I keep considering going back to college for hard sciences, you give me hope.

If you see how she runs her instance it's no surprise. I'm sure the ban list for their instance is long and will eventually include the entire fediverse.

I don't think that's true. I'm pretty certain they simply hop on a torrent client with an illegal torrent for their movie and record the IP addresses they see seeding and leeching. Then simply compel the responsible ISP to reveal which of their customers currently has that IP leased.

Why would you think I watch Fox news? My bad, mixed up Afghanistan and Iraq. But I'm sure Iraq isn't far behind.

Who could have possibly been the culprit???

Well to be fair the filibuster guarantees almost nothing gets done while Congress is not at a 2/3rds majority

Mastodon needs a way of automatically populating your feed for new users, like the "All" button does here on Lemmy if your instance has done the work.

I consider myself somewhat technology literate and I got frustrated/bored after trying on my phone to find popular accounts elsewhere to follow on the smaller instance I signed up on. Still stuck with an empty feed, but mostly out of laziness*. New users don't stand a chance.

They have to prevent the "extinction off the human race" after all 🙄

Could also have been old-timers that have had accounts repeatedly banned by admins for bullshit reasons. But yeah more likely just bots lol.

There's a niche type of CPU cooler you can get that uses just thermal mass, e.g. thermal pipes from your CPU spreader to finned metal on your case or directly into your case. They can't provide as much cooling as liquid but it has zero moving parts.

I tried to get one of these cases/coolers for my home server and just could NOT find reasonably priced options or much availability. It's kind of absurd, there should be a larger market for them.

I didn't want to have to worry about dust build up and fans dying myself.

 

Aside from the usability learning curve he talks about, the other very pointed criticism is scalability problems that instance owners face. From what I understand, Lemmy and Mastodon are both similar in that they use the ActivityPub protocol. Could Lemmy get too big to scale and still be decentralized?
