Because you usually don’t want to do automatic upgrades across major versions. There is a “latest” equivalent for each major version release though.

Install a newer Linux distro on it and run a Luanti server for the kids to play on.

I am not sure if Loops mirrors content like that, but probably not (since video content is much larger).

Mastodon for example does mirror images, but it only really lowers the bandwidth use from users on your instance, hence a single user instance causes the same miniscule one time download of the image as a single client connected to the original instance.

Overall if you want to help the Fediverse network with load balancing you need to take on additional users on your instance, with all the responsibilities that entails.

Single user instance are nice for other reason like data ownership and being able to decide your own defederation policies and such.

No, just the accounts are integrated, not the UI. It wouldn’t be a huge issue to add some basic webclient to the UI, but I don’t think anyone would use that when there are much better dedicated clients.

Please close that case properly 😭

I have been experimentally hosting it a bit and it seems like nice software. But I kinda lack a usecase for it… which is I guess common for 3D printing stuff 😅

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.
