I love this. Is it with reference to anything specific? (Apart from Voyager and its inconsistency ofc)

Lava lamps actually don’t have any fans, the motion is driven by convection instead! /jk

Mine (Miele) actually says to close the door completely to reduce the possibility of small children or pets entering. We ignore that bit though.

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features

In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.

Even Arch has an interactive installer now, and Endeavour is meant to be Arch with a bulletproof installer as well.

For dual booting I strongly recommend having Windows and Linux on separate drives altogether.

Automation meets ersatz automation

Hey it’s me the fun ruiner here to ruin your fun.

Nuclear Ghandi was mostly a myth until Civilisation V where it was deliberately programmed in.

Also the concept of an integer wrapping around below it’s minimum value is still integer overflow, just like wrapping above it’s maximum value. Underflow does exist in the context of floating point numbers, when a calculation produces a result too small to represent in the floating point schema.

Buffer overflow is putting more elements into an array than can fit in the array, therefore trying to write beyond the end of an array. They’re a super common form of vulnerability exploit, particularly in older programs written in C. Buffer underflow is when something consuming from a buffer consumes faster than it is filled, and so empties the buffer. I didn’t actually know this term before making this comment.

Commenting before reading other comments

“Mongrel” is the word, but I’ve barely heard it used.

Pretty confident “domestic shorthair” is the “John Doe” of cat breeds.

The modern English word “bear” originally came from a proto-Germanic word meaning one of “brown one” or possibly “wild animal”. There was an actual name for bears, but speaking it was taboo in case it caused a bear to appear, so the euphemism eventually replaced the real name.

When I learned this originally, I was taught that the true name was lost to time, but Wikipedia just says it was “arkto” so whatever.

Just like bears

I desperately want to play through it but they seem to have made some weird technical decisions with the sound system and I don’t get half the sounds on any of my devices.

Just to be clear before I respond to the rest of this comment, my position is that Peertube solves the sustainability problem and in no way am I suggesting Peertube will replace YouTube

I do not expect the vast majority of channels to survive the end of YouTube, as is normal for any paradigm shift.

P2P is completely achievable using NAT Hole Punching. I have no clarity on if Peertube is doing this but since there’s already a trusted server involved it would be silly not to.

In a hypothetical, unlikely future where YouTube dies and people generally move to Peertube, I expect the majority of content creators to pay small fees to have instances host their videos. I expect small, free but restricted instances will continue to be the home for amateur videographers as they are today. The more technical folk will likely self host, and groups of like minded creators will pool efforts to run group specialist instances (not unlike Nebula).

Frankly the most likely scenario is YouTube dies and everyone starts posting videos to Instagram or Tiktok or something equivalently anti user.

Content creators. It’s hard to host everyone’s videos, and it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary, as it prevents new entrants. It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted). It becomes harder when you suddenly become popular, a situation which Peertube explicitly compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers, which scales with popularity.

Signal makes it’s own bed like YouTube by being a single centralised server for everyone. Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

Not precisely what you’re after but https://sepiasearch.org/

Peertube has already delivered the sustainable model: creators host their own videos and viewers assist distribution.

The protocol was released in 2019. The LLM was released in 2024.

Arch can absolutely use other init systems though it is officially unsupported

Honestly I think this is a gap in the community.

They’re more project focussed but you could consider https://hackster.io/ or https://hackaday.io/.

Maybe consider cross posting this question to an open hardware community? Such as !libre_hardware@lemmy.ml

(And ping me if you find one, I’m collecting open hardware websites)
