this user has a lot of questions, very reluctant to use Lemmy in c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Most of the people who want to sign up for Lemmy are already here. They are technically oriented and don't mind dealing with the quirks of Federated platforms.

The commenter's concerns are valid. For a "normie" who's only used traditional social media, the Fediverse seems like a train wreck. I enjoy the Fediverse because I like figuring out new things and learning new stuff. Normies don't have time for that.

tl/dr: The average person will be very reluctant to use Lemmy.

Wow, I forgot he had that show. I just listened to it and I remember it now.

My apologies to anyone if I left out your favorite show.

Yeah, I realized Knight Rider is in the wrong place. I don't think I can change the pic once its posted.

Edit: nevermind, it let me change it.

I didn't think about that. It probably is localized.

I like to make fun of my home state. It's a pretty conservative place so the idea of a woman with a penis offends them.

[–] OpticalMoose@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It took a lot of effort, but I got rid of snacks a few weeks ago. I got rid of desserts a couple of months ago. Sadly, I still take in way too many carbs right now, but I'm just taking it one step at a time.

Keep up the fight. ✊

For anyone interested: there's a new community for small trucks !keitrucks@lemm.ee

Wow. I was hoping someone would make this community. I'd love a Kei, but I'd need to drive on the interstate for most of what I need to haul.

I think 70s-80s small pickups are going to become collectables in the future.

Pessimism growing in Trump's inner circle that a hush money guilty verdict is inevitable (www.rawstory.com)
 

Apparently, it's rare for lawyers to draw objections during their opening statements, but it happened twice for Trump's team today and the judge sustained both objections.

Residents push for renaming of Trump Plaza to disassociate from ex-president (www.theguardian.com)
 

In February the New York Times reported that after Trump became president the value of apartments in buildings bearing his name had underperformed market value. Buildings which had stripped the Trump name had seen their value shoot back up.
“This analysis clearly identifies that it is the Trump brand that is responsible for the value deterioration,” an economist told the Times.

Harpootlian vows to fight proposed apartments 'tooth and nail' if they house homeless vets (www.postandcourier.com)
 

Residents of the Cottontown neighborhood are concerned the two-building, 102-unit complex will house homeless veterans using government vouchers to pay rent

So they don't want to house homeless veterans, at least Not In My Back Yard™. And, when given the chance to walk back his comments at least a little bit, Harpootlian doubled down. https://thetandd.com/news/local/government-and-politics/sc-rep-ott-criticizes-sen-harpootlian-for-comments/article_0e6ee7c3-6333-5660-a138-82803d9ba413.html

What are some good options for Peertube hosting? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I need to host about 30 Gb of video, light traffic, but may need to upgrade in a year if things go well.

Self hosting isn't really an option. I don't want to deal with the security issues of keeping the hosted stuff separate from my home network.

I'd rather avoid AWS/Google, etc and give my money to a smaller company instead even if its a couple of bucks extra.

I'm also looking for a .family domain if anyone knows some good registrars.

It's been about 20 years since I've hosted a website, and the only thing I can remember is don't use GoDaddy.

NVIDIA Chat With RTX (www.nvidia.com)
 

This is an interesting demo, but it has some drawbacks I can already see:

  • It's Windows only (maybe Win11 only, the documentation isn't clear)
  • It only works with RTX 30 series and up
  • It's closed source, so you have no idea if they're uploading your data somewhere

The concept is great, having an LLM to sort through your local files and help you find stuff, but it seems really limited.

I think you could get the same functionality(and more) by writing an API for text-gen-webui.
