My favourite OSS: BOINC (volunteer your computational power to science!)

I want to let you all know about what I think is one of the coolest yet most under-appreciated FOSS tools out there, it’s called BOINC lemmy at !boinc . The Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing has been around for decades and has delivered teraflops of computing to scientists on a daily basis for absolutely free....

Peter1986C,

Not all BOINC project support the combination ARM+Linux (sometimes they only support the use of ARM with Android, or no ARM at all). Also, I do not know what stressing out the computer so much for prolonged time does to it over time. I am not saying to not do this, but please be aware of this.

Peter1986C,

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Peter1986C,

No, but but f you for that loooooong scroll to the comments lol.

Peter1986C,

You cannot determine median based on range alone. You basically need to know how your datapoints (people in this case) are distributed to be able to actually calculate the median, because the 50th percentile does not have to lie smack in the middle between the extreme ends of your range.

Beehaw on Lemmy: The long-term conundrum of staying here

Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington). This post lamented some of the difficulties we’re running into with the site at this point, and what the future might hold for us. This is a more formal post about those difficulties and the way we currently see things....

Peter1986C,

That same article in your link already states that the etymology is rather unclear and could have alternative explanations. And i am quite certain that Alyaza was not meaning to use those terms in bad faith.

Peter1986C,

Are they a cultivar of sweet potato? I am asking because of their colour. Congrats regardless.

Peter1986C,

The Frostpunk game art is indeed fantastic.

Peter1986C,

I got that game wishlisted as well.

Peter1986C,

Did you mean “blog post”?

Peter1986C,

I mean this respectfully, but it is not an article but a blog post.

Lemmy for Mastodon - A new account dedicated to promoting the Lemmy communities and instances that make the most sense in your Mastodon feed (mastodon.social)

This is shameless self-promotion, but part of a working theory I have that Mastodon users have more to offer Lemmy than your average Reddit user. See my other post about it here: lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2174573...

Peter1986C,

I do now follow that account from my firefish.social account.

China’s security drive hits embassy activities, LGBT events, some diplomats say (www.asahi.com)

Twenty envoys from 12 Western and Asian delegations told Reuters that in recent months they had noticed larger police presences around some diplomatic premises and increased attempts by Chinese authorities to intimidate embassy contacts and disrupt civic outreach endeavors, including LGBT and gender-themed events.

Peter1986C,

This post is on Beehaw, a Lemmy server that does not really have tankies (fortunately).

Peter1986C,

So you are on MX Linux?

Peter1986C,

You stating “for-profit company” should have been a hint that I could not possibly have beeen correct. I should read better. 😆

Peter1986C,

As another account stated in this feed, please consider moving to a Firefish server.

Peter1986C,

They are, that is why not every Mastodon instance is having the same limits.

Peter1986C,

Widgets etc. can be disabled as far as I know. Performance issues I have seen thus far were mostly on the server side. On my phone it is fairly smooth now using the PWA in the browser (Firefox Mobile) and that is on fairly modest hardware (4GB of RAM, Unisoc T606 SoC). On my Odroid N2Plus (only slightly beefier SoC than the phone and as much RAM) it performs fairly okay as well (with regular desktop browser). I will not speak about Firefish on my desktop because I am not being fair then.

Peter1986C,

Are you sure they were from Beehaw and not some other Lemmy/Kbin instance? Have you hit the report button? On a sidenote, I haven’t spotted them yet.

Peter1986C,

The distinction is in whether it tries to emulate e.g. burgers or chicken bits rather than staying truer to itself.
