I sure hope LLMs are not used to develop Lemmy currently. Haven’t checked in a while, maybe I should do 🤔

But why a new Discord server? 🤦

Despite what some other people falsely claim here in the comments, scraping is actually not the same at all as federation. Besides not being reciprocal, scraping puts considerably higher load on the server to the point where it brings down entire servers or at least severely degrades the performance for legitimate users.

Opensense is based on BSD, which has a single threaded network stack. This means that low end CPUs can struggle to do >1gbit throughputs. Depending on your WAN this could be an issue.

The speed of the CPU is entirely irrelevant to what I wrote 🤷

Maybe you have a smart-TV that is abused as a residential proxy? Many apps sell this to AI scrapers instead of or in addition to showing you ads.

Are you using a shady VPN or so? It is very unlikely that lemmy.ml defaults to difficulty 6 for all visitors. There is likely something that makes your connection look shady so that you get pre-sorted to the bad pile.

Why would I follow a feed of what appears to be made of pictures that are mostly AI slop?

Sure, but the point of getting a mini-pc is usually not that you have an open case with a second ATX PSU sitting on top to power some extra hardrives.

How will you power the drives?

And from what I have heard, these m2 to SATA adapters have over-heating issues.

You mean “mid” as in midi-tower? Because that sounds like the large version. Well maybe there is an even larger workstation version or so, but the normal medium sized Optiplex comes with one 3.5" SATA bay and one DVD drive.

Optiplex etc. with an Intel 8th gen “T” chips seem to offer the best bang for the buck + energy efficiency on the second hand market right now.

The main issue with these thin clients is the lack of SATA ports and power connections for them if you want to add some larger 2.5” SSD/HDD storage. Usually it is only one, but you can also use the DVD drive slot with an adapter in the mid sized versions.

What is probably needed is a 3rd party vouching account system. A bit like how email accounts are used today, but with a back-channel that allow you to get reputation from the places you join with that account and that in turn makes it easier to join other places.

The 80% LLM applications doesn’t seem to have reached Lemmy yet. For us it is more like 10% or so. But yeah, it is getting harder to distinguish these.

Veloren

Why does the “brick” look like a soapbar though 🤔

The specific chip is only 4 years or so old. The 10 years refers to the Ryzen series first release.

Why this specific chip? It is the fastest available for the older AM4 socket + DDR4 combination, so it is highly sought after by people upgrading their older rig without having to buy new expensive DDR5 RAM or a new mainboard.

There used to be a women’s space on slrpnk.net (although a bit unfortunately named after a controversial Reddit community), but we could never really find women willing to moderate it longer term and the amount of dudes showing up with trollish comments became a bit too much for us admins to handle.

Thanks for sharing the details 👍

Afaik that was mentioned as the plan in the Euro-office announcement post, but OnlyOffice has been designed for maximum compatibility with the Microsoft formats and .odf support is only an afterthough.
