I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.

The pricing scheme here is designed to gouge businesses for equal or more than the traditional non-cloud equivalent. Which happens to be completely unaffordable. Imagine buying a new enterprise grade server for your home setup.

So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!

This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.

At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.

Monopoly busting. Ecosystem lock-in. Right to repair. Software patent reform. Privacy and AI regulation.

What do lawmakers even do these days anyway?

Resume field would get an api endpoint that only returns a json resume, and only if the request header is application/json. And the json resume would have embedded json.

We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

I mean, yea. Happy to have AI as a player in the free market, the problem is that it requires a $0 salary so, kind of unbeatable as far as capitalism is concerned.

Why pay $1 to make $2, when you can pay $0 to make any number over zero? It scales infinitely, unlike the planets resources or human tolerance.

DAE feel like they woke up one day recently and “AI” suddenly has the answer to EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM EVER? Yet, nothing is getting noticeably better?

“AI” doesn’t have to work a dead end job to feed its family, or turn to alcohol because it’s lonely and scared of being forgotten. It’s training data is a curated version of the human experience based on the Internet!

It’s playing human instead of being human and ALL of its solutions will assume that’s “normal.”

Imagine a five star general googling “should I attack this country?” That’s silly right? Well that’s what’s happening. It’s just being wrapped in a way that makes it look novel.

These are algorithms designed to mimic humans. When faced with any actual controversy they must be persuaded to answer in an “acceptable” and predetermined manner.

The golden rule.

Someone with a degree weigh in here. All these big tech companies are buying 100% sustainable energy, reducing their carbon footprint YOY, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference on global GHG.

What accounts for the increase? Purely population increase plus consumption?

It does make sense. I wonder if the admins checked to see how many users (were) subscribed to nsfw? Not that a subscription equals a content consumer, but it’s a strong indicator.

Possibly. Power is just representing others via. their trust in you. Trust can be earned, purchased, or stolen.

I don’t think the blahaj admins bought their users off. I also don’t think they oppress them. I can only reasonably conclude their doing what they think is right.

If the users agree, stay on the instance, and are happy there’s not really any discussion to be had.

I like the instance and it sucks to see it defederate period. I can’t really say what reasons are right or wrong universally, except for criminal stuff. IMO.

Slaps roof: “It’s our Lemmy Certified Quality Discussion©️Guarantee!” : “You won’t always like the conversation.”

long pause

Customer: “but?”

Slapper: “But what?”

Customer: “You won’t always like the conversation, but…”

Slapper: “Oh! No, that’s it’s. That’s the guarantee.”

 

v.0.0.6

v0.0.4 - Per requests and concerns: Defaults changed and options added to prevent overloading servers, hitting rate-limiting, filtering to top x communities, etc!

Thanks for your support!

 

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances.

This is the similar to Lemmy Community Seeder but is designed to be run periodically to capture new communities, and include EVERYTHING by default.

EDIT: As noted in the comments, this is an admin tool. Please do not run it as a user if you don't know what you are doing. If you want a better "All," ask your admin first! That said, lemmony in no way constitutes abuse! You can cause a DOS with curl, but that's not what curl was written for. This tool is to legitimately use an API to enhance our experience. Admins that desire to accommodate high volume on a public service will not know this tool is running against, or on their instances. If it causes performance issues, that is unfortunate. They are free to throttle, ban or block API access to their instance in a multitude of ways.

EDIT 2: Donate to your instance/admin if you like Lemmy!

Federation Lag-o-meter (aftershock.lemmy.management)
 

I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!
