I wonder if we need 'aggregate communities' where communities across instances can agree to share a set of rules and guidelines. You still have to pick which community to post in but the content itself can be browsed like one large community, similar to a 'multireddit'.

Not sure if this would work in practice but it could be a way to merge communities across instances. It's been something I've been thinking about to address fragmentation without solving it by centralizing around one big platform.

It's going to be really difficult to get most people used to the idea of decentralized federated services.

My dongers have never been higher.

I think a combination of 3d animation and 'ai postprocessing' is probably the most effective result.

As much as I respect the rights of extras, they are expensive and easier to replace than lead actors. Disney already has things setup so extras never have to be on set with your lead actors, although you get a lot of backgrounds with 'people just walking back and forth with no purpose', but a bit more effort will mean those prefilmed backgrounds wont even require human actors, they barely do already.

Wow, yeah this is exactly the sort of roles/playbooks that I've been building. I'm definitely using this as a source before starting my own from scratch. Thanks for sharing.

I'm actually doing both right now since I had quite a huge compose file that I haven't converted to ansible yet. The biggest frustration I have is that there doesn't seem to be an ansible module that works with compose v2 (the official plugin) which means I'm either stuck on the old version of compose or I have to use shell commands to run stuff like 'docker compose up -d'.

One nice thing I've gained though is for services like Plex. I have an 'update' playbook that I use and it will check to see if Plex is actively streaming before updating the container which isn't something I could do easily with compose.

Hahaha, I've been using ChatGPT in the exact same way. It requires a bit of double-checking but it really speeds things up a lot.

I've started replacing my docker compose files with pure ansible that is the equivilent of doing docker run. My ansible playbooks look almost exactly like my compose file but they can also create folders, set config files or cycle services when configs are updated.

It's been a bit of a learning process but it's replaced a lot what was previously documentation with code instead.

I sharewared my firmware and got malware.

I'd recommend Duck DNS over Free DNS these days.

And Wireguard over OpenVPN.

But yes, this is the easiest free way to stand up a solid website. Only other thing I'd add is to put sites and services behind a reverse proxy. Typically I've used Nginx but I'm quickly becoming a Caddy convert.

I believe this has more to do with pict-rs than Lemmy (the image handling back end that Lemmy uses). I'm struggling to find specifics on this from my phone right now though.

I think Web 2.0 is coming to an end because we've seen a decade of web sites and services balloon to enormous sizes with absolutely no sustainable business model. They finally peaked with their userbase, there is nowhere else to grow. Now it's time to start making money. So how do you do that without ruining the experience and driving everyone off to the next big thing?

Not my problem I suppose.

I had a great time with Death Stranding even though at certain points the story was so dumb it actually made me angry.

I just imagine Kojima trying to explain to Mads about time travel rain that makes you old and babies that are half dead that can sense the ghosts so that you don't die because when you die you explode and that there are also lots of whales made out of goo and that Mads is a soldier but also a baby and then Norman Reedus--

All while Mads is wearing a mocap suit and nodding with a confused look. "So I stand here?"

"Yeah you stand there."

Comedy gold.

Flatpaks are here to stay but they can exist alongside traditional packages.

Tor was really struggling and I wasn't looking forward to learning how to use something else safely. I2P was such a massively huge improvement at least for my use case.

If you're being honest here you should know that the way you are speaking about these topics is very Russocentric. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but it makes me wonder about your news diet. I understand why people think you might be acting in bad faith.

I never really cared about them tacking on a bunch of useless shit on top of Reddit. As a third-party-app and old.reddit user I kind of figured that if they monitized that piece and let me hang out in the underbelly then it wasn't really a problem. Why not have the normies subsidize the denizens of the old reddit, it's not like we aren't using adblock anyway.

But now that they've killed off the API it's only a matter of time before the come for old.reddit so I'm out before they get around to it.

I built out this GarHAge setup which uses magnetic reed switches for state detection. I've considered that a reed switch getting bumped might get it stuck in a loop of endlessly opening and closing though and tried to care for that possibility in my automations.

Really I just need to get an IP camera for piece of mind when I'm traveling. Even if the state detection is broken I can ensure that it's closed and disable the automation until I can repair it.

I think you've just described the nature of copyright law, which is effective in some ways and ineffective in others.
