Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.

I’ve proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.

Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.

The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.

UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.

Your title should be “fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998” since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.

Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.

Or quit using his code altogether.

Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.

How exactly does this keyboard make the iPad “more like a laptop”? It’s a keyboard, we’ve had iPad keyboard forever. Needs OS support to allow more laptop-y features.

Uhh… if your script is subbing to 24k remote communities, those will continue to grow from then on, unless you start purging communities at some point. After one user subscribes to a community, all new content gets indexed and stored on your instance. Pict-rs can cache images short term (and eventually clear them out), but Postgres will start growing very quickly and never slow down until it fills up disks.

I’ve had access to 4 for several weeks and it’s not really much better. Maybe I’m just asking too much of it though.

Strongly disagree about gpt being excellent for code, it’s extremely confident about the wrong answer most of the time. I’ve found it to be mildly useful as a Stack Overflow alternative (for asking general questions and having it point me in some direction) but it’s code outputs are garbage.

These instructions won’t work in anyone’s unraid box, even if they compile compose from source. Not sure why people think posting random chatGPT’d instructions is remotely useful.

Probably, it’d be pretty stupid not to put his ex-Twitter engineers on the Threads projects. But it’s entirely legal to have your employees work on something close to what they did at their last job. I’d be very, very surprised if Meta knowingly allowed stolen IP to be incorporated into their new product, Musk needs to provide some evidence to back his claims.

What “trade secrets” does he claim were stolen? Obviously ex-Twitter employees who move to Meta know their tech stack. But there’s not a chance that their codebases are compatible so even if someone directly carried cover over from Twitter to a new job at Meta, it’s not like it would be useful.

And if he thinks current Meta employees are still accessing Twitter IP/code/etc, Elon probably needs to first look internally and maybe not fire entire security & compliance teams.

I use Deemix/Deemon to track hundreds of artists and automatically grab new releases in FLAC from Deezer. It’s slightly manual compared to my *arr stack with its Discord bot, but just a quick copy/paste from Discord/etc into a command.

Personally I have a Deezer Hi-Fi sub to get the flac’s, not sure if their API is still wide open for MP3s or not. It used to be open for anything without a paid account.

I use Internetbs.net, sometimes Name.com if they have a particular TLD way cheaper.

I’m just letting mine do whatever it wants, got plenty of local storage. If/when I have storage issues I’ll add an s3 bucket, pretty easy to modify the entrypoint for pictrs to pass s3 connection info in the docker-compose deployment.

I’ve got a baremetal server with OVH running VMware, so it’s just a VM that I manage. I’m paying more for it than I’d like, but it’s running far more than just Lemmy. If I wind up ditching it in the future, it’s just a quick vMotion off to another machine + DNS updates.

Here’s a current output of my storage about a week into hosting the instance. It’s growing slower than I expected, and I do have plans to move volumes/pictrs up to an s3 bucket whenever I start running low on local storage.

[jon@lemmy lemmy]# du -sh volumes/*
2.5G    volumes/pictrs
2.2G    volumes/postgres

I would recommend locking down SSH on your Lemmy server, I have mine restricted to allow logins from VPN only. Otherwise you’ll get probed 24/7 with a public server.
