  • Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Unsure if this is already your point or not, but, my question is: at what level of automation does it cease to be "selectively raiding the mainstream" and turn into "importing/copying the mainstream wholesale"?

  • I measured 107 Lemmy communities: if you post there, does anyone answer? Median 73.9% — and the data contradicted my own prediction

    Jump

  • Lemmy shows you a community's posts in order — a big room really is a room with more people in it.

    This is ... wrong and misleading? The default sorting order for posts is "Active". You can sort by "New" (as well as a whole bunch of other sorting methods) but it's never been the only option. Maybe OP is on an instance who has set their default sorting order to "New"?

    Furthermore, what is this "room" verbiage? Maybe it's just an attempt at descriptive metaphor. To me, it comes off as mixing up Matrix rooms and Lemmy communities.

    And then there's the line

    Which instance you're on matters about as much as which community

    Which (imo) misses how many instances, in practice, self-select who posts from them. I think there's a degree to which these numbers reflect how much each instance's userbase tends to get replies, but without more detail on what these uses are posting it's a correlation at best and noise at worst.

  • Federation is still a work in progress IIRC.

    But everyone can already selfhost their own instance if all they want is a web-facing git forge.

  • Haven't you heard? "React" content is the new meta (/s only half way).

  • Oh wow, I think this is the first time I've seen analognowhere referenced outside of the the fediverse community where pmjv posts their artwork.

    I'm halfway through the logs; I'm finding them much more compelling than the initial story - something to do with the tone(s).

    Thank you for writing/making this!

  • "sorry to disappoint you, Timmy, but the tooth fairy only comes once she knows the parents are aware their child is about to get some money/a visit"

    I'm very surprised there are parents telling their kids about the tooth fairy that can't recover the story when confronted by their kid with such evidence.

  • Arch Linux AUR Hit By Another Wave Of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack

    Jump

  • I am thankful I have been away from my arch machine this past week and so never got the chance to install infected updates from the AUR, because I for sure have gotten complacent with checking entire PACKAGEBUILDs. The checker scripts the community has put together found a single potential infected package on my machine - alvr-git - but I had last installed/updated that one on may 21 (so in theory it's clean).

    When the script is three pages long on a 4k screen, and I have ten other packages to review, I have found it's really hard to stay committed to checking it all with my own eyes. The threat of needing to nuke my entire machine and rotates all my creds will certainly help with that, sadly.

  • Self-hosting journey update, and WordPress: latest development from a super-newbie

    Jump

  • No idea how easy this will be to follow if you're forced to rely on text-to-speech and/or other assistive technologies, but here goes:

    • to tell nginx the product is physically on /wp/, you probably want a root /wp directive
    • to tell nginx the browser can point to domain.tld/post or domain.tld/english/post, you probably want two location blocks (one for each url) that each contain a rewrite directive that massages the url requested by the browser into pointing to the correct post or page location.
    • for this to be in a file on it's own, and assuming your nginx setup is pretty standard, you probably want to have the entire server block be in a file that lives in the sites-available directory and symbolically linked ("symlinked") into the sites-enabled directory.

    For the rewrites, here is the link to the relevant documentation page: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html . You will need to understand the basics of how to write a Regular Expression, or get someone to write it for you. If you can't find a human that's available and willing to help, maybe a back-and-forth with an L.L.M. can get you to what you need (I don't like suggesting L.L.M.s but being sighted myself I don't really know if they're better or worse than recommending you just work at learning how to do this on your own, given the current state of the web).

  • The textual expect/diff for UI screenshot testing is enough to make me want to try this out, let alone the promise of being able to use ocaml for everything.

  • PewDiePie releases Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor killer, Odysseous (FOSS)

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that you're talking about models being CUDA-specific or AMD-specific. I've had a bunch of models running on my amd-only pc, using ollama, lemonade, and lm-studio, through either rocm or vulkan. None of these models were billed as AMD-specific. I had to do some config tweaking for ollama to use my graphics card but that's more because I have a weird in-between-generations card that also predates the LLM hype (6700XT).

    However, I did generally need to look for the GGUF format versions of things - usually accounts like unsloth have them uploaded on huggingface barely a day or two after the original version gets posted.

  • FR#164 – The Pope on Defederation

    Jump

  • Solid conclusion! I had seen headlines but never actually read excerpts of the Pope's encyclical. Much to your article's point, I suspect, I never would have expected the head of the Catholic church to produce writing and arguments so relevant to the current state of the fedi.
