It’s hopefully common knowledge, but just in case, Codeberg is running Forgejo. You can host a compatible instance yourself! It’s not that painful.

What’s the process for impeaching a US supreme court justice?

Passwords were a mistake.

That’s quite interesting, thank you! So for an instance to manipulate votes, they’d have to stream a bunch of fake events.

I know nothing about Lemmy’s architecture, but how does my instance tally votes on a post from another instance?

Does it trust that instance? Does it only take into account votes cast on itself? Does it ask every federated instance for their vote totals?

You can get pretty far with a stack of 5090s and llama.cpp with split mode graph (or so I’ve heard, I’ve never tried), or AMD’s unified memory CPU thing.

It’s not as good as data centre grade stuff, but it’s not nothing either.

Same, pretty much. It is possible though, which makes LLMs a more democratic technology than, say, nuclear reactors.

That’s kinda my point. Roads are a useful technology, but they can be used by fascists.

I’m not here to argue for or against LLMs in general, but self-hostable AI is a thing. Actually open AI is a thing.

A blanket statement saying about AI as a whole technology being good for fascism is about as useful as saying “roads are good for fascism” (they’re great for troop movement after all).

Huh, I hadn’t heard about that! Honestly seems useful, and if it’s only the engine, I don’t see how crypto bros are relevant.

If there’s some “pay to unblock” scheme, that’s a different story.

What are they doing with cryptocurrency now?

There’s a proper photo of the tortilla in the article. That grey thing is “unidentified” meat.

Am I misunderstanding, or is this not open source? Looks like you have to pay on ko-fi.

FOSS, by its very nature, does stand up for human rights more than non-FOSS. The developers believe in the user’s right to modify the source, and from that you can make the software more private/secure/etc. Closed source software doesn’t even do that much.

Sure, “the right to modify software” isn’t exactly the most fundamental right, but it isn’t nothing either.

It’s funny how this can both be a freeing thought and a criticism of how one dances.

The article seems to imply the compost was added to both the plants with/without the fungi?

Definitely cheating in the “can we grow plants?” department, but still useful information.

Proposing a fix is better than no fix? I didn’t know it was possible, and now I’m looking into it.

Changing the default is a social issue, so of course it’s more difficult than changing one’s current setting.

What makes a particular oil so good?

They aren’t using git as a database, they’re using it as revision history. The database is whatever they decide to store in git. For crates.io, for example, they use JSON files in directories.

If you put an sqlite database in git, you are wouldn’t say “git is the database”, and that’s true here too.

That said, yeah, you shouldn’t roll your own database. Take your source code (JSON from crates.io) from git, and compile it into an sqlite file (for example) for download.

Is Netflix evil these days?
