- Comment on Windows 11 will reportedly display a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements. 3 weeks ago:
No it won’t. That’s such a stupid thing to write about. I don’t remember tomshardware being this clickbaity.
- Comment on Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu 4 weeks ago:
I agree in general, but would like to point out that it is possible to escape. Not completely, but I have managed to set up an environment where it’s mostly fine. And by mostly fine I mean not perferct, but using somebody else’s device makes my eye twitch.

I think this is a /c/whoosh moment
- Comment on Google’s expanded Find My Device network might arrive in a few days 1 month ago:
Yea, these stats don’t feel right - no way US is only 57%.
- Comment on Google’s expanded Find My Device network might arrive in a few days 1 month ago:
Technically, I guess. Any country that’s not US will do.
- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 2 months ago:
I don’t have your requirements, but nextcloud with Memories works well enough for me. Nextcloud does the file things, including auto upload from phones. Memories then displays those photos.

Never had the chance to seriously look into libressl. Do you think it would work fine if most of the world was running it rather than openssl?
- Comment on _Real_ gaming router - GTA Vice City on a TP-Link router 2 months ago:
I think this is a fruit of the labour that was done by some guy reverse engineering gta vc. It got shut down by rockstar, but the source was public, so it lives on.
- Comment on I don't think this needs explaining 2 months ago:
This has summoned a true feeling of disgust from deep within.

Ah, my bad.

Higher quality video comes chaptered most of the time, I use that to skip the intro fairly reliably. No need for plex pass!
- Comment on How do you manage your server files? 2 months ago:
NFS comes to mind, naturally.
I remember some years ago scp had a big issue, can’t recall what, though. But that made me have a look at rsync, and I’ve been using that ever since. Flags are a bit atteocious, but I’ve aliases
rsync -avz status=progress
tocopy
and it’s been happy days. One other benefit - incremental copy. Helps in cases where a copy procedure had been stopped for whatever reason. - Comment on Cummins Diesel Cheats Emissions Tests - Fined $1.6B by US 2 months ago:
I’m genuinely curious how they’re pulling this off. Is it called something entirely innocent internally? Like “emissions controller” or something?
- Comment on More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities 2 months ago:
I know sdf had issues with media storage before, but that was late last year/early this one. There’s noy been an update to lemmy in the week that you’ve joined.
Also - welcome aboard!

Sort of. If you check the url of thumbnail images - they’ll all be from your local instance.
Some images are also federated. Take this post, for example. The link is to lemmy.world, but the thumbnail and image itself are served by lemmy.cafe.
I’ve never really delved into what exactly decides whether to federate a particular bit of content or not, but there’s definitely more than just text being stored.

Simple things. Lemmy, for instance, has grown to ~60GB since June las year. And that’s just the db and federated media since I don’t really havr any uploads. The big instancea are easily into the hundreds od gigs - I know lemmy.ca had over 300GB of media alone last autumn.
On a more consumer level - high quality 4k media eats up storage pretty fast. The phones taking pictures and video in higher and higher quality - space requirements will only ever go up.

Wouldn’t mind some help adding more content!
- Comment on Ray tracing made possible on 42-year-old ZX Spectrum: 'reasonably fast, if you consider 17 hours per frame to be reasonably fast' 3 months ago:
Say you generated 86’400’000 frames. 17h a frame that’s roughly 16’767 years.
- Comment on 23andMe’s fall from $6 billion to nearly $0 — a valuation collapse of 98% from its peak in 2021 3 months ago:
I think it’s a mobile user. On the web UI you get archive link suggestions automatically as a post creator.
- Comment on GitHub - FriederHannenheim/cthulock: Wayland screen locker focused on customizability 5 months ago:
Would you mind providing any more details on what exactly one can customise? Might give this a shot tomorrow.
- Comment on Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone 5 months ago:
You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude.
30 * 0.1Wh = 3Wh
- Comment on Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone 5 months ago:
Bullshit. It has to be way more than that.
As stated above, our study focuses on the inference (i.e. deployment) stage in the model life cycle,
And this is why.

The problem is real, but god damn this website is awful. Even with uBlock.

You could just have a dedicated backup user that is in all the groups of you docker volumes.

Ironic you used lemm.ee account to talk about LW :)
- Comment on Recommendation and info airtags for android 8 months ago:
Find my phone works by thr phone itself checking in. Airtags are passive - they’re being tracked by all the iphones in range.
- Comment on "Uninstall survey" after uninstall an app - how is that possible? 8 months ago:
Warning - precision guesswork ahead.
In computer programming there’s a concept of a hook - do something before or after an event. It very well might be that “uninstall” event has hooks and one of them is “open this website after it’s done”.
