Much love from Lemmy! Wish we had a UI as good as Kbin ;). Long live the fediverse!

HOLY SMOKES. /u/spez accidentally copied the “A:” in one of his replies (it’s now edited out), but someone got an archive 😂😂😂😂😂 https://archive.ph/X6EJq

Title should probably specify this is a bounty for Lemmy development, not Monero. I thought this was a Monero bug until I clicked the GH ticket

They said the hard part isn’t implementing OpenGL, it’s reverse engineering the GPU. Once they have OpenGL they can do Vulkan pretty quick

Wait what’s this about hot water and lead? I love me some hot showers, is it making me dumb?

The valuation of a lot of these sites was grossly inflated by the market, so when the largest shareholders saw their billions halve and know what the future holds, they start doing things to temporarily boost their profit margins and sell off the company.

Side note: I wish everybody was on UTC time and time zones would forever disappear into the ether.

Everyone who has worked with dates feels this way. I for one have switched to the 24:00 clock and keep the UTC time as a widget on my phone. It won’t happen in our lifetime, but I’ll be damned if I’m not stubborn about it.

(Also as a side note, I work in game dev and I force everything to be in UTC. I don’t care what the PM says, our events all reset midnight UTC)

Any recommendations for a FOSS encrypted calendar that supports sync?
After a short realization of how disorganized I am, my girlfriend said "어 진짜 I can't. I can't do this". So at the risk of my 6 year relationship falling apart, does anyone know of a good calendar we can use together to plan out our days? EDIT: I appreciate everyone's concerns, but my relationship is not actually at risk. I'm just looking for a good calendar we can share 🥰

Already donated some, but admins said they’re not gonna upgrade servers for it

I’d donate 500$ for one month of high cores/RAM to brace the hug

No stress test needed, every admin has already said they know it’s going down

What are you seeing in the code that makes it hard do scale horizontally? I’ve never looked at Lemmy before, but I’ve done the steps of (monolithic app) -> docker -> make app stateless -> Kubernetes before and as a user, I don’t necessarily see the complexity (not saying it’s not there, but wondering what specifically in the site architecture prevents this transition)

You’re not resetting your loop counter on for (unsigned char i; i <= MAXPLAYERS; i++)

Just ignore them, if it’s important they can post again

People aren’t drooling over rust for no reason :)

Regarding the M1, yea… I’ve actually got mine sitting beside me right now (because I borked my main computer an hour ago and needed it). It runs incredibly impressively - I’ve even gotten Minecraft to 60FPS. Considering they’re writing the drivers from scratch with no documentation on the parts they’re implementing, it’s mind boggling.

8 vCore
32 GB RAM

😬

2 follow-ups:

  • Can we replace Lemmy.ml with Join-lemmy.org when Lemmy.ml is overloaded/down?
  • Does LemmyNet have any plans on being Kubernetes (or similar horizontal scaling techniques) compatible?

I’m also willing to donate to other instances too - Beehaw, Sopuli, Lemmygrad, Lemmyone - Anything so we can have better shock absorption. If you run one of those instances, please reply and let us know how much you think you need

How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers?
With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you *know* Lemmy.ml will go down. *Even if* people go to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down. **Ruqqus had this issue too**. Every time there was a mass exodus from Reddit, Ruqqus would go down, and hardly reap the rewards. Even if it's not sustainable, just for one month, I'd like to see Lemmy.ml drastically boost their server power. If we can raise money as a community, what kind of server could we get for 100$? 500$? 1,000$?

Do you have Automatic1111? With this set up, usually you can find tutorials for each plugin: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

Rust prevents a lot of silly mistakes, but if it had to be quantified, I would say in general it would be “twice as secure”

CNN reported the agents will likely be disciplined and may lose their federal security clearances.

Even people on minimum wage get fired for using their cellphones during a shift. Y’all had an important job and still did it

Let me know if this is the right version you were looking for: https://2009scape.org/services/m=funorb/games/flashtrek

There’s multiple versions, if this is the wrong one I can try again :P

Once these patches land, network drivers will be able to be written in Rust.

Slowly but surely, the solid blocks are being placed. Some people are saying it’s happening too slowly, but I’ve read a lot of Kernel developers are worried it’s happening too fast.

Classic Flash Games!
Because I have no life, I recreated the classic Funorb website by Jagex and filled it with Flash games. They're all playable in the browser, some even modified for a better experience. If you have any Flash games you want me to add to the website, let me know and I can do that! Otherwise, hope you find something you can enjoy for free - No downloads and no ads!

