Fediverse@lemmy.world•Hetzner prices have skyrocketed (up to 3x); how will this affect your Fediverse server?English
9·25 days agoI host on my own hardware. Hopefully said hardware will continue to last for a long time.
This also calls for more optimisation from the developers, meaning less use of resources on the hardware.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse?English
71·1 month agoSay ww3 kicks off and power goes off - how are you keeping your servers up? Solar panels and batteries?
My servers run on a power station and then solar panels with a battery.
What if there’s a biblical flood and you dont have the means to build an arc? All your servers are destroyed beyond repair?
I have a boat.
What if you heard the Feds are coming to cart you and your servers away cos they suspect you of bad mouthing Emperor Tromp?
Don’t live in the US. Servers are encrypted and backed up off-site.
What if theres a war and Luxembourg (you know, the enemy) let’s of an EMP pulse that kills your servers and all the infrastructure (power, internet…). How do you access all those cherished pics on Immich?
It takes A LOT for an EMP to fry electronics. The most important pictures can be printed. Already have a lot of albums. Some of my pictures is stored on discs.
In an apocalypse or an emergency, none of this stuff really matters though. You are better of making sure you have enough food, water and shelter. In almost any event, your servers are just going to sit there, waiting to be turned on again, when hopefully everything is back to “normal”.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
61·2 months agoAlternatively, it’s built into the platform. So when someone uploads an image to Lemmy a local AI model does the description.
Edit: Then it could even be marked as AI generated and people could choose to be exposed to it or not.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?English
5·2 months agoNot sure you and the OP is on the same page? Or maybe I’m not.
OP is talking about alternative text for images, for people who can’t see. The alternative text is a description of the image. I’m not sure how you could achieve automated alternative text without AI?
If you are talking about OCR, even that is AI powered.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFed Flagship Instance Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability & Other Questionable UpdatesEnglish
65·2 months agoI must commend Lemmy.ml for remaining neutral and not letting its own political leanings influence [join-lemmy.org](https://join-lemmy.org/instances), while simultaneously condemn PieFed.social for this immature move that is harmful to the health of the Fediverse.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFed Flagship Instance Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability & Other Questionable UpdatesEnglish
229·2 months agojoin-lemmy.org and piefed.social is not the same thing. One is a page about software and the other is an instance. Why shouldn’t rimu be able to run piefed.social they way they see fit?
I am not seeing any political influence at join.piefed.social. join.piefed.social even links to the instance chooser of https://nord.pub/auth/instance_chooser

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What Is A Good Sub $300 Computer I Can Use For A Server?English
454·2 months ago“… order from here instead [insert alternative]”
I use Yacy, so search queries does not leak.
Glorified search engine.
For some reason, every admin of every instance feels the need to have the same communities like everyone else.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Framework says it's selling more Linux laptops than Windows as new Laptop 13 Pro sells out first 7 batches
2·3 months agoThe first few Framework laptops were bought back in 2024. About 30 people have a Framework now, while the rest has Lenovo’s.
Nothing but issues with Lenovo. They even have a built-in reset button on the bottom for when they freeze and not even the power button works… They are between 2-4 years old. The USB-C ports in all of them are trash.
No issues with any Framework’s so far, except one had an issue with connecting to a TV through a Lenovo dock.



























Pixelfed is primarily photos and loops is videos only, like PeerTube.
