Even assuming 25% of Twitter users are bots (probably a significant over estimate), and even if half of Twitter’s users quit in the next year, it would still be 150x bigger than mastodon

(Mastodon has ~1m MAUs, compared to ~421m for Twitter)

Digging into it a bit more, it seems like I might be better off getting a 12gb 3060 - similar price point, but much newer silicon

Hah, I’ve pretty recently picked up an Epyc 7452, so not really looking for a new platform right now.

The Arc cards are interesting, will keep those in mind

Thanks for the tips! I’m looking for something multi-purpose for LLM/stable diffusion messing about + transcoder for jellyfin - I’m guessing that there isn’t really a sweet spot for those 3. I don’t really have room or power budget for 2 cards, so I guess a P40 is probably the best bet?

Personally I can’t wait for a few good bankruptcies so I can pick up a couple of high end data centre GPUs for cents on the dollar

If only we lived in a world so simple as to allow the whims of managers, customers and third parties to be completely definable in UML

Good thing there hasn’t been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL

Looks like it’s an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it’s not running as a paravirtualised system, it’s having to emulate everything from the CPU up?

If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn’t progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything

Ah yes, WordPress, renowned for it’s robust social engagement tools.

It’s the kind of decision you announce over Zoom so people don’t riot

Iosevka is my personal favourite, but will need to spend some time scrolling through

So politics aside, would you really put any money into a financial system run by someone with a proven track record of driving businesses into bankruptcy?

The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is “this is dangerous and will kill people” unless you can prove otherwise

If you have a concrete example I’d love to hear it

Keycloak to provide OIDC, although in hindsight I should have gone with Authelia Authentik

At the rates I’m paying for 4G data, there are very few places in the world where it wouldn’t be cheaper for me to get on a plane and sneakernet that much data

Why does patreon even need to be an app? What value does the app bring that the website can’t deliver?

There are very few things more obnoxious than an asshole with unsolicited parenting advice

Ok, bit of an outlandish idea, but how about something like:

• Decree that information about a person is the property of that person, and therefore cannot be possessed without compensation. Think of it like intellectual property, but for your personal information
• Set a standard royalty - say $0.05/year - that must be paid to the owner of that information for as long as that information is held. This forms an incentive to not hold information you don’t need, and gives visibility to all the places that are now forced to contact you every year to pay you the royalty
• Places where you have an explicit contractual relationship with (utilities, banks, …) could have a clause to set the royalty at $0.00, but this can’t be extended to third parties - strong incentive not to transfer information to third parties
• Unauthorised transfer or loss of information could be considered IP theft, and result in significant civil penalties
