What it meant to me was that I had to unpin the link to my lemm.ee account from my Firefox home page.

It could've been the case that I would've had one less instance to choose from, but in the aftermath of the announcement, I found two new instances I wanted to try, so I'm actually one ahead in the long run.

And that's it.

I’m not going to pretend the data is safe—it will disappear eventually.


That's what's valuable, yeah. Lots of great posts that I don't want to be lost.

But, it’s not like we lost everything that was produced in that community overnight, even with the server going offline.


Fair.

I did create a list of all posts submitted to !spotifyplaylists@lemm.ee at !spotifyplaylists@lemmy.world so that all those valuable posts are not lost.

Do any of you have a buttload of RAM sitting around?

Hi,

I have a friend who is looking to run a few simulations he has implemented in python and needs around 256GB of ram. He is estimating it will take a couple of hours, but he is studying economics so take that with a grain of salt 🤣

For this instance, I recommended GCP, but I felt a bit dirty doing that. So, I was wondering if any of you have a buttload of memory he can burrow? Generally, would you lend your RAM for a short amount of time to a stranger over the internet? (assuming internet acccess is limited to a signle ssh port, other necessary safeguards are in place)

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered surprising new clues about a hefty, rapidly aging star whose behavior has never been seen before in our Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the star is so weird that astronomers have nicknamed it “Nasty 1,” a play on its catalog name of NaSt1. The star may represent a brief transitory stage in the evolution of extremely massive stars.

First discovered several decades ago, Nasty 1 was identified as a Wolf-Rayet star, a rapidly evolving star that is much more massive than our sun. The star loses its hydrogen-filled outer layers quickly, exposing its super-hot and extremely bright helium-burning core.

But Nasty 1 doesn’t look like a typical Wolf-Rayet star. The astronomers using Hubble had expected to see twin lobes of gas flowing from opposite sides of the star, perhaps similar to those emanating from the massive star Eta Carinae, which is a Wolf-Rayet candidate.

Instead, Hubble revealed a pancake-shaped disk of gas encircling the star. The vast disk is nearly 2 trillion miles wide, and may have formed from an unseen companion star that snacked on the outer envelope of the newly formed Wolf-Rayet. Based on current estimates, the nebula surrounding the stars is just a few thousand years old, and as close as 3,000 light-years from Earth.

In regard to big instances shutting down and search results

You can still see lemm.ee for example on search results since the metadata was saved by it, you can see a snippet and the topic title but of course upon clicking you will hit a dead end since its been shutdown.

Is there something like Serpia Search use case for browsing content from PeerTube instances to be used to search such topics we can still see on search engine results to find them without necessarily using an instance? I was wondering if there was and had an API maybe it could be used like on SearX to gather an alternative link for such cases when clicking in a result from a closed instance

Gibt's da Quellen dazu? Ich denke, dass es damals noch viel schwieriger war, Arbeit und Freizeit überhaupt voneinander abzugrenzen. Wenn dann gerade keine Feldarbeit gemacht wurde, wurden Maschinen und Kleidung repariert oder Lebensmittel haltbar gemacht. Dass man damals wesentlich mehr echte Freizeit gehabt haben soll, als heute, finde ich schwer vorstellbar, lasse mich aber gerne eines besseren belehren.

During the medieval era peasants would work an average of 1080 hours a year or about 20 hours a week. This number would fluctuate depending upon the demands of the lord and the season. The reason the average medieval peasant worked less hours is because of how work was structured during the medieval open-field system.


...

Economic historians such as Nora Ritchie calculated that medieval peasants would only work up to 120 days a year due to fluctuations in the farming seasons and church sanctioned holidays. During these farming days the medieval peasant could expect to work from sun up to sun down.

During the peak of the farming season this would be 16 hour days, 6 days a week. Sunday was reserved for rest. However, historians have primary sources that detail that during these 16 hour days the work was not consistent.

The local church wanted to keep the peasantry happy. As such there were a lot of mandated breaks for medieval peasants throughout the day.

There was an hour break for breakfast, hour break for lunch, a one to two hour break at noon for a nap, and another hour break for dinner. (page 445-455 of linked source)


...

In return for their labor a lord would give them governance, stability, protection, and in some cases private land ownership in the lord’s name. The lord would provide no direct social security or a means for retirement. However, if a peasant could eventually acquire their own piece of land then they could have a family and obtain some level of social security.

Further, the concept of community was incredibly strong in medieval villages and towns. A medieval peasant who got sick would be taken care of by other peasants and by the local church. In turn they were expected to help others who were sick.

However, in the end a medieval peasant would not retire. They would work their entire life in some capacity. However, when a peasant could no longer work in the field their children or community would help out and give them the smaller tasks to help the community out.


