- Comment on Why Decentralized Social Media Matters 11 hours ago:
I’m not used to shitposting being called “content creation” but whatever.
- Comment on Is there a quick way to know which instance might need mods? 1 day ago:
Lemm.ee is shutting down from lack of admins, apparently.
- Comment on How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level? 3 days ago:
Just be nice, say your romantic feelings are getting to you too much and that you want to back off if you can’t purshe them. Staying open to occasional contact (like by email) is a lot better than cutting the person off completely.
Getting involved with someone with serious mental health issues doesn’t sound like a great idea either, if they’re not under some reasonable level of control.
- Comment on Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet 4 days ago:
Just use a sip phone app on your mobile. I use Linphone but there are lots of them.
- Comment on Is there a more convenient way to do this? 5 days ago:
Just pick up a little bit of French and then when you meet them, you can get by with a mixture of Frenglish, gesturing, cross-language dictionaries, and help from Domenic.
- Comment on Ansible sounds interesting 6 days ago:
I use it to initialize new VPS with my usual setup, but it might be easier to use a container format. I think Ansible itself has become a bit unfashionable since I started using it. I don’t know what is cool instead now. It was Saltstack for a while but idk how long that lasted. Ansible is working mostly ok for me so I’ve stayed with it, til whenever.
- Comment on Jacques Ellul's The Technological Society: How Efficiency Becomes the Master 6 days ago:
Worth mentioning, this book was written in 1954. Full text is online, find by web search.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Book was published in 1954. I hadn’t heard of it previously. Based on the video blurb, the longwinded but interesting article “Meditations on Moloch” by Scott Alexander might also be of interest.
- Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services 1 week ago:
Yes, that too. I hadn’t even thought about trying to send email from a home ISP. Everyone knows you basically can’t. I thought the idea was to receive email rather than send it, so you wouldn’t be relying on some bigtech company to store it for you.
- Comment on ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services 1 week ago:
I think there are still enough v4-only systems out there that you don’t really want to host a mail server on v6. You are right though that it would be nice to be able to get static v6 (or for that matter v4) addresses from home isp’s. Some do offer that of course.
Another issue can be that the average home internet user has no idea keep even a client system secure. So ISP’s might use NAT and default firewall configurations partly to stop incoming connections on the theory that they are likely to be malicious. On home routers you can usually open ports if you know what you’re doing. I don’t know if that’s even possible on mobile phones.
- Comment on IPv6 for self hosters 1 week ago:
This looks like some kind of weird AI slop, sorry.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 1 week ago:
I’ve never used Discord – is it similar to Mumble? I tried Jami but found it too unreliable to recommend.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 1 week ago:
I’m on lemmy.ml, it uses JS but it doesn’t appear to load any from other domains. It serves images through a local proxy.
- Comment on Keep the Future Human: How Unchecked Development of Smarter-Than-Human, Autonomous, General-Purpose AI Systems Will Almost Inevitably Lead to Human Replacement. But it Doesn't Have to. 1 week ago:
ifanyonebuildsit.com argues the opposite. It’s not out yet though.
- Comment on Where on the internet would you discuss a specific case of a potential exploitation of a minor within the adult industry"? 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t feel any need to discuss something like that in public. If I felt reasonably convinced that someone was being abused, I’d probably flag the FBI. Otherwise if you insist, I’m sure there there are pr0n forums. In fact Lemmy has an NSFW instance lemmynsfw.com. Stuff from there keeps showing up on lemmy.world’s front page.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 week ago:
No idea about clogging differences, but the toilet drain sometimes goes to a different sewer system than the sink drain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer
- Comment on Fight together, so fight gets better 1 week ago:
I mean, nobody is going to arrest you for posting it, and I’m sure it’s well intended, but it’s unlikely to get any traction here.
- Comment on Fight together, so fight gets better 1 week ago:
Please read the whole text before commenting.
You must be kidding. A scroll-through and peek at the contents shows that it’s at best in the wrong place. Plus way too long for most readers’ eyeballs to not fall out.
- Comment on The last note taking app you'll ever need 2 weeks ago:
Are there not already about a zillion of these?
- Comment on Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator? 2 weeks ago:
For text generation the result would be almost useless since most public domain works are very old. For images, you could train with video feeds maybe.
- Comment on Questions about selfhosting Git, and making some small scratch on the side. 2 weeks ago:
Gitlab is monstrous bloat, gogs and descendants run fine on small cheap vps.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
If you mean those find-me gizmos, they are bluetooth, not NFC.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Too janky, too much JS crap on the website, appears to be closed source, no obvious self hosting option, meh. No I couldn’t imagine using or recommending it. Sorry.
- Comment on In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors? 2 weeks ago:
In indoor crowded spaces, CO2 is often 2000 ppm or higher (background is now around 450). We might notice but just deal with it. In the past that meant getting sleepy at a lecture or that sort of thing, but today I’d consider it risky. I still wear an N95 mask whenever I’m in a public indoor space.
- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 2 weeks ago:
- there are plenty of shy or anxious people in the US too!
- as you say, being outgoing is a skill. 21 is an awkward and transitional age where you’re still finding out things about yourself. As you get more comfortable it can get easier to talk to other people too.
- Comment on In the U.S., are all voting booth areas required to have carbon monoxide detectors? 2 weeks ago:
CO comes from incomplete combustion and you’d usually only have detectors for it around gas heaters, generators, stuff like that. Maybe you meant carbon dioxide (CO2). I don’t remember ever seeing one around a voting booth. I’d consider them a good idea though, not because CO2 poisoning is a serious concern per se, but because high CO2 means that you’re breathing air that other people exhaled, increasing your exposure to airborne pathogens.
- Comment on How would you rank the millennium prize problems based on difficulty of understanding it? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say P vs NP is the easiest, Riemann hypothesis is understandable in the sense that its statement is not too technical, but understanding why it is important is another matter. NS smoothness is probably understandable to the average math or physics nerd who has seen some PDE’s. The rest require developing more machinery to even state the problems.
- Comment on (i feel really stupid asking, but what the hell!) could i be of french descent? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I can see your future. The good news is you become a starship captain. The bad news is you lose your hair.
- Comment on Does the digestive tract count as a pneumatic propulsion system? 2 weeks ago:
Peristaltic, in fact that’s where the term comes from. You can type “peristaltic pump” into a search engine to see lots of descriptions and diagrams.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It takes a bit of practice. A few minutes of instruction can show you how it works, but then you will want to actually practice (maybe an hour or so) on some quiet roads before driving in traffic.
