AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Insurance can totally refuse future medical care until the implant is removed, especially if leaving it in poses a serious risk. Perfectly valid way to get her to have it removed without physically forcing someone to undergo surgery.

Maybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

What’s the point of this game, beyond letting them harvest user data to sell to data brokers? It doesn’t seem like this really integrates with Pokemon Go or the Switch games as far as syncing Pokemons between them, and anyone that actually cares about sleep tracking would be using their phone’s built-in health app or they’d have some top-rated sleep tracker from the app stores.

If it let you move Switch Pokemon over to be a day-care type thing while you sleep I could kinda see it having some use, but otherwise this just seems like shovelware with a Pokemon theme.

Article suggests you simply get blocked from watching additional videos. But there’s no info on how that works- is it account based? IP based? Can I wipe my YouTube cookies to bypass a block?

Lol. Guess it’s time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.

Apollo going away was the catalyst for me. I will never use Reddit’s garbage website or first-party app.

Plus Lemmy gave me an excuse to host another neat service and still waste the same time I did on Reddit.

I tend to spend way too much on electronics. Constant PC upgrades, new disks for my NAS, better monitors, etc. I do at least allocate a monthly budget for this, but go over it sometimes…

Food delivery is another high category for me, and I’ve been trying to cut back, but it’s soooooo convenient.

The LemmyImporter repo expects you to already have all your post data in a json file- it has a link in the readme to a Lemmygrad.ml comment with a Python script. Seems like it would do exactly what I want, if Pushshift was working. I may be able to fiddle with it enough over the weekend to hit Reddit directly, though.

Yeah that’s definitely what I want, anything cloned over here would ideally have both author attribution and a direct link to the original Reddit post at the very top of each post.

I’ve got most of the channels I sub to tracked by yt-dl so it all gets pulled to my nas. If Youtube starts forcing ads I’ll just put some effort into getting things categorized properly into Plex and ditch their site.

Doesn’t bother me if subreddits don’t want to protest. The whole point of an online community is that you can have groups with different opinions, needs, etc. Nobody is forcing them to go dark.

I’ve been running on All - New to get a feed of everything currently indexed on my instance. Active seems to be moving pretty slowly, so I probably need to go index a bunch more communities.

You can search issues without being logged in, but that setting has to be enabled in a repo or group’s permissions (Settings > General > Visibility, project features, permissions). Project visibility has to be Public, and issues should be set to Everyone with Access. I think tissues are defaulted to private or internal by default.

Yes it should run perfectly fine on a Pi, at least for a small instance. You will need to get ports forwarded or setup a reverse proxy if hosting at home, since you’ll need to generate a valid SSL cert (i.e. Letsencrypt) to be able to connect to the federation

The distributed nature of Lemmy should make things more manageable. Personally, I’m running an instance on a dedicated machine I already pay for, so it’s not costing me anything unless storage skyrockets. Many other instance hosts are also hobbyists that don’t mind covering the costs, and may take some form of donations locally on their sidebars.

There probably should be a built-in feature for instance admins to enable a local donation button to contribute to their costs, though. While Lemmy is fairly resource-efficient, larger instances are eventually going to require pretty beefy VMs to keep up with the traffic, image uploads, etc. I could see some instances randomly vanishing when their owners can’t/don’t keep up with their bills (which would force users over to other instances), but ideally if any instance owners can’t afford to cover it, they hand control over to another community member to pick it up.

Yeah, I had 13 years on reddit so it was a nice run. Seems like every online platform dies at some point, so it was going to happen sooner or later.

Gitlab’s a great alternative too, it’s definitely more resource intensive than Gitea but their community edition is packed with features. A federated Git platform sounds intriguing…

Search is the one thing Lemmy needs to focus on right away, current search sucks and will run off lots of Reddit refugees their first day.

As of right now, a user in your instance has to search and/or sub to a community from another instance before it gets indexed. You could make some dummy account and sub to hundreds of remote communities so they’re locally indexed without having to sub to them on your main account, but that’s pretty time consuming and still not a great solution.

Hate to see reddit die like this, but Lemmy does feel like a suitable alternative, and I’m glad I switched over. Hopefully we see a lot more users move over as subreddits go dark.
