What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Think of it as an opensource alternative to reddit!

Welcome to lemmy.net.au: Understanding Lemmy and How to Use It

Hello and welcome to our Lemmy instance! If you're new here, you might be wondering what exactly Lemmy is and how it differs from other social platforms. This guide will help you understand Lemmy's unique structure and how to make the most of your experience here.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a forum-style social media platform (sometimes called a 'link aggregator') similar to Reddit or Hacker News. Here, you can:

  • Share and discuss links, text posts, and images
  • Upvote and downvote content to determine what rises to the top
  • Join communities centered around specific topics or themes
  • Connect with users across the entire "fediverse"

What Makes Lemmy Different: The Federated Approach

The key difference between Lemmy and traditional social platforms is that Lemmy is federated. Here's what that means:

Instead of one central website controlled by a single company, Lemmy consists of multiple independent websites (called "instances") that are all connected to each other. Each instance is run by different organizations or individuals.

Think of it this way: If Reddit is like a single massive shopping centre with one owner setting all the rules, Lemmy is like George Street in Sydney, which has multiple shopping centres, each with their own management but where shoppers can freely move between them.

The Power of Federation

When you join lemmy.net.au, you're not just joining this instance - you're joining the entire Lemmy network. You can:

  • Interact with users from other instances
  • See and participate in communities hosted on other instances
  • Keep all your connections even if you decide to move to a different instance

This means if you don't like how one instance is being managed, you can move to another without losing access to your favorite communities or connections.

How Lemmy Works in Practice

Communities and Usernames

In Lemmy, both communities and usernames include the instance name:

  • Communities are shown as c/CommunityName@instance.org
  • Usernames appear as @username@instance.org

For example, a community on our instance might be c/Australia@lemmy.net.au, while a user might be @JaneDoe@lemmy.net.au.

Accessing Content Across Instances

With your lemmy.net.au account, you can:

  1. Subscribe to communities from any federated instance
  2. Comment on posts from any federated instance
  3. Message users from any federated instance

When you find a community hosted elsewhere (like c/Programming@programming.dev), you can interact with it just as if it were hosted here.

Finding Communities

To discover communities:

  1. Browse popular communities on lemmy.net.au
  2. Use the search function to find specific topics
  3. Try the Lemmyverse.net search engine for more comprehensive results

Reddit to Lemmy: Translation Guide

If you're coming from Reddit, here's a quick reference to help you understand the terminology:

Reddit Term Lemmy Equivalent
Subreddit Community
r/example c/example@instance
u/username @username@instance
Karma Score
Moderator Moderator (same!)
Award Not available (no awards system)
Crosspost No direct equivalent, but you can share links to posts
Sorting by "Hot" Sorting by "Hot" (same!)
Sorting by "New" Sorting by "New" (same!)
Reddit Premium No equivalent (no premium tier)

Finding Communities

There are several ways to discover communities on Lemmy:

  1. Browse popular communities on lemmy.net.au
  2. Use the search function to find specific topics
  3. Visit lemmyverse.net - This is an excellent search engine specifically designed for Lemmy that allows you to search across all federated instances

Lemmyverse.net is particularly useful because:

  • It indexes communities across the entire Lemmy network
  • You can search by keywords, topics, or community names
  • It shows activity levels and subscriber counts
  • It allows you to discover niche communities you might not find otherwise

When you find a community you like on lemmyverse.net, simply copy its full name (including the instance) and search for it on lemmy.net.au to subscribe and participate. You might need to wait a few seconds after you search for the community to show up as the lemmy.net.au instance needs to connect to that instance and pull the information back.

Managing Your Experience

Blocking Content

If you encounter content you don't want to see:

  • You can block individual users
  • You can block entire communities
  • You can even block entire instances

If you believe a community or instance violates our community standards, please use the reporting function to alert the admin team!

Same Name, Different Communities

Sometimes you'll find communities with the same name on different instances (like c/News@lemmy.net.au and c/News@another-instance.org). These are separate communities with different moderators and potentially different rules.

This flexibility allows for diverse moderation styles and community cultures to coexist.

