You’ve come a long long way!

Never deleting anything is how you end up like lemmy.sdf.org which effectively deletes everything.

Use services with sensible storage management functionality of you want to avoid your stuff being deleted.

Users with the admin role should be exempt from this restriction. @squirrel@cake.kobel.fyi

Good point about the jurisdiction. I’m not too worried about making a bit announcement about it though as this change simplifies things - before https://piefed.social/rules talked about needing to be legal in both Germany and New Zealand but now it’s just New Zealand. So now there’s less restrictions not more or different.

Lemmy fixed the latency thing a few versions ago :)

A paper notepad + pen. Writing things down makes it stick in your brain a bit more.

1 day of set up to get to ‘hello world’.

Now you know why people hate mobile app development! Wait till you discover the torment of the app stores, lol

There are easily enough donations to cover hosting costs but nowhere near enough to enable me to spend as much time working on the software as it needs.

Sure, please see https://piefed.social/donate

Yeah. My VPS had a 40% increase. It’s not the end of the world but this AI shortage isn’t going away so I expect another 40% increase next year.

hmm it’s pretty nice outside, maybe later…

Into two old servers in my garage.

This does seem tenuous, yes.

If they want to experiment with AI a bit and try to find a use-case for it, a bit of R&D every now and then can be good, right? But the way to do that would be to temporarily rent a VPS with a GPU. From AWS or whatever. That way when/if it looks good they’ll know roughly what size hardware to buy (way more than a 5070 ti most likely). Also if it doesn’t pan out all you’ve lost is a couple of hundred $ on one month’s rental and you can close it down and move on.

Or just use the OpenAI API, that way you don’t need to figure out how to run a model at all and can just concentrate on the data integration to see if that’s viable.

I’ve been using JetBrains Mono and Maple looks the same but nicer. Thanks!

How long would it take to type in a bootloader?

This addresses some really difficult and long-standing problems and I really look forward to seeing the result.

I’ve had my eye on FIRES for some time and this funding will take it from fringe niche thing to the big time.

I’ve noticed a lot of those big-in-microblogging folks have figured out what gives viral among their audience and just keep repeating it over and over in different forms.

Why? Hooked on the validation? It doesn’t seem healthy.

Yes, it is on a PieFed instance. So: flairs, hashtags, emoji reactions, mods equipped with the tools they need and so on.

PM me the community names, I can do it unilaterally.

PieFed only stores 90 days of read post history.

Now that we have had that feature running for a long time I can see how much space is used by this (430 MB) and I think it’s fine to increase this to 180 days.

I’ve also added an admin option at /admin/misc which will let you increase it to any value. If you want to keep read history ‘forever’ than just put a really big value in there. On a single user instance the amount of data used by this table will probably be much smaller than it is on piefed.social.

We can adapt and the process of doing that in capitalism involves prices rising and rising until people can’t afford things and stop buying them, thus reducing demand.

That’s super tough on people who don’t have much money and they don’t consume much anyway so when they tap out it doesn’t reduce demand much. So prices need to rise enough to hurt the middle class in developed countries, meaning the lower classes everywhere else have a really shit time.

Meanwhile there are some oil uses that are completely unable to be reduced, such as emergency services, food distribution, etc so the govt will intervene in the market to ensure that happens. This means all non-essential sectors of the economy must reduce usage by significantly more than 20%.

Meanwhile every country’s govt is doing everything it can to try to lock in 100% of their usual supply and some will succeed, leaving other countries to make much bigger cuts than 20%.

There will be lots of people making 100% cuts while a few make none. Humanity isn’t great at sharing especially at a global level.
