Removal of piracy communities
  • Complacency isn't a legitimate defense against criminal activity and corporations are extremely litigious over piracy. Would you rather lemmy.world spend all their money on fighting lawsuits, or building a better instance?

    Any community that is creating questionable content should create their own instance and not seek open federation with the entire fediverse. That kind of behavior is reckless and counterproductive to what we're trying to do here.

  • Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) - Keep your small instance from growing too large for your disks.
  • Where can we suggest improvements?

    This could be a very powerful tool if the right options are added. One of the things I'd like to see is the ability to set an upvote or comment threshold. If posts were popular, I would like to keep them. If, however, a post received very little upvotes and had little interaction, there's not much value in keeping it. And I'm talking about all interactions here, not just from members of our own instances.

    This doesn't seem like a very hard thing to implement and would be well received.

  • Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money
  • I'm attempting this migration on an instance that has been running for about a month, is federated with the top 10+ instances and has synced a lot of data.

    The steps I'm using are as follows:

    stop docker: sudo docker stop domainname_pictrs_1

    run docker-compose to open a session in the stopped container: sudo docker-compose run pictrs sh

    run the cmdlet to migrate pictrs via https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/#filesystem-to-object-storage-migration

    When this runs, it appers to be trying to sync like... all of the lemmy fediverse... to my object storage:

    2023-08-13T17:55:44.426301Z WARN pict_rs: Running checks

    2023-08-13T17:55:45.188984Z WARN pict_rs: Checks complete, migrating store

    2023-08-13T17:55:45.275403Z WARN pict_rs: 56963 hashes will be migrated

    Most of these fail, and I'm trying to run it again with --skip-missing-files , but based on what I'm seeing I don't know if this is really something that can be done once an instance has federated with a lot of other instances.

    Am I missing something?

    Edit: with --skip-missing-files its telling me that it's going to take 23403 seconds (6.5 hours) to complete this migration.

    When I look into the bucket, I see all kinds of random images being migrated over, so it's definitely storing pretty much every image that my instance has ever synced. Is there a way to just migrate content that originated on my instance?

  • What Star Citizen mechanic are you most looking forward too?
  • I'm all about medical!

    What we have now is a huge step forward from before, but there are so many parts of medical gameplay that we haven't even scratched the surface of. I hope CIG does it justice!

  • Is it possible to reverse this tool?
  • Maybe a better idea is a service that has a centralized list of instances and their communities. Allow any instance/community to opt into advertising their link to this service.

    Then any instance that wants to pull down the full list can opt in and sync their bot. Because everyone is syncing the same list, everyones bot would be subscribed to the same things.

    I think maybe the best idea would be able to let communities opt into different types of lists like news, memes, tech, gaming, etc. That way instances/communities could choose what types of communities to sync with if they have very specific purposes.

  • Can't wait for Starfield
  • This is honestly not a bad idea.

    I'm not sure about mods, but if the game is modable, it gives you a year for all that to be created and your experience is going to be way better.

  • TV producers wanted AI rights of extras forever, says union
  • I don't really see a problem with this. Is it so much different from making a good 3D model?

    We're talking about assets that will be used for generating massive crowds. That's already done with CGI. These scans aren't even "AI"... they're just like metahumans in Cryengine.

    This guy just put the term AI on it because it freaks everyone out.

    If you take the $200 for a motion and body scan and you sign your rights away, that's what you get. This isn't a change to how Hollywood already operations. Fear-mongering for nothing.

  • Meta Threads engagement has dropped 50% in a week
  • 100 million isn't that much when it comes to Meta. There's over 2 billion "active" Instagram users that all were prompted to download the app. That means only 0.005% of Instagram accounts fell for it.

    I have no doubt that at least that many people tried it out. When I went to the Android App store, Meta was paying for a front and center promotion of Threads.

  • Share why you're still a Star Citizen
  • I'm one of those people that's mostly waiting for SQ42 :D I really loved Freelancer and those style of space games. The PU is fun, but I'm really looking forward to a good storyline and to see how the acting from all these A-list stars turns out.

    I saw some clips from the leaks last year that look amazing and my hype levels are way up again. I still have my hopes up that they'll eventually show something new at Citizencon because the little we've seen is insane good!

  • TIL lemmy.ml is a pro-authoritarian CCP shill instance
  • It's important to note that Lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmygrad. So while there may be some of the same people involved, the instance as a whole is run correctly.

    I can't really tell the truth behind all this drama, because there seems to be a pretty dedicated group of people trying to slander lemmy.ml, but I've never seen anything unreasonable out of them.

    At this point, I honestly think it's a hit-squad paid by Reddit to discredit Lemmy.
