No problem!

home.arpa

Yes, I’ve been using this too. Here’s the RFC for .home.arpa (in place of .home): https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8375.html

Thanks!

It still does? They have a version for people with internet access, and a version for people without, with a heavy dose of offline applications and information. You can also download more offline resources after you install it.

Thank you, that makes sense. I figure that separation provided by VMs and containers is also a security advantage, in case the software in them has vulnerabilities.

Thanks again.

Thank you. Is the only reason that you run it in containers for the easy reproducibility, or is there any other reason that you want that separation from the bare metal OS?

Thank you. So the advantage of the isolation of LXC for you is to be able to tinker with the service without affecting the host.

I didn’t realize that! I haven’t watched either documentary yet, at least not fully.

For anyone interested in learning more, there’s a behind the scenes documentary about Fitzcarraldo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_Dreams

Edit: I forgot to mention there is also a documentary about the tumultuous relationship between Herzog and Kinski: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Fiend

I’ve been using LosslessCut for a few years now. It’s really easy and smooth. It does exactly what I want and what the name says, and I couldn’t ask for more.

This is the first I’ve heard of “a couple of devs are shutting out large numbers of contributors (frequently subject matter experts which they desperately need at this point) over relatively trivial issues” and “Lemmy has an awful reputation even among the rest of the fediverse and particularly among people who have tried to contribute”.

Can you give a summary or examples? I’m not trying to argue, but would just like to know more. I don’t follow Lemmy development more closely than reading the dev summaries they post, so wasn’t aware of any of this.

Thank you! I had had the same issue forever and this fixed it!

But yes, to your point, I have a somewhat controversial theory that given enough time, relatively niche proprietary software like Unity will not be able to compete with open-source software (if the latter is well-managed). Look at the growth that Blender has had over the last few years and what effect that has had in the 3D creation market. It seems that the game engine market is going to follow similar footsteps if Godot doesn’t fall into some major pitfall.

I saw a comment, probably on Mastodon, from an author saying that (I believe) ChatGPT had plagiarized some of his work verbatim. I don’t recall if it was a work of fiction or not, although for the purpose of copyright it doesn’t matter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s trained on works of fiction just as much as non-fiction though. I think that from what I’ve heard, you can ask ChatGPT to write something in the style of particular writers? If it’s possible to give a very specific prompt for it to write something with the same plot points as a Stephen King story in the style of Stephen King, I wonder just how close it would look like the original?

I had heard some mentions of this before too, but didn’t recall the exact references. I went searching and found this recent study.

There are lawsuits everywhere

It’s not just style. From what I understand (I’ve never used any of the generative AI tools), they supposedly can and do output chunks of text verbatim from copyrighted works.

For sure. The growing pains haven’t been too bad for me either. I think that things will definitely get better with Lemmy.

You’re welcome.

Does anyone know if this is not just some sort of preliminary step before federating between the two?

Yeah, unfortunately that is a thing. Example:

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/collapse@lemmy.ml (lemmy.sdf.org’s local view of Collapse @ lemmy.ml) shows 22 subscribers. In effect, this is the number of people on lemmy.sdf.org who have subscribed to this remote community.

https://lemmy.ml/c/collapse (the original/direct view of Collapse @ lemmy.ml) shows 2.11k subscribers. I don’t know whether this number shows only subscribers from lemmy.ml or an aggregate of all subscribers across the fediverse.

Unfortunately, another issue even if the count on the direct link to the community is an aggregate, is that it’s probably not counting people who are stuck in a “subscribe pending” state. A ton of the communities I subscribed to weeks ago still show in this state on my communities page. I understand that what this means is that I’m subscribed on my end so that everything works for me, but the original community hasn’t acknowledged my subscription, so I expect that this means it also doesn’t count me as a subscriber.
