Question: Is btrfs's compress-force=zstd compatible with x-systemd.automount? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

All of these are "root" mounts. I don't explicitly mount any subvolumes (they get "implicitly" mounted as folders though)

Question: Is btrfs's compress-force=zstd compatible with x-systemd.automount? (nerdbin.social)
 

I couldn't find any documentation about this anywhere, but it seems like they do NOT work together

running Arch (btw), if that makes any difference

is it likely that embedded videos will ever be a part of the lemmy experience? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Storage space is one issue. Bandwidth (how many TB/mo goes out the server) is another. And for any "serious" use case transcoding would also be important (so you can keep the other two down for everyone except Apple users who are stubborn to adopt VP9/AV1, and to provide multiple quality options), which unlike the other two requires powerful hardware most instances do not have.

It uses WebTorrent for distribution between viewers watching at the same time which can temporarily help with the load on popular videos, but there still needs to be at least one source instance that's sharing the video "regularly" (for unpopular or old stuff), which ends up having the same bandwidth issues you'd get with any other video platform.

TIL: Dark mode causes eye strain in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Light mode only "clicked" for me when I set my monitor's brightness all the way down. If you're getting "flashbanged" turn that brightness down. It helps (or maybe my monitor is just really fucking bright)

Except Discord which somehow manages to have the worst light theme ever created by mankind. I have no idea how anyone can use light mode without going mad. Everything else's fine.

What obscure about:config settings would you recommend changing? in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You have to actually toggle to see it but IMO it massively improves how scrolling feels.

There are a few more scrolling-related options out there on the net if there's a particular "feel" you want to go for. https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js provides a couple you can try out, and most of these custom scrolling options use msdPhysics as a baseline.

Not obscure but general.smoothScroll.msdPhysics.enabled=true is a must have IMO.

What happened to vlemmy.net? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

There are signing keys involved, so if someone puts up a new server but uses different keys then all sorts of federation trouble will await them.

That said it shouldn't affect the general network, just that individual server (both the communities and the users of it)

Edit: As for switching domains on an existing server, that would be equally troublesome as ActivityPub kinda relies on domains for all sorts of IDs.

Is it possible to change lemmy's domain? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It's possible by having the webfinger endpoints at the "root" while keeping the rest of Lemmy on a subdomain. The main thing that determines the domain in your username is webfinger.

No clue if Lemmy or kbin support this config though, but quite a bit of the microblog-only parts of fedi do, and it's a widely used thing.

Anyone hosting Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

jsyk, with how ActivityPub works changing the software that's running from under it will break federation with you in all sorts of subtle ways. When you pick a thing to run under a domain you're effectively locked into running that software under that domain. And of course there is some cryptographic verification as well so you change the keys (or you wipe or forget to back up the database) you may as well burn that domain from federating ever again.

How much swap? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

On a desktop or especially laptop case, it should be equal to (or larger than) your RAM if you use hibernation (as RAM gets copied to swap during hibernation)

On my server, I set it up to be 2GBs, mostly arbitrarily. Right now it's at 500MB, but my main memory is also only 600-800MB full out of the total 4GBs available, so I'm not running out of RAM anytime soon.

Swap behavior seems to have changed a while ago, so consider reading https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html on how it works right now. Hell, even that might be outdated nowadays. Up to date info on how swap works really seems hard to come by.

[–] eh@nerdbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Moreover I also have my swappiness set to 0 because I don’t want stuff swapped out of memory. If I need more memory I need more memory.

I don't think swappiness has worked that way for a while now.

Why are people against big companies joining the fediverse? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eh@nerdbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People aren't against companies, people are against Meta. In the wider fediverse, anyway.

A while back there was talk of Tumblr potentially joining the fediverse, and it was met with neutral to positive reactions. No idea what happened there, maybe they're still working on it, but I do not expect a "fedipact against tumblr" to gain as much steam (if any) when they decide to announce they're ready to flip the ActivityPub switch.

(no idea if my other comment got sent out, this may be a duplicate)