Getting Started

  1. Complete your profile - Add a bio and profile picture
  2. Find communities - Search for topics that interest you
  3. Subscribe - Join communities to see their content in your feed
  4. Participate - Comment, post, and vote to become part of the conversation

Need Help?

If you have questions or need assistance, feel free to comment on this post or message the admins.

The code also suggested that Suno was using proxies to scrape songs from YouTube through a company called Bright Data, which sells scraping tools, infrastructure, and data services. Additional code shows that with the help of an online tool called PodcastIndex, Suno identified 420,000 different podcasts that had at least five, 30-minute episodes and sought to download roughly 1 million hours of podcasts

The hacker, ellie.191, told 404 Media they breached the company by hacking an individual employee using the Shai-Hulud worm, a supply chain attack that allowed hackers to harvest GitHub and cloud service credentials. They said they also accessed Suno’s customer list, which included customers’ emails and/or phone numbers and Stripe payment details, depending on what they used to login. The hacker provided a sample of some of the customers, some of whom confirmed to 404 Media they had used their phone number to sign up for Suno and said they were never notified of a breach.

Last month, The Atlantic reported on several music databases that are widely used in AI training, consisting of millions of tracks: “Three of the datasets I found are distributed as a list of links to songs on YouTube or Spotify. AI developers download the actual audio using tools that automate the job, some of which allow developers to bypass logins, advertisements, and mechanisms that might earn money or subscribers for creators. Such tools violate the terms of service of these platforms.

The alleged sabotage included desecrating memorials to Polish victims of the UPA, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army that took part in the murder of tens of thousands of Poles during World War Two known as the Volyhnia massacre.

"The aim was to incite ethnic tensions between Poland and Ukraine," Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) said in a statement.

The Steam Machine is slightly bigger than a portable Blu-ray / DVD player. (I just checked this with my own players)

I can't wait for someone to make the equivalent of the Gamecube's GBA Player for discs. Because of its size, It could even be a plastic shell where you put an existing Hitachi/LG portable drive without having to disassemble anything

We all talk about the big bang as this moment the Universe begins by popping into existence with simple hydrogen and some helium. Hydrogen and Helium are gases that are able to carry sound. Today, space has expanded so much that there is vacume beyond where matter clumps together to form stars/planets, which means the sound couldn't propagate, but the early early Universe wouldn't have clumped like today; there would have been hydrogen everywhere. This means it would have been loud everywhere.

*Edit: I know we call it the Big Bang because of the rapid expansion of spacetime, but I always just pictured the general motion of expansion as the "bang". Never thought of how loud it would have been.

Climate change has lengthened Australia’s fire season and has already seen an increase in the number of days where the risk of fire is high. It’s a familiar narrative around the world.

EDIT: Australia’s expertise and experience in bushfires has meant its fire services have in recent years regularly shared personnel and equipment with the United States and Canada, and vice versa.

One of Australia’s large air tankers has been on the US west coast helping fight fires in recent weeks, and will be followed by almost 70 personnel next week.

“Around the world we are seeing conditions we haven’t seen before,” says Shepherd. “The more we all learn from each other, the better it is for us all around the globe.”

I know a few: Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Renée Zellwege. There are more actors & actresses who were extras prior to reaching stardom or becoming famous. Not all are obvious unless you knew what they looked like when they're younger or looked via IMDb. I've spotted Bruce Willis as an extra in two movies: The First Deadly Sin starring Frank Sinatra in an uncredited role as "man entering diner" & The Verdict as an courtroom observer (uncredited) starring Paul Newman) before he became famous in Die Hard.

[Q&A with Alicia García-Herrero is Chief Economist for Asia Pacific at Natixis and a Senior Fellow at Bruegel.]

The relationship [between China and Russia] is undeniably asymmetric ...

Russia has imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Interestingly, those tariffs have at times been higher than the EU’s, although that often goes unnoticed. They’ve also been repeatedly adjusted, reflecting the constant push and pull between Moscow’s domestic pressures and Beijing’s demands. Every time China pressures the Kremlin to ease those restrictions, it only fuels resentment among parts of the Russian establishment ...

