3 months of running #snac on my main acct with absolutely zero prior hosting experience. I am in awe at just how low the resource use is on the server -- and I'm not going easy on the thing when I use my account lmao.
Hopefully posting this won't expose just how much of a newb I am here but man...
(yes I know I'm on root in the pic. no I don't usually access root when I ssh.)
@inquiline They’d have to be pretty fucken stupid to spam me of all people with Zionist propaganda.

🆕 blog! “Which age-gates should be skill-gates and vice-versa?”
In the UK, it is illegal to buy alcohol if you are under 18.
Similarly, in most countries, you cannot vote until you have reached a specific age.
These are age-gates. You do not need to prove your competence to drink, vote, smoke, or get married; you just need to be old enough.
Some things have…

La réallocation massive de RAM pour l'IA (https://davidoks.blog/p/ai-is-killing-the-cheap-smartphone) va accentuer encore massivement la recentralisation d'Internet, mais la bonne nouvelle, c'est que ça va rendre plus important qu'avant de maintenir en bon état de marche les composants existants (et donc l'occasion).

they want to define me by a few words. cool.
i'd rather be defined by the work:
→ https://fedidb.com, the network database
→ an opt-in people directory at https://fediverse.info/explore/people
→ https://pixelfed.org, the federated instagram
→ https://joinloops.org, the federated TikTok
→ 9 years of making the fediverse better
crazy and outspoken? takes that to break the barriers we're handed.
hate me or love me, i'm still here.

🚨 Hier, sur le poste de secours, j'ai encore vu des intervenants secouristes surélever les jambes de victimes de malaise.
Les légendes ont la vie dure.
C'est pas dans les recommandations, c'est pas un geste de secours, ça n'a pas d'intérêt lors d'un malaise.
A ne pas faire, sauf si un médecin en prend la responsabilité.

RE: https://tech.lgbt/@ngaylinn/116623578121769656
This is a fascinating theory. To translate it to organizational behavior / STS, AI can be a justification for managers, developers, and others to continue the unsustainable cultural/market norm of valuing novelty over maintenance.
(though as we see from security bugfix work, it may also be able to help with that maintenance)

…Importantly from my perspective, Loreco says:
“Loreco is not a blockchain-based currency. Although it uses cryptographic functions to ensure data integrity, its ledger design is completely different from the blockchain approach.”
It goes on to say:
“Various blockchain technologies were considered for the implementation of SuMSy, but ultimately rejected.
…
a blockchain simply becomes a very inefficient distributed database.”
Quite right

…Thing is, digital tech is unmetabolisable on human timescales. So it cannot be sustainable in its current formation.
We’re gonna have to navigate that becoming more and more apparent.
But as we continue to exploit such tech on the path down the power ladder –while it lasts – the very least we can do is not layer in algorithms which are inefficient *by design*
I am now going to have to eat all of it because no one else will touch it. How does one de-vanilla something? Just powering through something with vanilla, garlic powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, smoked salt, mustard and turmeric in it. It's not right.
@TheBreadmonkey
Add enough cayenne and you won't taste anything else.
Thought for the day. If you're going to buy vanilla flavoured oat milk and not tell anyone then put it right next to the other milk, do not be surprised when you get vanilla flavoured scrambled tofu. 👍
@TheBreadmonkey I once made raita with a little packaged cup of yogurt and my youngest child said mom this is the best raita ever and I tasted it and …I used vanilla yogurt. She likes it because it’s sweet. AND now I’ve wasted a vanilla yogurt and have an extra “plain!”

I mean, I dunno, what do you think the world should do for us? Warm us up a glass of milk, give us a big hug, and tell us it's not our fault we elected Discount Hitler? I don't think you would respond that way if another country was literally burning the world to the ground and starving you. You'd rightfully demand someone make us stop.
So... you know, there's gonna be blowback. Obviously. And they probably can't kill Trump, he's building a Hitlerbunker right? So it'll be soft targets.
