First I’ve heard of Virpus but thanks for the heads up. More than 50% packet loss does not sound like a working infrastructure, much less one that should be marketed to consumers.

I’m with you. 720p unless I can’t find lower than 1080 — for my setup there isn’t much point. The TRaSH guide parameters make my head ache thinking how much I’d be shelling out on bandwidth and storage for no discernible difference on my home theatre.
I’ve had good experience stitching parts together with handbrake. Honestly, it’s much easier than importing to an editing suite (and getting the export settings right 😬).
TL;DR — Ghost started out as a WordPress alternative but gradually moved to focus on newsletter formats (at which point, see u/maegul’s reply), and the dev team have worked on implementing ActivityPub for a good while now.
From what I can tell Ghost is a really mature project with a lot of traction. I think having a federated newsletter platform is an interesting addition to the fediverse.
Wow. All artists throughout history just facedesked at that comment.
So, car factories have used custom built robots on assembly lines for decades, I want to say close to a half century? Why on earth would anybody want to replace those with humanoid robots other than, I dunno, having severed ties with reality to live out his days in a deluded fantasy?
This is as great example of Musk’s “”“genius”“” as that time he decided to move a Twitter data centre with the help of his own incapable hands, a cousin and some homeless people.
Important difference between you and an ML model: you can enjoy that art (YMMV), the ML never will.
There is a similar distinction between artists and galleries putting artwork to the public, and corporations auto-scraping billions of artwork for a statistical engine to mass produce qualitatively lesser versions.
You forget all the images that “AI” models are trained on without consent or payment. Plus as you say, that training could result in the same artists losing work. Double theft, of IP and future income.
Art theft
I mean, they’re not wrong but … since they’re also hacking people their motives seem kind of mixed.
Oh, like online piracy. Got it! 🤣
You could check out HTML5UP for some simple, well designed site templates. For your needs, maybe something like the Astral template will do?
Agreed. Most people online think having a personal website on their own domain is too much of a hassle, they won’t have the knowledge or time to setup a homelab server.
We need more of the nice people you mention — with the tech knowhow and surplus of time — to maintain community services as alternatives to corporate platforms. I see a few co-op services around where member-owners pay a fee to have access to cloud storage and social platforms; that is one way to ensure the basic upkeep of such a community. I’m not sure how Chatons is financed but they certainly have a wide range of libre and private offerings!
You say that with such certainty, as if proof of stake schemes won’t simply be a greenwashing alibi for accelerating validation of currencies using them, to the point of the same carbon footprint as POW.
You’re simply wrong to say that POS is without environmental impact, even Ethereum’s carbon reductions were only that (and not nearly as high as they claimed).
Okay, sorry for the sarcasm. I think there is a certain overlap in the language used around general privacy principles and the more… out there, political anti-society movements.
Sometimes it’s innocent and random but when I see somebody putting cryptocurrency up front in their project and using “sovereign computing” as a tagline, my internal crackpot detector goes nuts. I’m fairly sure that deep down these people would want to see the world burn to stay warm toward the end.
The title literally says “Sovereign computing”. Are you okay? I do recommend reading from the top down, for more information please re-read.
It’s been a buzzword among the ultra-libertarian, anti-government, tinfoil hat wearing set for decades.
True. Tipi, Umbrel and CasaOS are savvy enough to do this. But do you really want to teach more cryptobros to slip their message under the threshold? I’m fine that they show their true goals front and centre, it’s like a note saying “hit me” taped to their backs.
“Sovereignty”, that big white whale of the dysfunctional far right?
I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it’s flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can’t use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.
Yeah, but we’re not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone “AI” even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.
“AI” is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.
