  • Drop OSS - an open-source, self-hosted alternative to platforms like Steam and Epic.

    Jump

  • So this would allow you to self-host a library of open-source games and have people connect to it with their Steam like clients to always have the latest version installed and so on?

    Getting relatively non-technical people to install the correct versions for multiplayer games is a real pain without something doing it for them like with Steam.

  • LLM-bot activity on question communities?

    Jump

  • Those have been active for a few months now and usually get banned from most (non-ask) communities quite quickly.

    What concerns me more is despite how obvious it is that they are bots, the posts often seem to get a lot of engagement from other accounts that are both human and some less obvious bots (or maybe lurkers).

  • Uhm, you seem to really misunderstand why Lemmy is decentralized like it is and just want to replicate the terrible centralized communities found on Reddit.

    It is no problem to find the right community for your interest right now. There are just overall not that many people using Lemmy. What you propose might seem benign in the short term, but will cause massive issue in the long run (see Reddit).

    Suggestion to add ARCHITECTURE.md

    Jump

  • I sure hope LLMs are not used to develop Lemmy currently. Haven't checked in a while, maybe I should do 🤔

  • State of the Discord - A Lesson (r/selfhosted)

    Jump

  • But why a new Discord server? 🤦

  • What are the platforms on the Fediverse doing to prevent data scraping and prevent bots?

    Jump

  • Despite what some other people falsely claim here in the comments, scraping is actually not the same at all as federation. Besides not being reciprocal, scraping puts considerably higher load on the server to the point where it brings down entire servers or at least severely degrades the performance for legitimate users.

  • Hardware recommendations for running OpenSense as a Firewall?

    Jump

  • Opensense is based on BSD, which has a single threaded network stack. This means that low end CPUs can struggle to do >1gbit throughputs. Depending on your WAN this could be an issue.

  • Unable to access lemmy.ml from my desktop. Anubis bot protection takes 36 minutes and then fails. CPU is Intel Celeron G530 from 2011.

    Jump

  • The speed of the CPU is entirely irrelevant to what I wrote 🤷

    Jump

  • Maybe you have a smart-TV that is abused as a residential proxy? Many apps sell this to AI scrapers instead of or in addition to showing you ads.

  • Are you using a shady VPN or so? It is very unlikely that lemmy.ml defaults to difficulty 6 for all visitors. There is likely something that makes your connection look shady so that you get pre-sorted to the bad pile.

  • Federated Feed

    Jump

  • Why would I follow a feed of what appears to be made of pictures that are mostly AI slop?

  • What would you like to see on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • There is apparently an incredible amount of manipulation and legal fights happening around these reviews on Google maps, so that is probably a minefield any independent open-source developer should avoid.

  • Recommended mini pc for a homelab?

    Jump

  • Sure, but the point of getting a mini-pc is usually not that you have an open case with a second ATX PSU sitting on top to power some extra hardrives.

  • Recommended mini pc for a homelab?

    Jump

  • How will you power the drives?

    And from what I have heard, these m2 to SATA adapters have over-heating issues.

  • Recommended mini pc for a homelab?

    Jump

  • You mean "mid" as in midi-tower? Because that sounds like the large version. Well maybe there is an even larger workstation version or so, but the normal medium sized Optiplex comes with one 3.5" SATA bay and one DVD drive.

  • Recommended mini pc for a homelab?

    Jump

  • Optiplex etc. with an Intel 8th gen "T" chips seem to offer the best bang for the buck + energy efficiency on the second hand market right now.

    The main issue with these thin clients is the lack of SATA ports and power connections for them if you want to add some larger 2.5” SSD/HDD storage. Usually it is only one, but you can also use the DVD drive slot with an adapter in the mid sized versions.
