Might be true, honestly. I'm on NixOS using the proprietary drivers for my 3080 and 4090. No issues, took one line of configuration. I do have to stay on X11 unfortunately until Wayland supports the real drivers at least (though i hear that's being worked on, maybe already working?).

For all of NixOS' pain, it really does make some things awesome and simple.

Do you use mod.rs, the module name, or does it vary? How do you decide? in c/rust@programming.dev

I did that at work and people had a heart attack lol. Which i thought was silly because the mod literally had no code in it besides module file declarations. /shrug

PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Yea, i'm working on my own Fedi software and i'm struggling with the point of boosting in the link aggregator context. It's an odd overlap with Reddit-style reposting to appropriate subs, but based on the user.

It makes sense in the Twitter UX, but i struggle to find it's place in the Reddit UX.

non-stickied PSA: Beehaw has signed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact in c/chat@beehaw.org

Yea, i'm not sure how much benefit of doubt we should be handing Mark Zuck of all people. There's few people in the world who make their intentions more clear than him. Not that i'm trying to paint him as evil, i'm not and i don't think he is, but i also see no reason to expect self-run instances to offer an olive branch to him.

We should be vary paranoid about Embrace Extend Extinguish in these communities.

How do server upkeep costs look like for fediverse stuff? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] UnshavedYak@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on mastodon.art and donate $1/m, same story. It's only a handful of people that donate (hundreds, but still - much smaller than the thousands of users) and we cover the bill.

Though, this is also why i'm experimenting with custom Fediverse instance software that prioritizes low cost operation. I think Fedi would be better off if it wasn't a huge lift to figure out hosting. There's enough challenges in hosting instances, it would be nice to reduce as many as possible.

YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Oh, i actually didn't know Kbin (despite these posts lol) was being seen from Lemmy. Iirc when i first saw Kbin a few days ago, Kbin could see Lemmy but Lemmy couldn't see Kbin. Ie it's like it was a partial federation.

I'm curious on if that was accurate and if it was, what caused it in a technical sense. Given i'm a dev working on some ActivityPub stuff, i'm quite interested in it. Though i've not yet used the spec, clearly hah.
