Given the memory optimization mentioned in the text, it looks a bit like there will be a 8GB ram version of the Steam Frame. Makes sense really, as it will make it significantly cheaper and for people mostly using it to stream from their main PC it shouldn’t matter much.

Yes, but afaik the temperature reading is also on the flash itself. On Samsung nvme drives you even get two different temperature readings to differentiate it if I recall correctly.

I ran into similar issues before, but adding a passive cooler brought the temperatures down sufficiently.

However when researching the issue there were several people that claimed that ~70° C is actually the design temperature for these SSDs, which would explain why they usually don’t come with a cooler.

This is not a cultural failing that can be fixed by asking people to be nicer, which was roughly Scott Jenson’s prescription. Nor is it resolved by pointing to the protocol’s openness, which was roughly the community’s response. Neither prescription reaches the actual problem, because Mastodon’s governance tools sit at the instance level and the community’s experience happens at the federation level. Mastodon was built as open infrastructure at the federation level and community at the instance level. The Jenson thread demonstrates that the community has long since reversed this: they experience the federation as their community, and the instance as an administrative detail. The software has not caught up, and until it does, the community will keep enforcing its boundaries the only way the federation layer allows: person by person, reply by reply.

Thoughtful article overall, but I think what is describes is a design problem of Twitter like micro-blogging. There really is only a void to shout into, and I don’t really see how software can catch up to anything there. I also don’t really understand how this problem is specific to the Fediverse/Mastodon, with even the pre-Elon Twitter being famously toxic for very similar reasons.

Lemmy and other “community” based Fediverse software has much less of this problem, because there is a venue i.e a community to post into which has a theme, rules and moderators.

Not too many 8 port managed switches out there with an sfp+ 10gbe port for 50 bucks

Easy to get these days actually, with 10gbit sfp+ and 8x 2.5gbit, managed switches. About $60.

But my actual argument was that your 48 port switch eats electricity like crazy. That aint a cheap switch at all.

But you seem to only need a 8 port at most 🤯

Way too professional looking for this thread.

Also, you got a link to that sticker? Maybe I’ll add that as an ironic reminder to my “Kabelsalat” 😅

That 95% unused switch 😱

Such electricity waste. Much unclean.

I do not have any insights into the Reticulum community, but this recently came accross my feed: https://codeberg.org/Lew_Palm/leviculum

That’s very much part of the experience you seem to crave /s

Hmm, odd that this one has 84V output. That’s AFAIK beyond the typical 48V battery charging voltage.

The problem with converting back and forth is both efficiency and that you need a seperate buffer battery (or at least super-capacitor).

IMHO, maybe the best idea is to just buy a so called balcony solar kit to feed into your regular home power circut and then charge as usual from a regular outlet.

63V DC output 🤔

Not hundert percent sure, but you are probably dealing with a nominally 48V battery pack.

Instead of converting back and forth DC/AC/DC, I would look for a solar charge controller that can charge 48V Li-ion battery packs.

The only problem might be finding a suitable plug if you don’t want to cut it off your existing charger.

You could also use them with https://www.filestash.app/ for example, but you still need something to actually store the files.

And Fediverse instances are similar. But that only works when you know what a car actually is.

Yes, as I said 🤷

When building you own servers from consumer hardware this is a bit difficult, but getting a PSU that actually fits to the power use profile of the server seems to make a difference. Sadly it is hard to get small PSUs with sufficient SATA power connections.

Sadly this. I have a graveyard of nice server boards that I got cheap before realizing how power hungry they are.

For CPUs basically anything older than gen 6 intel is too power hungry (although be careful with Xeon and xeon derived cpus, that are sometimes older gens rebadged as gen 6).

You sound a bit like someone who demands to be explained what a car is when entering a car shop 😅

Probably not, as the compatibility for Mastodon api using apps is experimental and not included at all in Misskey itself.

But if you want to host a server for a specific community that would apprechiate the more playful features of it, it is definitly a good alternative.

Works here 🤷
