For most teams selfhosting on 1U is more than enough which would cost about 1200€/year for housing + let's say 1800€/year for hardware acquisition/depreciation (probably more like 300€/year if you can work with seco

The question is do you trust a healthy user-empowering ecosystem will form around a VC-fueled corporation that controls 97+% of the bluesky network? https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/

> This can be a good tradeoff. That's a good tradeoff for durable hardware with available spare parts. That's not a good tradeoff for hardware that was designed so it cannot be repaired, such as newer Macs.

OS LTS support barely matters when planned obsolescence is baked in at the hardware level. Wearing parts (eg. SSD) are soldered on newer macs and there's intensive efforts to make sure even if you have the tools you can't repair i

I don't have a horse in this race, but "incompatible room types" is precisely an issue i encountered on a selfhosted server. Agreed, that was for S2S federation and not C2S, but that was an issue.

Yes, but i haven't met someone who uses Pidgin in more than 5 years. Still, the pidgin team appears to be alive and their blog is always a good read! https://pidgin.im/post/

You are living in a bubble. I've never used LLM helpers, and in my circle nobody does willingly . Those who are forced by their bosses to use such tools really enjoy in their free time coding by hand without a stupid robot watching ov

I'm a little disappointed, because your comment made it look great, but when i look at >1000 commits in 2 months and inspect a few commits randomly, it looks like 100% slopware. The concept is marvelous, but i'm 100% not trusti

When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, good luck figuring out why. When you fork a project, it's really not clear in the UI why it's stalling (because it uses your configured runner, i.e. none, not the project

Had the same experience, but the import feature works really well (with `ALLOWED_DOMAINS = *` in app.ini). Bad news is i had to do this individually for each repo. Good news is it went great and fast, even for private repos.

Here in France, anecdata from friends working in non-profits. So-called "DEI" is far from a requirement for grants, and depending on the administration may in fact be a factor to get rejected. That being said, everyone in the asso

To be clear, when i said we need controls on the handlebars, i was talking about an "assist level setting" like you have on the app, not a throttle. I had this on all my electric bikes: a button and a small LCD to indicate assist

I was shocked by the price, too. I mean a motor and a battery can't be so expensive, especially such a "small" battery (300Wh). That being said, having driven electric bikes for a while, here in France they're ridiculous

1. In the scenario i'm mentioning, there's no LLMs being deployed at all for end users. Social networks, netflix-style video and email fits in a single rack for thousands of people (tens of thousands?). 2. Yes. That's already

Very simple. Out of 9000 garbage assessment, you end up with one correct proof, which from what i read is not really human-readable/elegant as such. This is to be expected out of a slop machine that has no notion of higher level concep

That's working under the (imo wrong) assumption that LLMs are what we need/want. First, because pushing toward the user can happen as shared hosting in your municipality and doesn't have to be in every home. Second, because i

From what i understand `DIRS` is only for the top-level app. I couldn't find a way to apply it to inner apps (eg. `auth`, `order`, `etc`). I'd be happy if you know the way i don't have to rename all the template folders!
