I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I'm interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

  • When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

  • Old PC's and especially laptops (make sure to consider removing the battery though) make great homeservers. You can run dozens of services on old hardware.

  • Yes, but if you care about power efficiency then they really aren't a great option. Most professional server hardware that you can get for a decent price uses significantly more power than an old mini computer or a cheap N100 PC. I own a proliant but rarely power it on due to the fact that I could rent an similarly performant VPS for 2x the power bill. Besides that many server CPU's don't have integrated GPU's and will require additional hardware if you want to run something like Jellyfin.

  • Score could be kept with citations. You'd be required to list the work you built on, as we do today, and the authors would receive credit. No citation would be worth more than another. If you published something useful for a particular field or made a major discovery that opened a new field, then your citation count would reflect it.

    Wouldn't you be able to game that by having 2 entities spamming citations for each other?

    Why do I get error when try to upload a photo?

  • Have you tried converting it to a webp first? That usually solves it for me.

  • Lemmy Just Broke the 54k MAU Record Set During the 2023 API Exodus!

    Jump

  • Yes I remember the lemmy.world servers being DDOS'ed every couple of days and having to switch between 3 clients and the webinterface because all of the apps were missing some features. The alternative frontends like photon and tesseract have really improved and imo should be the new defaults.

    What is stopping corporations from hijacking the Fediverse by hosting massive servers?

    Jump

  • Microsoft have been endorsing Linux recently for this reason.

    I doubt that's still the reason, I think they endorse it because they're making a shit ton of money using it on Azure.

  • It's a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP's and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn't the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

  • Rust drivers expected to become more common in Linux kernel

  • Have you used both languages before?

  • Rust drivers expected to become more common in Linux kernel

    Jump

  • Rust code (and the ecosystem) seems to put a higher priority on describing code contracts through the type system and documentation. I personally feel you don't need as much context to write functional code compared to C where every corner of the codebase might be hiding something that could impact the part your working on.
