There is no good way really.
Lemmy's search is pretty lackluster. You will have a hard time finding what you are looking for, unless you are searching for something verbatim, and if your query contains common words...Good luck. It also has no search operators.

When it comes to search engines, only google is somewhat usable (from my experience), but it's very much hit or miss. Sometimes you will be able to find the post, just by typing lemmy [post title or part of it], but it will almost never be in the top results.
And most of the time , first result is Reddit...


You can try using https://fedi-search.com

It basically just uses this query for "more accurate search" [search query] (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join-lemmy")

And this one for normal search [search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:lemm.ee OR site:hexbear.net OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.de OR site:kbin.social OR site:mastodon.social OR site:mastodon.cloud OR site:mstdn.social OR site:mastodon.online OR site:mastodon.world OR site:libre.video OR site:video.antopie.org)

Which is not just for lemmy, as you can see

 

Here is the search query I made for the top 35 lemmy instances (by active users) based on this: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

[your search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemm.ee OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:hexbear.net OR site:lemmy.ca OR  site:programming.dev OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.org OR site:lemmy.blahaj.zone OR site:discuss.tchncs.de OR site:lemmygrad.ml OR site:sopuli.xyz OR site:lemmy.sdf.org OR site:lemmy.zip OR site:beehaw.org OR site:infosec.pub OR site:aussie.zone OR site:feddit.nl OR site:midwest.social OR site:feddit.uk OR site:slrpnk.net OR site:reddthat.com OR site:lemmy.one OR site:jlai.lu OR site:pawb.social OR site:lemmy.kya.moe OR site:lemmy.today OR site:startrek.website OR site:feddit.it OR site:mander.xyz OR site:ttrpg.network OR site:lemmings.world OR site:ani.social OR site:feddit.org)

In SearXNG u can use !lepo to search lemmy posts but it's basically just lemmy's search.

I haven't been personally. I just learned about it and wanted to share, because it's cool looking. Maybe someone who visited can share their experience.
I looked at some vlogs on yt, and it seems noisy but nothing crazy.
Example: Some random vloggers on the ferris wheel (time stamped), gets louder when they get off the ride.

Honestly, you can just use the habit tracking app.

Loop Habits Tracker is a good one.
You just create a measurable habit and use 1-10 scale for your mood tracking.

  • It does have the option for notes but no tags unfortunately.
  • You can add entries retrospectively.
  • It has nice data visualization and you can export data.
  • Since it's a habit tracker it's pretty private. You can name your mood tracker (habit) however you want, nobody can even tell it's a mood tracker.

I really hope there aren't people stupid enough to buy or even want that.

Keepass XC on PC, Keepass DX on Android, Syncthing to sync database

Works flawlessly!

What does reliable mean? You want the crowd's rating of the movie to align with yours, which is pretty much impossible. I find Letterboxd ratings to be more sensible than IMDB's, so that is what I use. But I also read a few positive and a few negative reviews to get a better idea.

There is a site called Flickmetrix which has advanced filters and also an average ratings (critics, metacritic, IMDB, Letterboxd). Maybe that would be helpful to you...

Mixplorer also adds the option in the share menu to save the file.

From my experience, in chrome browsers, tap and hold context menu will differ in some cases (I'm not exactly sure depending on what), but sometimes you will have the option copy link address which will copy just the image link, and in other cases you will only have share image option which I personally never use.
It seems like share image option copies the image into the clipboard and if you choose to include the link, it will also paste the link bellow (link to the page where you copied the image from, and not the direct link to the image, it seems like). And that will work (including the link) only if you share the image to a specific app. If you choose copy image option from the share menu, it will only copy the image to clipboard without the link, even if you choose to include the link as well.
So in such cases you would have to long tap on the image, open image in new tab and then copy the link from the url bar, which is how I always done it, but it is pretty stupid that you can't copy only the link from that share menu.
Maybe there is some other way that I don't know of ¯\(ツ)

In firefox browser you will always have the option to copy image location, which will copy just the image link, I'm not sure about other browsers.

So what would be a good solution to this? What is something simple that bots are bad at but humans are good at it?

[–] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I was just messing with the settings and this is what worked for me...

In Heliboard settings:

  • Set the language to your native language.
    You may have to download and add the dictionary for your native language. For my native language it was missing, so it asked me to add it.
  • Turn on the multilingual typing option for English.

In system settings:

Go to Spell Checker settings (you can search that term in system settings, for me it was in Languages & Input > Tools category > Spell Checker)

  • You want to enable the spell checker if it isn't already.
  • Set languages to your native language.
  • Set the default spell checker to Heliboard.

Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.

Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?

Typing test: https://monkeytype.com
I used Unexpected Keyboard

Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)

I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are.

Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?

 

It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?

An impressive feature is their bright red colored eyes with vertical slits. They do not have a true eyelid, but rather a nictitating membrane that allows light to enter the eye so that they will awaken when predators are approaching.