The Amount Of Hours Medieval Peasants Worked Per Week

Medieval peasants lived and worked a drastically different life then the average person. Here is exactly how many hours they worked.

Dein Link definiert halt nicht, was als "Arbeit" zählt. Hausarbeit war vor der Erfindung von Haushaltsgeräten wie der Waschmaschine und halbwegs leistbaren Stoffen (im Gegensatz zu selbstgewebten Stoffen) ein massiver Arbeitsaufwand. Was bringt dir eine 30h-Woche, wenn du dann praktisch deine ganze Freizeit mit Putzen, Sachen reparieren, einkaufen usw. verbringst? Und ich bezweifle, dass Frauen an Feiertagen nicht geputzt, gekocht, genäht usw. haben.

Da die Anzahl der Kleidungsstücke deutlich geringer war, bezweifel ich, dass so viel Zeit zum waschen aufgebracht wurde. Dazu kommu, dass Wäschewaschen, Kochen und andere Hausarbeiten sozialer waren, wodurch sie weniger dröge als heute waren.

Zum Kochen ist schon mal das praktische Thema, dass in der Erntesaison nicht gleichzeitig gekocht und das Feld bestellt werden konnte. D.h. i.d.R. die Frauen mussten vor dem Mittag vom Feld runter und an den Herd. Damit verringert sich die Arbeitszeit.

Einkaufen ist ein interessantes Beispiel. Früher ist man dann zum Markttag in die Stadt gefahren/gelaufen, und hat da alles erledigt was man brauchte, aber natürlich auch gequatscht, die neuesten Nachrichten bekommen, etc.

Heute gehen Leute eher in ihrer Freizeit zum Markt. Die Erfahrung wird anders wahrgenommen, als z.B. im Supermarkt die Wocheneinkäufe zu machen. Sonst gehen Leute auch bewusst als Freizeitaktivität "shoppen", was keinesfalls als "Arbeit" gewertet werden kann.

Zu guter letzt musst du dann aber auch auf die heutigen Arbeitszeitmodelle noch die Hausarbeit draufschlagen. Wer richtig kocht, ist dann auch noch mal bei 10-20h mehr pro Woche.

Bei Themen wie "Garten" oder "Handwerken" als Hobby ist dann auch die Frage, warum sich so viele freiwillig ein Hobby als zusätzliche Arbeit antun, dass der Arbeit und Hausarbeit mittelalterlicher Bauern ähnelt? Offenbar ist die Wahrnehmung davon was "Arbeit" und was "Freizeit" ist, auch heute noch nicht so einfach trennbar.

Ich habe über die römische Antike gelesen, dass Stoffe herstellen und Kleidung nähen tatsächlich die Hauptbeschäftigungen von Frauen gewesen sein soll. Das hängt natürlich auch von Mode, Klima und Reichtum ab (weniger arme Familien können sich ja zumindest gewebte Stoffe kaufen, und in Sizilien muss Kleidung nicht so warm sein wie in Deutschland), aber ich wüsste keinen Grund, warum das im mitteleuropäischen Mittelalter für die meisten Menschen deutlich anders gewesen sein sollte - die erste große Innovation in dem Bereich seit der Antike, das Spinnrad, kam hierzulande erst ab ca. dem 13. Jhd auf.

Hier eine Quelle: acoup.blog/2021/03/19/collecti… (im Abschnitt "Distaff Economics")

Put into working terms, the basic clothing of our six person farming family requires 7.35 labor hours per day, every day of the year. Our ‘comfort’ level requires 22.05 hours (obviously not done by one person).

These figures come way down once we get the spinning wheel and horizontal loom, but what seems fairly readily apparently is that women did not necessarily work less so much as produce more, selling the excess via the ‘putting out’ system we mentioned last time and using that to support their families.


Spinnräder sind lt. Wikipedia im 12 Jahrhundert nach Europa gekommen. Damit ist dann die interessante Frage, auf welche Zeit im Mittelalter wir uns beziehen.

They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Lemmy Development Update June 2025

This was a busy month, with ~80 pull requests merged, as we're trying to get all the breaking changes we can added before the 1.0 release.

The release is still several months away, as even after finishing up the rest of the 1.0 milestone issues, we still have to add this new functionality to Lemmy-UI and Jerboa, and do extensive testing.