Find and Share Communities Thread!
Welcome everyone to Lemmy! Lemmy is a network of instances. Even if you registered on Lemmy.ml, your entire feed can be made up of Beehaw.org posts by subscribing exclusively to Beehaw.org communities. Sometimes it's hard to find a community of posts and people you want to hang out with - So I invite everyone to share communities from their instances in this thread! Edit: I've just realized the `!technology@beehaw.org` linking format opens `https://beehaw.org/c/technology` instead of i.e `lemmy.ml/c/technology@beehaw.org` if your instance is lemmy.ml. This thread might not work

여러분, 나 진짜 망했어
한국어 배우는 게 위해 작년에 조선에서 이사했어. 그때 동안 아주 좋은 생활을 샀고 친절한 친구들을 만났고 대박한 한국어 선생님들 몆 명 있었어. 근데 나 곧 캐나다에서 돌아갈거니까 다시 좋은 옛날 선생님 만났고 같이 평양냉면 먹을때 대화를 통했어. 산책하는 게에 대해서 이야기 할 때 나 "It feels good"말하고 싶은데, "마음에 들어요"를 깜빡 잊어버렸으니까 "가슴이 좋아요"라고 했어... 근데 난 그 "가슴이 좋아요"의 특별한 의미를 진짜 몰랐잖아! 선생님이 웃었고 고마워다고 했는데 나 햇갈렸어. 설명 후에 나 엄청 부그러웠어... 아 진짜 나 왜 이래 ㅠㅠ

I've solved 353 Leetcode Medium problems, and of those I've failed 20 (had to look at the solution to be able to solve it). The most common Topic amongst my failures was "Array", but "Array" is in pretty much every question. When adjusting the failed Topics to be a ratio of how often the Topic appears, I get this graph which much closer resembles what I'm poor at.

WhatsApp is Complete Malware (And It Has Killed People Too)
Dumping the sources here because a friend requested them. Thought it would be good to document. 2019 - [A recently discovered zero-day vulnerability in the world’s most popular messenger — WhatsApp — allowed hackers to eavesdrop on users, read their encrypted chats, turn on the microphone and camera, and install spyware that allows even further surveillance, such as browsing through the victim’s photos and videos, accessing their contact list, and so on. What’s even worse, to exploit the vulnerability, all the hacker needs to do is call the victim on WhatsApp.](https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/whatsapp-call-zeroday/26941/). Reported by Kaspersky, highly reputable cyber security company 2020 - [NSO Group allegedly connected to hacks of 1,400 people including human rights activists](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/29/whatsapp-israeli-firm-deeply-involved-in-hacking-our-users). Reported by TheGuardian, perennial news outlet. Note the (Israeli) NSO Group discussed here was exploiting WhatsApp 2021 - [50 people close to Mexico's president spied on via WhatsApp backdoors](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/09/mexico-arrest-businessman-nso-israeli-company-spyware). Again reported by TheGuardian. Same (Israeli) NSO group as above 2021 - [Revealed: murdered journalist’s number selected by Mexican NSO client](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/jul/18/revealed-murdered-journalist-number-selected-mexico-nso-client-cecilio-pineda-birto). Again reported by TheGuardian (there's lots of sources but I'm sticking with these guys for their good journalism). Mexican journalist was murdered. Was one of the people who was hacked through WhatsApp. Note his murder actually took place in 2017 (this has been going on for some time) 2022 - [WhatsApp accidentally had another insanely dangerous vulnurability](https://socradar.io/critical-whatsapp-vulnerabilities-allow-attackers-remote-device-hacking/). This one is a random source, but it links the actual CVE. It's crazy how WhatsApp keeps "accidentally" having perfect government-level backdoors. ***** My personal take is this - Unless you genuinely want everyone to read the messages you send your friends, you need to use a private messaging app. For an app to be private, it needs to be secure. For an app to be secure, it needs to be open source. WhatsApp is not secure. It is not private. Stop using it. ***** Apologies for typos/mistakes, it's 4:30am, was just stitching sources together real quick. By the way, the founder(?) of Telegram had a blog where he wrote about this too but I can't find it right now. If anyone has a link, please share :)

What did the Viet people ever do to you, @yorma?

Vietnamese people must be pretty passive if you have to go all the way back to 2019 to find a case of organized crime.
