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.

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 😅

Funny how you first ignore Wikipedia when it doesn’t fit your propaganda story and now claim it as a source 😅

Let me introduce you to this.

Hey kiddo, stop listening to PRC propaganda 🤦

Threatening to attack and occupy their self-ruled neighbors is pretty much the textbook definition of imperialist 🤦

People can have one opinion and still prefer to vote against it given the likely consequence of the imperialist neighbor attacking them 🤷

Lol, what are you even talking about? Since 20 years the opinion polls are clear: The majority of the people living in Taiwan consider themselves Taiwanese. There is a somewhat large minority that considers themselves both Taiwanese and Chinese, but when asked to choose between the two the people of Taiwan overwhelmingly (like 90%) prefer to call themselves Taiwanese.

Edit: but it looks like I am replying to a fresh Tankie sockpuppet account, so I guess no need to bother 🤦

I am referring to the opinion of the current inhabitants of Taiwan as expressed in opinion polls.

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.

No, that is only the official line due to history and political pressure from China.

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.

That’s very much part of the experience you seem to crave /s