Technology transfer between Russia and China remains highly selective. What China has largely provided are dual-use goods—not the know-how or industrial capacity to manufacture them independently. That includes microelectronics, CNC machines and components for drones. These supplies help Russia sustain production in the short term, but they do not make the country technologically self-sufficient. If those supply chains were disrupted, Russia would still struggle to replace them domestically ...

At the same time, China continues to seek access to Russian military technology, while Putin is increasingly wary of handing over capabilities without receiving meaningful strategic concessions in return. That’s what makes this relationship more complicated than China’s ties with countries such as Iran. In Iran’s case, the flow of technology and dependence is largely one-directional. With Russia, both sides are trying to extract technological advantages from the other while simultaneously preventing the other from gaining too much ...

That’s why I think the relationship is far less stable than it appears. On paper—as we heard, unfortunately, right before the invasion of Ukraine—it was presented as a ‘no-limits’ partnership. In reality, however, it is not a relationship built on trust ...

...

Lifting sanctions [by Europe on Russia] remains very difficult unless there is a significant move from Russia itself to end the war on terms that are acceptable, in my view, to both Europe and Ukraine. And that is an important point.

...

I can tell you quite openly that China desperately needs exports right now. And that is why the tone towards Europe is changing and becoming somewhat more positive. China used to say: “There is nothing to negotiate here. Take it or leave it — you need us.” Now the message is a bit more nuanced: “Yes, you need us, but we also need you, so maybe we can move beyond this trade dispute.”

...

China understands that the situation in Europe is becoming increasingly difficult. Look at the tens of thousands of potential job losses at Volkswagen, for example. The reality is that China is no longer in such a strong position to use its leverage over Russia — unless Russia is willing to give away a great deal. And even then, because the Chinese economy is struggling outside of exports, using that leverage would come at a significant cost for Beijing.

Few weeks ago I wrote about a side project that I'm using to learn, this is my reviewing what I missed on the project, the main issues after a few dozen games in the platform with friends. And what I learned in the process.

All comments, feedback is appreciated.

Hey self-hosted folks, this is my review after playtesting my little card game table, I did wrote a few weeks about it, if you want to grab and put on your server.

This is more connected to the learnings, what went wrong and the ugly parts of it.

Create professional invoices for free with InvoiceTemple's intuitive platform, featuring advanced cloud-sync technology for enhanced reliability.

Introduction

Imagine being able to access and manage your bills easily across various devices, all while maintaining utmost security and real-time changes. Cloud sync technology makes this possible for organizations of all sizes. In this feature analysis, we'll go into cloud sync and see how Invoice Temple's solution transforms invoice administration. Join us as we explore the power of cloud syncing and its impact on businesses globally.

A Complete Guide on Cloud Sync

What is Cloud Sync?

Cloud sync, also known as cloud synchronization, is the act of ensuring that data stored in the cloud remains up to date across numerous devices. It enables users to access and edit files and documents from any internet-connected device, promoting seamless collaboration and ensuring that the most recent version of the material is always available.

The Benefits of Cloud Sync

Increased Accessibility and Flexibility

Cloud sync enables users to access their invoices and other important documents from any device with an internet connection. This level of accessibility and flexibility empowers businesses to work on the go, allowing employees to access and update invoices at any time and from any location.

Enhanced Data Security

With cloud sync, your invoices are securely stored in the cloud, safeguarded from local hardware failures, theft, or disasters. Your data is protected in cutting-edge data centers, providing an additional layer of security for critical information.

Real-Time Collaboration

Cloud sync enables multiple users to work on the same invoice simultaneously, promoting real-time collaboration. This feature facilitates easy editing, discussion, and tracking of changes, streamlining the invoice management process.

Automated Backups and Updates

Cloud sync automatically backs up your invoice data and performs regular updates. This reduces the risk of data loss and ensures you always have access to the latest versions of your invoices, eliminating the need for manual backups or updates.

