Funny, but the vibration mechanism is actually very different. Whistling uses a very specific shape with your lips creates a vortex of air that creates sound waves (similar to a flute or blowing across a bottle).

Your vocal “cords” (vocal folds is more accurate), make sound by flapping back and forth due to the tension and airflow to which they are subjected. This flapping creates the sound waves (similar to blowing a raspberry or a fart).

So, saying your voice is just a prolonged throat fart is more accurate.

lol Silverlight.

In fairness, a lot of those did take over the web for a time and lead to some cool stuff (and also some wild security exploits).

Yes, but having both in place can help mitigate lateral movement risk.

I’m not sure what you’re asking.

I think you’re looking in the wrong places. Culture is everywhere. The mediums and groups of people that propagate culture shift over time, but humans are inherently creative and will always develop it.

Try looking in places where there is a focus on community, connection, and the art itself—not places that focus on producing “content” for profit.

We’d be lucky to even live to see a human on Mars.

That video was… something…

Anyway I love Immich. It’s definitely been on a stable release for a bit, but I think they’re just trying to get the word out. A lot of people seem to think it’s still in alpha.

Personally, I’ve been running the same Immich server for years now, rolling all the way up to the current release and I’ve never had any data loss. I just had to read the patch notes and adjust my docker compose accordingly a couple times.

It’s well worth paying for that supporter badge, btw. I’ve easily gotten more than $100 value out of it.

If you go into self-hosting hating containers, you’re gonna have a bad time.

You’re, right, I misread the post.

At that point DNS is handled by whatever network you’re on. Since that not always under your control, hosting a private VPN (and setting DNS though that) is the way to go.

Population crises are mostly made up and just used as a political tool to justify controlling immigration and healthcare.

Historically populations tend to balance themselves as people will choose to have fewer children when times are hard. Want more babies? Make life better for parents and children. It’s that simple.

I don’t kink shame unless they’re into snaps.

I’m getting an HTTP 522 from that link. What’s Polyproto?

Also, is there a reason you’re not considering Matrix?

This seems like a cool project. I especially love the UI’s similarity to Discord, but it still has a long road ahead to be a viable chat platform IMO.

I’ve been periodically checking in with Revolt Stoat for about a year now, and personally, the two things that I’m waiting for are:

1. Voice chat - It seems like this is coming, but they had to clean up a bunch or tech debt first
2. Federation - Self-hosted chat is great, but not being able to talk to other servers is incredibly limiting for a social tool. AFAIK they’re not planning on implementing this. This is likely a deal-breaker for a lot of folks.

I’m currently running Matrix synapse, and while matrix is kinda a messy ecosystem, it’s really hard to compete with its maturity and adoption in the FOSS / Self-Hosted space.

Also, not super important, but this blog post reads like it’s AI generated.

How could we tell you about an IP inside your own network? Look at the host using that IP and see what’s running on it.

There is a mind-blowing amount of variety on both TikTok and YouTube. Just because these “someones” to which you refer are posting brainrot garbage doesn’t mean the entire platform is like that.

I think about the fact that dinosaurs probably tasted delicious more than I should.

In that case, why self-host? A cloud-based solution would accomplish this very easily.

If avoiding downtime is your number one priority and you’re willing to take on a lot of complexity to achieve it, then Kubernetes is probably the way to go. There are various chat platforms that can be distributed, but keeping a game server state synced between nodes isn’t an easy task. There’s a reason most multiplayer games are instanced.

I do find it a little odd that you’re so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.
