Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Stoat self-hosting: Instance invites?English
19·1 day agoSelf hosting Stoat is a nightmare at the moment.
Only the webUI works out of the box, if you want the phone app you need to compile it yourself.
At least the desktop app now supports connecting to custom instances, but it’s by launch option, not the GUI.
All that said, my understanding was that you give the code to your friends, and they have to enter it during signup.
Enabling invite-only doesn’t remove the signup functionality, it adds authentification, so only people with the invite code can pass.
Interestingly, if you deport everyone except the president, the crime rate skyrockets to 100%.
Oh, what’s the speedtest server?
I’ve not run into that yet myself, but I’d love to have one of those.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime?
6·5 days agoI see you don’t need more convincing.
Dungeon Meshi has one of the more populated communities on Lemmy, !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.
It’s mostly just fanart as we’re between seasons, but the episodes discussion threads are likely to be quite active again once the second season starts.

World News@lemmy.world•Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald TrumpEnglish
33·5 days agoYup.
It makes you think about not just where you point it, but everything it might “slice” as you handle it.
Or even how you set it down, or move around one sitting on a table.

Essentially always pretend there’s a deadly and infinite laser coming from the muzzle.

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you dieEnglish
2·6 days agoBad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let’s not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?

144·6 days agoHe was gonna teach her gun safety, with a loaded gun while not respecting trigger discipline or the laser rule?
I’d say that’s “a likely story” but the man’s a Trumper so it’s exactly the kind of stupid I’d expect.

Games@lemmy.world•Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay TrailerEnglish
3·7 days agoI have.
But Redout isn’t big enough to bring a lot new AG players in.
This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will.
And that’s the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it’s mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.

Games@lemmy.world•Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age VerificationEnglish
17·8 days agoYou can nest spaces.
A space is just a group of channels. So to get groups of channels inside the space, you just create “spaces” inside the space.
This is how my discord servers show up in my matrix accounts since I use discord via a bridge.

Games@lemmy.world•Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay TrailerEnglish
29·8 days agoI literally don’t care that it’s star wars.
I’m just happy to see AG racing still be alive.
WipEout and F-Zero are gone, seemingly never to return.
But there are no hacks required to install it on old hardware.
Yes there are.
If you used rufus or ventoy, you’ve just applied them without knowing.
Unmodified Windows 11 ISOs will refuse to install on any hardware with a CPU older than Ryzen 3000 or Intel 8000.
In fact there are less hacks required to install / upgrade to windows 11 then there are to install any Linux distro.
What?
On the vast majority of systems, the vast majority of linux distros will install and run with zero “hacks” of any kind. Literally just boot the ISO as-is and have at it.
genuine copy of windows will receive all and any updates
No. On many machines, while windows will install just fine due to the modifications to the installer applied by rufus/ventoy, the yearly major version updates can fail catastrophically.
A lot of hardware will update without issue, but there ABSOLUTELY is risk.
Windows is just an os. As long as it is compiled for the correct CPU architecture, it is just as supported as any other hardware. The hardware is supported by individual drivers, normally provided by the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.
You are confusing functional, and supported.
Something can “technically still work” without being officially supported.
Not being supported means Microsoft can make breaking changes in updates, because they made no promises your hardware would be accounted for in the future.
Just because it works today, no longer means it will tomorrow.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Why replacing Google One with a NAS didn’t work for me
17·8 days agoI don’t think everyone should self-host. This person was certainly in over their head.
Synology likes to pretend that it’s easy, but doing it right in the ways that make it actually superior to something like Google Drive, is not.
It would be nice if everyone could know someone, who does run one.
Why have a NAS per person, when you can have one per family, friend group, or workplace?
Sadly that will lead to some people relying on hardware that WILL fail in ways that means lost data. Tons of small scale users does mean a lot of people who won’t quite know what they should know about how to do it.
I mean I’ll play a PS2 game instead of eating, period.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If other stars burn out, than will the sun burn out too?
7·10 days agoThat’s not quite right. Our sun has never gone nova, and is a fairly young main sequence star. It’s still in the first “main sequence” of fusion after accumulating from scattered matter. It’s heavy enough to do fusion, but not heavy enough to really “properly” go boom at the end (or to have done so in the past).
While novas form heavy elements, the originating star either becomes a neutron star or black hole. Sol, our sun, is a a “normal” star (though above average brightness) which means it won’t properly go nova. It’ll just “burn out” and become a white dwarf.
The matter ejected by a Nova flies out into the universe and falls in the gravity wells of other Solar systems. So our heavy elements likely hail from millions of other past stars.
