Off-and-on trying out an account over at @tal@oleo.cafe due to scraping bots bogging down lemmy.today to the point of near-unusability.
I believe, from long-ago reading, that you can pick a region. I don't use it myself, though.
EDIT: Sounds like it.

How to select certain country for exit node?
You need to modify your torrc and use ExitNodes.
It allows the use of fingerprints (if you want to use a specific exit relay) or country codes, which is what you are looking for.
Note the following warning from the man page:
Note that if you list too few nodes here, or if you exclude too many exit nodes with ExcludeExitNodes, you can degrade functionality. For example, if none of the exits you list allows traffic on port 80 or 443, you won’t be able to browse the web.
Open source means you can see how maliciously and constantly you are fucked over by the app.
The conversation during the first date largely consisted of the couple swapping notes on their respective code audits of the dating system. It was when Jeremy heard Sandra raise the issue that some of the site's metrics for individual users used Sturge's rule to bin users, but that off-site demographic data suggested that the distribution of several of these metrics were not symmetric, at that moment, that he knew that the two were meant to be.
It would not be boring in any sense of the word when you got close to magma. :-)
I almost commented earlier and suggested Street Complete myself, on the grounds that if someone is sad, which OP said he was, getting outside and getting exercise can be helpful.
Forgejo, codebergs self hosted option requires too much manpower/manual work and/or custom ansible work compared to others
Ehh. I mean, I haven't looked at it, but honestly, how hard would it be for someone to improve that?

I mean, if you're okay using that, the example per-site configuration there is like...36 lines of YAML.
EDIT: Oh, the example doesn't set up TLS, and I guess probably most people would want that.
I don't particularly have a problem with Codeberg or with GitHub, but if I were doing a software project and it were GPL-licensed and I didn't have an existing presence anywhere, I'd probably look at the FSF's Non-GNU Savannah. I have a pretty high level of trust that anything that the FSF does is going to be okay (and, frankly, it's one of the few organizations where there is necessarily a fair bit of trust in that the FSF can create updated versions of the GPL that GPL-licensed software can be used under anyway), and they've been running that forge for...checks...24 years now. I would bet that 24 years from now, it'll probably be more-or-less the same.
EDIT: I would add that it'd maybe be kind of interesting to have some kind of distributed forge. I mean, git is intrinsically distributed, but as I talked about in a recent discussion, issue-tracking isn't (though there is a distributed git-bug that I discovered in that discussion), and while you can do code review via email (and email is distributed), a lot of people use non-distributed Web frontends on forges for it.
Like, I think that it might be nice to just make forges distributed, make people not rely on centralized infrastructure in general.
If you are a chemist tasting stuff to identify properties is a bad idea.
I was appalled, reading through these:
1879:
"How did I discover saccharine?" he said. "Well, it was partly by accident and partly by study. I had worked a long time upon the compound radicals and a substitution products of coal tar, and had made a number of scientific discoveries that are, as far as I know, of no commercial value. One evening I was so interested in my laboratory that I forgot about supper until quite late, and then rushed off for a meal without stopping to wash my hands. I sat down, broke a piece of bread, and put it to my lips. It tasted unspeakably sweet. I did not ask why it was so, probably because I thought it was some cake or sweetmeat. I rinsed my mouth with water, and dried my mustached with my napkin, when, to my surprise, the napkin tasted sweeter than the bread. Then I was puzzled. I again raised my goblet, and, as fortune would have it, applied my mouth where my fingers had touched it before. The water seemed sirup. It flashed upon me that I was the cause of the singular universal sweetness, and I accordingly tasted the end of my thumb, and found that it surpassed any confectionary I had ever eaten. I saw the whole thing at a glance. I had discovered or made some coal tar substance which out-sugared sugar. I dropped my dinner and ran back to the laboratory. There, in my excitement, I tasted the contents of every beaker and evaporating dish on the table. Luckily for me, none contained any corrosive or poisonous liquid.
"One of them contained an impure solution of saccharine..."
1965:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame#History
Aspartame was discovered by accident[60] in December 1965[61] by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for G.D. Searle & Company in Skokie, Illinois. Schlatter had synthesized aspartame as an intermediate step in generating a tetrapeptide of the hormone gastrin, for use in assessing an anti-ulcer drug candidate.[60] He discovered its sweet taste when he licked his finger, which had become contaminated with aspartame, to lift up a piece of paper.[12][62]
1967:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acesulfame_potassium#Discovery
Acesulfame potassium was developed after the accidental discovery of a similar compound (5,6-dimethyl-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide) in 1967 by Karl Clauss and Harald Jensen at Hoechst AG.[16][17] After some of the chemical powder accidentally spilled onto his sweater, Clauss licked his finger to wipe the spots away, which led him to notice its intensely sweet taste.[18][19]
1975:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucralose
Sucralose was discovered in 1975 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London).[21] While researching novel uses of sucrose and its synthetic derivatives, mixing sulfuryl chloride with sugar, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. According to an anecdotal account, Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did and found the compound to be exceptionally sweet.[22][23]

It's not in there. Could be that the subspecies classification was recent or undone or controversial or something?

If you run in the cloud, the hardware is shared. When one person isn't using it, another can be. That can lead to high rates of capacity utilization, approaching 100%.
If I have local AI compute hardware, if I'm not using it, it's idle. If 1% of the time, I have it crunching something for me, then I'm only getting 1% capacity utilization of that hardware. That means that to provide the same level of compute capability to everyone for local use, I need 100 times as much hardware.
AI cloud companies have purchased more memory than the rest of the world is buying.
If we did everything locally, we'd need a hundred times more memory than what the cloud AI companies are picking up.
We couldn't do that without far more memory production capacity. Even if someone started on a buildout of that scale today, a new memory factory takes 4--5 years to get into production.
I mean, owls typically eat small birds too, just like cats.
I mean, you're talking about Reddit, which is a brand, in this comment.
Like, people talk about things, and a lot of things have brands.
Gorgon Halo, IIRC, goes up to a unified 192GB.
And while it depends on application, I generally agree that amount of memory is the most important factor. I started out with a 24GB RX 7950 XTX and then picked up a 128GB Framework Desktop. The larger amount of memory on the Framework is just a lot more useful than the greater bandwidth on the 7950, gives a lot more flexibility. I was always able to find useful things to do with more memory and could use more. For LLMs, more context, larger models, less quantitization. For image diffusion models, larger models, higher native resolutions without tradeoffs like having an upscaling pass, batch passes.
You can see why the cloud AI companies are hell-bent on getting all the memory that they can get their paws on.
When there is a split, the Vice President breaks the tie.
But more generally, that's an intended design feature. The Senate (power is a function of the number of states) is where the states are represented, the House of Representatives (power is a function of number of people) where the people are.
Switzerland is another federation that has a bicameral structure with a legislative house that represents the states.
Australia's a federation that has has both legislative houses allocated based on number of states.
When I went through school, I did both at various points. Sometimes I'd buy lunch in the cafeteria. Sometimes I'd take a bag lunch.
The cafeteria can do hot food, which you can't bring. But a bag lunch lets you choose options that aren't served in the cafeteria.
I mean, honestly, same subsequent to education, at work. People might bring a lunch, or might eat commercially-prepared food. Not really a universal standard.
I once helped take care of a hedgehog when its owner was away. It didn't like anything except being left alone under a blanket at day and at night, to creep out to crunch on some food.
