This post is written as if there’s only one “community”. Why does there need to be a primary? I’m here and I’m happy. If I have questions I search online or ask here, same as any other community

It’s very hard to convince people that fedi is a healthy place when the default servers are incredibly toxic. I wish they would at least advertise it as such, maybe hide the default from the number one spot. There are several servers up there that accept users that are way more chill.

Also for new selfhosters making it easier to say “these are some problem instances that are commonly blocked, if you want to start out with them”. I know that starts a new problem of “but then who decides” and it causes more splintering, but for a lot of posters it’s overwhelming the firehouse of vitriol that comes in at first.

I had a friend who I was close with for many years, she always had high aspirations, talked to me almost daily about all of the things she wanted to do. Things were like having large career aspirations, moving to a big city, seeing the world, traveling.

Then she got married, and bought a house 15 minutes from her parents, and had 3 kids, all within 5 years. Her career is a standard midwest white woman job and her travel consists of visiting family one state over and going to Disney World once every 5 years or so. We drifted apart, I did end up moving to a big city, I chose a career and travel over having kids, but I think about her every once in a while.

Were those choices hers? Were they compromises? Did society pressure her into a certain life, or did she truly want to change her life for it? Were the things she talked about just dreams, or did she not believe she could accomplish them. I don’t feel pity or anger, but I do wonder why she made the choices she did. I guess I hope she’s happy and that she lives her life without regrets. Everyone who chooses that life says adamantly they never regretted it, but do they really mean it? No regrets at all?

Mass Effect 1 Noveria

Seconded with Matrix. All I’m wanting for it is for someone to make a Discord/Revolt UI frontend for Matrix 2.0 and it’ll be a drop in replacement

That is weird, so you’ve tried the exact same setup with a different TV and it worked?

I wonder if it’s the resolution, or maybe HDR settings? What is different about the other TV if it works there? 1080p only? I’m just spitballing trying to get gears moving

And then Sutler will do the only thing he knows how to do

That’s the funny thing, on paper his policies work out quite well for myself. I just have this stupid thing where I care about what happens to other people. If I could turn that off then it would be great! Instead I voted to, you know, help the poor, help those in need, to minimize inequality. They apparently voted to give me tax cuts. It’s honestly insane, did they really think he was going to help them?

We challenged the status quo, wanting positive change.

They offered discounts on gas.

Good! I’d be sad to see you folks leave

Try going the other route, and explicitly subscribing to content you enjoy. From what I read you aren’t alone, that all is a firehouse and it’s not all fun. Subscribed to me is a much chiller experience

Do you use all or subscribe to things? I have a good list of communities and I honestly don’t see much if any politics

while leadership pitches a return to single-player following its live service misstep

How much in executive bonuses was handed out for coming to that conclusion.

I mean it’s not like the actual consumers have been screaming that in their faces for years.

Interesting how all of the studios keep trying to make cheaper and easier games and they say the industry is tougher than ever - but the studios who put time and care into their games seem to be doing fine

Good, how is it going over there at feddit.uk? I forgot the last owner just kind of ghosted

That’s what I’ve come around to. It’s not him. He’s a figurehead that we apply blame but it’s not. It’s the people - the public. They want this. They have the fear and the hate, they actively want it. If America didn’t want him, they wouldn’t have voted him in. Even with tampering/whatever, if America didn’t, he wouldn’t be there. But America does want him, and that’s a very sobering and sad thought to me. I try to live with a simple code - do what you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt others. I learned yesterday that most American’s don’t have similar values.

Oh yeah, critical component. And vram, in fact I would only consider LLMs on a 3000+ card right now, they require quite a bit of vram

I’ve changed man, since then. I don’t know how I feel about the Democrats, but I’m devastated over who voted Republican. So many people in this country voted for him. It wasn’t just we had low turnout, but also just that he had so much. That’s the disheartening thing for me, that still, with everything we know, he still carries 50% of this country easily. So yeah, we had too few, but worse, he has too many.

NVidia is great in a server, drivers are a pain but do-able. I have a 3000 series that I use regularly and pass into my kubernetes cluster. NVidia on a gaming rig linux is fine, but there is more overhead with the drivers.

AMD is great in gaming servers, but doesn’t have CUDA, so it’s not as useful in a server environment in my experience - if you’re thinking of doing CUDA workloads like hosting LLMs.

1060 will be a noticeable step in Jellyfin

DNS is of course the preferred approach
