own personal kbin instance in June and had to face that realization a few months in. I just recently (~2 weeks ago) took it down and started up a lemmy server instead. It's something I should have done months ago because it requires an order of magnitude more resources to run kbin compared to lemmy. I guess it was too appealing to have both mastodon and lemmy in one place, but neither of those things worked well enough to be worth the trouble.

At any rate, your thread on reddit about kbin was one of the reasons I ventured out into the fediverse as well as one of the reasons I chose to run kbin over lemmy. Thanks for the time and effort you put into doing all that!

Install pacman-contrib, this gives you access to pacdiff which goes through all your pacnew files allowing you to see diffs of the changes and giving you different options to deal with them.

Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't seem to be opposed to the attribution, only the implementation. They have their own proposal called IPA:

pcpartpicker is a fantastic resource for putting together a new build.

As far as lemmy communities go, there's also !buildapc and !buildapc

Kbin allows user-level instance blocking, so that functionality should be feasible to implement in lemmy eventually.

There's some decent explanations in this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1097946

I made a post yesterday about this: https://lemmy.world/post/1065037

The TLDR is that your apps are not showing the real rotation of the image. Get an image editor app to fix them before submitting.

 

Why YSK: There's been many image posts to the fediverse that have incorrect rotations and this info should help you to prevent that situation for your own posts.

Your phone's camera app will add some metadata to the pictures you take called Exif data.
Most apps will simply add metadata that asks for the image to be rotated rather than actually rotating the image so that the picture-taking experience seems smoother/faster. This metadata is usually striped out by most websites when you submit them which leaves the image in the original rotation rather than the one you might have expected.

Why is this metadata removed by websites? The GPS location of where you took the picture can be included in that data as well as other sensitive info such as the date/time and the unique ID for your device. This data is often removed from the images to prevent leaking that info but not all sites will do this so it's good to make a habit of purging that info yourself before putting them online!

Use an image editor app that will show the real rotation and/or strip out the Exif metadata. There's a helpful article on XDA for both android and ios that shows how to disable the location data as well as some apps to remove exif data: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-view-remove-exif-data-android-ios/

I thought this is a pretty cool way to visualize the process and figured I'd share!
