xtremeownage,

What will realistically happen?

Nothing. Companies will just spend a hair more money finding ways to circumvent the new taxes. And, if the new taxes were not easily circumvented- they would just relocate the company to another country with lower taxes.

In the end, the consumer is paying the taxes, and not the company itself, either way.

xtremeownage,

But, it has no network connectivity! That is against God’s will.

(Thus, no telemetry either)

Very interesting os though. Lots of very cool concepts

xtremeownage,

Sorry… watching a sponsored video for world of tanks for the 10th time, or simply safe, or whatever other garbage is there isn’t going to make me want to purchase it.

I value my time… If I didn’t use sponsor block, I’m still going to skip right past it… This, just does it for me.

xtremeownage,

Vault warden. (Implements bitwarden).

Works with bitwarden apps / browser plugins. Locally hosted. Rust.

xtremeownage,

Cloudflare currently.

Have used Google, Amazon, namecheap too.

Just. Don’t use godaddy

xtremeownage,

Because there is no karma system on lemmy

Not- actually accurate- There IS a karma system. I can lookup your overall post karma, both positive and negative. I can lookup your comment karma. Separated by positive and negative.

Its just not exposed through the Lemmy UI currently. I will note, kbin does who is upvoting and downvoting posts as well.

xtremeownage,

Software developer in his 30s. I built automation for a living. I automate my house as a hobby. I automate all things.

(I also live building racecars)

xtremeownage,

Technically, lemmy does actually track a user’s karma.

It’s- just not exposed via the user interface… as of right now.

Kinda of like how kbin displays who upvotes and downvotes. Lemmy also tracks this data too, and can easily report on exactly who is upvoting and downvoting.

In the case of this post, for example-

xtremeownage,

In the case of karma- Its all there too.

Comment Karma https://lemmyonline.com/pictrs/image/5d1cef06-9cb5-4f79-b04e-5ddc03f25bdb.png

Comment Negative Karma. https://lemmyonline.com/pictrs/image/2f6ac98d-b0d2-4a24-a431-cc40066c47a4.png

And- post karma exists too.

xtremeownage,

For votes to work, the data of who voted where has to be tracked.

Karma is just a matter of adding numbers together.

I think the data can be useful for anti spam reasons

xtremeownage,

In a survival situation, you can go a long time(weeks depending on how much body fat you have stored) without eating food. But- water is required.

Eating food, generally produces poop.

Vitamins, trail-mix, etc, can provide the required nutrients as well, while somewhat minimizing the amount of poop production.

Another note, it is possible to hold your poop for a very long time. Although, this can result in “Clogged pipes”, which you do NOT want.

xtremeownage,

Lemmy and lemmy-ui

xtremeownage,

So far, seems to be working great.

Lemmy.ml is running it too

xtremeownage,

It doesn’t.

If you are on my instance, for example, its hosted out of my own pocket.

I have a TON of spare compute resources laying around, and I am more than happy to donate them to this cause.

Edit- lets also be perfectly honest- hosting lemmy costs FAR less then it costs me to host plex for friends/family.

xtremeownage,

Actually- they are full time working on this.

The devs… have socialist tendencies(by their own admission, their words, not mine!), and are more then happy to live on peanuts and bread while building software for the better of humanity.

However, donations to the project, do pay for their basic expenses.

xtremeownage,

Do note, HOW they are hosting, pays into this a lot.

I have a server I host things on here locally-

256G of ram, 32 cores/64 threads. 130T of storage. Nvidia Tesla GPUs. Coral TPUs. Lots of NVMe too.

It costs 20-30$ of energy, along with internet use-costs.

Hosting, something of that scale in the cloud, would be outrageously expensive. However, here in my local home-datacenter, with redundant power, internet, and everything, its honestly not that bad.

And- I assure you, there is redundancy. My lemmy had basically no downtime AFTER getting hit by a tornado, and power to the city being out for most of the week.- > lemmyonline.com/post/3751

xtremeownage,

I understand- I took that part from one of the dev’s bios.

xtremeownage,

…xtremeownage.com/…/what-happened-to-reddit/

100% fuck u/spez.

They have messed up pretty badly, and anyone who still trusts them, is wearing a blindfold.

xtremeownage,

I… am honestly surprised, your aren’t hosting your own instance…

It’s not like we have a shortage of resources, lol
