But think about it: You could outsource procrastinating to it and just do other things instead - like herding puppies…
- Comment on What's your preferred version to watch Deep Space Nine? Is AI upscale worth it? 3 days ago:
They need to train the upscaler on the remastered TNG. But I get it’s a rather niche use case.

- Comment on Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI 5 days ago:
Uptime Kuma is sufficient in almost every scenario. If you don’t monitor the additional stats other tools provide they are basically useless anyway.
- Comment on What happend with the the new and old Borg after Picard season 2 and 3? 1 week ago:
They are forgotten by the writers as quickly as they were invented…

- Comment on I accidentally became a FOSS maintainer and all I got was this lousy new perspective on librarianship 2 weeks ago:
While they refer to the same book they are not the same editions of this book. Some are hardcover, some are paperback, some are later editions and only some of them are actual duplicates of the same book (just have a look at the different ISBNs).
Sharing the reviews between these different editions might seem logical for some cases, but a reader might also review the actual quality of a specific edition (poor print quality, cheap paper, etc.). Even the contents of books (mostly in scientific literature) may be vastly different between two editions. So sharing the reviews is a dangerous thing to do.
So in your case this is not due to a lack of federation but because these are actually different books and in a few cases duplicates of the same book (someone didn’t check if the book existed in the first place or was unhappy on how it was represented).

Well then I guess the Wolfenstein games aren’t historically accurate either…?
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 3 weeks ago:
The Stanley Parable is a meta game - a game about playing and making games. And there you are having fun not playing a game…
- Comment on Help with understanding memory usage discrepancy 3 weeks ago:
If that’s the case you should look into your swappiness settings. You can set this to zero meaning the swap will only be used if you’re actually out of memory, but as others have noted that is maybe not a healthy decision…
- Comment on How to (safely) create a Lemmy community server? 3 weeks ago:
Didn’t know that. I agree it is a terrible name, but maybe that’s why it is safe from any cease and desist orders…
- Comment on How to (safely) create a Lemmy community server? 3 weeks ago:
Are you maybe looking for something like Revolt or Spacebar?
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 4 weeks ago:
I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 4 weeks ago:
But Minecraft - even in the Beta days - worked as a complete game. They have been improving (depending on how you like the changes) on it since, but it wasn’t ever filled with literal work in progress signs like Hytale is…
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 4 weeks ago:
That is the cheapest option. Maybe the most convenient or most reliable option, but definitely the cheapest.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.
I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
That’s not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
I have an installation of Stirling PDF, but in my short experiment it had no ability to collaborate on the same document.
Every edit created a new copy of the document downloaded to the user. The annotations weren’t tagged to the individual user and sending different versions of a PDF from user to user is not what I am looking for.
Stirling is a single user software in that regards. I haven’t tested the also mentioned BentoPDF and PdfDing but I suspect them to be the same as they are all trying to be a PDF toolbox like Acrobat.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
I have installed OnlyOffice and it seems to work. I need to test it with a few others over a real connection (not just locally), but it seems promising.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
I will look into these, do you know if they support collaborative annotations?
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
You might be right.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
Not necessary, no.
- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
I tried that. It opens PDFs in Impress (their PowerPoint) and provides only a very basic annotation interface.

- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 1 month ago:
Am I the only one who never realized it was supposed to be a futuristic city? To be honest my English wasn’t that good at the time I played it, but that information never clicked with me.
- Comment on How do I migrate my VPS out of Cloudflare? 1 month ago:
Do you really need that DDoS protection? I have been having my own webserver for decades now hosting public sites and I have only once been in the position that my server was not reachable because of a DDoS attack. And even then the attack was not targeted at my server but at my hosting provider at that time. Everything else was handled by fail2ban easily…
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 1 month ago:
I can somehow understand the people who funded it in the first place, but who invests now in a project which has already been in development hell for more than a decade and produced barely anything playable. Every whale has already been milked - what return of investment can an investor expect from Star Citizen?
- Comment on Do you rebuild your container images yourself? 1 month ago:
Almost never. I don’t see any benefit .
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 month ago:
Gitlab CI/CD pipelines are my go-to tool. At work we self host an instance, for personal projects I use gitlab.com.
- Comment on Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden 1 month ago:
That is true for a single person - but in a multiple person household that would mean that everyone needs to carry a copy of their with them. So this mechanism is no replacement for a solid backup of the server somewhere else…
