‘Successful’ in the very narrow sense that it would be legal to do so. But not successful in actually changing anyone’s politics or the material conditions that give rise to the AfD.

The other day I made a machine learning model that classifies images as either ‘a certain type of undesirable image’ (no, not porn) or ‘any other image’. It is 96.4% accurate and takes 14 ms to classify one image (using CPU only - with a GPU it could be 5x - 10x faster).

I plan to offer this as an API service that social media networks can use to filter posts.

Office 2000 was totally fine too. Apart from clippy.

I’d hook up https://easydmarc.com/ for a couple of months to monitor deliverability, just while you’re bedding it in.

You didn’t just code it with AI, you also wrote all your posts and comments with AI.

Having so many accounts is getting kind of ridiculous. Please just use one or two accounts.

Not everyone wants to see so many questions. When those people block you and then you make a new account and ask many questions again with the new one, you create work for all those people who need to block your new account too.

I’ve been thinking about auto-unfollow, too. For example if an account hasn’t logged in for 6 months they unfollow everyone and leave all communities (but preserve the records of their subscriptions so they can be automatically re-follow/joined if they log in again).

Then that one guy who subscribed to all those anime communities a year ago won’t cause your instance to receive anime forever.

That’s a secret. But the selfhost community has lots of advice, e.g. https://piefed.social/c/selfhosted@lemmy.world/p/2146191/safely-exposing-services-to-the-internet

Yeah it’s not great. I could have a PSU blow out any time and it’ll take me days to sort it out, probably. I have a spare server (these things are < $100 so why not) but getting it ready for prime time wouldn’t be quick either.

Anyway the resiliency of the fediverse is in the network - people can just use another instance for their fix of shitposts until their main comes back.

A long-time mastodon contributor is shutting down their instance - https://vmst.io/@vmstan/116757564108266599

Small instances close down all the time but in this case it’s not just anyone’s instance.

This new environment will provide developers with an incentive to find ways to rein in their platform’s storage and CPU usage.

The next shoe to drop will be when S3 object storage prices double or triple. That’ll really thin the herd.

I left Hetzner after the price increase a couple of months ago, expecting that hike not to be the last.

Now I run my own hardware. It feels good to ‘own the means of federation’ and not rent it!

Another way to look at it would be “if you’ve got a toy project to practice coding without AI on, do it now” before that is the only option.

Not in the same way, no.

Most of the fediverse is open to all by default and the control admins have is to create a block list of instances they’d rather not federate with. With Peertube it doesn’t federate with anyone until admins on both sides add each other to an allowlist.

One thing that took me a looong time to realize is that Peertube federates weirdly - it’s all under control of the instance admin, not it’s users. Admins decide which instances federate with each other and then all the videos are copied between instances that have agreed to federate with each other.

But there’s no way to see this in the UI, as an ordinary user!

So it’s all super fragmented. Discoverability is atrocious, even by fediverse standards.

If you look at https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalInstanceFollowers then that’ll help you find a well-connected instance. Then post onto that one.

No mention of the war or sanctions. Seems like a deliberate oversight.

In the Homarr docs, there is this: https://homarr.dev/docs/widgets/iframe/

Towards the end there is a link to https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes which contains many examples of some content formatted nicely to fit within Homarr iframes and a docker container you can use to make a url that the iframe widget can consume. They used Go which is only a little harder than Python to read.

Seems like this one - https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes/tree/main/src/sources/changedetectionio - makes a request to a JSON api, for example.