Exploring Invoice Temple's Cloud Sync Feature

Now that we understand cloud sync, let's explore how this feature enhances invoice management, especially when integrated with free billing software and other tools.

Seamless Integration Across Devices

The cloud sync feature in Invoice Temple works flawlessly with various devices, including desktop PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This means that you can easily access your invoices and edit them regardless of the device you are using, providing a consistent experience across all platforms.

Synchronization in Real-Time

When many team members work on the same invoices, real-time synchronization is critical. Cloud sync ensures that changes made by one user are instantly reflected across all other devices, enabling smooth collaboration and reducing conflicts or duplicated work.

Secure Cloud Storage

Data security is a top priority, especially for sensitive information like invoices. Cloud sync employs strong encryption and stores your data in secure, redundant data centers, ensuring the safety of your invoices and preventing unauthorized access.

Simultaneous Collaboration

With cloud sync, multiple team members can work on the same invoice at once. This fosters efficient collaboration, allowing users to edit, comment, and suggest changes in real-time. It eliminates the need for manual merging of changes and ensures everyone is working on the latest invoice version.

Automatic Backup and Version Control

Invoice Temple's cloud sync feature takes care of your invoice data by automatically backing it up to secure cloud storage. This not only ensures that your data is protected from loss or hardware failures but also provides a detailed version history. This protects your data from loss or hardware failures and provides a detailed version history, allowing you to revert to a previous version of an invoice if needed.

Why Cloud Sync Matters for Businesses

Now let's dive into why cloud sync is particularly essential for businesses and how it can positively impact your day-to-day operations.

Streamlined Workflow

Cloud synchronization streamlines your invoice management process by eliminating the need to manually transfer or update invoices across multiple devices. This feature reduces errors and saves time, allowing for a smoother workflow within your accounting software or other management tools.

Improved Team Productivity

The real-time collaboration and synchronization capabilities offered by Cloud Sync significantly enhance team productivity. With this feature, team members can simultaneously work on invoices, brainstorm ideas, and share feedback. This promotes faster turnaround times, minimizes communication barriers, and ultimately boosts overall productivity.

Remote Work Enablement

In today's increasingly remote work-oriented world, the ability to access and manage invoices from anywhere becomes paramount. Cloud sync makes remote work possible by letting employees access, update, and collaborate on invoices regardless of their physical location. Whether your staff is scattered across many locations or continents, our cloud sync feature keeps them all connected and productive.

Best Practices for Utilizing Cloud Sync

To get the most out of cloud sync and ensure a smooth invoice management process, follow these best practices. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Prioritize Data Security

While cloud sync offers many advantages, it’s essential to prioritize data security. Choose a cloud storage service that uses strong encryption and adheres to industry best practices for data protection. Educate your team on data security measures to prevent unauthorized access and breaches.

Regularly Backup Data

Although cloud sync backs up your data automatically, it's a good practice to perform regular backups independently. This extra step ensures an additional layer of protection and allows you to have control over your data. Consider implementing scheduled backups or utilizing backup services to safeguard your invoices against unforeseen events.

Train Employees on Cloud Sync Usage

To make the most of cloud sync, provide comprehensive training to your employees on its usage and benefits. Familiarize them with the features of cloud sync, such as real-time collaboration and synchronization. By ensuring that your team understands the power of cloud sync, you can maximize efficiency and streamline your invoice management processes.

End Line

In conclusion, cloud sync revolutionizes invoice management, providing businesses with unprecedented accessibility, flexibility, and collaboration opportunities. Invoice Temple's cloud sync feature takes these advantages to the next level, enabling seamless integration across devices, real-time synchronization, secure cloud storage, simultaneous collaboration, and automatic backups. Harness the power of cloud sync within your accounting software to unlock the full potential of your invoice management process today.

From author's telegram

The world’s eyes are on Lionel Messi, as Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup Final. The diminutive superstar has gained a massive following across the planet, not least in Israel, thanks to his numerous business and security connections with the Apartheid State. From being the face of an Israeli A.I. company led and run by Israeli spies, entrusting his private security to a team of Israel secret agents, I explore the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu considers him to be his favorite football player.
