  I thought I was responding to a comment about comics lol

  Yeah anime Wolverine was not very grusome. Even popular American anime like the Simpsons, and Loonytoons were strictly cartoonist violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm tired of teen superheroes⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Wolverines comics had some awesome brutal fights

  Web 2.0 and the stiffling of the indie web is the issue to me.

  Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, etc aren’t built to cool web pages in front of people as those could leave people off of the site.

  There are some crazy cool html5 stuff out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Project?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a value as well. But also support from people already actively contributing to the project can be very helpful as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Project?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Commercial support exists for opensource too so its just a misunderstanding of it.

  “would never allow an automated routine to download arbitraru code” javascript and wasm being the leading tech to do exactly this. Make those essential for loading content and bypassing it would have to be bespoke solutions depending on the framework and implementations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CrowdBucks is a new payment system for the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sweet so now we have OpenCollective, Librepay, and now CrowdBucks. All kind of filling different roles it seems. On going orgnization funding (with transparency as a goal), patronige of a project/group you support (with ease as a goal), and now fundraising (which is generally a limited time activity).

  Am I comparing them all pretty well here? Or is there anythjng im missing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Fediverse Permaculture⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally the permaculture/food forest idea idea like to care over is lifecycle exspectations.

  Living things die, its why reproduction is so importatant. We have high energy and low energy periods. Sometimes the weather isnt what we need, sometimes it provides more than what we alone can use. Etc etc

  This is what see in terms of fediverse instances lacking community. Who might take over as the lead? Who can troubleshoot an issue at 10 UTC? What about about 2 UTC OR 22 UTC? Who is in charge during ramadan? Christmas? Etc.

  Admins are people, the need time off, how does that work?

  This can be solved with the intentional community way. An orginization exists. Guidelines and rules documented. Members trained. Rules enforced. Trust given to roles, members given roles. Like an orderly garden.

  It can also be managed by creating antifragile systems. Like a food forest. Mbin’s PR community concensus proccess is an example to me. Trust is more in the proccess than the person. Decentralized Autonomus Orginizations (DAOs) are another example of that. As could be smart contracts. Basically steps taken to make the proccesses and ecosystem handle the maintinance move towards this version.

  I wonder if a federation of admins could help some there too. Basically multiple instances ran by different people but an agreed standard of neccerary configs to make it a unified interface from the users stand point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh my first thought was “ehh people can just vpn around it then” which is basically just saying its easily circumventable and i know no instance of legal issues for those that do.

  Still a net negative for that state though and the more laws and circumvemtion becomes more common the more people are thrown into the precarius class (see immigrants in the US now).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh that makes me think of neat outcome DID here. Multiinstance communities with DID verifying them together.

  Fools want the lies to be true. I do think its important to still expose people to facts and such though, but the fact the misinformation central quaritined themselves has made my expericence of the fediverse better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PXE Imaging server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly i use my openwrt router, and Tinkerbell (pxe boot services deployed and managed from kubernetes!). Ubuntus MaaS had a really straight forward set and gui too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually you got me thinkng about some of my pieces.

  But overall i agree with most of the thread here. Properly rack it, and secure the rack. Then basic locking does the rest (secure a rack door with a lock).

  Security cameras system help police catch theives.

  Encryption on data you care about and off site back ups meqns rebuilding is just getting the hardware again.

  For mini pcs and laptops they have those security cables to at least attach them to a heavier thing (desk, cabinet, etc). (this is the thing i hadn’t thought about).

  Finding obsure places to hide my nodes is practical matter for me, because space is always a premium, so over sizing cooling solutions (liquid cooling to big radiators) and then finding wierd places to tuck them away (i mean why cant a computer rack be a night stand, the raspberry pi is clustered anyway why not stick in a lamp, the crawl space is actually always dry there and nice and cool to boot!, etc, etc). That probally adds some* factor to it.

  The consumer stuff i have is a more likly target then the SOC or server stuff though. At least for me.

  A lazy/cheap thing you can do to stabalize the soil is mix in some part concrete with the dirt, tamp down hard, and water. Not fully concrete but will prevent errosion and shifting quite a bit.

  The funniest part of ai subs has been it always adds cussing to kids shows and censors cusses in other clips.

  Its is almost worse than nothing for me, someone that just enjoys subtitles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  H A R V E S T E R

  Lol

  But honestly got all of nodes (some new hardware, some minipcs, some old laptops, some ewaste servers, some raspberry pies, a VM off my Macbook), all in my harvestet cluster

  Played some with nutanix as a vm in that cluster (what a fing nightmare, anr not virtual hardware just Nutanix …). Playing with ESXI now (its not happy about my amd chips so far…). And also my virtual harvester cluster. Easy so far but i want to get more ambitoius in creating a mock deployment, network and all, so i can test crazier configs without losing a day to rebuilding a clustet via thumb drive again…

  Also managed some risk and got my ISP to let me do dual modems on the same bus and configed OpenWRT to load balance between them and via usb my wifi hotspot. Still working with them to try and get more IPs so can use the 4 total ports on my modem stacks to attach to both of my routers.

  I like tinkering with junk, so the other half of my hobby is just risk mitigation (which i also enjoy).

  K3s, RKE2 and Harvester are all really easy to do at home. Harvester is its own os so its more for if you have a homelab but i have rke2 running on every pc in my house including the pies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First design things to work fully offline. Full airgap between the system and the rest of the world. Then introduce features to update that airgapped system from one way data transfers (like sneakernetting a hard drive/USB/disk/tape). Then introduce additional features to get that data from a network but cached local. Then introduce networked features, and only if connecting to another independent system is absolutely needed.

  Basically stick what has worked in tech and avoid developing SaaS. At least if you are making something for users and not shareholders.

  This. Honestly things like image detection, anomaly detection over big data sets, and semantic searching, all seem very useful in professional contexts.

  Generative AI not heavily grounded in real data is just better for no-risks tasks.
