Spy, 11 months ago to selfhosted in Best things to host on a raspberry pi

Ah my bad mate, I didn't notice you were the same person and the way you wrote your reply made me think you misunderstood the advantages of each and we're recommending to use ublock only

At first I tried some self hosted solutions but I didn't like anything, eventually I landed on ente.io/ which I really like.

It has a lot of ways to import your photos, really nice mobile and pc (windows, Linux, and Mac) apps that can automatically upload your pictures in the background, the devs are really responsive (there was a bug with one of the importers so I opened a ticket and I got a lot of help in order to debug the issue and solve it).

The only thing that I don't love is that while the clients are all open source, the back end isn't because they claim they are too small of a team to keep it both open source and secure.

Exactly, I can barely maintain a media server I really don't want to be responsible for my passwords and photos. There are secure alternatives that are private and open enough for my needs...

You are not wrong, but uBlock needs to be installed on each device and only works on the browser, while pihole blocks adds across the whole network for all devices.

I have pihole but still use ublock on my personal computer

Spy, 11 months ago to programming in Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why?

I came to say the same. Magit is like 70% of why I still use emacs

Spy, 11 months ago to gaming in Titanfall 2 in 2023 Is Still One Of The Best...

Titanfall is amazing and I still have a great time playing every now and then.

I'm really excited to see what Gravity Wells is developing

Spy, 11 months ago to technology in Future LLMs will be progressively worse - and possibly change how humans write

This is already happening though and it's somewhat understandable.
Gpt4 is locked behind a pay wall, and there are a lot of companies that offer twicked versions for specific uses for a price.

Considering the server space, filtering, and training this thing takes, asking for some fee is almost a given.

On the other hand you have the HuggingFace models that try to create an open source space for AI and I really hope that goes well!

Spy, 11 months ago to boycottreddit in "Heads-up: Reddit is quietly restoring deleted AND overwritten posts and comments"

I have the same question, it's almost unreadable...

Spy, 11 months ago to asklemmy in Hosting an instance just for yourself?

I think the biggest issue you might have is storage since as far as I understand everything you subscribe to is pushed and saved to your server, at least for a period

Spy, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in API Access?

I don't think the API is fully up and running yet.

Anything that shows up on the api docs should be available, since these docs are usually auto-generated, but for the rest I agree, the priority right now is for the site to be running and as usable as possible. Api, features, and bug fixing can come later

Spy, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in What would happen if kbin's admin (ernest), or any other admin of a server( by that I mean Mastodon, Lemmy, not an instance of kbin) one day decided he's going to pull a spez?

The only issue I see with kbin itself doing that by default is that moderation might get a bit weird, as there would be no one team responsible for the page, while also complying with all the rules that might apply from different communities could also be problematic.
At the same time creating a post would be weird, if those communities are treated as one then where do you create a new post? Obviously not on all of them at once because then there will N posts in the "front page".

Perhaps having the ability to group magazines and read them as one would make sense, but i don't think it should be the default.

Spy, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in API Access?

Regarding being asked to prove you are a human even in /api, I believe it's because @ernest had to enable Cloudflare's ddos protection.
I tried using the api but with fedia.io as the base url but unfortunately that returns an internal server error instead:

{
  "@context": "/api/contexts/Error",
  "@type": "hydra:Error",
  "hydra:title": "An error occurred",
  "hydra:description": "Internal Server Error"
}

Maybe the api can be disabled per instance? But I highly doubt that`

Spy, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in I wanna jump and kickstart a mascot for Kbin, I call it "Kitto", I made a rough draft version with my clothes (the ones in my avatar) and one without nothing.

It does look familiar...

Spy, 11 months ago to rust in Crate polars

I've been using polars from python for a university assignment and I have to admit I really like its api, although I'm still getting used to it.

The to_x methods of series are especially convenient for enabling easy integration with packages that are built around pandas or numpy, while the similar api across languages I think can come in very handy in case I ever have to use it from Rust

Spy, 11 months ago to kbinMeta in What would happen if kbin's admin (ernest), or any other admin of a server( by that I mean Mastodon, Lemmy, not an instance of kbin) one day decided he's going to pull a spez?

While kbin.social's m/technology magazine can only show posts that are made there, the All page you see when you go to kbin.social does show posts from other instances, including lemmy.

Regarding magazines, I believe that over time two things can happen:

1. Some magazines/communities will catch more traction and become popular and the default across instances. Mind you this is the same problem that reddit had in the beginning as well as there could be multiple similar named subs for the same thing, but one or few became popular over time.
2. Tools can be develop that will handle similar named magazines as one and display them in a single feed.
