- Comment on Why do some instances not load communities properly? 16 hours ago:
The outbox on a Lemmy community only has the last 50 posts and there is no pagination to get another 50. Also Lemmy posts have no replies collection so it's impossible to get the replies without using their API.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 3 days ago:
a similar amount of energy to running a hair dryer
We see a lot of those kinds of comparisons. Thing is, you run a hair dryer once per day at most. Or it's compared to a google search, often. Again, most people will do a handful of searches each day. A ChatGPT conversation can be hundreds of messages back and forth. A Claude Code session can go for hours and involve millions of tokens. An individual AI inference might be pretty tame but the quantity of them is another level.
If it was so efficient then they wouldn't be building Manhatten-sized datacenters.
- Comment on Backblaze is slow for Nextcloud. Any recommendations for faster s3 compatible storage? 6 days ago:
There are sooo many S3 providers.
Hetzner is 5 Euro / mo for 1 TB (traffic is extra).
Cloudflare R2 is $15 / mo for 1 TB (traffic is free and they charge per GB so you'd probably pay much less than that). - Comment on Deploying Nextcloud on AWS ECS with Pulumi 1 week ago:
One availability zone is enough. I am not convinced that Aurora is cheaper.
This seems like an ad for pulumi, whatever that is.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 1 week ago:
weeell, maybe more impressive if I'd tested it better weeks ago, but I'll take the W

Fixed now!

- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 1 week ago:
PieFed has a "Hide posts in communities with these words in their name" filter for exactly this scenario.
- Comment on New server sanity check 1 week ago:
Data center servers are a different breed. I got an old one for cheap once and only ran it for a few minutes because it sounded like a jet engine. No way to make that thing efficient.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 weeks ago:
On the face of it, I agree. But 12 jurors who heard the whole story, probably for days or weeks, disagree with that.
- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 2 weeks ago:
Something tells me that Meta's smart glasses won't have a billboard, signage and poster blocking feature....
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 2 weeks ago:
Civ 3 was the first one I played so it sticks in my mind the most, that's all. Any of the Civs would be fine.
I do feel like Civ 3 was a big step up in visual effects, though.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 2 weeks ago:
I've been lurking in threads like this for 2+ years, and coding accordingly.
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 2 weeks ago:
To get the obvious out of the way: Pacman, Doom 2, Starcraft, Simcity 2000, Civ 3. All genre-defining milestones.
Total Annihilation. They're still making sequels today (Supreme Commander, Beyond all Reason).
- Comment on Uptick in inflammatory posts 2 weeks ago:
Leaving the 3 biggest news comms has been one of the best things I've done recently.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Googles knows a LOT more about you than what you watch on YouTube.
- Comment on I'm never going back to Matrix - Terence Eden 2 weeks ago:
piefed.social now has a Zulip server too although the Matrix rooms are still open. Seems like the tide is going out on Matrix though.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Also Terrorgram.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 3 weeks ago:
If that's been their goal for decades then there would be something written down to that effect. Policy statements, press releases, meeting minutes.... Got anything?
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 weeks ago:
Some admins really love watching who votes for what and banning people based on that.
You can disagree with that if you like but if it means they get pissed enough to defederate your whole instance, you lose.
If your instance is just you and a handful of others, no one will notice or care. But once you have 1000 users the amount of anonymous votes will be noticed and there will be consequences. Maybe not defederation but everyone banned for upvoting bigoted content will migrate to your instance and you'll be hosting the biggest shitbirds around.
I don't see a solution to this. As long as lemmy and mbin let admins snoop on people's votes that will be the dynamic and PieFed puts itself at a disadvantage by doing anything different.

This only effects about 3.5% of accounts.

The -10 can be changed in your settings. Set it to -1000 to show everything :)
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 weeks ago:
That's how it used to work but I got rid of it because there were too many unintended side-effects. Now a private vote is just one that is not federated.
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 weeks ago:
Private votes are just normal votes except without the federation. So their effect is only felt on the local instance.
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 weeks ago:
I wrote that code. It can be turned off or on by the instance admin. When an instance is created It's off by default.
Originally, when I wrote the feature comparison page, it could not be turned off.
- Comment on What is piefed? 3 weeks ago:
It's on the 3 dot menu on every post.
Makes sense to have it on the community too, tho. I'll find a place for it.
- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 3 weeks ago:
Imagine a junior dev called "Big Balls" starting up Claude Code and telling it "Hey I need you to make this app great, remove all unnecessary code" and then just accepting whatever it proposes.
Literally vibe coding a country.