Here are some of the major changes made over the past month:

  • Added multi-communities (One of the most requested features).
  • Added a new rate limiting library.
  • Refactored the API structs and library for better usage in Rust projects.
  • Improved the migration diff checker.
  • Using an external library for checking invisible characters.
  • Votes are now removed when banning + removing data.
  • Added a GDPR style data export.
  • Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.
  • Added ability to make a note for a user.
  • Added an RSS feed for modlogs.
  • Added an API action to get liked / disliked content.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

I found non-invasive ads exceedingly rare in recent years. I sometimes tried putting certain sites from creators I want to support on allowlists and always went back almost immediately because the ads were so invasive. I'd rather donate to content than view ads, even $0.5 is probably worth years of consuming most ad-paid content, considering how little ads actually pay per visitor.

Curious about performance of nouveau on old laptops with discrete graphics

Got myself a Dell Latitude ~~E4310~~ E6410 and Thinkpad T510 for free, both with discrete Nvidia graphics soldered to the mainboard. I've installed Linux on them and just went with the nouveau driver since the proprietary Nvidia driver for such old cards is no longer in the Debian 12 repo. Not going to do anything cutting edge on them, but it does leave me wondering:

  • I read that I could, with some effort, install the proprietary driver manually. Am I missing out on anything at all without them, or is nouveau mature enough and the graphics old enough that I wouldn't notice?
  • Is nouveau with old discrete graphics better or worse than having just Intel's integrated graphics?
  • Does power consumption vary significantly between nouveau and proprietary drivers?

EDIT

Answering myself after going down a rabbit hole with the T510:

  1. The dGPU is the NVS 3100M, which does have some level of hardware acceleration support under nouveau, so at least it isn't draining power for zero benefit. However, the dGPU is unable to go past its lowest power state without manually manipulating /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate (I did not try to) and I suspect that this is what kneecaps 3D performance. There should be a marked difference, but I won't be doing any serious work on these machines, so I'm leaving everything as-is.
  2. This situation is worse than having just integrated graphics due to the inherent power consumption of the GPU core while unable to benefit from higher power states and other optimizations.
  3. Power consumption is probably less, but for much worse performance. At least it is a much better fallback than leaving at maximum.
  • A later variant has the BIOS option to disable the dGPU, mine is an early variant with no options

One thing to keep in mind about older versions of the nvidia proprietary drivers is that they will only work with specific kernel versions (and specific X versions—not sure about Wayland). Once the driver series your card needs stops being updated, you can't update your kernel without patching the driver. Assuming you have the skills to patch the driver, or someone who does makes their patches public.

I went through this song-and-dance with a very old laptop that had a card of the NV40 generation as its only GPU (no integrated graphics). Eventually I did install nouveau on it, and used it for several years without any issues.

NVS 3100M has codename NV50 (Tesla), so you can see the feature matrix.

nouveau.freedesktop.org/PowerM…
So you can see almost other things has been done but the power management especially Automatic Reclocking still unfinished. So the feature set and stability should be fine and the performance will be bad.

Challenges meeting new people without an Instagram account

I’ve been trying to meet new friends and new people to hang out with so have been going to a lot of social events.

I noticed that everyone seems to ask for my instagram account and when I say I don’t have one that connection kind of dies, and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them.

I don’t want to create an instagram because of the privacy invasions of meta but I also don’t want to feel left out when trying to make new connections. Anyone have any advice?

esphome device encryption key after HA reinstall
I lost my esphome config in HA. I have several devices (sonoff S31) that show up in HA asking for encryption keys when I try to add them, which I don't have as old HA vm is gone. Is there anyway to reset them to base esphome config without disassembling and reflashing esphome? From what I can tell googling this, the answer is no, but thought I'd ask before I go ahead with that plan.

Blowtorching Electroplated 3D Prints For Good Reason

What if you electroplated a plastic 3D print, and then melted off the plastic to leave just the metal behind? [HEN3DRIK] has been experimenting , with some impressive results.

For this work, [HEN3DRIK] prints objects in a special PVB “casting filament” which has some useful properties. It can be smoothed with isopropanol, and it’s also intended to be burnt off when used in casting processes. Once the prints come off the printer, [HEN3DRIK] runs a vapor polishing process to improve the surface finish, and then coats the print with copper paint to make the plastic conductive on the surface. From there, the parts are electroplated with copper to create a shiny metallic surface approximately 240 micrometers thick. The final step was to blowtorch out the casting filament to leave behind just a metal shell. The only problem is that all the fire tends to leave an ugly oxide layer on the copper parts, so there’s some finishing work to be done to get them looking shiny again.

We’ve featured [HEN3DRIK]’s work before, particularly involving his creation of electroplated 3D prints with mirror finishes. That might be a great place to start your research if you’re interested in this new work. Video after the break.

It worked and I know in retrospect I really needed it to be that way

Edit/Update: person I had convo with just texted me and apologized for combativeness and I mutually apologized for not dealing with it sooner and we're along and on to solution mode. The system works, please dont drink if you dont have too but dont forbid yourself from using a tool to improve your situation and try to always be honest. The less you lie or hide, the less influence you will have to unnecessarily drink

You're just firing off the spider questions today.

