1·2 days agoDowd was brought in during the 2018 offseason to replace Jay Beagle
Oh, wow—my memory’s a little fuzzy. Thanks for this little nugget of history!
One of the few still with us from the 2018 cup run, and I’m thankful for that!

Video. We need video!
Result: Caps lose, 8-4.
Next up: Off to Columbus Monday night (that’s tonight) for Round 2.
Okay, I was questioning my own sanity for a minute there!
I think the original commenter is saying they do not plan to replace it with something running W11.
Result: Caps win, 5-3.
Next up: Back home against the Blue Jackets tomorrow night (Friday) at Cap One.
Result: Caps lose, 4-2.
Next up: Off to Jersey tonight (Wednesday) against the Devs.
Keep in mind that instances (not just communities, but instances) come and go. Worst case, if an instance dies, yes, a community can move to a new instance, but you might want to consider several factors when choosing an instance to start a new community.
- How long has the instance been around?
- How is the instance hosted, governed, funded? Donations, non-profit, some rando’s spare laptop, etc.
- Which other instances are they federated with, and which instances are they not federated with?
- Are the instance admins active?
- How often do the admins update the instance to the latest version of Lemmy software?
- Other personal preferences, e.g., does the instance have alternate front ends, etc.
If you decide to just take over one of the existing communities whose current admins are no longer active, you can request for the LW admins to appoint you as moderator of said communities. Do try reaching out to the existing admins first. But yeah, if nothing else, you could then facilitate a transition to the new instance, e.g., poll the active users to see if they want to move, and if so, then lock the community and post a link so new users can find the other instance.
I read recently that he’s AHL-ineligible right now and has to go back to juniors if he doesn’t make the team.
That’s some good intel, I was unaware - thank you for that!
1·11 days agoThanks for chiming in. I appreciated that Dr. Avula articulated his desire to rebuild trust in the city government and potentially seek out additional funding opportunities for local needs. His experience at state level agencies also gives me hope that he’ll be able to navigate the political waters and get things done.
4·13 days agoDamn, those are some cute kittens. Btw is that a Caps blanket?
9·13 days agoSupes excited for these two:
- @carlos-cabello added a way to filter posts by title only (and not body) when searching.
- @dessalines integrated a new rust clearurls library into lemmy that will remove tracking params for any post or comment text…
3·14 days agoGotcha. So is Wire like, the privacy seeker’s dream messaging app? No phone number, always-on encryption, zero-knowledge servers, open source… any caveats?
Interesting. Since the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France last month, I’ve read countless threads on c/privacy about which messaging app is best for privacy, and the two names that seem to come up the most are Signal and any Matrix client (e.g. Element); however, some commenters point out Signal’s phone number requirement and I forget what the other caveats are.
I don’t recall reading about Wire in any of those threads, but at a glance it seems to check all the boxes (open source, always-on encryption, etc).
Am I missing something? Any ideas why this app wouldn’t come up in such discussions?
EDIT: Hmm, I just went back and re-read a thread from last week, and Wire is actually mentioned. Maybe I’ve just always mentally skipped over it until now.
Result: Caps win, 3-2.
Next up: Off to Boston Friday night for the sixth and final pre-season game.
