I liked the first one, it's a good horror-comedy not straight horror

Yeah it depends on the app, they don't all do it. Boost shows cross posts, but doesn't merge them.

What app are you using? The regular Lemmy-UI already does this. In fact I have a feature request asking to be able to disable it...

yea but it definitely pushed a lot of people away, if we had Lemmy v0.19.8 back then we would've retained way more users

just not the luckiest timing maybe, could've been a lot worse though (like before Lemmy even supported federation)

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

the default appears to be StoreLinkPreviews in v0.19.8

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/0.19.8/crates/utils/src/settings/structs.rs#L85-L88

but in the main branch it's ProxyAllImages, so I guess that'll be for a future release

this might help https://monero.town/post/2020876

I guess you could call GET /internal/hashes?{query} to see all the images

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think there's a guide for that somewhere? Maybe I can try looking for it tomorrow if no one else finds it first. I think the admin control panel that shows uploaded images might also show the federated ones?

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Another mention of possibly moving to Lemmy

https://forum.watmm.com/topic/105431-rip-to-watmm-discussion-thread/page/17/#findComment-3002140

Obviously I'm cheering for Lemmy, but if they want a more similar forum then hopefully they use something that federates with Lemmy, such as NodeBB. (Anyone have an account to leave a comment?)

Maybe there should also be one for Bluesky->Mastodon lol

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh now they remembered that guns don't pose any threat to the Z Fighters lol

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Keep that up for a few more months

I'm not confident that the internet's attention span is that long, unfortunately

Cylobian Sunday! This playlist is Previously Unavailable On Compact Disc (1998), but this track is from Kinesthesia Volume 1 (1993)

https://www.discogs.com/release/990-Kinesthesia-Kinesthesia-Volume-1

I used the original longer version "Triachus (Aphex Twin Mix)" instead of the version from 26 Mixes For Cash, unfortunately the audio quality is a little lower here.

Normally "Previously Unavailable On Compact Disc" ends with "Durftal" as track 13, but I added more tracks from the source releases that weren't part of the CD release for the sake of completeness. These tracks are pretty rough though lol. I used Discogs for the info:

Compilation of tracks previously released on following only-vinyl records:

Tracks: 1/9/10/11 taken from Kinesthesia Empathy Box (Remixes)[CAT 022].

Tracks: 2/7/8 taken from Kinesthesia Volume 2 [CAT 014].

Tracks: 3/5/6 taken from Kinesthesia Volume 1 [CAT 011].

Tracks: 4/13 taken from Cylob Industrial Folk Songs [CAT 015].

Track: 12 taken from Mururoa Project [STOP 1 T].

All tracks written and produced between 1993 and 1995.

https://www.discogs.com/release/13964-Cylob-Previously-Unavailable-On-Compact-Disc

And since it includes tracks from Empathy Box (Remixes), it seems relevant to also mention the original Empathy Box release

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT-OycUpo74&list=PLZBQ5U70ekuHjclewtPaI7an1fsbyQ8DX&index=1

I actually haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but maybe I'll post one of these tracks for next week's Cylobian Sunday.

 

Happy 20th anniversary to Doom 3! Everyone remembers this game for the tech (programmable shaders, render-to-texture'd normal maps, realtime stencil shadows), but this was also a great horror game! And the story was written by Matthew Costello, who also wrote the stories for The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour!

(IMO the BFG edition makes the game worse by removing the tension of using the flashlight, the levels were designed for the original flashlight switching mechanic. Use a source port like dhewm3 for playing on modern computers.)


Wikipeda Synopsis

Doom 3 is a 2004 survival horror first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Activision. Doom 3 was originally released for Microsoft Windows on August 3, 2004, adapted for Linux later that year, and ported by Aspyr Media for Mac OS X in 2005. Developer Vicarious Visions ported the game to the Xbox, releasing it worldwide on April 4, 2005.

Doom 3 is set on Mars in 2145, where a military-industrial conglomerate has set up a scientific research facility into fields such as teleportation, biological research, and advanced weapons design. The teleportation experiments open a gateway to Hell, resulting in a catastrophic invasion of the Mars base by demons. The player controls a space marine who fights through the base to stop the demons attacking Mars and reaching Earth.

Doom 3 is the first reboot of the Doom series, ignoring the events of the previous games. Doom 3 utilizes the id Tech 4 game engine, which has since been licensed out to other developers, and later released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later in November 2011.

Doom 3 was a critical and commercial success; with more than 3.5 million copies of the game sold, it was the most successful game by developer id Software up to that date. Critics praised the game's graphics, presentation, and atmosphere, although reviewers were divided by how close the gameplay was to that of the original Doom, focusing primarily on simply fighting through large numbers of enemy characters. The game was followed by Resurrection of Evil, an expansion pack developed by Nerve Software, in April 2005. A series of novelizations of Doom 3, written by Matthew J. Costello, debuted in February 2008. An expanded and remastered edition titled Doom 3: BFG Edition was released in the fourth quarter of 2012. It has been ported to various platforms, including some which enable portable and virtual reality gameplay.

Excerpt from a well-known TV show hosted and created by Stewart Cheifet featuring George "The Fat Man" Sanger, the same year he was composing for Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo. It discusses one of his biggest contributions to game audio, "Fat Labs" certification, and Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon makes an appearance.

Correction: This year was Quake's twenty-EIGHTH birthday, not twenty-sixth. I'm getting old...

Quake speedruns are so amazing, I can't believe this game isn't in every single speedrun marathon ever.

I'm not sure why this album was on Analogical Force instead of Planet Mu but it's good

another Cylobian Sunday! I've also had the song "Cum To Me Baby" stuck in my head for a while lol, but I think the first track of the EP is the favorite by most people. If you like this style of Cylob also check out his release "Lobster Tracks" from the same year, I'll have to post one of those songs on some other Cylobian Sunday.

This song was also featured on 2003's Rephlexions compilation https://www.discogs.com/master/12211-Various-Rephlexions-An-Album-Of-Braindance
