That for me, receiving a crying emoji on a post doesn’t make me feel more connected to people.
I said that if that works for you and makes you feel connected, then Facebook would indeed offer connection for you. It doesn’t for me.
I am not sure why you seemingly got mad about it.
If zero effort bits posted to your page make you feel that connected, then Facebook might be for you.
Leave Facebook for a month. Tell people how to reach you on there before you go. You’ll forget why you ever went to that site.
The N100 is a nice little chip for mini home servers. I run podman containers for all media stuff with no issues. You’re gonna have fun.
so uh … I’ve been sorta contemplating preinastalled hardware. Think a mini pc you plug into your router. Or even a minipc that replaces your router and has a clean UI for picking a handful of curated self-hosted stuff you want.
You could buy the hardware as a simple jumping off point to learn more or (and here is where I am not sure if there’s a market) you could pay me (or other sysadmins like me) to support it.
What if self-hosted stuff worked a bit like your HVAC,. electrical or plumbing?
Not only that, I am reading angry commenter’s comments from an mbin instance. 🤷♂️
I think the people who grew up a bit later may feel this more keenly than some of us olds who used to have to use the yellow pages.
Not only that but … here we are. 🤷♂️
I am interested and I like this.
However, I don’t really get it. The site linked just seems like a feed of all products.
Is there a way to see caregories based on people marking up their items?
Is there an ActivityPub spec around these?
🤷♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.
You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.
Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:
Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.
Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?
I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.
How is this not a caching issue on the linked server? Serving the same info up over and over from memory should be incredibly fast.
Are their pages dynamic and filled with ads and stuff or something that makes this a problem?
Sock puppet fuckup or what?
They don’t want AI to hate itself, so they don’t want our training data, thankfully.
You are here, you are doing something. If they start with the bullshit we defederate them. (Or build new tech to keep corp influence in check, whatever we want.)
Point is: at some point me getting updates from Aunt Ethel matters a lot less to me than controlling my privacy and living my life without being advertised to every second.
Hi. With the utmost courtesy and respect: please look at the vote counts and feedback here.
At the least, in anything like its current form, we fediverse people don’t want this.
If people want to be on reddit, they can be. If they want their niche community on that site, they’re allowed. Trying to bridge content between sites that are potentially even antagonistic toward one another is not a good plan, no matter how virtuous your intentions.
If Netflix is denying you access to the subscription you pay for because you’re using a VPN to connect, that starts to smell like a good class action to me.
All current popular AI is meant to run on GPU. Why are you going to spend more money to run it on hardware for which it isn’t intended?
