The use of “self-hosting” is a little confusing here. To be clear, he wasn’t self-hosting his video. It was published on YouTube, and the guidelines and procedures in question are Google’s.

Edit: I’m not defending Google’s actions. It’s just that the title gave the impression that a video he had self-hosted was somehow subject to “community guidelines”, which didn’t make sense.

Edit 2: Ten downvotes in less than an hour, on a clarification comment? Wow. I’m disappointed to see that level of targeted negativity here. What rotten behavior. :(

As Lemmy is federated but not fully decentralised, continuation of communities hosted on a dead instance is not currently possible. (Compare this to Matrix, where a room can carry on even if its original homeserver dies, so long as at least one other homeserver participates in it.)

So that is indeed still a problem here, although not as severe, because I think the posts in those communities will still be available on instances that participated in them. Such communities would be forever frozen, though; carrying on from where they left off would require migrating to (or creating) communities on still-running instances.

Lemmy does allow you to export your own data and import it into another instance. That includes settings, subscriptions, and links to saved posts/comments. So I guess maybe you could save your own posts, export your data, and import it elsewhere to keep links to what you wrote on the dying instance. I have not tested this to be sure.

human brains are weirdos.

Truer words were never said. :)

the reason people post pictures of text is to give proper attribution, but also to distance themselves from the content,

If only we had some way to reference an original source. Something like a figurative link, if you will.

I haven’t been following Reddit events since I left a couple years ago, but if there have been recent ban waves for bad behaviour, it wouldn’t surprise me to see corresponding upticks in it here.

I wish more of us spoke up against rudeness, confidently incorrect ignorance, combativeness, tribalism, brigading, and other such stuff when it rears its head here. If all of us participated in moderation, I suspect it would be more effective and make our mods’ lives easier.

If only there was a way to copy text, and then paste it someplace else. Sigh… unsolved problems.

0. Getting users to post text instead of screenshots of text.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

There are also bluetooth adapters that plug directly into those older iPods’ accessory port (the slot on the bottom) instead of the headphone jack.

The main benefit of the one I used was being compact, with no wires. The main drawback was having to remove the adapter to charge the iPod. I guess a model with a USB charging cable might exist.

Yes, that’s part of the ecosystem. :)

I attribute Java’s uptake to a large amount of marketing and support, which led to a massive ecosystem. Even a mediocre language like this one can find success when propped up like that.

Is Incus the community-maintained fork of LXD, post-takeover by Canonical?

This is a huge win for the open source community!!

The headline alone? No, I don’t think so, because AMD’s driver had a reputation for working in some situations (mostly non-gaming IIRC) where Mesa didn’t.

However, this bit quoted from the release notes might make up for it:

“The Mesa Vulkan driver will be officially supported, along with Mesa OpenGL and Multimedia support.”

Assuming they mean that AMD will work with Mesa to get the remaining edge cases fixed, so that the proprietary driver is no longer needed at all, this does seem like good news.

and potentially to watch US citizens as well

Anyone who thinks this is not being used on US citizens is incredibly naïve.

At least one of the named routers (RT-AC3100) is supported by OpenWRT, which generally has a better security track record than stock firmware.

It would be interesting to see the annual global power consumption from design choices like this.

You’re not asking too much. In a text forum like this one, at least a brief summary or minimal discussion really ought to accompany any video-only post that lacks obvious importance to most readers.

The normalisation of constant surveillance makes me want to vomit.

This is outstanding work. Putting one together looks far from trivial, though. I wonder if the creator will make pre-built boards available for sale.
