Sadly I think in the next 5 years, as LLMs get cheaper and more accessible, there will be nowhere left like this. Nowhere that you can have an anonymous old school conversation using a text interface with the expectation that you are talking to real people.

Maybe there will be some magic anti-AI tech, but I can’t think of a way you could implement that without trashing anonymity.

If Lemmy was as popular as Reddit it would get flooded with bots and turn to shit in no time

Are you still using Sailfish? I used it for about 5 years but eventually caved in and switched to GrapheneOS.

I wish the tablet had made it, I feel like it would be an easier market to break into as the app gap matters less.

Those are also good reasons, i.e. more than just “I disagree”

It’s supposed to be for bad faith posts/comments not just for disagreement

Did you not switch to Nextcloud a while back?

It’s when you loved reading something, but you’re finished now and it’s all over, time to move on.

Not a bad idea, however I’ve had problems with some of the firmware (I think, maybe it’s the kernel) on external HDDs causing them to power off when not in use for long periods of time. For some reason it doesn’t happen with internal drives so it must be the enclosure or the way the system deals with the drive.

I’ve had the drive on my kodi box fail a couple of times now, it’s annoying. Torrenting probably puts a lot of wear on the drive though so it’s to be expected.

I have two old NUCs, one DN2820FYK with an Intel Celeron N2830, and another D54250WYKH with an Intel Haswell i5-4250U. The former can only take one drive but the latter can have an mSATA as well as a 2.5" SATA. I’d like to use the latter with root on the mSATA SSD and a 2TB HDD for media in the 2.5" SATA, but for some reason I get better video playback on the Celeron than the Haswell. Both are supposed to have hardware acceleration for h264 and the Haswell is a more powerful processor so I don’t understand it!

Future incidents probably will still happen, but when you develop in the open it’s much easier for people to trust you when you talk about incident response and mitigation, because they can see what’s happening out in the open. In contrast, nobody trusts Reddit to do what they say.

You two should start a new community
