Lemmy Today

After hiking the entire desert section of the Pacific Crest Trail, I’m breaking down what actually works for sun protection when you’re ultralight backpacking.

This video covers the gear, techniques, and mindset that kept me protected without adding unnecessary weight. Whether you’re crossing the Mojave or planning a summer hike, these are trail-tested solutions that balance weight, comfort, and effectiveness.

On June 27:th, the https certificate for lemmy.today was supposed to renew itself. Its set up to automatically renew every 3 months, and its been working perfectly since the site was started over 2 years ago.

But this time it failed to do so, due to a syntax error in the web server config that was not noticed until this incident took place.

Its been fixed now but took more than a day unfortunantly. Sincere apologies for the long delay - it was because I was on vacation in Madeira and in the process of travelling home that day.

Life finds a way to kick us in the balls sometimes.

Hello!

Thanks for lemmy.today. 🙇 It's great!

Mainly I was just wondering: is it normal for one's lemmy account to slow down as the number of subs goes up? Currently, I'm subbed to almost 200 communities. When I load my home page at lemmy.today, the page always loads in almost 10 seconds.

My home page is set to Subscribed and Hot.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to decrease the homepage load time?

In this video, we will revisit an easy poncho shelter setup in the rain. We will go step by step with this shelter while we are still wearing our poncho. Please join me to see if we can stay dry while we pitch this poncho tarp shelter in a plow point setup.
