I have a couple of thoughts.

  1. I dont need or want Lemmy to appeal to the mainstream. Frankly, I already get all the mainstream 'culture' I can stand, and frequntly more.

  2. I think it's a mistake to consider Lemmy a one-to-one repacement for Reddit. I hope the fediverse can leverage the whole, y'know, federation thing. I think topic-driven instances that function similarly to the old phpBB boards is a good paradigm. It's not about a monster site that has a board for everything. It's more answering the question, 'What if I could post on gamefaqs from my metal archives account?'

I guess I just think we could do better than trying to out-reddit reddit, when it comes to having a vision for the platform.

Will it still be possible to purchase a VPS in another country and pay with Monero or something? This seems like insane over reach, are theu going to make it illegal for americans to do business with international IAAS providers?

But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?

I try to keep an eye out for repetitive tasks that might make good projects. I just started a python script that's going to download all my google photos so i can free up my cloud storage.

I think communities run by people who wish to mod them arbitrarily should be allowed to exist.

researchers and philosophers (not sure why we should care about the latter’s opinions on LLMs).

Philosophers may not be represent an authory on the mechanics of LLMs, but in a discussion of the nature consciousness (which is really what the stochastic parrot stuff is about), their opinion is as valid as anyone elses, and they have one of the richer histories of conceptualizing it, long before more rigorous empirical disciplines could dream of doing so.

Along a similar vein, you can catch some cool live performances of lesser known acts on the KEXP youtube channel. They interview the artists too, which is cool. They often come up in search results for artists I look up on Youtube, and my music taste tends toward the indie (as in independent, not the sound genre).

That his initial view of his powers implications was flawed is central to his character. His entire moral philosophy is predicated on his feelings of guilt and regret for his selfish actions resulting in Uncle Bens death.

What do you use for hosting? I'm looking for a good host and highly budget conscious.

 

Im pretty satisfied with Lemmy, but one thing i wish you could do is browse instances. Like i wish there was a way i could almost emulate being on my programming.dev account and see all that instances communities while im logged into this account. Afaik theres no easy way to do that without visiting some aggregator website. It would be nice to do within Lemmy itself.

 

is there a program that will allow me to do this without having to sign into my google account? like sendanywhere but for bluetooth?

 

I've been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what's the go to option now that it's becoming increasingly uncommon?

 

Two good movies I've seen recently are Trench 11 (this one is a real hidden gem and can be streamed for free on Tubi), and Overlord. Both are horror/scifi period pieces set in world war 1 and 2 respectively. I love the mixture of gritty realism and fantastical horror and was wondering if anyone had some other recommendations.
