We might finally get a triumvirate of generalist, centrist instances!

…or .world will crash, burn, and implode

Speaking of which, nice username

though I’m not sure I get the “train” bit

Also, no federation on the NodeBB/piefed unless/until the users overwhelmingly ask for it.

NodeBB or maybe piefed to host announcements and provide a place for questions and feedback.

Consider creating an account for each household with a “correct horse battery staple” style password that’s easy to input on mobile, print out a little slip of paper with an explanation blurb and account name & password, and deposit in their mailbox.

Do not expect any users until you’ve hosted several game nights that had multiple attendees. From what you say you are the events committee, not the online life committee. I would thus recommend to stay focused on events until people bring up, unprompted, a desire for more casual day-to-day interactions. You want to be integrating into their existing habits, not trying to replace them. Let the “switching” happen on their own initiative lest they feel like they’re being co-opted for your own personal agenda.

I heard an interview with one of the victim’s family’s lawyers on the radio last week. They described going from incredulity to shock and outrage as each case was examined in court and the defense’s tone and arguments got more and more accusatory and belligerent. The anesthetist is apparently the one common factor in all the deaths.

Of course, it’s part of their job to garner sympathy in whatever way possible.

Scary stuff all around.

Forgejo has their own runner: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/actions/runner-installation/

I’ve used it on my personal machine, was very easy to setup and mostly compatible with GitHub actions out-of-the-box (including things like actions/checkout@v4).

Good thing I never deleted my linkedin, that should be much cleaner than fediverse accounts

I see, thanks for the correction.

There used to be this website, but the url just loads up a scam site now (I’ve created this issue on the project’s tracker if anyone has additional info to contribute).

I don’t know how technical you are, @VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca , but you could try running the “defed-investigator” project locally.

lemmy.ml, no, but I’m fairly certain that lemmygrad.ml has been defederated from lemmy.world at least, if not others.

Syntax highlighting for code blocks is the reason I prefer discord over slack for collaborating and just chatting with friends who know how to code. I imagine some irc clients exist that so the same, but at least with discord I know my recipient is guaranteed to see what I see.

Sounds like either federation working as intended, or some client app trying to cache info about your instance. Might be https://fedidb.com/ or https://fediverse.observer/ or some other service.

From my understanding of word embeddings (as used by LLMs), you could skip the LLM and directly compare the similarity of what the STT outputs to each task or phrase in a list you have prepared. You’d need to test it out a few times to see what threshold works, but even testing against dozens of phrases should be much faster than spinning up an LLM - and it should be fully deterministic.

plus my passwords are partials (I salt them)

I’m curious how you make that work - do you just remember the salts, store them separately, or what? I have like 50-70 passwords in my store currently, there’s no way I’m remembering a (true random) salt for each one.

I use pass for my passwords, and it has an otp extension that I’ve been using more and more. I used to use aegis but I have needed to switch phones one too many times without having access to the previous phone to be comfortable with phones for 2fa.

Of course, this isn’t as secure as a truly separate OTP solution, but it’s still better than no OTP/2FA. And I can easily enough back up and restore my 2fa access over the internet, even on a new computer (albeit I need to also backup a PGP key that can decrypt the password store to truly be portable).

It’s very crazy. Sadly this isn’t the first time it’s happened, and as a behavior it tends to get passed on from generation to generation.

See the Romans calling all non-romans “barbarians”, the numerous falsehoods used to justify European colonization of the rest of the world and the chattel slave trade, the decade or so of virulent antisemitism that the Nazis helped build up before they ever built the first gas chamber, etc. See also Radio Genocide in Rwanda for a more recent example, or how spokespeople from the Israeli government compared Palestinians to cockroaches and other vermin in the days after the October 7 Hamas-led attacks.

Nine times out of ten, it is no accident but rather intentional propaganda. Someone (or some group) decides that they need what others have, and sets about preparing their fellow humans to be ok with taking it.

In a sense, it’s precisely because it is so awful a thing that we have gotten so skilled at doing it [to each other]; if you can dehumanize someone it’s a lot more feasible to take their stuff for yourself. And it can be very tempting to take the easy way out and take from others instead of figuring out how to provide for yourself.

Not to mention it is easier to write off a being’s inherent wants or needs if you are convinced they are lesser than you, and in many Western societies we have an existing cultural legacy of “god gave humans the earth to inherit as their dominion” which predisposes us towards deciding for other beings what their existence should be like without ever considering that the being in question gets a say.

Sorry if this became a bit of a ramble, I’ve been hung up on the issue of dehumanization ever since learning about how the Nazis rose to power in grade school and realizing that nothing was being done in society around me to prevent that sort of thinking from taking hold [again].

If I had to guess, I would say the main difference is you (still) see non-israelis as being just as human as Israelis. Whereas Netanyahou has probably dehumanized them to be less than cockroaches in his own psyche.

Pretty easy to sleep at night if you’ve convinced yourself you’re “cleaning up vermin” 🤮

Kudos for developing this on your phone! I’ve played around with termux, even have a Bluetooth keyboard, but I’ve never had the courage to actually code through it.

I often see LogSeq, and to a lesser extent Silver Bullet, mentioned as self-hostable alternatives to Obsidian that people actually appreciate using.

Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault’s work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone’s public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.
