I honestly don't remember which of the free icon sites I got the icon from, but it was one of those.

Would be hilarious if open AI decided to up their API cost 1000x for Reddit

I’m a data scientist, I’ll definitely check some of these out, thanks!

What inspires you to pick up the guitar every day?

For me, I continually watch and listen to new music and guitarists - If i practice the same things over and over and over every day, I will slowly lose interest in playing. Often I find that when i learn something half decent but hit a wall, if i come back to it in 6 months, I can break through that wall easier. It’s all about...

gigging regularly is a great motivator for sure.

I got to ask, with all those signatures on there, do you actually play the guitar? If I had a guitar signed by my heroes, I would be deathly afraid that my sweat would wipe away the signatures

Great to see this community starting up on Lemmy. After years of lurking on Reddit, here is my main guitar! (beehaw.org)

The sign of a thriving guitar community is fools posting photos of their unmodded incredibly popular guitars, so it's an honor to be the first to share this photo of a JMJM here :P It's not even the more desirable model, it's a 2020, and I don't particularly get along with the ToM bridge, but it's mine and I love it all the...

Are you utilizing the PowerBI Report Server to be fully on prem, or do you mean your data sources are on-prem and you just utilize a gateway to communicate?

lol fair! ETL pipelines are an entire job description. We're fortunate to have some great data engineers, but I know that pain.

Is this a fine place to talk about table top RPGs?

Hello! I hope I am not off topic, this is literally my first day here (ok, maybe I should wait and know the community a bit better but I 'll try to be slightly bolder...if it's not ok just let me know). I understand that by choice there are no super focused communities to avoid an excessive fragmentation. So I wonder: is this...

The way it was explained to me is that the very first time a user searches from their own instance for a community on another instance and clicks it, it federates one server to the other, enabling all of the commenting, subscribing, etc. You were probably the first one from your instance to search for that, and now the link is created and everyone can.

Is there any concern about posts going viral and spiking bandwidth cost? Kind of a ‘victim of my own success’ kinda thing. Also, I could imagine a bad actor DDoS-ing an instance just to drive up network costs.

Do you feel like getting an expensive wah pedal is worth it?

A wah pedal is at the top of my wishlist right now. I have been borrowing a crybaby from my friend and it sounds great, but I am wondering if I could get a similar effect with a cheaper wah pedal. Do you feel like the high price of a crybaby is worth it, or do they all sound the same?

I would say the number one determining factor is your own ears. Make a trip to the shop and if you can get a great sound out of a cheaper pedal, than by all means go for it. There absolutely is a lot of cork sniffing and/or snake oil salesmanship in guitar pedal markets, and you’d be shocked at what some of the cheaper pedals are able to achieve through a good amp.

I bought a 4070Ti for $1k and I deeply regret it. Not because I can't afford it, but because I let my want of gaming at 120 fps overpower my ethics of enabling a company to get away with these prices. It's definitely a regret I have.

Commenting across instances

If I registered at lemmy.world, is it possible to still comment on a thread at say lemmy.ml? I get the expected "You are not logged in" and while subscribing is easy enough, I'm not able to comment or interact with other instances. This seems normal as users are unique per instance, I just want to make sure I'm not missing a key...

oh my god that was so simple, i was looking at communities i wasn't subbed to yet lol - thanks!

ArtVandelay,
@ArtVandelay@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, I got it figured out. It turns out the cross instance community you want to comment on, you just need to subscribe to it first.

ArtVandelay,
@ArtVandelay@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks, it seems I've got some research to do on how this all works, I'm saving this comment though thanks

We welcome fretboards of all shapes and sizes

What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

lol i had the same issue, I'm getting all this federation stuff figured out too :)
