    Proposal to create a collective to own the topic-based Lemmy instances

    Jump

  • Objection! Hehe... No, wait. Really, I see a problem...

    If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don't think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)

    There's also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don't know you, and perhaps you're well intended.. So, it's fine for the most part, let's just assume that's okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There's centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.

    I can't see this happening even if the domain names are cool.

    And, leaving disadvantages aside. What's the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it's quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they're now...

    Thanks for the intentions. Let's focus on some new ideas, they'll come...

  • I believe they're providing cloud compute infrastructure to compile packages that they probably use in their steam decks... But that's half-guessing after having the same question popping up in my head..

  • I was thinking of either /etc/environment or /etc/profile which would be standard way to set up global variables. But the archwiki mentions using a script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ so make a file there, add the executable permition and write export DRI_PRIME=1

  • In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.

    There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless...

  • Check for any customizations in /etc/NetworkManager

    Alternatively, reinstall surfshark, enable killswitch, connect and disable killswitch before disconnection... When you disconnect it should be fine..

    The killswitch is most surely a combination of changes on networkmanager dispatcher script, iptables rules and dns setting (/etc/resolv.conf)

  • You just mentioned what really is available nowadays. If you could mention an example of a "web interest" that's not covered, perhaps someone could start it on the tildeverse...

  • Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.

    (I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)

    Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.

  • They still store the passwords like that? I remember that quote of Zuckerberg doing so, in the early days, and boasting about it to a friend... This was so outrageous at the time. Now it's beyond absurdity.. Not to mention the fine is so small!

  • It's difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or work. Maybe other graduates of similar careers (i.e. chemists going into big pharma) that doesn't go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there's no curve there.

    Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn't dare drawing conclusions without a proper comparison.

  • Create a user, and then a systemd unit for it, under ~/.config/systemd/user/ with contents like these:

     
        
[Unit]
Description=Caddy web server
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/caddy run --config /path/to/Caddyfile --envfile /path/to/Envfile
ExecReload=/usr/local/bin/caddy reload --config /path/to/Caddyfile --envfile /path/to/Envfile
Restart=on-failure
User=caddy
Group=caddy

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

    Adjust the paths in the arguments. It will require systemctl daemon-reload for such unit to be available for enabling and starting it...
