I'm sure you know this, but getting progressively larger servers is not the only way, why not scale horizontally?

I say this as someone with next to no idea how Lemmy works.

As @RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml says, create a distributed index of usernames, and do not allow the same username to be registered twice.

I'd also propose at the same time to create a Discord style username system to avoid potential clashes - if this system is going to become large (mainstream) then eventually available usernames will be hard to choose from.

As a planner, the solution to traffic issues is 15 minute cities. It's not "leftist", it doesn't impinge on anybody's "rights", it just makes everyone's lives simpler, cheaper and healthier. This is an idealistic view, however.

Nice to see you here. Nice work on Jellyfin, it's a breath of fresh air compared to Plex.

In this case, Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi. I was trying to set up a script that would connect to a network storage device automatically. There's not a simple way to do it, you have to go about it in a hacky way.

Basically me whenever I try to use Linux on a permanent basis. What's that, you want to run a program at boot? You'll have to do it all in CLI and there's a pretty high chance you'll brick the OS. Oh, and don't make any spelling mistakes!

I think the crux of the issue is that corporations are quick to throw around the term "AI" as it's a buzz word, and the lay person does not know what it means other than "smart-ish". I'd argue that there is no real AI in existence (yet).

Discworld comes to mind. There are a lot of interesting concepts in the Pratchett novels.

Weirdly, Battlefield 4. It was the only game I was very good at (top 1000 for skill), and since then the BF games have been less inspiring - also it seems as I get older there's less time I can commit to playing games.

Great idea, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of.

I find it strange how this post has become heavily downvoted, I guess some people would rather not think about it at all rather than consider the possibilities.

Can you explain what is meant by "stateless root"? I can't find a decent answer online.
