Looks delicious, I’ll give it a try one of these days, thanks for sharing!

there should be awards for doing math on the internetz, here’s the best I can do 🏆

this really needs more circulation because too goddamn many people still believe his PR

you’re a good uncle and he’s lucky to have you, thanks for sharing your story

pretty sure this website can do it

I really like this perspective, thanks for sharing!

This is exactly it, open source is not just the availability of the machine instructions, it’s also the ability to recreate the machine instructions. Anything less is incomplete.

It strikes me as a variation on the “free as in beer versus free as in speech” line that gets thrown around a lot. These weights allow you to use the model for free and you are free to modify the existing weights but being unable to re-create the original means it falls short of being truly open source. It is free as in beer, but that’s it.

you’re a good dad

It’s from a Studio Ghibli film, Porco Rosso.

It’s a wonderful movie and I think it’s themes and messages are ever more relevant as we witness a rise in fascist governments around the world.

I thought the same thing initially but modern video codecs, plus the developer’s plan to limit the videos to 30 seconds actually seem feasible. Large Lemmy and mastodon servers are also pricy to run but the community finds a way, I think it’ll be the same for Loops.

Loops is a TikTok clone in the same way pixelfed is an Instagram clone. It’s an app and a backend server setup with activitypub. You can sign up now to the developer’s instance if you’re interested. After signup you get access to the beta app. It’ll probably hit the app store in a few weeks/months depending on how fast the developer can get it done.

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

Serious note here, that’s a really cool shot, is it from a movie? Does anyone have a source?

Yakuake for life baby, it’s the best, fully customizable, some really beautiful presets out there. My sweet spot is full screen but with 70ish percent opacity so I can read what’s behind it. Pull up your tutorial or walkthrough or whatever in a browser, hit f12 and goooooo.

Uprooted for a zardoz reference, Sean Connerey had never had such a distinguished wardrobe as that.

Kissing the ring, like all the others

😁 true that

I know better than to assume that anything posted to 4chan actually happened, but I also know from personal experience that moments just like this one DO happen to people. So even if this particular story is a fiction or was intended to serve some other purpose, it’s portraying a familiar moment for many people and I wanted to acknowledge that and encourage people to seek better help.
