Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.

If the game doesn't meet their own standards, why exactly did they bother releasing it instead of delaying PC like the consoles were?

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I've been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we'll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Insurance can totally refuse future medical care until the implant is removed, especially if leaving it in poses a serious risk. Perfectly valid way to get her to have it removed without physically forcing someone to undergo surgery.

Maybe don't allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

A few people have posted scripts in here and self hosted to automatically sub your instance to tons of remote communities. Text content from any indexed sub will be stored in your Postgres DB, but Pict-rs just caches remote images briefly.

What's the point of this game, beyond letting them harvest user data to sell to data brokers? It doesn't seem like this really integrates with Pokemon Go or the Switch games as far as syncing Pokemons between them, and anyone that actually cares about sleep tracking would be using their phone's built-in health app or they'd have some top-rated sleep tracker from the app stores.

If it let you move Switch Pokemon over to be a day-care type thing while you sleep I could kinda see it having some use, but otherwise this just seems like shovelware with a Pokemon theme.

What "trade secrets" does he claim were stolen? Obviously ex-Twitter employees who move to Meta know their tech stack. But there's not a chance that their codebases are compatible so even if someone directly carried cover over from Twitter to a new job at Meta, it's not like it would be useful.

And if he thinks current Meta employees are still accessing Twitter IP/code/etc, Elon probably needs to first look internally and maybe not fire entire security & compliance teams.

Article suggests you simply get blocked from watching additional videos. But there's no info on how that works- is it account based? IP based? Can I wipe my YouTube cookies to bypass a block?

[–] jon@lemmy.tf 10 points 1 year ago

Lol. Guess it's time to add the rest of my subbed channels to YT-DL and ditch their shitty ad-filled site entirely.

I use Deemix/Deemon to track hundreds of artists and automatically grab new releases in FLAC from Deezer. It's slightly manual compared to my *arr stack with its Discord bot, but just a quick copy/paste from Discord/etc into a command.

Personally I have a Deezer Hi-Fi sub to get the flac's, not sure if their API is still wide open for MP3s or not. It used to be open for anything without a paid account.

So Lemmy 0.18.0 dropped today and I immediately jumped on the bandwagon and updated. That was a mistake. I did the update during my lunch hour, quickly checked to make sure everything was up (it was, at the time) and came back a few hours later to everything imploding.

As far as I can tell, things broke after the DB migrations occurred. Pict-rs was suddenly dumping stack traces on any attempt to load an image, and then at some point the DB itself fell over and started spewing duplicate key errors in an endless loop.

I wound up fiddling with container versions in docker-compose.yml until finding a fix that restored the instance. We are downgraded back to the previous pict-rs release (0.3.1), while Lemmy and Lemmy-UI are both at 0.18.0. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly went wrong so I can submit a bug report on Github.

Going forward, I will plan updates more carefully. We will have planned maintenance windows posted at least a few days in advance, and I may look into migrating the instance to my Kubernetes cluster so we can do a rolling deployment, and leave the existing pods up until everything is passing checks. In the meantime, I'm spinning up a sandbox Lemmy instance and will use that to validate upgrades before hitting this instance.

If your feed is sorted by New or includes local content, you may notice a TON of new posts showing up on reddit_ communities here over the next few days- I am attempting to scrape as much content as I can from Reddit prior to the API pricing changes on July 1. All of this content will be limited to the reddit_* communities on this instance, if you don't wish to see this content you can simply block the communities as they appear.

If anyone has requests for a subreddit mirror, drop them in the comments and I'll try to get to your request sometime this week.

Edit: Halted since random other Lemmy instances managed to auto-index my new subs, I don't want to flood any feeds outside of lemmy.tf with this. Since I can't control other instances auto discovering my new communities, all Reddit cloning will now occur in a new, defederated instance.

All import activities are now taking place at https://defed.lemmy.tf/.

 

Has anyone made or found a script to scrape a subreddit and import it to a Lemmy community? There are a handful of smaller subs that I'd like to mirror over to my instance (with author attribution) but haven't found anything that works yet. https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter looks promising but links to a non-functioning Python script (tries to use Pushshift, which isn't working at the moment).

Does anyone know of any Lemmy bots that can use a Stable Diffusion instance instead of DALLe? I found https://github.com/SleeplessOne1917/lemmy-art-bot but it's currently OpenAI only. I've got a machine sitting around with a mostly-idle SD instance and wouldn't mind hooking it up to the comments of a community on my Lemmy server (or here, but don't want to abuse someone else's storage).

 

Not much has changed today. Email verification is now disabled as we seem to have hit some bug where it just craps out until the Docker pods are restarted, I'm probably going to leave this disabled unless we start getting some large influx of spam users.

Default theme has also been changed to Darkly - Red which feels a bit more reminiscent of Reddit.

Some thoughts on image uploads

Image storage remains my primary concern for instance scalability. I am fairly limited on local storage since the server running this instance is all-NVMe, so if the /pictrs volume fills up too much, I will have to connect a cloud disk. Rather than totally disabling image uploads (which would also mean no avatars), I'm leaning towards setting something like a 400kb limit for all uploads. This is still TBD and may wind up being unnecessary if I can find some cheap option.

In preparation for a (hopeful) influx of users, I've bumped up the resources for the server a bit. We're now running on 4 cores/8gb ram and a 512tb disk on one of my OVH servers, and I may setup a larger disk for image storage if it winds up growing quickly. I've got plenty of resources to spare so there shouldn't be any scalability issues.

Email is also functional and now required for all new signups. No admin validation is required at the moment, but this could change if we start getting a flood of bots or something.

I am also looking for an admin or two to assist with the day-to-day management of this. Not sure what that will look like since I'm pretty new to Lemmy, so any help is appreciated.
