Could be accident, edgelord, or they think somehow this will train a nonexistent social media algorithm into showing them fewer wholesome posts and more news.

Ya know with the right date, it can still be a pretty funny joke. I’ve had dates that would have loved that one.

There’s so many mobo connectors that clearly were not designed with cycle count in mind.

I like to ask it like so:

Have you spent enough time on taking care of you lately? You’re no good to anyone when you’re not well.

Sort of. There’s realtime builds, but the Linux definition of real time is more relaxed than dedicated RTOS’s in exchange for a much more feature-filled OS. You should not use Linux if people could die when you miss a deadline. You want a simple system where it’s easier to prove that can never happen.

Pretty much the only place it doesn’t run is where you have hard real-time requirements and on extremely small embedded micro controllers.

My morning routine was almost exactly the same because the cats start screaming if I don’t get up.

I’m thinking we don’t exactly want everybody on Lemmy. Just the people who’d actually put in a little bit of effort.

Yes, I know this is the shitpost community.

If you’re willing to donate bandwidth, I suggest I2P or a public SyncThing node. My server chews through a terabyte of bandwidth helping people securely access their files. I also run Tor’s Snowflake proxy which helps users reach the network.

I2P is Java. SyncThing and Snowflake are written in Go which means you can’t pull off typical memory corruption attacks in these relatively safe languages, and it’s fairly easy to run them in a container.

I don’t feel like it makes a huge difference for me and I run quite a few servers. It’s mainly the cooling costs in the summer months that run up the bill.

BOINC is great. In its day, you could get an enormous amount of computing power on a shoestring budget thanks to volunteers. It also helped the volunteers feel like they were more a part of something, because they were! I used to have a small server farm crunching numbers for science.

Unfortunately, the landscape has changed. Some projects are still around, but many of the big players have left. Computing power is a lot more accessible now, and the main limitation is time spent analyzing the data rather than the computation itself. Cloud computing can make just about any computation happen fast for a reasonable price without having to own all of that hardware. GPUs have exploded in computation capacity. Just, a lot of factors came together where the need isn’t as great.

With that said, I still run it on one mini PC, but the payoff for having to write your application in a distributed fashion doesn’t have the return on investment that it used to.

Great time to try wireless charging if you have a device that supports it.

Hey! My assembler is actually quite neat and compartmentalized.

A decentralized social media has 2 problems: How to store the entire world’s data on a blockchain

Stopped reading right there. I can’t take this project seriously. Even the description uses weasel words that focus more on broad concepts rather than technical clarity. I struggle to find a new idea being presented here that actually provides concrete and material benefits over other ways to put power in the hands of users.

To me this looks exactly like an academic project that was done in school and quickly forgotten. It’s great for writing papers, however.

Oh my God I didn’t see what community this was. If this was supposed to be a joke, it was quite the long one. But yeah it’s a joke project it looks like. That’s a fair comparison.

Just about half as twice as much.

Don’t forget those knees! I miss not being in constant pain.

On the bright side, I’m happy to report that I care a lot less the older I get.

I bet your self hosted services actually work too.

I just installed a new Linux system on my laptop and I feel called out.

Back in my day we said it was better than twilight.
