The site should show the percentage. It's currently at over 90% of subs (which is really awesome), but i can't calculate the % of subscriptions because i don't know the total amount.

phind is, in my experience, significantly better at code generation than ChatGPT

I'm the fool who pays for ChatGPT and the v4 is pretty good. However, I think I open to trying whatever you meant to link to. (Granted, the link doesn't work for me)

Scourge, in The largest floating solar farm in North America is officially online

Would large waves not bend the spine of the structure, or potentially even flip the whole thing over? Really cool to see the use of the ocean as a large flat surface for solar

BrianTheeBiscuiteer,

My first thought too, but this is a reservoir and not the ocean.

I've been using GitHub Copilot for inline code suggeation, ChatGPT for anything larger.
Neither are perfect, but they've taken some of my workload away, allowing me to concentrate on the interesting stuff.

paperclipgroove,

GitHub CoPilot for me too. I've found it can be really good at auto completing or predicting what I'm going to need to do next.

A recent example was that I had code to pull in data from a temp sensor. It's a popular sensor so copilot knew I was working with temps and populated lines for converting from raw to C/F, etc.

It's also good at noticing which variables you've created and using them in its suggestions.

....and then other times it just mocks you when you ask it so do something like loop through all sensor values and it just adds a comment like

//loop code here

Thanks CoPilot, very helpful....

I kind of love the selection of subreddits that are still available:
/r/amitheasshole, /r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/whatcouldgowrong, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit, among others

It paints such a lovely picture of the current situation! :D

woooferine,

I was surprised at first, then I went to the subs (anonymously, without logging in) that although some of them are not going private, they are doing different things to voice their "unpleasantness".

/r/mildlyinfuriating, /r/publicfreakout, /r/quityourbullshit have since got private.

/r/amitheasshole and /r/whatcouldgowrong have restricted submission, meaning that no new posts are allowed. This goes for the rest of the 30+ mil (/r/pics/) and 20+mil (/r/askscience, /r/books/, /r/explainlikeimfive, /r/jokes, /r/gifs/, /r/showerthoughts) in the Reddark list.

/r/photoshopbattles only allows blank submissions.

/r/therewasanattempt way of protest is a bit more complicated. No bots for admins, limited API usage, etc...

Many of them are fighting this battles in their own way.

@woooferine

Hey, thanks for diving in and reporting back with intel! The pattern just jumped out at me when glancing over the list and amused me greatly but it's good to know that the vast majority of subreddits support the protest.

I still think the blackout shouldn't be a two day deal that blows over quickly and is summarily forgotten. Instead more subs should follow the example of /r/programmerhumor and submerge indefinitely. In any case though I feel less and less like I want to go back myself even if Sleazy Spez decided to do a miraculous 180.

The Fediverse still has to properly come into its own but currently I like what's happening very much.

curiosityLynx, in Bad tech news continues - YouTube Orders ‘Invidious’ Privacy Software to Shut Down in 7 Days

@Nankeru iirc they officially changed that motto to another one a while ago

honkhonk, in Reddark - An open source website to watch subreddits going dark

I haven't opened reddit since the blackout started, so I have no idea what's going on there.

What is exactly happening? Are people not able to see entire subreddits? Or are people just not allowed to make new posts?

kaupas24, in When your main router died suddenly, and you need an emergency replacement...

What's the speed you get on that?
I imagine most routers aren't that much more powerful but still.

fatalError,

The rpi4 can do gigabit using openwrt without QoS. With QoS should probably be at least half of that.

I really only have a 500Mbit down/100Mbit up connection, so on the WAN side, it's fine, can handle that easily.

And meanwhile on the LAN/VLAN side, I haven't tested, but I've mostly tried putting the high bandwidth stuff in the same VLAN just so they don't hit the router (on a stick), and just crosses the switch.

I've got a N200 aliexpress box on the way though. OPNSense is looking mighty interesting.

This is very cool to watch, and kind of creepy too. Like observing the stars blinking out of existence. It’d be neat to see something like this with those subreddit link diagrams maps.

It's so fun seeing my subscribed subreddits list get shorter and shorter.

Interesting. When you say "for Vulcan" do you mean for generating images of vulcan?
