I knew something had bean missing from my timeline since I logged on this morning
I swapped to Linux for similar reasons many years ago. The initial idea was to hedge and get familiar with it so I had peace of mind. I ended up staying in the Linux sphere for most of my devices , except for my music production machine that still run windows.
Very nice! My favorites are #1 and #4.
I checked out how much it would cost to for example make live streaming platform using AWS on the backend. This is an example they give on their cost/pricing page:
Approximately 10,000 viewers for a one-hour live event using a high definition (HD)-1080p encoding profile is approximately $12.50 for live encoding and packaging + $1531.49 for 18,017GB distribution = $1,543.99 for the one-hour event.
AWS is known to be VERY expensive, you can probably save quite a bit with a smaller setup, but I don't think a longer 5+ hour stream would be cheap if done outside of these platforms.
I'dd love to hear if anyone has any real life experience with hosting large live streams like this on the cheap.
If you check the sidebar of a magazine, you will see a link to a log of all moderator actions such as deletions and what not.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but external content that gets federated to your server is entirely based on the subscriptions of users native to your server? So as long as no native users of kde subscribes to NSFW content it shouldn't really end up on their servers. As far as I know, content is not synchronized between servers just because they know of each other.
Assuming paragraph one is correct, then KDE can achieve a NSFW free server by merely limiting who gets accounts on their own server; as they should. This is just like Google not handing out @google.com addresses to every gmail user. Federation would still allow users from any instance to interact with the kde communities without problem. This means no one can make magazines/communities on the KDE server not related to KDE and any content moderation of KDE's communities would just like any other.
Malicious instances are more likely to be talking about instances abusing the federation apis in order to spam or otherwise cause havoc, not about that instances content policy.
I only skimmed the video, but kinda paused when they ran a deployment function on a git repository, suggesting they are still just an external hosting provider.
This struck me as a traditional web host with a built in javascript framework.
It looks really nicely wrapped up, but i still hope for a season 2.
I say they can, this is kind of what we have seen with Chrome tbh.
Google came in, made an awesome browser got market majority and started just implementing things to the point where its hard to keep up and the various specification bodies kind of just have to ratify things that is already in the browser or become obsolete, afaik this happened with components such as the in browser DRM which by design makes it hard to implement.
I think this can come true as long as we let them insert themselves into the ecosystem. The difference here is that we have the option to keep our part of the fediverse pristine by not federating with these servers, even if we doom ourselves to obscurity by doing it.
Honestly, I've been off reddit for a long time. Reddit made casual lurking so hard I stopped bothering.
That being said, the fediverse has probably been the first time in some time where I've had fun on the internet. It has somewhat recaptured the old spirit of finding new interesting things and communities online, even if most of them are just lemmy instances, and the same kind of content that was on reddit.
I think the reason for the high result count is because it allows results with both fuck and spez,
"fuck spez" OR "fuck u/spez" site:reddit.com
gives around 103,000 results which is probably more accurate, but sadly less hilarious.
For sure. Though, the sensors will pick up when the first of two seals break, you could potentially use the system while a replacement seal is being worked on. If you're feeling adventurous that is. ;)
