Is there a bit more context to this? This just shows a bunch of image file names.

I fully believe this is true, however do you have an article or anything about it?

Just a heads up, things like Jellyfin are against their TOS if you aren't paying for streaming with them.

Hey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that's all that seems to get posted here?

I mean it's not like there aren't literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's great, there are many places dedicated to just that topic! It doesn't need to keep being posted here cluttering up actual news about actual tech items.

I don't go to /c/cats and post about dogs. Or to /c/America and post about Europe. There is a place for everything. This community has been constantly clogged up with crap about reddit.

Oh. Cool. Yet another reddit drama thread in /c/technology

When do we change the name of this community to /c/YetAnotherRedditDramaCommunity instead of /c/technology ?

Please use a proper image host. When your uploads get federated, if they are uploaded directly to lemmy, the images get federated as well. While you may have a large server, a lot of people don't.

It even says on the lemmy docs to use a third party image service that's built to host images:

Note that this functionality is not meant to share large images or videos, because that would require too many server resources. Instead, upload them on another platform like PeerTube or Pixelfed, and share the link on Lemmy.

Someone made a post the other day (since deleted) asking why their instance was slow after they uploaded NINETY high res images in one post. Please don't be that person.

I've been looking for a way to cache images elsewhere instead of on my server as they are federated here, as my instance is tiny. I'm hoping I can find a way that's not a bucket someplace as I don't trust myself to not mess one of those up and end up with a massive bill.

it sent out about 700,000 kill messages to inform other instances that it had federated with that it was going offline for good, and to delete all record of it from their databases. Around 25% of these were returned undelivered because the instances had simply dropped offline.

It's amusing that the person complaining about these instances "failing" linked to a site that itself has "failed" and is now "for sale".

There are always "the sky is falling" posts by people that feel everything they are no longer in love or becomes slightly difficult with is "failing". I don't understand why these people always think others are going to care about their opinions on the subject at all. It makes me wonder if these people yell "I'M LEAVING" every time they exit a room.

I'll believe it when I see it. It seems like things like this come up all the time and never actually go anywhere.

A friend of mine uses it to re-type emails to sound more professional. He even got a couple of others to start doing it at his workplace. A few people have started to notice one particular employee has suddenly completely changed how he talks in emails. It's very amusing, but it works extremely well for my friend.

He even pays the $20usd/m for the "premium" or whatever version. He's a C-Suite at the company so it's nothing to him to pay for the service. Other than instances like that, or simple coding (hey I need a quick bs landing page, or I need this added to whatever) it's pretty overblown for how people seem to think it works.
