I'm looking for inspiration for a custom Bash prompt^[1]^. I'd love to see yours! 😊 If possible, include both the prompt's PS1, and a screenshot/example of what it looks like.

TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx" (sh.itjust.works)

nginx ("engine x") is an HTTP web server, reverse proxy, content cache, load balancer, TCP/UDP proxy server, and mail proxy server. […] [1]

I still pronounce it as "n-jinx" in my head.

In case you aren't sure what to look for: If you look at the left side of the tracks, you can see the imprint of the wing feathers on the snow. I'm guessing this is where the bird landed on top of the prey, which it saw on the surface of the snow.

[SOLVED] What is the maximum username length for a Lemmy account? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works to c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
51 comments fedilink

Solution

The Lemmy server appears to have a database limit of 255 characters ^[2]^; however, individual instances appear to put their own limits on username length though the frontend ^[3]^ and/or the API ^[4.1][4.2]^.

Original Post

If you know, please also provide relevant documentation.

UPDATE (2025-02-02T06:06Z): I did some brute-force testing, and, at least for sh.itjust.works, it seems that the maximum username length is 50, and the maximum password length is 60 ^[1]^.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]

I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.
