I understand the downvotes, but that law really needs reforming. The labels need to say in what way it can cause harm. I remember seeing a piece of wood (pressboard) labelled as carcinogenic at Home Depot. I couldn’t figure out what that meant. Is it ok as long as I don’t burn it? Is it bad to breath near it? Is it only dangerous if I eat it?
Labels need to be more specific about possible dangers.
Hey HobbitFoot! Are you related to the Hobbiton Proudfoots/feet?
Feel free to join us at !hobbit_art@hobbit.world and post some of your hobbit family artwork.
If I browse !lemmy@lemmy.ml I don’t see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.
Oh, maybe !announcements@lemmy.ml
More hobbits are always welcome at: !hobbit_art@hobbit.world
Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It’d be a peer to peer sort of organization.
I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.
Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.
But, I think it’s similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.
If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it’d scale almost infinitely. I don’t think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.
I’ve read theories about white holes and such. I’m not a physicist though. But ultimately, sometimes you just need to shrug and say I don’t know. Any assertions without evidence are meaningless guesses.
I did a bit of searching and the initial size you mention seems to be the initial size to which extrapolation is possible given information we have and that past that point it’s unknowable?
These are the philosophical questions that every traveler must answer for themselves. I am but a hobbit. I didn’t even remember to bring a handkerchief!
You’re right, although if you ever get the chance to browse a real physical encyclopedia, it’s a unique experience.
Not practical, but it’s a bit like playing a record or playing a game on a real NES. It’s a unique experience.
I have a full 2007 set of Encyclopedia Brittanica in the same room as my vintage computer collection. I browse it occasionally.
Sadly, no. That’s already where I was running it.
I’m not on works or world, but I see your 4m old comment. Maybe it works like file sharing where there are seeds and peers? And without seeds, we can still see some content?
I figured out how to do this with docker container, but that’s not ideal for a script.
Using docker compose it just fails with: Service “postgres” is not running container #1
I can see lemmy-easy-deploy if I do: docker compose ls
The service name is postgres in the docker-compose.yml file. Any idea what the issue might be?
I actually use namecheap. It’s only a few bucks first year, but .world domains cost $31.98 per year after that. So not $35 like I remembered, but pretty close. Or maybe that is the price with tax.
However, if I wanted a .nl domain, it’s only $7.98 per year. Looking at other domains, it’s crazy, but .inc is $2198 per year.
At the moment, just communities. I thought about letting people make accounts, and might still do it, but I don’t want the responsibility until I’m sure the system is reliable without much extra work. It seems like the lemmy.world people are running into a lot of problems.
I’m using the easy Lemmy script to run the docker instance. How do I take a backup of a running docker instance.
The backups I’ve done so far are full shard backups. But I don’t have a way to automate that.
If you’re asking what the $6 gets, I’m talking about a single shard which allows me to host a Linux instance that runs a Lemmy instance. I wasn’t sure if that was sufficient, but honestly, the performance via Jerboa is better than when I was using an account on lemmy.world. It has only been a week, so don’t know how much disk will get used up over time. Long term I might need to bump things up for storage.
Fair enough. I’ll look into automating it using some sort of storage from another provider.
No, it’s a lie. They wouldn’t say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.
