  • Does piefed image proxy by default? I noticed the homepage for lemmy.today is really heavy since the proxy'd images seem to be full resolution. I ask this since that thread is about people saying piefed runs smoother they said image proxy is by default on lemmy due to CSAM issues. The network utilization blogpost also seems kind of disingenuous since it puts equal weight on the network utilization on javascript, image compression, and a bad api pattern by the lemmy dev. Through those are issues it seems like its 99% you guys more heavily downscale the images vs lemmy.world (Though I like your guy's solution better).

    Do you also manage the piefed.social servers? What kind of cpu/bandwidth/memory utilization do you guys run for the instances serving the api gateway, am curious about the infra setup in general.

  • when was the last such case

  • People will surrender all ownership if you can provide more content more cheaper and conveniently, ownership is much lower on most people's priority than convenience

  • GILless python is a good point it makes python scaling alot better. Though every python service ive maintained or created in the long term I always wish I never used python. I understand the calculus though for using the python, reason feels somewhat outdated in the modern world of AI coding imo.

    Actually as an aside how much of the code is created by AI

  • Arch is truly just a gamblers distro

  • damn was born the wrong color. Unfortunate

  • its kind of crazy how much I used to use the AUR, Was just randomly running randoms peoples scripts to install packages.

  • where do people live where people just talk to each other in public, I feel like I need to move their.

  • I live in the USA and it fine? Maybe its a walmart thing though I never go to walmart

  • Actually to expand on this, you can kind of do the opposite, for example you can launder federated social media if that federated social also contains something people actually want. Then relying on network effect/cultural inertia to keep you relevant

  • Curious, whats a "better world" to you?

  • Maybe not what you wanted but why did you pick Python and Flask? More interested in the flask part over say fastAPI. In companies that I worked for apps that use Flask always end up running into limitations with the framework and we end up having to build things on top of it. Obviously the biggest thing from what I remember Flask only supports wsgi ? so you kind of lack true async support.

  • crack walked so fent could run

  • its simply a federated powergrid

  • Joe Rogan is secretly the worlds first LLM, as you can tell it was a prototype

  • My work just handed me a laptop then let me flash whatever distro I wanted onto it

  • Welcome to the club!

  • Ive kind of noticed how we essentially use fancy tech to solve problems we already have solutions for.

    What I find interesting about the framing of this, aswell as how docker is framed as a whole, is that its essentially just the argument for static linking (So some extent also deterministic builds). You can get alot of the benefits of "shipping your computer" without needing an OS that supports cgroups and all this other stuff. Containers existed for a long time until docker was able to essentially push it as a packaging format. Now yes containers ARE useful but I think what we were really doing was trying to get rid of distro dependency management, but we could only do it through the lens of a fancy new technology.

  • Maybe if we bring back Bernie math we convince Donnie we deported all the immigrants already?
