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

Thanks for maintaning this fork, this was the last missing thing on lemmy for me

? This post is a month old now

It seems to work, but it keeps throwing pictrs related errors, so it’s not really built for it

It barely works on my old version of lemmy, probably fixed now then. It would be nice if there was a was to turn that off and only use pictrs only for locally uploaded images. Since I’m the only person here caching isn’t too important.
I wonder if I could shut pictrs down and only use an external image hosting for images?

Lemmy sometimes caches remote content in pict-rs. It’s a bit broken so you usually don’t see it, but it does do it occasional

Related, What about a personal instance only I use? I can choose what communities I want but I can’t control what is posted on those communities. Someone could post something illegal to a beehaw community (and have) and the mods remove it, but does the deletion of images and posts federate? In know matrix keeps copies of every deleted file in a room on all homeservers, what about lemmy?

I just grep’d the nginx access log for the lemmy.world IP address and looked at the access times. you can see if it’s timing out is the response code is 400. sadly ~57% of the requests are currently timing out today. it seems to work for a bit then time out for about 10 minutes, at least there is some coming through now, before the requests had stopped completely.

lemmy.ml is also back in my logs. yay
lemmy.ml is almost perfect on the timeouts, so they must have managed to fix it.

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.

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.

I have a stupid overcomplicated networking script that never works. So every time i set up a new server I need to fix a myriad of weird issues I’ve never seen before. Usually I setup a server with a keyboard and mouse because SSH needs networking, if it’s a cloud machine its the QEMU console or hundreds of reboots.

oh wow that’s strange. I cannot imagine what they must have done in the nginx config to do that. I guess there isn’t anything you can do until lemmy.ml fixes their IPv6 then. I just checked my logs and lemmy.ml isn’t federating with my instance anymore. Thats very bad! Also explains the lack of content i’ve been seeing.
EDIT: Ok nevermind, lemmy.ml is federating with me. I just connect to it over IPv6

ahh, I think this is because lemmy.ml is down all the time from the load right now. if you unsubscribe and resubscribe when lemmy.ml is back it might fix it.

If you know how to use greasemonkey there is a script to make lemmy look more like old.reddit here Personally, it fixed a lot of the UI issues for me.
What do you mean by 3? you shouldn’t need authorisation to join a federated community.

Look at the usernames in the replies to this comment

Nah, I can’t see any reason to make more than one account.

The file you downloaded is a compressed JSON file, it’s not something you can really just look at. But it contains all the data needed to build a nice UI around.
I don’t know what OS you are on but on linux you can run zstd -d -c file.zst | jq . and it will print everything in the file. It’s not really readable though. Also it doesn’t have any of the media content, only the text

That assumes the mods do. I fear reddit will turn into another tinypic situation. even if it isn’t an image host there will be pages of answers on forums and stack exchange pointing to dead reddit links. The fustration of finding a 10 year old forum post of someone having the same issue as you only to have the only answer point to a dead link is incredible.

I hate reddit. But it feels like the library of Alexandria burning down (yea I know). All those google search results and educational subreddits that are shutting down forever, and because they are too small reddit won’t force open them again.
A lot are in the pushshift archive, but that cuts of at 2022. Also, it doesn’t include a lot of the smaller subreddits.
I have had my PC running 24/7 with multiple VPNs to avoid rate limits downloading as much as I can before the API dies, but with some blackouts moving forward a day I have already missed a few.
Like many others, I would often add “reddit” to the end of my searches to get better results, half the websites on web searches now are either AI generated, copies or are completely AD ridden websites that ask you to turn off your AD blocker.
