The things I paid attention to was

USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.

The beauty of self hosting is it’s all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

That’s not a deal that’s an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.

If you don’t want to see it, you’re not going to.

“a documented history of migrant abuse” is such a nice way to put it.

A quick search for “libya migrant mass graves” brings up this - https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/02/1159951

That’s not ‘migrant abuse’. That’s somewhere on the spectrum between genocide and mass murder.

I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.

And here we are.

Yep, I’ll document it in some way. A FEP seems overkill as it’s really just adding a bit more data onto Actors and Activities, not a big deal.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Lemmy users missing out is THE reason they’ll become PieFed users.

I did the DB structure changes at the same time as the ones needed for community flair as they’re quite similar. Might be able to do the rest tomorrow.

Tags, aka hashtags, are instance-wide (not just in a community) and interoperate with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Mbin. Anyone can make a new hashtag and they are completely unmoderated.

Flairs are a limited list determined by each community’s mods and are only used in that community. They will federate with other PieFed instances and with Lemmy (when they finish coding what they’re calling “tags”, a really unfortunate choice of name).

Watch this space.

Lol, rip

I’m conflicted.

Making those poor bastards work 12 hour days, 6 days per week for small money is pretty fucked.

Sending them to somewhere that may be a death camp is worse tho.

Feels like the article set up a false dichotomy.

You’re going to have to prioritise.

Find changes that:

Save a decent amount of money Are low risk Don’t take too long to do Can be easily backed-out of

There are probably a variety of mindsets that will do it.

For me, I think it was just really wanting to get away from being under the boot. Get away from the walled gardens. Like that feeling after using LinkedIn, except for the OS. Hearing the call of freedom, authenticity and humanity.

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.

After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.

Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE, lowered expectations of the group’s savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year.

So, a failure even on their own terms.

This idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with “Labels” https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.

We’d need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can’t just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.

It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.

Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?

Surely the best way to end all wars is to win them all. /s
