If my fingers prune I’m going to die or something

I believe the way to do this is to promote the clone dataset using the zfs promote command

same, I feel lucky to have such an uncommon surname because I easily got the domain lol. there was a short version with the last two letters as the TLD but that was already taken sadly

Would it not make more sense if your instance downloaded and redistributed the torrent? then you could keep seeding after the tab closed. it also wouldn't leak your IP then.
What about peer discovery? I opened that webtorrent website in two browsers and they didn't peer, is that demo real?

Why not also use the instance to re-seed? it could keep seeding after the visitor closed the video.

thomas, 10 months ago

why? if 5 instances are seeding the video, clients should be able to download from all 5 instances and spread the bandwidth usage right?

Webtorrent seems to have some issues with peer discovery. I've tried the instant.io site they have linked on webtorrent.io and I can't get it to download or share anything, the desktop client managed to download a torrent from my peertube instance over normal BitTorrent but I can't share it over webtorrent. I downloaded a video from my peertube instance using btorrent.xyz over webtorrent but I can't seed new files because the peers don't find each other. when I use a webtorrent with a tracker (like peertube) it works fine but how were sites like instant.io supposed to discover peers without trackers? I don't think DHT exists for webtorrent yet.

You can manually seed videos on instances using redundancy but I was thinking automatic redundancy for watched videos might be a good idea, I guess you can do automatic redundancy for entire instances but that would take up a lot of storage space.

One of the nice thing with BitTorrent is the high reliability so I assumed that was what peertube was trying to do, I guess the idea is not to provide data redundancy but to split load instead?

At some point the chess board is going to stop looking like a chess board. I think this will be the comment that does it.

This is wrong, I use IPTables but the device is absolutely not dedicated lol.

It's only been a few minutes but I'm seeing non timing out federation in my nginx access log. Hopefully it keeps working.
Also at least on my instance, lemmy.ml has completely broken, I'm not getting anything from it at all anymore. it dropped out at 13:52:22 and besides a couple few messages it's been silence since then. It seems to be working on lemmy.world so I'm not sure what's causing that.

Download ML thing.
make new venv.
pip install -r requirements.txt.
pip can't find the right versions.
pip install --update pip.
pip still can't find the right versions.
install conda.
conda breaks for some reason.
fix conda.
install with conda.
pytorch won't compile with CUDA support.
install 2,000,000GB of nvidia crap from conda.
pytorch still won't compile.
install older version of gcc with conda.
pytorch still won't compile.
reinstall the entire operating system with debian 11.
apt can't find shitlib-1.
install shitlib-2.
it's not compatible with shitlib-1.
compile it from source.
automake breaks.
install debian 10.
It actually works.
"Join our discord to get the model".
give up.

in case anyone wants to know why the bot isn't working anymore: for some reason I seem to have been soft-defederated by lemmy.world and my instance isn't getting any new comments or posts

Why does The Register get paid? /s

Do you mean 2.5"? It probably is a deal breaker sadly, unless I can build a DIY SAN or something (I would love to). It sounds bad but I'm probably going to super cheap out on HDDs and buy those crappy £9 SAS drives from ebay and just use aggressive RAID and backups

Also, I can't find a single one of those that isn't shipped from the USA

thomas, 10 months ago

I have had some awful trouble trying to upgrade to lemmy 0.18.0 and blew up my instance trying. It took a while for federation to fix so your comment probably got lost in the chaos