My brother had had some till a while ago, but they don't live that long. He had two of the American species ones and a redback. They are really chill spiders and don't handle differently than any other local Theridiid spider. They are quite boring, really.

You don't really interact with them, they setup their web and then they'll just stay there till they die of old age (around 2 years).

Tumblr’s move to WordPress and fediverse integration is ‘on hold’

Fuck Tumblr. Fuck WordPress. Fuck Automattic. And fuck Matt.

Tumblr has some interesting content from users, but the platform is awful and it's even worse since Automattic bought it. Also, the trend to put the entire contents of the post in hashtags is flat-out stupid and infuriating.

Automatic is a tremendously terrible company, and Matt is an egotistical pile of garbage.

[REPOST] Lancia Orca Concept dashboard by Italdesign (1982)

Original post by @Crul@lemm.ee:

It is possible that the image I have submitted here is not the originally-submitted image. That image was on an image host that went down, and archive.org's Wayback Machine did not grab a copy, so I cannot know what the original image was. I used the dashboard image from the source page that Crul linked to, since I'm personally most-interested in the VFD-based dashboards from the era, and because he mentioned the dashboard in the title. Usually I'd just not repost a post if I can't properly resurrect the original content, but I did like this image.

Social media kann auch manufactured consent unterlaufen. Deswegen sind die Amis z.B. so rabiat gegen TikTok vorgegangen.

Problem ist natürlich, dass privatwirtschaftliche Plattformen den gleichen "Filter"funktionen unterliegen, wie klassische Medien. Andererseits kommen die Plattformen auch schnell an ihre Grenzen, weil nicht ein paar dutzend, sondern Millionen Menschen kontrolliert werden müssen, immer wieder neue Wege zum Umgehen der Zensur gefunden werden, und nicht zuletzt die Zensur stärker auffällt, als bei klassischen Medien, wo diese für Uninformierte unsichtbar bleibt.

Die Linke hat z.B. im letzten Wahlkampf durch gute Social Media Arbeit ihre Themen deutlich besser platzieren können, als es ihr ARD, ZDF & co. jemals gestattet hätten.

Das Problem damit ist, dass man bei sozialen Medien einfach Reichweite kaufen kann. Außerdem haben die Plattformen als Unternehmen ja selbst ein enormes Interesse daran, linkes Gedankengut zu unterdrücken. Klar kann es in Einzelfällen schon mal zugunsten linker Organisationen ausgehen, aber die Politik wird in den meisten westlichen Ländern trotzdem von rechten Parteien dominiert.

Solved: Any desktop environment or WM with configurable placing/opening of windows?

When using TMUX, it is easy to create a script, which opens TMUX, configures the screens/panes of TMUX and open/run programs.

I like this a lot.

My baseline would be something like, when I login, some applications are executed and their windows automatically placed on a virtual desktop.

For example:

  • Open Firefox and put it on virtual desktop 1
  • Open Terminal in fullscreen and put it on virtual desktop 2
  • Open VSCode and put it on virtual desktop 3

Something like that is possible with sway, in the environment I am working, sway is not able to run XWayland applications w/o crashing.

Is there any way to have this functionality on Gnome, Mate, Xfce?

Even better would be something to open several windows and arrange them automatically for different work tasks/projects I am working on. Any ideas?

Edit: Solved! Thanks for the input. Auto Move Windows extension for Gnome solves my problem.

Why FIAB SegrateCiclabile opened an account on Mastodon (English translation)

Premise


FIAB Segrateciclabile is a local association, promoting cycling as a mean of transport, part of a national FIAB association. What follows is the translation of an Italian post where we share with members of the association why we opened an account on Mastodon (we already have Facebook an IG). I though it would be interesting to share in thos space, since I think this kind of associations should all be on the fediverse, as their values usually align much better than those of X, Facebook etc.

Why FIAB SegrateCiclabile opened an account on Mastodon


a logo where a cycle path sign bycivlrle has its frane replaced with fediverse logo

FIAB SegrateCiclabile recently opened an account on Mastodon @FIABSegrateCiclabile@mastodon.uno where we share events and news from our FIAB Ciclobby section.

What is Mastodon ?


Mastodon is a social network similar to Twitter, but with different principles. Users only see posts from those who follow, in chronological order, without ads. Unlike Twitter or Facebook, Mastodon is part of a larger network (called Fediverse) composed of many connected servers (called instances). Anyone can open one and be part of it, creating a decentralized environment. This means that no one can control everything, as it does with the big platforms.

What does Mastodon have in common with sustainable mobility?


