Could be that they are taking a loss on the initial units in order to get going. Once the campaign backers are taken care the product is commercialized and then the price goes up. I’ve seen more than one Kickstart campaign used to launch a company in just this way. (Tempest PWS is another example).

Anyway they aren’t vaporware. I backed the campaign and received my units today.

I’m popping by to let you know that I received mine today. I won’t have time to play with them until tonight but I did unbox one and they look just as advertised.

Why? At worst I’m out a few bucks but I really do expect them to show up. Jeff Gerling has already been playing with them.

3532. I happened to be in my email when the survey link came through so I had it filled out within 2-3 minutes. BTW I goofed, I got the “reward shipped” email two days ago and not last week. So it’s with China shipping but hasn’t hit a domestic carrier yet.

I backed it as well. Got my shipping notice a week ago and am looking forward to playing with it.

Community search could be improved.

This isn’t a community search problem. I absolutely should NOT have to intentionally visit every single niche community that I am already subscribed too.

The USER needs a way to control their feed, either by throttling large communities or boosting smaller ones.

Let’s say I’m subscribed to !world@lemmy.world and !news@lemmy.world because I want to occasionally see news.

I have this exact problem and it’s maddening. Fucking “news”, which is mostly just political posts about how shitty Republicans are completely drowns out all of my smaller niche communities!

I don’t know how to fix the problem but the USER needs some way to control their feed. We either need to be able to throttle the larger communities or boost the smaller ones.

Why is anyone usi5any of them? They’re all clogged toilets overflowing the same shit onto the flower.

Because too many mods are power tripping assholes and I say that as someone whose been a mod in various corners of the Internet since at least 2000.

The best mods, and admins, are nearly invisible and as close to drama free as possible.

There’s only been about 700 yacy peers online in the last 30 days which is pretty low for a “crowd sourced” search engine, especially when many of those are, I think, temporary peers that come and go. It looks like it has only maybe 200 “master” servers which wouldn’t be nearly enough to keep up with the Internet these days.

The good news is that if there’s websites / urls that you care about you can point your own yacy instance at them and schedule the crawls to keep up with content changes.

I remember reading about yacy some years ago and now that I’ve bumped it into again it’s sparked my interest. I may stand up a docker instance and play with it for awhile. If nothing else it could make a very useful “arrrrr” search engine.

basically requires a minimum of 20-30GB of RAM to be performant.

That’s odd, the project page states 256 Megabytes and practically speaking that’s nothing. Where did you find 20-30G? Are you sure you’re not confusing the memory requirement with the suggested free hard drive space?

Even if it does need 32G of RAM to perform well it’s not a very high hurdle. 32G of DDR4 can be had used for less than $75. Toss that in an old Core8/9 I5 Desktop, install your preferred flavor of Linux, add Docker, and you’re off to the races.

Not yet but they’re working on it.

Id really like to see that happen.

Excellent!

Hi!

I can’t speak for all users of lemmy.today but as a user of lemmy.today I would prefer it if we took reasonable steps like email verification to be a good neighbor, especially if it prevents other instances from de-federating us. Just my 2 cents. :)

If you’d like help managing it I’m willing to donate time and effort.

What happened to Hanlon’s Razor?

Rossman happened. He has videos that need watched.

Reolink.

Lemmy really really needs instance blocking. Yes I know some clients have it but Lemmy itself needs a way to enable users to fully block another instance and all of its communities.

LASIM is similar and while it won’t run on iOS it will work on *Nix, Windows, and MacOS.
