Finally, a chance to cash in on my bored lemmings.

Just Peertube. I’ve been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don’t think I’m going to sign up for another one.

Thought you’d never ask. https://youtu.be/i-jdhorGtQI?t=17

My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.

Probably obscure if you’re under 50.

My Mastodon instance disappeared a few weeks ago, so I’m getting a kick out of this post.

I’m not good at describing things, but I’ll give it a try. Thanks

A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what’s currently downloading, give a history of what’s been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.

I’m workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don’t know where it’s safe to ask NSFW programming questions.

And we make it worse by saying “Just pick one. It doesn’t matter what instance you’re on because they’re federated.”

Some people are going to be very upset to find their local feed is a lot of content they don’t agree with. Or when they go out into the fediverse and people automatically assume they’re an A-hole because of the instance they’re from. I mean, it’s generally not that bad, but there are a few instances that are that bad.

And for people like me who gravitate toward smaller instances, that instance is probably gonna die. Happened to me twice already, 4 times if you count Mastodon and Peertube.

I agree with CameronDev, not so much on the capacity, but the bandwidth. At 100+ Gb, the Ryzen/Core platforms are really holding you back with their weak I/O.

If you need that much memory, you might be better off picking up a used Xeon/Epyc from Ebay. Their CPU speeds are lower, but the quad channel RAM could make up for it, depending on what you’re trying to do.

Mastodon is still confusing to me. But that’s probably because I’ve never been on Twitter, FB, Insta, etc.

One day it was the 18th largest Lemmy instance, then it just disappeared. No word from the owner or anything.

https://tchncs.de/en/ has a pretty good landing page.

It’s not so focused on the US. I live in the US and I’m getting tired of hearing about us.

Nice video. Looking at those instance names, I can pretty much tell the era when this video was made. I’m a vlemmy orphan.

Seems like that should be illegal, like changing the odometer on a car, but what do I know.

And here I was complaining about cheeseburger.social going down. Our user count was well into the dozens. Dozens!
