“This sentence is a lie” sounds false but is actually true. I think?

yamapikariya , to linux in Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
@yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com avatar

For some reason I find stock GNOME UIs appealing

Sekrayray OP , to showerthoughts in The dominance of cat content VS dog content on Lemmy reflects its current techie userbase

Really interesting thought.

I had thought about this earlier but I remember looking up a statistic of dog ownership in the US by year, and it hasn’t changed that much over time. But anecdotally it seems like a ton of young couples have way more dogs than they did when I (a millennial) was growing up. I wish they had dog ownership by age or family composition

whynotzoidberg , to asklemmy in Any Nostr ppl here?

You forgot to talk about crypto in your post.

Seriously, it’s like the Crypto Corral over there. At least last I checked.

JoeClu OP ,
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know what a Crypto Corral is. Do you mean it’s mostly crypto interested people? A few others have said it’s where right wingers hang out. Are right wingers crypto people? I’ve no idea.

whynotzoidberg ,

I think you can find extremists on all platforms. But the thing that really turned me off is that 9/10 posts had to do with crypto. It’s just not my bag, and the folks on Nostr embrace it (even the platform itself, allowing bitcoin payments over the lightning network).

@simple@lemmy.world avatar

Great stuff. I didn’t expect Meta of all people to be leading open source LLMs, hopefully now companies will invest into making Llama models that are actually competitive.

DrDeadCrash ,

My impression is that meta is behind, and so they’re looking for help from the open source community. It’s not a bad deal, really.

gballantine , to selfhosted in Is it considered bad practice to expose selfhosted services on public internet?
@gballantine@lemmy.bitgoblin.tech avatar

It’s not bad per se, but you really just need to understand the risks involved and have an idea of how to secure your services properly. I personally won’t expose anything if it doesn’t have some sort of centralized auth solution (LDAP preferred) and 2FA to better secure accounts.

It’s also good practice to have some way of mitigating brute-force attacks with something like fail2ban, and a way to outright block known bad IP addresses.

palitu , to nostupidquestions in Is Mr Beast a good person?

It would be good to know. But then Austin does it matter? There are plenty of terrible celebrities, as long as they are putting out decent role modelling for the kids, they get to keep their private life

mihnt , to warframe in Warframe in Linux/Proton?
@mihnt@kbin.social avatar

I just made the full switch to Linux myself and was playing Waframe heavily when I made the switch. Game runs better on Linux with my hardware. (Ryzen 5 3600, RX 6650 XT 8GB, 16GB RAM) My biggest issue was mouse sensitivity. Way too sensitive and ended up having to turn it down a lot.

For the record though I'm the happiest I've been using my desktop in years. Mass Effect Legendary Edition runs so smoothly it's like it is native run. It's amazing. Waited 20+ years for this.

freeman , to selfhosted in What are your backup solutions?

I have an old synology DS1513+

it runs Active Backup for business and Active backup for google workspace, as well as an AFP share for Apple machines. This is about 95% of all backups. Those backup archive files are then ALSO backed up to one of two large 14TB hdds. I swap them out monthly (or thereabout) and keep the spare at my office or in my firesafe when at home.

I have a couple other things out there too. A small SSh box to handle some scripting of config file backups etc. My main synology 1815+ also has a cloud sync up to backblaze that happens in realtime, but only keeps 1 copy of stuff as well as a hyperbackup job for super important stuff up to Backblaze, in addition to the nightly backups to the 1513+. This way if my house burns down I still have something (and likely a full copy with the 14TB HDD)

LiquorFan , to linux in why did you switch?

Windows 10 sounded like shit, and Windows 7 stopped being supported.

I had some experience with Linux, most things seemed to work and for the rest I decided that it wasn’t worth the hassle of dealing with Microsoft.

MajinBlayze , to selfhosted in Help! Instance syncronizing in a very weird way

ActivityPub appears to be very “eventually consistent” by design. There’s no guarantee that any given post or comment gets federated to you within a particular period of time.

boblemmy , to selfhosted in What are your backup solutions?

my solution is syncthing

New_User8 , to gaming in Looking for a casual game that I can quickly pick up or put down

Bloons Tower Defense 6 is easy to get into and also can return to the level if you quit out.

@Skray@kbin.social avatar

Might as well open a Roth IRA and start contributing to an index fund like VTI or VOO.

Long term stable growth and tax beneficial. The earlier you start saving for retirement the better, compound growth is very powerful.

Bilbyton , to nostupidquestions in Does anyone use Bing for their search engine?

I’d say it’s changing very quickly due to ai. Otherwise it wasn’t any good