Mastodon and the Fediverse share values with cycling and sustainable mobility, as they arise from grassroots with the aim of solving the structural problems of mainstream solutions.

Freedom and Inclusion


Unlike traditional social media, Mastodon does not require personal data to access content. It promotes an inclusive environment, where hate speech is not tolerated. FIAB is committed to a mobility accessible to all, not only to those who own a car, a driver’s license and the ability and the economic possibility of using it.

Community and Participation


Those who ride a bicycle have a deeper connection with their surroundings. The car isolates, while the bike favors genuine interactions. In the Fediverse, users can connect authentically, with no algorithms that manipulate their choices.

Democracy of the Spaces


The Fediverse represents a reaction to the commercialization of the Internet, giving control back to users. Likewise, FIAB fights to give public space back to people, not cars.

Conclusion


In an era dominated by large corporations, it is essential to enhance digital spaces like Mastodon. These instruments promote freedom of expression, inclusion and democracy, reflecting FIAB. We invite everyone to explore Mastodon and join a community that values genuine connections.

Freedom and democracy must exist in both physical and digital spaces.

Yeah, this one is on Kent... again.

He posted on Patreon that there'll be a DKMS module. In my opinion, this should have been the option from the very beginning and upstreaming at a later point in time. It would have avoided a lot of drama. And now bcachefs is kind of tainted. The only way I ever see it back in mainline is there is an independent downstream of Kent's kernel that has no connection to him whatsoever.

Shame because I had very good experience with the filesystem. Definitely better than when btrfs was new. But Linus is unfortunately right; Kent is unable to follow agreed collaboration rules.

Unfortunate situation that could have been avoided entirely. Though I don't want to be too harsh on Kent. He spent a lot of time and work on bcachefs and it's his most important project. As such, he's more passionate about all of this. But the same can be said for Linus and the kernel on the other side.

The problem is that kent is a bullshitter and acted like he doesnt get what a feature freeze is.
If he cant communicate with linus as to why his patch is actually bugfix then he cant contribute to the kernel.

It is great. I actually was a heavy critic of pulseaudio and stuck with ALSA on my desktop for as long as I could (until last year) by using Gentoo with USE="alsa -pulseaudio", the X-Fi's hardware mixing and automatic S/PDIF passthrough.

I tried to switch to pulseaudio a couple of times whenever I read one of those "it's good now, trust me bro" articles, but it wasn't, ever. It had and still has a huge amount of hard-coded, opinionated, often perplexing, behavioral quirks that made it feel like it just fought me every step of the way.

Pipewire on the other hand does not only have saner defaults, almost everything is softcoded with a great Lua plugin API. Don't like a default routing choice or want to automate your own, Wireplumber got you covered. Last year my X-Fi failed (or rather got flakey) and I had to choose between buying another used one or moving to PW. Almost everything worked out of the box on PW the way I like it, except a few details which were almost all covered by the settings. For the last problem, encoded streams not clearing the output, I wrote my own routing plugin.

The documentation for that API isn't necessarily the best, but it's easy to start from something small and work your way to understanding how to get the result you want.

Übercomplicated

If it's a pure DAC, it's default output will likely be between 1 to 2 Volts RMS. If your listening on iems or ~30 Ohm headphones that is gonna be crazy loud. It seems like you are using digital audio control to manage this (i.e., the audio level in your DE), which is possible, but certainly not ideal. It also is kinda bad for the audio quality, as you are digitally remixing it, and if you ever switch to high impedance headphones (or already have), the output current will be sub-ideal.

If I'm assessing your situation correctly, then this is quite easy to solve though. You just need a preamp! This will give a nice knob to control audio with much more precision and finesse. I know that both JDS Labs and Schiit Audio offer headphone amps with built in preamps in the USA. I can highly recommend the JDS Labs Atom Amp 2. In Europe your a little more limited, but FiiO has some nice options I think.

Of course none of this is necessary if you don't want audiophile levels of quality, but it would boost the audio quality (presuming your DAC doesn't have a proper preamp), and would certainly give you a tactile, wonderful knob.

I can certainly attest that my HD600s sound quite a bit better out of a JDS Labs Atom Amp 2 than out of just my DAC or—god forbid—my Mobo audio... They sound even better out of my vintage 100W Onkyo amp, of course, but really not by much. I am really impressed by the Atom Amp. I initially just bought it for travelling, but it has now basically become my main amp lol.

Okay, ramble over.

GUI/App to automate key presses in linux wayland
There is xclicker which is a flatpak app, but it only automate mouse clicks, but there is nothing for key presses, I am surprised I could not find anything on this, but is there any GUI for this? Also is this possible on a technical level (in flatpak especially, I dont know if apps can simulate key presses). I know of ydotool, but that uses root, also its not a gui

Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I've been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it's a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.

