Broken input sanitization probably.

Issue will thankfully no longer exist in the next lemmy release.

Because the audiophile is broke, and will have to listen to some music on a lowly device, but the craving for some placebo is still there.

EDIT: btw, the bitrate is missing a k in your command 😉

Not audiophilic enough.

There is no need to talk about an imaginary version of IPFS. GNUnet already exists. You can add that to the list of actually superior technologies that long predates IPFS.

As I mentioned, IPFS is nothing but very basic tech that got overhyped to junior/uninformed developers, and crypto scam victims.

Besides being overhyped basic tech where way more useful and practical solutions existed for decades (Freenet existed since year 2000 btw, and Tahoe-LAFS since 2007), there is nothing private about IPFS. This is a dangerous message to purport.

IPFS is as practically useful as NFTs. No wonder the two crowds connected well!

iroh is an attempt to create a useful and practical IPFS. But none of the bigger practical features is implemented yet. And the design itself doesn’t appear to be finalized. I’m willing to give iroh a chance, although the close proximity to the IPFS crowd doesn’t fill one with confidence.

From a technical point of view, I’d rather Lemmy didn’t federate except with itself, and maybe possibly also with similar networks, but only as long as that doesn’t hold Lemmy back from doing its own thing.

Getting ActivityPub federation to work reliably between Lemmy instances alone is already proving challenging for developers.

From a personal point of view, I have zero interest in what I consider a shit paradigm of social communication. The “micro” lie in micro-blogging, as you quickly conceded, is long gone. The interface is horrible for effective exchange of well-thought ideas. The social networks formed are hypernormalized echo chambers of unhinged ranting faux intellectuals and champagne activists, usually led by a cult of personality or two who are tasked with making sure the one-upping posturing game continues forever.

When you are about to "micro"blog, presumably you will be writing something coherent enough that it relates to a certain subject of interest to a section of the public. It is also presumably meant to be viewable by the public since you’re not sharing it in a private group chat.

If that’s the case, there should be a community in Lemmy where those interested in that subject congregate. That community would either be low-traffic, then you can make your "micro"blog a post there breathing more live into it. Or it would be a high-traffic one, in that case a lounge/chat/MegaThread post should exist where you can chat with people interested in that subject, in an interface that actually facilitates good discussion.

Sort by “best” is coming to Lemmy, in case you didn’t know.

Imagine if media in Lemmy was all hosted in a distributed network filesystem like Iroh, where instances only function as inserters and exit nodes for that media.

This way, smaller instances can have a smaller cache corresponding to the media that was actually needed by it (recently). And independent peers can help by participating in the distributed file-system network without running instances themselves.

Would you have escaped them a priori?

Do you consider markdown-it’s typographic replacements common knowledge, and thus intuitively escapable?

Should lemmy apps be pushed to use markdown-it, in your opinion?

their live demo

I meant the markdown-it live demo.

I wrote a separate post about this.

While it may seem nice

No, it really doesn’t, its a horribly bad design choice.

I wanted to give some balance to my argument. I guess I was over-cautious with that one.

And btw, that’s '../lemmy' in the comment above with two dots. I didn’t write it wrong. The third dot comes from markdown-it (confirmed using their live demo)!!

Good, because I speak Rust, so, if there is an itch to scratch, I will scratch it, even though I’m not a UI guy.

I tried running the UI yesterday standalone and had ‘error loading’ message or something like that.

btw, mentioning needing ‘…/lemmy’ available in path, and needing the wasm target installed (via rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown) may help non-rustaceans in particular, if added to the contributing instructions.

Also, the UI was listening on *:1237, not just localhost, so maybe a WARNING regarding that is advisable, together with explaining the purpose behind leptos also listening to port 3001.

Will there be a way to run the UI in client mode only, without being attached to a running instance?

The codec is basic, uses decades-old tech, and was trivially REed.

Lemmy instance choice does not check out ;)

and for testing you get a wackload of SBCs and Bluetooth chips and test that

I asked because I wasn’t aware of any consumer buds supporting Opus. I wasn’t aware of PineBuds, thank you for mentioning them.

keep in mind that it’s hard to get real numbers on LDAC because decoding is proprietary

I used to think the same. But as it turns out, a decoder exists. Maybe some people don’t want anyone to know about it to keep the myths alive ;)

EDIT: Also, as a golden rule, whenever anyone sees the words High-Res in an audio context, they should immediately realize that they are being bullshitted.
