Really depends on what data it is and whether you want to search it regularly or just as a one time thing.

You could load them into an rdbms (MySQL/Postgres) and have it handle the indexing, or use python tools to process the files. Something like elasticsearch could work too.

If it’s just a one time thing grep is probably fine tho.

Aleph could work as well but I have no experience with it.

I guess it depends on how much time you want to invest in setting something up versus how much time you’d lose waiting for grep to finish (if you only need to search a certain column, you can create an index with just that column using awk, search that index file, then extract the full line from the source file based on that result, but at that point you’re basically creating a new database engine).

Marketing probably asked everyone to write a review on their internal Slack or something.

Honestly, a spreadsheet would be fine for this? I’m not super familiar with what an inventory management system does tho, so maybe it does things beyond what a spreadsheet can do.

I mean, it’s patching a security issue caused by trusting headers it shouldn’t, so I don’t think they should wait for a big number release.

Yeah, the code history is the easiest thing to migrate. The other stuff like issues relies on having a good exporting/importing tool on both sides.

My answer would basically be yes, but. An old desktop (or even laptop) can definitely be used and will run fine. It should be very easy to get one for free or very cheap as companies will typically write them off after 3-5 years.

However, you might want to consider power consumption. Running a desktop 24/7 will use a lot more power than a new MiniPC or a NUC, so you may want to calculate how much it’ll cost to run a desktop 24/7 compared to a device that only uses 5W or whatever, and see whether the upfront savings make up for what you’ll pay in electricity over a certain period.

I think you might actually want to look into second hand MiniPCs unless you absolutely need to fit a bunch of hard drives in a case (like you probably would with Jellyfin).

Also I want to echo what others are saying about noise. A desktop or rack mounted server will make more noise than a laptop or MiniPC.

That, and discovery algorithms that are user controlled maybe.

Yeah, and it started sucking when it added more users.

Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.

I personally wouldn’t mind algorithmic recommendations if:

• you can control or choose the algorithm
• you can turn it off, or it turns off after you follow N amount of users

Discovery is important when you’re initially signing up, but once you found the people you want to follow, you don’t really need it any more. It should just be there to help new users, essentially. As long as it’s open source and not run for profit, there’s not the traditional incentive to keep your eyeballs on the app like we see with the other networks.

Or back in the days where Google Reader was a thing, one request from them could represent millions of readers.

If needed you could use a subdomain from a free dyndns provider. And if you’re going to be self hosting stuff having your own domain is probably good anyway.

Yeah, I’ve used Nextcloud for this in the past too, but it looks like there’s a ton of other options as well judging by this thread.

Oh great, thanks.

Has it been confirmed this is a federation bug?

I wonder if the companies that forked mastodon (like truth social) will bother to update. I can see someone posting stuff as a former president with this flaw.

Yeah, I wouldn’t think high latency would be too much of an issue for streaming (except maybe for the initialisation), as long as the client has a decent buffer size and doesn’t wait for a packet to arrive before requesting the next one. What client are you using to play your videos?

The man is eccentric to say the least.

RMS uses email to fetch websites instead of using a browser, you could easily do the same with XMPP.

Servers having different admins is definitely a plus over the Reddit model. If I don’t like the admins, I can go to another instance, and if the mods of a board/sublemmit get power hungry people can easily move the bulk of users to a different instance with the same name and other mods.

Reddit was really starting to suffer under admin and mod abuse, even before the API changes.