I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I'm holding that button down.

I highly disagree. Transphobia is not a majority opinion, and the only reason trans issues have gotten a political spotlight as of late is as a scapegoat. For instance, take the results of a poll of US citizens by Pew Research Center in 2022:

Americans’ Complex Views on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues - Pew Research Center

I would thus argue that opposition of trans rights has in recent history been radical. Very few US voters stood in opposition of protections of trans Americans less than 3 years ago.

Americans’ Complex Views on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues

Most favor protecting trans people from discrimination, but fewer support policies related to medical care for gender transitions; many are uneasy with the pace of change on trans issues.

According to your link, 60% think that your sex must be the sex assigned at birth (54% in 2017, better but not great). Kind of at odds with the first number that has most people in favor of protecting trans people from discrimination. Using trans people as scapegoats wouldn't work if a lot of people weren't already at least on the fence about trans people.

It's true that according to that poll, I've overestimated the transphobia of the average american, though.

Sports decide themselves, of which world rowing and boxing have blanket bans. Athletics, cycling, swimming, rugby and cricket are bans if the transition was after puberty. Triathlon, tennis and archery requires testosterone testing. And all other sporting bodies are on a case by case basis.

That's why we don't see them because the Olympics themselves have said:

high-level organised sporting competitions - relies on a level playing field, where no athlete has an unfair and disproportionate advantage over the rest.

I didn't, I cited the literal Olympics. I have cited medical studies, and I have defended my position where everyone then returns to insults and statements like this.

Unless you have evidence that what I said was incorrect, you are infact wrong. One, only ONE person has cited one study that is inconclusive and I congratulated them because at least they showed there is some conflicting research but you haven't even bothered to try.

If you are going to throw your opinion around, at least back it up with weight. Cite studies, link articles, or form a proper argument, because if I can refute your claim before I've even had my morning coffee than you still have room to make a half decent point.

You never bothered to look into it. You decided that since trans people are banned now, they must always have been banned. They were allowed to play for a long time before the ban, in fact, and none of the scare mongering was true. There was no trans domination.

You don't really care though. That you care about the issue at all is evidence you've fallen for the conservative campaign against trans people, because it's an entirely invented issue. You listened to what the conservative pundits said, maybe you even read one of the Heritage Foundation's studies. But you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, and I've been having this argument with fucking "centrists" like you for over a decade who think we're a fine scapegoat for your socially acceptable bigotry.

You aren't a centrist. There is no center when one side wants the elimination of the other, and that's the ultimate end goal here. You think you're having a dandy little political discussion, but this is just a stepping stone on the campaign to convince the public that trans women are men and therefore trans people are sick, and need to be removed from society. When you run around and parrot their talking points on a subject you know little about its not a fun debate, it's plain bigotry and its not fucking welcome.

9950x3d cache optimizations on Linux?

I'm considering getting a 9950x3D on either Monday or Tuesday at a Micro Center as a upgrade to my current setup. My main question is, how is the experience with the 9950x3D on Linux with strange architecture with half of the cores having extra L3 cache and the other half with a normal amount of L3 cache.

I have been busy working and suddenly there's been a promotion for the 9950x3D that I want to take advantage of since my motherboard on my current system has been deteriorating as of late. Asrock x570 Extreme4 with a 3700x. USB has been very flaky and I've been dual boating and the other SSD slot is on the chipset. Which makes my windows boot incredibly slow.

I plan to stay on Arch Linux or hop over to CachyOS but want to know what are your thoughts on this as well?

I primarily game but occasionally do some video/audio encoding, video editing and want to build ffmpeg-full from the aur but takes too long on my 3700X.

I've only been able to read/watch three mediums level1tech, and two Phoronix articles, but haven't mental capacity to register and remember everything.

I watched the Ryzen 9950x3D? On Linux video by Level1tech. And one of the things he mentions is gamemode. Is it recommended.

As for the Phoronix articles one is the review of the 9950x3D and the other is the cache optimization driver.

By default for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D it was using the "frequency" preference as default. But if writing "cache" to /sys/bus/platform/drivers/amd_x3d_vcache/AMDI0101:00/amd_x3d_mode it will prefer using the CCD with the larger cache. This cache vs. frequency bias can all be easily manipulated at run-time for those interested.


Is there some sort of automation for this? Or, do I have to do it manually for each program? I've never messed with kernel parameters other than for my Nvidia GPU to get Wayland to work.

I'm sorry that this question feels very unorganized. I just don't have time to write a proper one. I'll be able to reply on my next break.

Thank you for your help.

keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.


