I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time

Likewise.

It's also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like... A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

One helpful thing I found is that it can skip "non music sections", ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that'd existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn't have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

Did you post this twice?

Just out of spite, I reckon I'm gonna start archiving your page :D

Someone hacked Henderson’s MySpace page and gave him the face of a zombie. Someone placed an iPod on Henderson’s grave, took a picture and posted it to /b/. Henderson’s face was appended to dancing iPods, spinning iPods, hardcore porn scenes. A dramatic re-enactment of Henderson’s demise appeared on YouTube, complete with shattered iPod. The phone began ringing at Mitchell’s parents’ home. “It sounded like kids,” remembers Mitchell’s father, Mark Henderson, a 44-year-old I.T. executive. “They’d say, ‘Hi, this is Mitchell, I’m at the cemetery.’ ‘Hi, I’ve got Mitchell’s iPod.’ ‘Hi, I’m Mitchell’s ghost, the front door is locked. Can you come down and let me in?’ ” He sighed. “It really got to my wife.” The calls continued for a year and a half.

Fuckin yikes. All that because of a typo.

I wonder if that means we can claim adverse possession

I mostly get my games through steam, which allows you to set multiple library locations, and then asks which drive you want them installed on. Besides that, every game or program installer I've ever used has asked me which drive I want it installed onto, although sometimes you need to check the custom install box first

 

While clicking through some random Lemmy instances, I found one that's due to be shut down in about a week — https://dmv.social. I'm trying to archive what I can onto the Wayback Machine, but I'm not sure what the most efficient way to go about it is.

At the moment, what I've been doing is going through each community and archiving each sort type (except the ones under a month, since the instance was locked a month ago) with capture outlinks enabled. But is there a more efficient way to do it? I know of the Internet Archives save from spreadsheet tool, which would probably work well, but I don't know how I'd go about crawling all the links into a sitemap or csv or something similar. I don't have the know-how to setup a web crawler/spider.

Any suggestions?
