Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.

Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.

Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.

Or quit using his code altogether.

Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Maybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

Looks like I’m about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.

Uhh… if your script is subbing to 24k remote communities, those will continue to grow from then on, unless you start purging communities at some point. After one user subscribes to a community, all new content gets indexed and stored on your instance. Pict-rs can cache images short term (and eventually clear them out), but Postgres will start growing very quickly and never slow down until it fills up disks.

I’ve had access to 4 for several weeks and it’s not really much better. Maybe I’m just asking too much of it though.

Strongly disagree about gpt being excellent for code, it’s extremely confident about the wrong answer most of the time. I’ve found it to be mildly useful as a Stack Overflow alternative (for asking general questions and having it point me in some direction) but it’s code outputs are garbage.

These instructions won’t work in anyone’s unraid box, even if they compile compose from source. Not sure why people think posting random chatGPT’d instructions is remotely useful.

Probably, it’d be pretty stupid not to put his ex-Twitter engineers on the Threads projects. But it’s entirely legal to have your employees work on something close to what they did at their last job. I’d be very, very surprised if Meta knowingly allowed stolen IP to be incorporated into their new product, Musk needs to provide some evidence to back his claims.

What “trade secrets” does he claim were stolen? Obviously ex-Twitter employees who move to Meta know their tech stack. But there’s not a chance that their codebases are compatible so even if someone directly carried cover over from Twitter to a new job at Meta, it’s not like it would be useful.

And if he thinks current Meta employees are still accessing Twitter IP/code/etc, Elon probably needs to first look internally and maybe not fire entire security & compliance teams.

Apollo going away was the catalyst for me. I will never use Reddit’s garbage website or first-party app.

Plus Lemmy gave me an excuse to host another neat service and still waste the same time I did on Reddit.

I’m just letting mine do whatever it wants, got plenty of local storage. If/when I have storage issues I’ll add an s3 bucket, pretty easy to modify the entrypoint for pictrs to pass s3 connection info in the docker-compose deployment.

I spun up Firefly a few months ago and had about three weeks where I was actively categorizing transactions and reconciling everything and then my ADD kicked in. Really cool tool but I just need something low-maintenance for budget tracking.

From what I’ve seen and read, server to server traffic is less taxing on instances than client to server. So even if your instance is JUST you, it would be your instance talking to everything else so it would have some net benefit on the federation. But it would take a lot of users self-hosting solo instances for this to help in any noticeable way, I’d think.

There is certainly no downside to running a solo instance, if you’re even slightly interested I would say go for it!
