fixate on what you think you know... you're missing what you don't though.

  • I know, I know... but for what its worth - Firefox and noscript will get you the article.

  • that Rambo died in a boxoffice fire between 1982 and 1985.

  • hence the worldcoin stuff - not just machine to machine. allows "ai" to perform real world action through human incentivization. entirely disturbing if you ask me.

  • i try to balance my personal distaste for general bans with the much desired trait that every instance can be an island in a larger ocean if it wishes. so, as long as i have the ability to choose home instances based on my favored criteria, its ok with me. making sure that new users fully understand they have choice and can get vastly different experiences based on instance can be a challenge, however.

    consolidation around large instances is more of a worry, but over the last 6 months or so I feel (100% subjective) that there has been much more activity on smaller, topic-centric instances. I try to respectfully engage with them as much as possible - sometimes even successfully.

    I am pretty happy with lemmy and the lemmy trendlines. its the only social watering hole I visit now.

  • in reading through the comments I feel a sense of "lemmy pride" that instances have genuine, recognized flavors and that federation works as well as it does for the overwhelming majority of people. this really is the way, methinks. 👍

  • nah. I have found .ml to be pretty opinionated but diverse since signing up. aside from some minor inter/intra instance strife, its been good.

    I think most people eventually get over themselves and recognize the social and technical usefulness of .ml - having a bleeding edge, well federated instance where you find the beehaws, worlds, hexbears and others is... interesting. the flavor of each instance really comes through and you can still curate your own feed as needed.

  • oh, cool - RFKs suggested DSM just dropped!

  • Those exceptions don't do shit.

    thanks for this. a reminder to scream this nugget of wisdom into the face of every "partial ban" supporter.

  • I imagine, sometimes, its the only way to cope with them. some people get paranoid, some do not. setting and grounding play important roles in this.

  • if you really want a deep dive (cuz your post suggests that), fire up wireshark on a speed test PC and capture the traffic while you test. look for out-of-order, missing and corrupted packets. you will also get awesome stats on the traffic - wireshark is your best friend. be warned, this is the entrance to the rabbit hole.

    edit: because at some point you are going to want to slide wireshark between the cable modem and your router - for general troubleshooting (and funsies!) then things get interesting as you figure out how to do that properly.

  • 110% legit. its just that simple.

  • test it early morning when your neighbor peeps are sleeping (or bulk traffic torrenting - QoS usually knocks them back down pretty quickly). at the least you are looking for rock solid ping times. if pings are wild your link or the community bandwidth is possibility saturated.

  • is something already pushing 300Mbps worth of traffic across the router? speed tests that are good at power cycle, but quickly deteriorate after, can sometimes indicate that you have unaccounted for traffic crossing a bandwidth limited i/f (your ISPs service).

    check your router stats for the missing traffic.

    edit: also, almost all ISPs have a "burst bucket" for quick but intensive bursts of traffic. you get super speed for a few seconds while your bucket fills up. once full/overcommitted, your ISP starts rate limiting your service again. that may be why you get nice initial speeds, but they drop off quickly. does your ISP give burst speeds and sustained speeds in its terms of service contract on your kids?

  • at which point you turn on all symbols/debugging, bloat your binary 10x and submit it ...cuz it seems to work sometimes then.

  • unsurprisingly, I think bernie does not care and would only consider the safety of others involved.

    to my thinking, anyone involved should be willing to commit to the idea that this revolution wont come through evolution and wont be televised.

  • Crowd sourced, open access FLOS(Data) is almost always good. will check it out. thanks!

  • and, hopefully, we can finally let the man rest a bit.

  • They are doing everything possible to bait Harris into a mistake

    super walz to the rescue. seems like he has played the VP attack dog role pretty smartly. loud enough to make headlines with reasonably pointed attacks, while being "clean" enough to deflect incoming.

  • that snark just snapped my head back.
