I imagine adopting an already senior dog can be hard. It certainly would be for me. My condolences for your loss. I’m slowly coming to terms.

A sudden loss is really hard.

She’s been through multiple cancers over her years, 2 of them with us, and she always seems to make a comeback to where I keep on thinking she’s going to be here forever

Thank you. I’ve been on that roller coaster. That was by far the hardest, seeing her decline only to bounce back, then decline again. When she retired I would jokingly say “Remember, you can’t die on me, you’ll just have to live forever.” Toward the end I started telling her she could go if she wanted. I know she neither knew what I was saying nor did she have much control over when she passed (though I’m still mystified by how perky she acted for the hour or so before her death.)

It still kills me how brief a time we have with such loving creatures. I’ve tried to look at it from the dog’s point of view. We humans are effectively eternal and immutable constants of love and comfort, present from nearly the time they are born until they draw their last breath, and that makes me a bit happier.

A wiki is probably what you want. I was going to suggest tvtropes, which is great for, say, a list of every superhero with X-ray vision, or every work of fiction containing dwarves, but I’m not sure that fits what you want.

I just checked this out. It’s not quite what I’m looking for right now but it does answer my question as asked. I can see it coming in handy later.

I know this is obnoxiously pedantic but the link you provide says the 666 meats come from the same animal.

Where possible I use an Anglish (YouTube Link) translation convention for alien words since their languages are unutterable by humans (and vice versa). As for how they sound, imagine the quiet yipping and growling made by a dreaming dog. The word in the OP is Romanized (if you can call it that) as GJbfrMr, and is pronounced /long rising weak growl, short rising strengthening whine, chuff, long low strong grunt, chuff/. The root word is the verb GJ meaning to work or to make and the suffix -bfr, which forms nouns from verbs or adjectives with a meaning of a software program or digital service described by the root. -Mr is an 3rd person proximal noun suffix roughly meaning “this…” or “this is a…”

I post my worldbuilding stuff mostly on the CBB conlanging forum, and there’s a comprehensive grammar for Commonthroat–the most widely spoken alien language–on FrathWiki. Sometimes I put stuff on a worldbuilding community here on lemmy !worldbuilding@lemmy.world.

*edit: got my own grammar wrong.

Thanks! Here are a few more samples:

Part of the livery of a particular spacecraft, spelling out the craft’s name, Dewfall.

The word for ‘Mech hangar’ (Every sci-fi setting needs some big ol’ stompy walking war crimes).

Another attempt at a glowing CRT aesthetic. This is the name of the worldbuilding project as a whole “The Lonely Galaxy”.

And here’s what the writing system looks like when hand-written. The word is “egg eater”, which is a very vulgar insult among these oviparous aliens. The aesthetic of the script leans toward the Brahmic writing systems of South and Southeast Asia.

At the time of the OP I was testing federating two nodeBB instances. ActivityPub requires HTTPS AFAIK.

Upvote for the Dark Crystal reference.

I searched for “monkeys” and this is the first post across all the instances I have access to that’s just a nice picture of a monkey and not a rant about NFTs or similar.

I find it interesting that there’s a mix of commenters complaining that Reddit is at opposite ends of the political spectrum.

I assumed they were aware of each other and simply differed in moderation style or the type of user they wanted to attract.

I have, however, been toying with establishing a presence in the fediverse for conlangers/conworlders to congregate; likely not Lemmy, but NodeBB, as I like the more permanent nature of forums compared to more modern social media. As for non-federated conlanging communities, there’s the CBB where I hang out most, the unrelated ZBB, both running phpBB. But the granddaddy of conlangery on the internet is probably the conlang mailing list.

I can only vouch for the CBB, as I’ve merely lurked briefly on the ZBB and have never checked out the mailing list, though it’s on my todo list.

I was on Reddit from mid 2012 to mid 2023, across a few accounts and with a hiatus of a few months here and there. I had been passively looking at less centralized forms of personal interaction on the web, trying to find traditional forums to replace the subs I frequented. Like a lot of people here, the API issues and the news of Reddit courting investors left a bad taste in my mouth.

I deleted my account, but I still lurk on a few subs, and my IT job means I have to dig through reddit posts on a regular basis for troubleshooting purposes.

I’m attempting to run a NodeBB forum. I’m only assuming that web sockets was the issue because the first search result I came up with that matched my symptoms mentioned it.

Cool. Follow up question: Do I generate the cert once and distribute the same private key to all the servers I’m running? I’m guessing not, but does that mean I run the certbot command on every server?

Granted. Your powers are revealed to the public in short order, and now everyone blames you when anything goes wrong because you could have theoretically stopped it.

I looked up Cloudflare tunnels and tried setting one up. Some things future readers may want to know:

1. You have to set Cloudflare as your domain’s authoritative nameservers.
2. You need to set up an account (not a problem) but also have to register a payment method, even for the free tier (no me gusta).
3. Regarding NodeBB specifically, if you set up a tunnel, you can access the forum, even over HTTPS, but it fails when you try to log in. A few minutes of searching leads me to believe it has something to do with web sockets, and the solution requires you to partially expose your IP address, defeating the principle purpose for me to use cloudflare in the first place.

fixed the link

Also, remote printing and monitoring are nice features, which would be a pity to lose.

I don’t see an easy way to accomplish this independent of Bambu’s servers, especially if you use the handy app on your phone.