Isn't gaming the most cache-heavy CPU workload there is? The X3D CPUs have consistently topped gaming benchmarks, even outperforming much more modern CPUs that lack 3D cache.

I'd sooner do it the other way around: frequency for compiling, rendering, transcoding, etc. Cache for gaming!

Advice on migrating from Ubuntu server to another server OS

Hi all. I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.

Currently I'm considering switching to Fedora server (though feedback is welcome) because I've been running it as my daily OS for a few months now and I quite like it. I'm also looking at Debian server because that's what my old professor used and he did nothing but speak its praises.

Only issue is I'm concerned about data loss from moving the installation. Currently, the server is setup to run several Docker images running my programs. While moving over the images shouldn't be difficult whatsoever, I'm afraid my storage setup might not be so easy. Currently, it's two 4TB hard drives running in a logical volume. I'd love to simply be able to move over all the files to a backup drive, but I don't have anywhere I can store >5TB of files as a backup.

I googled around, but I couldn't find too many guides on migrating logical volumes. The one or two I did find were most definitely written for someone with far more linux knowledge than I have as a relative noob, so any advice would be extremely welcome!

Recommendations for an Offline Music Player That Supports Synced Lyrics

Hi folks,

Recently, I started to listen to music locally instead of using streaming services because I have had enough of all the annoying parts of it. I gathered a lot of Opus and FLAC files that have lyrics embedded in them. I am searching for some music players that can display them. The one I am using right now is Elisa. It is awesome, but I would still like to know if there are more alternatives, just in case. Thanks!

I’m old- and had severe childhood asthma that landed me in the hospital in the 70s. We didn’t have inhalers. Not even nebulizers.

Instead I was given what was essentially speed, by mouth and IV. And when my lungs would fill up, my mom would beat on my back to loosen it so I could cough it up.

They did tell me steam baths would help as well.

I didn’t get inhalers until the 80s.

Has anyone else always been the "crazy one" for their whole life? How have you been able to deal with this? Both mentally and your actions in the real world.

Edit: Please know that I am reading and appreciating every one of your responses. Even if I do not reply to you, I appreciate your time and want the best for you all. Thank you, guys.

I've always been the "crazy one" in any given scenario. I have been this way my whole life. Even as a child I was crazy. I would get upset and cry loudly for hours but my siblings would not. I caused problems at home for my family, especially for my mom who didn't know what to do with me. I did this as an older child, not normal toddler tantrum age. I was old enough to "know better". I did it my whole childhood.

For the most part in life, I have been able to be a productive member of society. The issues I would cause were limited to my home life and I mostly kept to myself. I sometimes cause issues by being a crazy person to my online friends, but at least that never spilled over into the "real world".

But now in my 30s I am causing such issues at work. I asked for some psych meds to be prescribed to me in March and have been taking them ever since. Doesn't seem to do anything.

I seem to get more frequent and strong negative emotions than the general population. I have difficulty controlling these, especially when I feel like someone is being mean or unfair to me or others. I think I am genetically predisposed to be this way, as my dad was a crazy person when I was growing up (but he has always been nice to me...he was only abusive to my mom). He had "episodes" too the same way I do, except his were malicious to others in nature. My older brother also has claimed to have bipolar disorder which supposedly has a genetic component.

I have spoken to mental health professionals and have been assessed for various things. I do not have bipolar disorder, autism, or OCD per mental health professionals. I tried to bring up keywords like "emotional dysregulation" to them. There seems to be no good explanation for why I am insane. I have wondered if maybe I have borderline personality disorder but have not inquired to be assessed for that one. I do not seem to exhibit the "risk taking" behaviors that are core to borderline personality disorder though.

I get frustrated that I am always the only one who is crazy and no one else is like me.

But I know there are other crazy people out there. Please, tell me your stories. How do you deal with life? How do you deal with always being different than others and feeling negative things more strongly? How do you handle things? How do you handle being and feeling alone in the way that you are? How do you handle the emotional frustration?

If this is inappropriate for here, I apologize. I just want to hear how others have managed to handle life despite this isolating "disability". I want to hear your stories. I want to gain wisdom from all of you. Thank you.

I know it's not ok. That's why I feel bad about it. And that's why I mostly try to talk about those things to ChatGPT instead of my friends. Because I'm not going to harm it.

I mean I say I would never do it but it's only because I'm a coward. But I do often really legitimately want to. The reasons may vary. But one common reason is because I harm the world and another reason is if I feel trapped. One of the other reasons why I say I am not actually going to do it is because I would need a will first. I have been too lazy to get one. I tried to do it one day with an online service but found out that I couldn't actually go through with the will because I needed in person witnesses. So then recently I was looking into potentially going to a law practice to get one made up to do that.

