Animal Crossing fishing puns are just the worst

Just a lvl 28 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer and Scrum Master by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.
During the summer, I love trekking, camping, and going on long hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.
A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What actually happens in a DDOS attack?
30·14 days agoSlowing down enough is the same thing than being unavailable. Imagine someone is sending you 1000 text messages per minute from different numbers all over the world. Your phone handles it fine but you have to manually read every single message to check if it’s spam or something important. By the time you reach that one real message where your crush asked if you wanna hang out, it’s way too late and they already asked someone else.

Opensource@programming.dev•Is there any software that can use it that benefits average user or is it just a waste of silicon???

Programming@programming.dev•How to become a team/department lead?
7·20 days agoI can only speak from my own experience and what I’ve seen, but generally the best leaders are the ones who emerge naturally from within the team. You shouldn’t need to “prove yourself” to your superiors but to your coworkers instead.
Most teams don't want or need a boss, they need a leader

I don’t know what your “vision” looks like, but start small. Feel like some manual task could be automated? Write a script and share it with the team. Think something should be done differently? Bring it up and see what others in the team think. The point is, you don’t need actual “power” within the company to start implementing your vision. Unless of course the company culture is just horrible, in which case you’d probably be better off looking for other opportunities regardless…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I made a self-hostable frontend for instagram.English
2·27 days agoObviously I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see what law they could use to shut it down. All it’s doing is accessing publicly available data via a proxy. It’s not like it’s exploiting Instagram somehow.
If they wanna stop it, they can do what Twitter did and start requiring an account to see almost anything. Personally I suspect Meta is slowly going towards that.

3·27 days agoMany suiters love to get proper photos taken of their suit and there never seems to enough slots available. If you have the knowhow and camera gear, it’s fairly easy to make money by providing custom photoshoots during cons.
JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.detoFurry@pawb.social•EU furs, furcon on the railways with lotsa furmeets along the way? #interrailEnglish
4·28 days agoSuch a cool idea omg. I wish there were a way to make it happen. I’ve always played with the idea of going interrailing but I’m not that into sightseeing or other “touristy” activities so I worry I’d find it boring soon after start. Meeting local furs at every major stop would be such a fun way to do it. I think there should be some overnight stops along the route though, more than two consecutive night trains sounds way too punishing for me lol.
Also, to my knowledge night trains often require seat reservations even for interrail pass holders. I dunno how expensive those are these days

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite healthy snacks?
9·1 month agoDried apricots are my favorite and are rich in fiber and vitamins. Other dried fruits are good too, but personally I like apricots the most.

Good News Everyone@piefed.social•Teenager wins 10K Stoke Stampede at 'breathtaking speed'
4·1 month agoA teenager has beaten a traditional race’s record after running at what organisers described as “breathtaking speed”.
The 10K Stoke Stampede, which has been a key event in the calendar at Stoke St Gregory near Taunton in Somerset since 1977, was won by Tom, 17, who ran the distance at 30.37 on Sunday, beating the previous record of 31.45 in 2007.
The race originally started as a fun run pram race between two pubs and, although it has evolved over the years, it continues to raise money for the village playing field.
About 450 runners from across the South West registered to take part in the 2026 Stoke Stampede, selling it out within 14 hours.
Sara Sollis has been helping out with the run for more than 20 years and said it is “really popular” with participants because of the course itself.
“It’s very undulating, it’s a bit of a challenge, sometimes there’s some really big puddles,” she said.
“They [runners] tell us they like it because the village come out and support it and there’s spectators clapping them all the way around the village, even if they’re hanging out their windows.”
The run raises money for the local playing field, which was bought by some soldiers for the village with their demobilisation pay when they returned from the Second World War.
The field was originally set up for football and cricket, but now has facilities to play tennis and also has a pavilion.
“It’s their main fundraising and it costs a lot of money to run a playing field, you wouldn’t believe it,” Sollis said.
As for the 2026 winner, Sollis said Tom was the “quickest I’ve ever seen” in the decades she has assisted in the race.
“Generally, the younger age don’t run it, some of them are in their 70s,” Sollis said of the participants.
“And sometimes its the vets that win the overall race as well, which I love, there’s always life in the old dogs.”

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•PieFed 1.5 is released - move posts, upload video files, better chat and more
5·1 month agoThanks for clarification, makes more sense now. Will everyone still see each other’s comments when a post is moved but for Lemmy users it’s still in the old community?

Sounds awesome! One question, until Lemmy properly supports this, how will it look on the Lemmy side when a post is moved? Will it still be visible in the original community, in both the old and new communities, or will the post just disappear?
It’s fun only until you hit something sharp:

Please, don’t leave these lying around everywhere!

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there a browser compatibility checker for websites?
10·1 month agoMost browser compatibility issues come from JavaScript, not HTML/CSS. Unless you want to support ancient/dead browsers (like Internet Explorer or non-HTML5 browsers), it’s very likely there won’t be any issues.
MDN has a compatibility table for every HTML tag and CSS property. For a simple static site I would just manually check there.
Some Lemmy instances, including lemmy.world, are misconfigured for video/audio streaming. If the video is hosted on one of those instances, that could be the reason.








For fiction I prefer English as l think a lot gets lost in translation. But for nonfiction I might go for the translated version if I’m not very familiar with the subject and might not know all the English vocabulary around it.
