So it’s the ancient Roman blacksmith’s version of Benchy. Got it

The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)

Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)

🤤 Anyone else feeling oddly ready to eat all of a sudden?

It’s just your OpenStreetMap username, doesn’t have to a real name. You can set “your name” to be some anonymous gibberish if you’d like

I find the H option (from the float package iirc) to work much better than h! for my needs. The picture will still end up on the next page if it doesn’t fit in the current one, but it won’t fill the rest of the page with the text I wanted after the picture and mess everything up

The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

• Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
• Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
• Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)

“A pig without 3.14 is 9.8”

3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)

“pig” without “pi” is “g” (not math, just letters)

g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²

Incredibly relevant Tom Scott