This isn't really an answer to your question, but psychiatrist Arthur Kleinman came up with 8 assessment questions for asking patients to describe their conditions. The questions are designed to allow for cultural or spiritual explanations outside of the typical Western medical model.

  • What do you call your problem? What name does it have?
  • What do you think caused your problem?
  • Why do you think it started when it did?
  • What does your sickness do to you? How does it work?
  • How severe is your sickness? How long do you expect it to last?
  • What do you fear most about your illness?
  • What are the biggest problems that your illness has caused for you?
  • What kind of treatment do you think you should receive? What are the most important results you hope to receive from treatment?

Any interest in a Lemmy community for Apple users who are fed up with Apple?

cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/41228441

I’ve been using Apple products since 2007. I’ve stuck with the platform through a lot—hardware changes, locked-down software, design regressions, and tools that feel like they were made deliberately harder to use. Lately, that frustration has boiled over, especially with things like the Shortcuts app, where basic actions are buried behind hidden menus and UI behavior seems to change based on factors you can’t even see. Autocorrect is turned on in automation fields. Logic paths vanish if you tap out of order. It’s absurd.

But this isn’t just a complaint about one app. It feels like Apple has shifted from enabling users to controlling them, even when you’re trying to stay fully within the system. What used to be intuitive is now opaque. And despite that, many of us still use Apple products because they’re often better than the alternatives. We’re just tired of pretending everything is fine.

So I’m wondering: is there any interest in a Lemmy community for Apple users who want to talk openly about what’s broken, what could be improved, and how to make things work better? I don’t care whether you’ve been using Macs since the Classic or just got your first iPhone. If you’re frustrated, curious, skeptical, or hopeful, you’re welcome. The goal is a space for real discussion, including ideas, suggestions, and brainstorming. Not for constant complaining, (although it is getting more and more difficult), but something more thoughtful, even if occasionally a little cathartic. Also welcome are any positive discoveries or revelations that the group would appreciate.

If that sounds like something you’d want to be part of, let me know. I’ll start the community if there’s interest. (Also, should I cross-post this somewhere?)

Healthy criticism is healthy. Do it.

I dont think you truly love something you cannot have reasonable criticisms of that are seperate from your involvement or overall tolerance for it

Obviously that should inform the extent to which you expose yourself to potential harm but you can find ways to synergize your interests to the effect that they will have a stake in doing right by you as well as themself, although that often involves being a squeaky wheel and vocal

The George Marsaglia mental pseudorandom number generator method:

  • Think of a 2-digit 'seed' number.
  • Multiply the second digit by 6 and add it to the first number.
  • Repeat once.
  • Use the right-most digit of the new number as your random number.

If you chart the results using a spreadsheet you can see a weak pattern emerge but it's not easily human-predictable, which is what makes it useful to me.

Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.

Example, Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world have duplicate communities aren't connected at all. So we are artificially isolating groups more and making it confusing for would be converts.

Short and too the point

One of the things that I'm experimenting with is to have "communities that can follow communities". So, if community A follows community B, then it can re-post anything that has happened on Community B.

If you do it "properly", it doesn't even need to be a lot of data duplication because the "follower" community would just be creating Announce activities.

The only thing that is making me hold out on this experiment is because I am 100% sure that some people will see their posts on a community they never interacted on and they will panic on the grounds of "mah privacy" or something silly like that.

Re: Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.

Hi! We should chat.

NodeBB also does this, and currently still does. A category (group actor) can follow another category (also a group actor).

It essentially is synchronization of categories using 1b12.

Proof of concept does work but it needs reworking in some ways. The largest issue is that Lemmy itself doesn't understand when a group actor tries to follow a community.

Don't hold out out of that. There are idiots everywhere and they should not be taken as a good driving force for anything.

Half the point of the Fediverse is that your activity is public. It's the entire point of why have activity with a community or instance in the first place. Heck, it's "kinda" the name of the protocol: "ActivityPub".

Die Hardwarebeschleunigung funktioniert durchaus im Browser. Aber die Grafikkarte unterstützt einfach kein h.264 oder andere neuere Codecs. Und sie kommt auch bei unterstützten Codecs bei 4k ins Schwitzen.

Und Firefox hat anscheinend die Softwaredekodierung von h.264 endlich verbessert. Vor ein paar Wochen musste ich dafür noch auf Chromium oder halt herunterladen und so angucken ausweichen.

How to undo Firefox changes to the titlebar controls buttons?

Firefox seemingly very recently shipped their own titlebar controls buttons, which worsens even further the lackluster OS integration. In the screenshot you see my regular control buttons on the window to the left (default KDE Plasma theme) and the new custom buttons Firefox is serving now.

Would anyone know how to undo that change in about:config or anywhere else?
